Right wing radio host Rush Limbaugh said yesterday that Democratic campaign ads featuring flag draped caskets of American soldiers killed in Iraq were "shamelessly" exaggerating the effects of death.
Dozens of Democratic Party congressional candidates have been using G.I. funeral footage in TV ads criticizing the GOP for getting the United States into a military quagmire in Iraq.
"The Democrats have shamelessly selected news video that exaggerates," Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated radio talk show.
"To begin with, a lot of Americans who are wounded survive, despite lost limbs and brain injuries, yet these ads focus on those who happen to be dead," Limbaugh said.
"More importantly, the ads fail to understand that good Christians will have a life after death."
Limbaugh's first caller on yesterday's program greeted the host with a hearty, "Ditto, Rush!" He said he was Sgt. Gary Moniker of Wolf City, Wyoming, and had died in a roadside explosion in Baghdad just last week at age 23.
"Now I have my whole life ahead of me," the caller said. "Hoo-ah!"
