Sen. Reid Supported by ‘Phony Vets for Truth’

Posted by ZZ Bachman...

Here is a shot from Scott Ott related to the insanity that is currently going on in Congress. The elected officials we have in Washington are making new all time lows sidetracking important work in Congress in favor of petty politics. What an example to the rest of the world. What a role model of democracy in the middle east! The latest tirade over a comment taken completely out of context by Rush Limbaugh just underscores the hypocrisy on the left when it comes to free speech. What a farce…

(WASHINGTON D.C.) — Just hours after Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, took the senate floor to call on radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for using the term “phony soldiers” during his Friday broadcast, a newly-formed, grassroots veterans organization endorsed the senate majority leader’s efforts.
Phony Vets for Truth, an non-profit group comprised of ex-military personnel who have publicly and deceptively disparaged the United States, the president or fellow U.S. troops in time of war, applauded “Sen. Reid’s bravery, and his appropriate use of senate debate time to discuss Mr. Limbaugh’s scurrilous remarks.”

In a statement completely independent of the Democrat National Committee, Phony Vets for Truth, a non-partisan think tank, also said: “When private citizens start to believe that they can say whatever they want without being subject to the normal democratic process of selective sound-bite editing, and selective outrage, then it’s time for Congress to take action.”

The group, which has no affiliation with professional Vietnam Veteran Sen. John Kerry, also commended Sen. Tom Harkin, D-IA, for “boldly standing behind the protection of the ‘speech and debate‘ clause of the Constitution to suggest that Mr. Limbaugh was high on drugs.” — as reported by Scott Ott / ScrappleFace
