You just aren't going to find anybody who can seriously be considered a spokesman for the left saying anything remotely as disrespectful of the troops as Limbaugh's "Phony Soldier" thing. Cenk Uygur is probably the closest thing the left has to a Limbaugh or a Coulter and he has never said anything as unpatriotic.

This is what I don't get about you, Chuck. On some level you do get that the SwiftVets are seen by most people as more anti-American than MoveOn. It is, after all, 'swiftboating', not 'Betrausing' that has entered the language as a word for a lying attack on patriotism. Yet you can't draw the obvious conclusion. > Thomas Sowell..

He does have principles and he sticks to them pretty well for a politician. On McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, ANWR and even the Iraq war he absolutely does believe what he says. And he may have a temper but he doesn't hold a grudge.
