The infamous letter that Harry Reid presented in front of the senate and sent to the network of Rush Limbaugh, has been sold for over 2 million dollars. For those of you that are unaware of the happenings, here's how it goes.
Several weeks ago Rush Limbaugh was in conversation about a soldier Jesse MacBeth who lied about being a soldier. He told stories about being in Iraq and the atrocities he saw. All lies. This man never made it out of boot camp. The caller made a statement that he's fed up with these guys who pretend to be soldiers and Rush replied, yes..the phony soldiers. This is where the fire started. Not long before this the congress grilled General Petreaus on the senate floor. Hillary in her own words called Petreaus a liar when she said, "I just don't buy it." So, the Dems had to find a way to attack the conservatives. So Reid took it upon himself to call attention to this 'phony soldiers' remark. Reid took everything out of context (as did Media Matters which is where this whole bunch of bologna started). He exclaimed that what Rush said was inexcusable. All of the drive by media also claims that Rush was calling the soldiers who opposed the war "phony soldiers". Wrong. Go read the transcript or listen to the broadcast in its entirety. The dems wanted to take focus off themselves for their ridiculous slander of Petreaus, this is all they could come up with. They are listening to everything the conservatives say trying their hardest to catch them up. This insanity caught fire and all the media outlets were reporting 'Rush Limbaugh calls soldiers who oppose the Iraq war phony soldiers.
After weeks of this hogwash, Rush had an idea. He was given a letter by his producer on the Clear Channel that contained a statement from Harry Reid. All though I don't have the full content of the letter, Reid read it on the Senate floor. It demanded that Rush apologize for his 'phony soldier' statement. The letter was passed around and concluded with signatures of over 40 democrats, among them Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. This letter was posted on eBay and all proceeds would go Marine Corp Law Enforcement, which provides college scholarships to the children of fallen soldiers. (Rush is a chairman of this organization). When I heard the announcement and saw the video of Rush telling of his plan, my eyes welled with tears and I got goosebumps all over. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Reid's plan had totally backfired.
However, when Reid heard that the letter had over $1 million dollar bid, he tried to take credit on the importance of this letter. He said he had no idea it would sell for this much. Basically he tried to tell people that him and Rush were in on this together. What he doesn't understand (which Limbaugh pointed out so well) is that the high bidding on this letter was not do to the content in which in entailed, but rather a historical document of the senate trying to shut down the voice of a private citizen. Yes, Rush is a private citizen. He may be in the public eye, but he is not a politician, nor does he work for the government.
The letter sold today for over $2 million dollars! What a tremendous gift this is. All I have to say is, Rush, you did it again. You are the voice of the conservative America and I don't know what we would do without you. I'm thankful to you everyday for your 'talent on loan from God' that reaches millions of people. You have given strength and confidence to so many people who have decided to no longer sit idle while we watch our nation fall apart. Myself included.
