Time Text
Okay, uh Mr. Broadcast Engineer, stand by on the audio soundbite starting at number four.
And greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
A reminder, Ditto Cam up and running.

Telephone number 800 282882.
The email address is rush at EIB net.com.
I keep getting uh emails.
I check them during the break.
What what what do you keep checking out there?
Today, folks, I have I'm checking on my phone lines at home.
Uh I have uh uh not the landline phones, I never used the phone, I couldn't care less about those.
I mean talking about the online phone lines that allow internet connectivity.
I have uh sites set up that I can tell where the lines are up and down.
And so I keep checking.
And the backup, one of the backup T1s was has been up for the last half hour, just went down.
Uh neighbor just called to Wellington wrote, I don't talk on the phone.
I hate the phone, but so I get emails, hey, hey, we're just we just got our telephones back.
I'm calling up about DSL.
He still doesn't have power either, so he's got his regular phones, but no uh online.
Uh we're gonna be last.
We are going to be last to get hooked up to everything.
The uh although I I have to tell you, I have to tell you this.
On on uh what was Saturday, was it Saturday?
Saturday or Sunday.
Uh what was it?
It had to be it had to be Saturday.
And I was I was driving in to play golf.
I told you about how we we uh jury rigged the golf carts and stole the generator to charge them up.
So that we could uh we could play.
And and and I'm driving in, and here comes uh like a 14 or 15 motorcycle cop of a bunch of giant power trucks.
And uh, oh, whoopy doo, hubba hub in my neighborhood, even these guys are heading.
And I looked on the trucks and they're from Detroit.
They're from New Fallujah.
And I'm saying, this is this is you know awfully nice.
So coming home, we had these guys, the trucks weren't yet deployed, they were just rolling out, as it were.
And so when I was coming home, the trucks had been deployed, and this was this is one lane of the road's closed, so they got a flag man out there stopping traffic in one direction for a time and then letting it move any other.
One of the times I was stopped, I got out, and I went up to one of the guys from a truck from New Fallujah, and I said, you know, I really appreciate you guys coming down here to help us.
I really do.
You've left your families, you've left your homes, hunting season up there.
Uh and and you probably had to drive those rigs all the way here uh for from there.
That can't have been comfortable.
Very, very, very appreciate.
And I am.
I mean, this whole state of Florida is flooded with uh with out of state repair workers uh that are coming in and trying to get the incompetent utility we have here up and running.
And it's I appreciate it.
I just I I really and I'm gonna be eager to see.
You know, I got my FPL bill last night or yesterday, and I I wrote some checks out last night.
And I'm gonna be eager to see the next bill.
I have been, it'll be it's eight days today with outline power, which means I owe FP and L nothing.
And I just want to see what my bill is in the next billing cycle.
I just want to see.
I'll bet you it's the same.
I will bet you it'll be the same.
I'll uh I'll uh I'll remember to like you know uh No, I haven't complained.
What good is complaining to anybody?
I never complain.
What do you mean complain?
Complain to who?
You mean call the 800 number to file a complaint?
Well, I'll come on.
The mayor can't.
I I went on the website, the town website, checked, you know, the mayor puts a message up there at four o'clock every afternoon, or the town council leader or whatever, and they don't know.
They've they've got their theories as to as to why, but no, nobody's afraid to complain.
That'll only irritate them and make them matter.
It's the same old appeasement defense.
You know, don't complain.
They're doing the best they can.
And they are, by the way, the the power company here is running way ahead of schedule.
But of course I knew that would be the case.
When they said November 22nd, that that was never gonna be realistic.
They just saw when they came online November 2nd and 3rd, they wanted everything.
Wow, these guys are doing a great job.
I know how this stuff works.
I know PR, I know spin.
I know it when I see it.
Uh like pornography, it's hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
So no, I why who why call and complain?
And then the newspaper has these numbers.
Power outage called Is really get a computer that won't talk back to you.
Fine, we'll report this outage and be one of the There's no phone call that's going to speed it up.
No phone call, no amount of com.
No, no, there no HR says, what if you stay on one of the little properties on your property?
They'll hook that up first.
No, that isn't gonna happen because they all get connected to the same poll.
Once one property gets there, they all get it.
Uh HR is saying if you act like a little guy, they'll help you sooner than uh than if they think you're a big guy, is what he's saying.
It isn't gonna work that way.
Uh here's the phone number if you want to be on the program 800 282-2882, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
Uh listen to this.
University of Georgia student Brandon Esco has faced his share of razzing for being a nutrition science major.
This is a field traditionally dominated by women.
You're only in that major because of the girls is the most common teasing that he's heard.
But at the uh at the school, this University of Georgia, at their College of Family and Consumer Sciences, Brandon Esco is part of a growing trend.
Five years ago, only about 10% of the college students were men.
Last year, nearly a third of the 1,700 students.
This is home ech.
We're talking home ech.
They've just renamed it, but you know, when you when you if family and consumer science is home economics.
It's what the girls were taken when we were in shop class learning how to saw and use jack planes and all of that.
Well, I know a lot of women that have failed home ec.
I think I've known them personally.
Nevertheless, it's home ec, and now nearly one third of the 1,700 students, roughly 40% of the tenure track faculty were men.
Those changes shared by other schools nationwide are helping to undermine the stereotypes long acquainted with home economic programs, often sneeringly chided as the Mrs. Degree.
Experts say even the moniker home ecos is outdated.
Many schools have changed their program titles to such terms as human sciences to reflect a broader nature.
That's that's no different.
You know, back in my day growing up, a window washer was a window washer today, vision control coordinator.
That's still a window washer.
Nothing against them.
I mean, just but we we dress these terms out.
Still home egg.
Except I'll tell you the real new name for this course is called husband training.
If you're i if if you are making a pitch to get more men into home ech, what are you doing?
You're training them to be the kind of husbands you want them to be, so you don't have to do home egg.
This is husband training 101 going on at the University of Georgia and all these other places.
Debbie Schlossel, a friend of mine, syndicated columnist, sends me this little note, little story.
You need help voting in a solution to the Palm Beach butterfly ballot fiasco.
The old people there couldn't figure out.
The city of Detroit will now pre-vote for you.
As reported by Detroit's ABC News affiliate, some Detroit voters receive their absentee ballots with votes already cast for the Detroit City Clerk Jackie Curry and her friend the embattled mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick.
By the way, speaking of Kwame, did you know that he said he'd take the uh earring out of his uh ear?
That diamond stud, he had a diamond stud in his ears.
He's taking it out because he wants to look more professional.
At any rate, uh the city clerk Jackie Curry, who administers all elections in Detroit and distributes the ballots, got more votes than any candidate in the August primary.
Because she sent out ballots that aren't even pre-voted.
I'm I'm I'm not kidding.
Since the absentee ballot.
Well, that's the that's the whole point when you start talking about voter fraud and and voting machines and not counting all the votes, and um I guess this is the left's reaction.
Okay, if you Republicans Republicans are gonna steal elections from us, we're gonna send our absentee ballots out with our candidates already voted for.
All of this is uh on top of a Sunday Detroit news investigation that showed many absentee ballots, as many as 380,000 registered to dead people, fraudulent or invalid addresses, and mentally incapacitated voters.
The Detroit News reported that Curry's paid workers help incapacitated workers in a back room at a nursing home.
Paper also reported that these suspicious practices date back to 1964, when Jackie Curry and her late husband were charged with soliciting people to sign applications for absentee ballots and advising them how to mark their ballots.
So is it any wonder John Kerry won Michigan?
They sent the absentee ballots out and they were already pre-marked.
Back in just a moment.
Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair, Rush Limbaugh, America's Anchorman, America's truth detector, servant of humanity, play-by-playman, and commentator on the news, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
This is Neil in uh Evansville, Indiana.
Nice to have you on the program.
Uh Rush, great to talk to you, Megadiddos.
Thank you.
I just like to say I think it's uh pretty poor that the media has gone to Alito's mother and uh tried to uh basically take advantage of her and and kind of pump her for information.
Uh it kind of reminds me of whenever they went uh trying to dig up information on Robert's adopted children, and I think it's just kind of pretty disgusting at the levels that they reach to to try to gain information when they don't really have a lot of people.
You know, but see, let them keep doing it.
Your reaction is the same that every every dignified, sensible person in the country is having.
And I'm sure they tried to prove in Roberts' case, they tried to establish doubt about his uh adoption procedure, because his two adopted kids are from where South America somewhere, but why are they so white?
The media wondered.
And they wanted to get to his adoption records to find out how because everybody wants to adopt white kids and he get he went down there where people are dark skinned and he got white people.
How did he do that?
They want to drum up some kind of controversy.
Of course, we're never supposed to even touch on Chelsea Clinton.
Leave her alone.
Her parents are doing a fabulous job of raising her away from the spotlight.
Leave her alone.
We're not supposed to talk about Hillary Clinton's mom, never supposed to go bother her, Dorothy, whatever her name was.
We're not supposed to do any of that.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
But well, we can go get the we can go get uh Alito's mom and of course what does she say?
Of course he's opposed to abortion.
What what was she gonna say?
She's 90 years old, she's honest.
Uh perhaps this this was the greatest one.
Connie Chung.
Uh we have uh we have audio here for my television show back in 1995.
Connie had a segment or a show called Eye to Eye with Connie Chung.
Remember, she went out and talked to Newt's mom.
Remember this?
Nothing.
And I can't tell you what he said about Hillary.
You can't.
I can't.
Why don't you just whisper it to me just between the bitch?
I think.
She takes over.
She does.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
She can't.
She's a bitch.
That's what.
And and yeah, every everybody was denying it.
And when we pointed this out, but how about this?
How about Connie Chung?
We got cameras, you got lights, you got everything.
Come on, just whisper it just between you and me.
So that's a common practice.
I mean, this is uh this is in the Democrats playbook uh as well, and it's just look at folks, it it says far more about who they are than whatever they supposedly learn from these uh invasive interviews yesterday, CNN Wolf Blitzer, the Situation Room, Ted Kennedy the guest, the Wolfster says you put out a statement expressing your disappointment in Judge Alito.
Does that mean automatically you're gonna vote against him?
Uh no, it doesn't, but it means that we're going to have a uh full and complete and a fair hearing.
Uh, my concern is that uh this nomination uh was more out of uh weakness rather than uh strength.
Uh we know that it was sort of the extreme right wing of the president's own party that sank the previous uh nominee.
Where do where have I heard that before?
This is a nomination of uh weakness.
I think Senator Kennedy stole that from me, ladies and gentlemen.
That was my reaction to the nomination of Harriet Myers.
Now listen to how wrong the liberals continue to get it.
Last night on the news hour with Jim Lara on PBS, he was talking to Mark Maxie Shields, who hasn't been on TV much since CNN canceled um Capital Gang was the name of that show.
And Jim Lara says, uh, Mark, how how do you read this?
This this being couched today as the conservatives are saying it's more to it than that, but others are saying it's a simple case that the conservatives say, hey, if Roe v.
Wade comes before the court and Alito's on the court, he'll vote to overrule it.
I think that's absolutely true, Jim.
I think with both sides, they couldn't say that with Harriet Myers, but with with both sides, what you have is it's the equivalent in popular conversation of saying it's not the money, it's the principle, it's the money.
They say it's not a litmus test.
It's a litmus test.
It's a litmus test on both sides.
It's a litmus test for the liberals, and it's a liberal test for the conservatives.
Yeah, but you know, you notice how he just so casually swats away this notion there might be some principle involved here.
Here's a guy with a 15-year judicial record.
Senator Kennedy voted for him twice, by the way.
He has to have voted for him twice because Alito got a hundred votes both times.
One of those times, and the Democrats ran the Senate by a 12-vote majority, 56 to 44.
And so uh we now got Shields here talking, ah, it's just it's about abortion, it's all about that could have been true about Harriet Myers.
But it is not true in this case.
This is a nomination about the future direction of the court and the Constitution.
And abortion is one small part of that, no question about it.
But to the left, it is all about abortion, pure and simple, because if they get somebody who will open Rowe versus Wade, they are confident they'll get somebody who will continue to legislate from the uh from the bench.
Uh Larer then follows it up, says, so where does that leave the Democrats on this, Mark?
The Democrats who strategy was to the rope a dope, go mute when Harriet Myers was there.
Uh now realize they have to come out swinging, and so they came out today and and realized that the only way they're gonna raise any questions about this man is on substance.
And they don't dare go there.
They don't dare go into substance.
The Democrats don't go to substance.
They can't afford to go to substance, they lose on it every time.
All they can do, let me tell you what they're doing right now.
They're holding their fire, their research teams are working on this guy.
As and and by the way, Schumer and these guys say, we need long time.
We can't get this done before Christmas.
Why, we need we need not rush the judgment.
Why?
We have lifetime appointments, Supreme Court.
Way we need to take our time.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, the fact is they've got briefing books already prepared on this guy because his name's been on the list for how many months now?
They know everything there is to know about this guy, and what they do know is there's not enough to oppose him on substance.
And so what they're doing, one of the reasons they want the delay is they don't want to give up their post-Thanksgiving recess.
And the second reason is they're hoping against hope that there's something out there.
That this guy had sex with an insect or something out there, something out there that they can find that will disqualify.
They want to take all the time necessary to dig up something or to fabricate a charge.
Remember.
Where the Democrats and Supreme Court nominations are concerned, you can ask Clarence Thomas.
It's not the nature of the evidence that is important.
It's the seriousness of the charge.
They have no desire whatsoever to get anywhere near substance on this.
Here is uh Beverly in Cincinnati.
Hi, you're nice to call.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I just love you so much.
You are my best friend.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I wanted to let you know about the DeWine about faith.
Um, do you remember last August when we had the election to get Jeannie Schmidt in for Rob Portman?
Yeah.
Uh her the guy that ran across from her, that Paul Hackett.
Oh we remember Paul Hackett, and he knows us.
The bottom feeder.
Um, I heard last week on the news that he on the local news here that he's thinking about challenging DeWine for his seat, and I think that could have been a giant dope slap for DeWine.
That a lot of his conservative base would not vote for Hackett, but just possibly not vote at all.
Because if you look, Hackett did not win by that much.
Uh Hackett did not, he but Hackett lost.
Oh, that's right.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
He he didn't lose by that much.
Well, but there's a reason for that.
He ran in a in a Republican district.
This this this Hackett guy, and he can say whatever he wants to say about me.
I can take it.
You know, I'm a public figure.
I've been a public figure a long time.
Words don't bother me a bit.
He can say whatever he wants.
The fact of the matter is, this guy ran two campaigns.
When he was outside the district raising money, he was the biggest anti-war dove kook you had ever met.
When he was in the district campaigning and running commercials, he ran as the best friend George Bush ever had.
He tried to the Democrats tried to put another anti-war activist in a military uniform and have him run and get elected.
And you thought they'd learn a lesson after trying with Kerry.
He ran can't commercials that aligned himself with Bush.
People in Ohio weren't paying attention this district, easily could have gotten the impression that Hackett was a Republican.
So and the Democrats say, this sent a message nationwide.
We can win back to House.
No, it didn't, because you had to run as a Republican to even get as close as you did with Hackett.
Had Hackett run in that district as the Democrat liberally is, it would have been a slam dunk, landslide defeat, Finey.
Over with you're listening to Rush Limbaugh on the excellence in podcasting network.
Rush Limbaugh, lover of uh mankind, protector of motherhood, supporter of fatherhood in most cases, just not mine, and in general, all round good guy, well-known radio rockin' tour.
And back to the phones of Belford, New Jersey.
Hello, Tom, you're next on the EIB network.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Good afternoon, Rush.
How are you?
Fine.
Good.
Uh I just uh saw the Chris Matthews uh talk with Dean last night, and Chris Matthews uh flatting Dean about being anti-Italian, the ethnic issue.
And Dean was trying to say that uh he lost uh as a prosecutor, he lost some cases.
I just wonder if you had seen that.
Well, we have the audio of this.
I um and I must confess, I don't watch this show.
I only hear about it from people who get agitated when they watch this show.
So uh uh I pay people uh to watch this show.
I like a positive outlook on life.
If I watch this stuff every night, I'd be as fit to be tied as a lot of other people are.
So I don't watch it.
But I have enough here to get an idea of what happened.
We have the audio sound bites.
Howard Dean was on hardball with Chris Matthews last night.
Matthews said, somebody in the Democratic Party's putting out an attack sheet in this new justice nominee for the Supreme Court.
And the first attack is that he was lenient on the mob back in an eighty-eight case.
He let the Lucchese family get off.
Says he was an embarrassment to the government.
Here's a guy that's been tough on crime.
Why start off on that issue, Dean?
I didn't put it out, but somebody did, so let's so I'll be responsible for it.
Uh, it's put out by the Democrats.
But go All right.
Um the uh president put out a sheet this morning, Republican talking points.
One of the things he said that was that uh Judge Alito was a spectacular prosecutor.
Well, turns out he wasn't quite so spectacular, and he lost some important cases, and one wit is which that those guys, that particular case, those guys all got off, 20 of them, uh, without even putting up a defense witness.
So at least in that particular case, uh that's an example.
You notice how wishy-washy these dems are on prosecutors.
When a prosecutor comes along and indicts Scooter Libby, they love boy, that's a prosecutor's prosecutor.
Now all of a sudden, here's Alito who the Democrats have voted for a hundred to zip twice in the U.S. Senate.
He is a lousy prosecutor.
And now they're going after the maybe he's got mob ties.
That's the purpose of the document.
Maybe he got mob ties.
Alito, Scalito, Lucethy.
Maybe he let these guys off.
Maybe he didn't try them right.
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe he's got mob ties.
I mean, let this stuff flow from their lips, folks.
Let it just keep flowing.
But there's more to this than meets the eye.
Sit tight.
Matthews said, Well, what about the Genovese case the the year later when he won the conviction and put three of those big mob guys away, including the top guy in New Jersey?
Look, here's the you don't sense a little ethnic aspect to this, the fact he's Italian American, they nailed this.
Number one issue against this guy is mob.
And he's weak on the mob.
You don't see that, huh?
No.
I don't know.
You don't see it.
I think everybody else does.
I'll tell you what the number one is.
I see it.
Tell you what the number one issue is.
Matthews says, are the Democrats of the pro-choice party, period.
Is that all we got here?
Is that the only argument we can make where the pro-choice party is that it?
The government is.
No.
My party respects everybody's views, but my party firmly believes that the government should stay out of people's personal lives.
But you're pro-choice party.
Are you not?
You sound like you're against them for being pro-life.
Are you pro-choice?
I'm not against people for being pro-life.
I actually was the first chairman who met for a long for a long time with a pro-life Democrat.
Well I can see why some of you people watching this last night were a little confused here.
Democrats don't get put on the spot this way very often.
And of course, Dean was was as mistaken as he can be or lying, whatever it is.
Uh you know damn well.
I get you know, if you want to have fun with a with a liberal Democrat who claims they're pro-choice, go up and say, I am too.
You know what?
I am pro-cho.
I am very happy that you hear you say you're pro-choice.
What do you mean you're pro-choice, they'll say to you?
Oh, yeah, I I just I I choose uh not to have the abortions as often as possible.
Well, that's not pro-cho- Oh wait a minute.
I thought it was the word choice.
How come only you can be pro-choice?
Pro-choice does mean abort, huh?
Oh, no.
No, because Well, if I can if I can't say I'm pro-choice and that I choose life, then what's the point of pro-choice?
They are not pro-choice, folks.
They do have a litmus test.
They're the ones that they have people standing outside adoption centers trying to talk women out of going in there and trying to steer them down the street to plan parenthood, and I'll call a massive protest rally to talk about the infringement on women's rights simply by trying to drag them into or persuade them into going.
By the way, grab grabbed a feminist update theme, Mike.
I should have done this at the top.
I warned you people yesterday, had the first bit of news on this that the nags were gonna have a four o'clock yesterday afternoon protest at the Supreme Court, the National Association of Gals, and they were gonna protest the nomination of Alito.
You have that?
Not yet.
Well, it should be right at the top.
That's probably why we can't find it.
Nevertheless, they had this giant protest plan.
Uh a mere number of hours after Alito was nominated.
And well, here it is.
May as well do the update, go back to the archives.
We haven't done a feminist update in a long time, but this bit of news clearly deserves it.
The Forrester sisters.
And this is actual audio that we We're feminist and we're in your face.
Yes.
Open your door.
Other than that, brother, they could for me.
We're feminists and we're in your face!
We're fierce!
We're feminist!
They are on a girl.
Just like the girl married, dear old dad, they make me so mad at men.
Talking about men.
Well, you can't beat them up, cause they're bigger than you.
You can't live with them and you just can't shoot on men.
We're fierce!
We're famous!
We're fierce!
We're feminist!
Talk about men!
And we're in your town!
We're in your town!
Men!
Talk about men!
We're fierce!
We're feminist!
And we're in your town!
We're fierce!
That is actual audio from a pro-choice rally back in the early 90s that we mixed in with the song.
We're fierce, we're feminists, and we're in your face.
So the nags, they say they tried to rally the troops.
They go back and try to relive the good old days.
And you know how many people showed up yesterday.
Take it, Mr. Snerdley, how many people showed up?
It was twenty people.
Twenty people, and they were all nags.
They were all from the National Association of Gals.
They were they didn't get any of the satellite groups.
Twenty people.
And it still got covered.
It still got covered as a major news event.
But it it it it was just a joke, and it's symbolic of what has happened to this once great liberal coalition.
They simply couldn't agitate and irritate enough average citizens to join them in their protest because it's nothing new.
Folks, when you've been crying wolf for thirty years and you say the same things over and over for 30 years, at some point, it's it's it's like it's like the Democrats in Social Security.
They've been telling America's seasoned citizens for as long as I've been doing radio shows.
Republicans are gonna cut your social security if they win the election.
Your social security is gonna get cut.
They want to take it away from you.
They want to take your medicine away from you.
They want you give you a can opener so you can open your owl poll, but that's it.
They are going to make sure that you lose your house.
I heard Cranston say this when I was in California back in 1984.
If Reagan was re-elected, you old people on Social Security will have your housing taken away from you.
Well, you say this over and over for 30 years, and yet social security checks keep getting bigger.
May not be as big as you'd like, but I mean you still have your house.
You still get your social security check.
At some point you're going to say, wait a minute.
All these fear-mongering tactics simply don't come true.
Same thing here with the nags and abortion and all that.
Now, one other thing about this Matthews business, because Matthews got this document, and by the way, this document was embedded with its creator.
Let me find, let me see who it was.
Yeah.
Here's the story to the American spectator.
Kudos to the fellows at Red State and Town Hall who nailed DNC dirty tricksters for their sliming of Sam Alito.
Red State got hold of a word document from the DNC opposition researchers, which included embedded data that showed who worked on it.
And based on their research, a couple of low-level flunkies pulled the dirt together about about Alito being soft on the mob.
One woman named Devrah Adler did the polish.
Now, who might Devrah Adler be?
Well, Clinton White House documents reveal that she was one of Bruce Reed's deputies on domestic policy back when the Democrats ran the White House.
She served as an associate director for health policy.
Now Devrah Adler is plying her Clinton training for Howard Dean, as reported by the American Spectator blog yesterday.
Harry Reid seemed to sense a title shift in public opinion and mainstream media coverage of the Alito nomination.
And before noon he spoke to Howard Dean, and he he asked that Dean toned down the Alito rhetoric, and uh and Dean said the hell with that.
He declined the invitation to be civil.
Now comes the DNC Dirt document, which attempts to slime Alito with charges that he was soft on organized crime and mean to immigrants.
You see a pattern here?
Because remember, Chuck Schumer had a couple staffers.
One of them, both of them worked at uh at that website that David Brock runs for George Soros, and they trashed and outed the private financial records of the black lieutenant governor in Maryland, Michael Steele, who has since announced his candidacy for the United States Senate.
And so here you have Democrats running dirty opposition research uh organizations designed to slime these nominees and Republican candidates, and they sit around and they talk about culture corruption all over the place.
But, my friends, here's the Peter Resistance, because as I've told you, the Democratic Party mainstream is now its left-wing fringe kooks.
It is the people that populate these wacko websites out there, move on.org and others.
They're responsible for much of the fundraising, and thus they are responsible for putting words in the Democrats' mouths, and they are mad as hell.
They are mad as hell the Democrats are not anti-war.
They're mad as hell that the Democrats did not meet with Cindy Sheehan, for example.
And they are they have they have their own litmus test for their presidential nominee, and it better be one that's anti-war, or they're not gonna they're not gonna offer their support.
So one of these websites is called Daily Chaos, K-O-S.
And some clown posted something about this Matthews document, this DNC document that Matthews was raising or uh waving around the other day about about the sliming of Alito for being soft on the mob.
He says, Well, look what we have here.
Tim Chapman at Town Hall has the entire Democrat document that Chris Matthews called disgusting, and which Republican liars from Drudge On Down are using as the basis of their claim that Democrats attacked Alito for being Italian American.
Only one problem.
Read the so-called disgusting memo, doesn't say anything like that.
Do a search.
The word Italian isn't even in it.
The whole so-called outrage has been a complete fabrication by Chris Matthews, by Matt Drudge, and by the perennially race baiting right.
Oh, by all means, the memo talks about Scolito, a long-held nickname given to Alito by legal friend and foe alike to describe his far-right skilly-alike views and horror of horrors, one point out of 15 talks about a case where a U.S. attorney Alito failed to win convictions at 20 mobsters after the longest criminal trial in U.S. history.
Doesn't say anything remotely implying Alito had any connection to the mobsters except prosecuting them and apparently botching the case.
So Chris Fairgay Matthews, in addition to being the smarmy sack of pundit crap that we always knew he was, flatly made up the part.
This is a Democrat website, folks.
That you're listening to me read from.
So Chris Fairgame Matthews, in addition to being a smarmy sack of pundit crap we always knew he was, flatly made up the part about the Italian American slam in the memo.
He lied.
He put two and two together in his own head, came up with mobsters equals Italian equals Alito as his own slam and then sold it as a disgusting democratic attack.
Let the bastard hear about it tomorrow.
He fabricated the entire race baiting slam in his own warped head.
Ask him why he did it, because as an Italian American, I am interested in hearing that.
Goes on and on and on to slam Matthews.
Now this is this is this is from the front page of the Daily Chaos, taking vicious shots at Chris Matthews.
The New York Times gets a break today.
This is the Democrat crack up I am talking about.
The left wing doesn't even like what its media guys do when they try to be fair.
And so Matthews under bigger assault from his own buddies than probably you have ever uh subjected him to.
Quick timeout as we roll right on.
Stay with us.
All right, now I'm starting to get mad.
Now that now what, Brian?
What are you saying?
Now my backup T1 line that's been up for the last hour just went down.
At home.
I'm starting to get mad.
Nine days it's gonna be tomorrow.
Nine days.
Without power or uh or telephones.
I mean, it's just well, I've got a generator, yeah, but I've got it better than most.
I shouldn't complain.
I'm sorry, take it back.
Two more bites here with Matthews and Howard Dean, and this is really good because I don't know what Matt maybe Matthew's trying to regain some lost credibility after this Valerie Plame uh uh cliff that he went over, uh, hoping for Fitzmash's uh last couple weeks.
But he continues to just bear down, bore in on Howard Dean on why don't you just say it?
Why won't you say that your party is pro-choice?
The position we support is a woman has a right to make and a family has a right to make up their own mind about their health care without government interference.
That's pro-choice.
A woman and a family have a right to make up their own minds about their health care without government interference.
That's our position.
Why do you hesitate from the phrase pro-choice?
Because I think it's often misused.
If you're pro-choice, it implies you're not pro-life.
That's not true.
There are a lot of pro-life Democrats.
Uh yeah, are they allowed to say so?
Name one.
I'd like to meet the person.
The last one I knew wouldn't wasn't allowed to speak at the Democrat convention in 19 whatever, 92 was Bob Casey, who was the governor of Pennsylvania.
So Matthews still keeps asking him, and he still keeps avoiding the questions.
So Matthews says, Well, well, do you believe in abortion rights?
I believe that the government should say out of personal life, the personal lives of families and women.
Stop it.
Stop.
Stop right there.
Stop right there.
Stop, stop, stop.
Well, then I guess you're for social security reform.
Government ought to stay out of the lives.
Government's telling people they have to take social security, can't use their own money, can't have their own savings accounts.
What is this, Howard?
You see the inconsistency.
He doesn't even want to admit they're pro-choice, even though I'm telling you, run the test.
Go up to a pro-choice woman or pro-choice liberal and tell them you two are pro-choice, but that you choose the abortion, and they'll tell you you are not pro-choice.
Well, that's another thing too.
H.R. Singh, I thought this is a winning issue for him.
Pro-choice, pro-choice.
The ought to be shouting this in the rafters.
If the majority of the country's pro-choice, why is Howard Dean so reluctant to use the term?
Out of our lives.
That's what I believe.
I find it interesting that you've hesitated to say what the party's always stood for, which is the choice position.
The party believes the government does not belong in making personal decisions.
There's some learning things here about a hesitancy I didn't know about before.
I'm learning things here about hesitancy I did not know about before.
Dean's probably flipping his wig here and is making plans to get even with Matthews as the interview ends.
But the party believes the government doesn't belong in making personal decisions.
We go down the list here on how many personal decisions the government doesn't allow you to make without their involvement from how you use your property to where you can build your house to whether you can have your own private social security savings account.
Do I have to keep going?
I mean, folks, we have them right where we want them.
This is we just want them to keep talking.
They cannot back up their beliefs on substance, and as Dean has just proven, they don't dare be honest about what they really believe.
We hear we have smack dab in the middle of the fastest three hours in media.
I mean, two hours are done, over with.
They are histoire, except they live forever in posterity.
