WOW! FAUX NEWS TURNS ON FATS LIMBAUGH

I began reading FAUX's story about Fats and when I came to "or supposedly saying that troops who oppose the Iraq war are "phony soldiers." " I figured that FAUX was going into defense-mode for Fats and I thought this sealed the deal:
A literal reading of the Sept. 26 show transcript shows that the controversial host did not in fact say that soldiers opposing the war are "phony," but his remarks have left confusion as to whom he is referring when he used the phrase.

But I was wrong! FAUX correctly noted that Fats edited the transcript, just as Media Matters claimed:
On Thursday, he referenced the segment, but he edited out a portion of it,...

As an added bonus, FAUX reports what Republican Walter Jones had to say:
North Carolina Republican Rep. Walter Jones told FOX News late Monday that Limbaugh "went too far," and that he will sign on to Udall's resolution on Tuesday morning. Jones is one of two Republican House members who have consistently supported antiwar legislation.

"The men and women who have been to war in Iraq — those speaking out, they've been there, they should be respected and whether you agree or not with what they are saying, at least respect and not make such statements as (Limbaugh) had made," Jones said.
