We all know Rush is a crazy drug addict. A great post

this quote and the right-wing reflex to blame all that has gone wrong on the media and the Dems. I should say, media/dems, since they are one in the same in their eyes. But notice Rush's second-to-last sentence. Notice how he characterizes the war "...the war against Iraq." Maybe, Rush is just drugged-up, but it is at least an interesting Freudian-slip. The Reality-challenged Right is so stuck in a hate-filled, reflexive, black and white world that they still think the war is "against Iraq." Do they refuse to see the tragedy of Haditha, the general travesty that has become Iraq, because it really isn't that bad? In their view, it's Iraqi's dying more than us...we are winning! Though they pay lip service at times, they cannot differentiate between the insurgents and the other Iraqis, even three years after
Mission Accomplished. The tragedy is not just their inability to admit their guys could do wrong, it's their inability to understand why it's wrong.
Think Progress » Limbaugh: Liberals Are `Ecstatic' About Haditha, Planning `Gang Rape' of War Supporters
This Haditha story, this Haditha incident, whatever, this is it folks, this is the final big push on behalf of the Democratic Party, the American left, and the Drive-By Media to destroy our effort to win the war in Iraq. That's what Haditha represents -- and they are going about it gleefully. They are ecstatic about it... Folks, let me just put it in graphic terms. It is going to be a gang rape. There is going to be a gang rape by the Democratic Party, the American left and the Drive-By Media, to finally take us out in the war against Iraq. Make no bones about it.
