The guy's status as a Republican would have been challenged either way. Why is it relevant? The only reason I can see is so someone can take it out of context and go, "ZOMG INSULTING THE MILITARY!!! RIGHTWINGATTACKMACHINESWIFTBOATTREATMENT1!11!ONEON E"

I don't even want to argue this anymore because it is ridiculous. You didn't say he doesn't insult every single member of the military. You didn't say he insults people for being in the military. He had a serviceman on his show, this fact was brought up as relevant to the political discussion and the guy was belittled and insulted. If you want to continue to defend Rush as reasonable and insist that his regularly being an ass excuses it in this case, fair enough. I'll continue not tuning in.
