thanks. I tried the Spotlight and the site refuses to preview my comment, that as it says I “really” posted. Anyone know a way around the obstacle.
Thanks for email. will write.

My guess is that when you see “Preview,” scroll down. It requires you to input some info, name, address, phone, but it is below “Preview.” Once you’ve input that data, click on “Preview.”

Wrote the following to Abrams:

There are good factual reasons to consider the soldier to have been from Blackburn’s district.
I know you have been sent the FDL rebuttal through the Spotlight project, so I wont burden your email inbox with the proof.

Henceforth, please double check your sources esp. when the sources are the right wing wrong-o-sphere.

com’on, help me keep my faith in MSNBC as the only TV news that is still news. go right your wrong.

BlueStateRedHead @111 – the only reason I called my Rep is that she voted to condemn Move-On.

If the folks in the Capitol are dumb enough to go on the record to condemn Move-On for insulting our troops, then they damn well better condemn ANYONE who does so.

I don’t know if they’ll listen, but I feel have to make the phonecalls.

I am betwixt and between on the condemning part. But I agree on the call the local station.

Especially since in my market as the Rush station has become our local baseball team’s radio station and the baseball teams’ ownership is pretty blue-ish.

Re: Mush Dim-Bulb a/k/a Rush Limbaugh.

Just called my Congresswoman (Pryce R-OH) and asked her to bring a resolution to the House floor condemning Limbaugh for calling anti-war vets “phony soldiers.”

Will call Senators Brown and Voinovich after lunch.

Also called the business office of the local talk radio station that airs Limbaugh, and told them that Mr. Limbaugh should have to issue an apology to all vets.

I think we all agree that Limbaugh needs to apologize, even if we don’t agree on the action Congress should take, if any.
To the Vets, and to the Bill of Rights.
Thanks, for this is a wonderful model to follow to make it happen. It would be especially valuable if the vets or military family’s among us were to do so, IMOP.
