Hughes for America has Hackett’s retort to Rush’s last minute attack:

That’s typical for that fatass drug addict to come up with something like that. There’s a guy … I didn’t hear this, but actually when I was on drill this weekend, I’ve got to tell you, he lost a lot of Republican supporters with his comments. Because they were coming up to me, telling me, “I can’t believe he said that! Besides that, he called you a soldier. He doesn’t know the difference between a soldier and a marine!”

So generally, the consensus is Rush doesn’t know squat about patriotism. He’s typical of the new Republican. He’s got a lot of lip and he doesn’t walk the walk. (more…)


UPDATE: Hackett is scoring a lot of points on the crosspost @ DKos. He might really be onto something taking it to Rush. Al Franken has already shown that it is a very popular activity.
