After liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org ran a newspaper ad questioning the loyalty and patriotism of U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., voted for a House resolution condemning the group.
After conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh referred to soldiers who oppose the Iraq war as “phony soldiers,†Kingston reacted quite differently.
“The left has long targeted conservative talk radio and in particular, Rush Limbaugh.â€
— From "Jack’s Blog" on Kingston’s House of Representatives website
“Commending Rush Hudson Limbaugh III for his ongoing public support of American troops serving both here and abroad. Recognizing Mr. Limbaugh for his relentless efforts to build and maintain troop morale through worldwide radio broadcasts and personal visits to conflict regions.â€
— From a House resolution supporting Limbaugh submitted by Kingston on Oct. 1
“He has a right to speak out and say what he thinks.â€
— Kingston, defending Limbaugh in the New York Times
