You are trying to defend your political agenda and you're failing miserably.

You can listen to the MP3 and read transcripts here:

CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men --

LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You of heard of need to blow some steam off?


Here is part of what Limbaugh is talking about:

Twenty-five prisoners have died while being held by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and two of them were murdered by Americans, one a soldier and the other a contractor working for the CIA, U.S. Army officials said yesterday.

College pranks and murder, what's the difference to Rush?
