YOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH RUSH LIMBAUGH
I received this email from youtube today...
After being flagged by members of the YouTube community and reviewed by
YouTube staff, the video below has been removed due to its inappropriate nature.
PHONEY SOLDIERS by Rush Limbaugh:

~~~~~~~~~~~This was my response back to them:
I was very saddened to receive an email telling me you removed a video I uploaded... You did not tell me why, just a vague reference that it was flagged by members as being inappropriate. Did you read the comments on that particular video? The negative ones were all Rush Limbaugh supporters but there were many positive ones also. I know it is your server and you can do as you please with any video but it sure seems unfair that members can flag a video that doesn't agree with their ideology as inappropriate and thus its removed, without rebuttal. Sad but true fact of life in what we think is a democracy. Thanks, thinkingblue
YOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH RUSH LIMBAUGH
On the website http://www.thethinkingblue.com/limbaughcomments.html is a remake of the Rush Limbaugh video from YOUTUBE (also you can view it above) The only changes I made were less pictures and no music. The original film had images of the devastation of war, on all people involved, the men, women and children caught in the horrors of war. I don't know why YOUTUBE pulled the video but I thought perhaps it was because of those sad pictures. We Americans get a WHITEWASHED version of the war and maybe YOUTUBE wanted to keep it that way. But if it was because of what Rush Limbaugh said on the uncut audio of his show and YOUTUBE was protecting him... THE SHAME IS ON YOUTUBE, who like so many on the right, spin, twist and cajole TRUTH until it no longer resembles actuality, just so it will fit their account of reality.
Below are some comments I managed to copy and paste before they disappear from YOUTUBE.

Your an Idiot
Rush Limbaugh cares more about the troops than most people care
about there Children.
Dem's are two faced hypocrites who are only for choice if they
agree with you. If not then they smear you. Never fails and if you
can't see this your blind with a closed mind.
rush is a draft dodger so saying he supports the milatery is an
oxymoron
If any fucking Right Wing idiot mentions ABC's Phoney Soliders
story I will kill them personally. ABC's story was about men and
women who NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY BUT CLAIMED FAKE HONORS;
Rush called REAL SOILDERS who fight and die in Bush's illegal war
PHONEY. If you right wingers can't understand the difference we
REALLY DO NEED TO KILL YOU ALL TO SAVE AMERICA.
cupera1 (3 weeks ago)That is the whole point of Media Maters is to silence any and all opposition to the left. MM is willing to do or say any lie to get rid of any one that oppose the libs.
wow... the rage and stupidity here is palpable. and internet
threats? what are you going to do come through the modem and start
a fight? just so pathetic.
Reply back and I'll give you my address. I pray that you have
balls to backup your wild dumbass left wing ideas. Bring your
punkass to my doorstep with that crap and I promise you, you won't
have to worry about the country anymore after that. Look forward
to hearing from the "True" Hate Monger. Let me guess.. liberal are
ya?
The Caller said They (the media) never talk to real soldiers. They
elect to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue. Rush
then responded "The phony soldiers". MacBeth was never mentioned.
It was clear that he thought real soldiers support the war, phony
soldiers do not.
Will somebody please help me find an honest Republican?!?
Prove me wrong if you can. I won't hold my breath waiting.
i guess i'm a phoney soldier served in afghan and iraq and against
iraq
About that Rush comment, it offends me to the point of wanting to
push in his face and tear out his eyes..
I am speaking, of course, about my daughter who is in Iraq right
now (third time), who is a liberal democrat, who opposes the war,
yet does her job regardless, who has earned two bronze stars and
seven distinguished service citations for her performance. "Phoney
soldier" indeed.
I think you can well understand my rage over this remark.
