Fighting Knife Camillus
Do Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly suffer from foot in mouth disease?
Limbaugh on his radio show referred to soldiers who speak out against the war in Iraq as "phony soldiers." O'Reilly was impressed with how civil the African-American customers were at Sylvia's Restaurant in Harlem. They didn't beat their wifes in public or scream obscenties, and they even used forks and knives. O'Reilly meant well. He was trying to dispell racial stereotypes, but it came out as patronizing and naive. Having served in Vietnam as a young Marine, I find Limbaugh's remarks more offensive. It galls me that anyone who has never served a day in our military should call anyone a 'phony soldier.'
I read the transcript of the Limbaugh exchange and was saddened that anyone who doesn't fall into lockstep with the pro-war yakkity-yaks is now deemed "phony". This isn't even a liberal/conservative issue anymore....MANY troops, both active and veteran, have come out to criticize the war in Iraq and how it's been conveyed to the American public.
I read the issue about O'Reilly's trip to Harlem. There, I'll cut him some slack, if just a little. He dined with Al Sharpton which is a feat in itself (not sure I'd even be patient or brave to do that) but he really could've stated his sentiments a little more sensibly.
And so the media organ grinders roll on and on.....
