One of Limbaugh's 'phony soldiers' speaks up

‘Our Troops Need To Come Home Now’

At [last night’s] CNN Democratic debate, the candidates heard a strong warning against U.S. military action against Iran from Christopher Jackson, a Marine who served three tours of duty in Iraq:
I feel that if we continue on the path we’re at, that’s where we’re going to end up — in Iran. And that’s not what our troops need. Our troops need to come home now.
The entire audience, including the candidates, stood and gave Jackson a rousing ovation. Watch the video here.
This is precisely the type of Marine that the Oxycontin Pig-Boy, America's #3 Chickenhawk, ElDrugbo Limbaugh, defamed, derided and shamelessly called a 'phony soldier' six weeks ago.

Limbaugh, just like every single wingnut I know personally, were all talk when it came to their time to serve our nation, but they will nonetheless, criticize and mock young men like Christopher Jackson, a veteran of three tours in Iraq, because he dares to speak the truth to liars and those who loathe our troops.

We will see what Limbaugh says about this young Marine on his show tomorrow. Well, on second thought -- I'll wait for the truth, and the transcript, on Media Matters, Think Progress, or some other progressive site.
