Time Text
If you are just joining us, you are in the midst of a Hall of Fame broadcast, the Rush Limbaugh program on Friday, so let's keep it rolling.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And when we get to the phones, you determine what we talk about.
The basic rules change.
On Open Line Friday, it's phone numbers 800-282-2882.
The email address rush at EIB net.com who spent the first hour obliterating the New York Times and his phony, bogus, damaging story.
Bush secretly lifted some limits on spying in U.S. after 9-11.
He didn't secretly do anything.
Members of Congress knew about it.
The secret court that deals with terrorists and national security issues knew about it, as did the judge of this court.
We learned that the writer of this story, James Arisen, has a book coming out in ten days.
And this bogus, sorry excuse for a story, nothing more than propaganda.
The New York Times is just a chapter or the subject of a chapter in his book that comes out in ten days.
The book published by Simon and Schuster, the book edited by the same editor who edited Richard Clark.
Simon and Schuster owned by Viacom.
Viacom also owns CBS.
So we can expect Ryzen to show up on 60 minutes in a short period of time to delve even deeper.
We're told in the story that the New York Times was asked by the White House to delay the story.
They didn't do any such thing.
Well, they might have.
And the Times writer says I sat on this story for a year.
Sat on it because it's part of his book.
Why release it today?
Because they want to cover up every shred of good news about what's happening in Iraq.
There is an outrageous effort in this country.
An ongoing outrageous effort to destroy our ability to wage war against this enemy, folks.
Even now, the Patriot Act has gone down to defeat.
Sixteen key provisions will expire on December 31st.
The media today, the media to prove my point, is reporting this stuff as defeats for Bush.
Really?
Really?
I think that's exactly what that means or they mean, but is that really what's happened here?
I thought national security was intended to protect us.
The American people.
These jarhead fools, these ignoramuses, these people in the media who do not possibly think.
View everything through the prism of politics.
These are setbacks for us, victories for the enemy, setbacks for President Bush.
Well, every setback for President Bush and the war on terror is a victory for the enemy.
And I'm telling you, folks, Bush's domestic enemies, the media and the left in this country, are already invested in Bush's defeat.
That means they're invested in all of our defeat.
We spent the first hour elaborating great detail on all that.
If you missed it, shame shame, but it'll be up at RushLimbaugh.com later this afternoon for you to review by transcript and uh the audio.
And if you are a subscriber, of course, you'll get the podcast, which is sent down within an hour, hour and a half uh after the program.
And this week we started our video podcasts, and those are downloaded at the same time that the audio podcasts of today's show are downloaded.
And the uh the video podcast is simply a 90-second update, the morning update that runs the next day.
I have to tell you I am having more fun with these, and they are cool.
And you you don't have to, by the way, have the uh media center software and the automatic download to watch these.
If you are a subscriber at Rush Limbaugh.com, these are free.
There's no charge, and you can watch it on the website.
You can just watch it as a as a as a streaming download uh well, not a download, but you can watch it as streaming video uh if you don't want to download it, if you don't have a video iPod.
But uh these these things are a hoot.
We started them on Wednesday, supposed to start them on Monday, But I was under the weather.
But now I'm on top of the weather.
I'm back and everything's running and it's up and hunky door.
And our our our adopt a soldier program rolls right on.
That is still happening, and we continually request media or military members and their families to sign up for the Adopt a Soldier Program.
This is so the American people can adequately in some small way show their appreciation for what you are doing, and the Adopt a Soldier Program will make you a complimentary one-year subscriber at Rushlinball.com and the Limbaugh Letter.
All right.
I may not get them both in before the break.
One is the 16 provisions of the Patriot Act that go by the wayside since the Patriot Act was it technically wasn't voted down.
There was a filibuster attempt.
Had a cloture vote to try to kill a filibuster.
They couldn't get 60, they got 52, so we're not going to vote on the Patriot Act, the same thing as voting against it.
A lot of really yellow-bellied Republicans joined this effort.
Uh, aided in no small part by this bogus New York Times story today.
Schumer and Durbin cited this story in the New York Times about the NSA spying on Americans as a reason.
They couldn't vote for this anymore.
And we'll look at Max Boots' definition of uh torture, uh McCain's definition of torture as spelled out for us by Max Boot.
He's a columnist at the Los Angeles Times.
But here, let me get started with the Patriot Act, just so you know what's up speed.
Sixteen provisions of the USA Patriot Act expire December 31st now.
And uh just give you some of them.
Section 203B permits the sharing of grand jury information that involves foreign intelligence or counterintelligence with federal law enforcement intelligence, protective immigration, national defense, or national security officials.
In other words, that is a part of the Patriot Act that goes away.
Does that sound familiar?
You know what?
You know what just gets re-erected?
The Gorelic Wall.
The same thing that prevented us from being able to connect the dots prior to 9-11 goes back into effect on December 31st.
Or January 1st.
Because that provision's dead.
The provision that permits the sharing of grand jury information that involves foreign intelligence or counterintelligence with federal law enforcement, federal intelligence, protective immigration, national defense, or national security officials.
That's gone.
So now anything learned by one agency can't be shared with another.
Thanks to the Gorelic Wall.
It's back.
Section 206 allows federal officials to issue roving John Doe wiretaps for spy and anti-terrorism investigation.
That's gone.
Section 207 increases the amount of time that federal officials may watch people they suspect are spies or terrorists.
That's gone.
Section 209 permits the seizure of voicemail messages under a warrant.
That's gone.
Section 212 permits Internet service providers and other electronic communications and remote computing service providers to hand over records and emails to federal officials in emergency situations.
That's gone.
Section 215 authorizes federal officials to obtain tangible items like business records, including those from libraries and bookstores for foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigation.
That is gone.
Section 217 makes it lawful to intercept the wire or electronic communication of a computer hacker or intruder in certain circumstances.
Computer hackers will now be once again protected.
Because that provision is gone.
Section 220 provides for nationwide service, nationwide service of search warrants for electronic evidence.
That's gone.
Section 225, amends FISA.
This is the court to prohibit lawsuits against people or companies that provide information to federal officials for a terrorism investigation.
That's gone.
So the Patriot Act has essentially been killed, and we're going to go back to the same intel conditions that existed prior to 9-11.
Thanks to the Democrats in the Senate and a few SAP Republicans.
And we're taking names and we know who they are.
And if any of these people think that this is the kind of thing that's going to get them re-elected, another thing coming.
Back after this.
Here's an interesting little tidbit from Bob Novak today.
Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, well-known Democrat political hack prosecutor, has subpoenaed two officials at the Free Enterprise Fund.
That's a conservative group.
In connection with ads that this group has run criticizing him, Ronnie Earl, for his indictment of Tom Delay.
The ads attacked Earl, who has a history of indicting his political enemies in both parties.
The ad compared him to an attack dog.
The draft subpoena served to the organization demands that the Free Enterprise Fund, Communications Director Todd Schorl, and Executive Director O'Brien Murray testify in Texas at delay's change of venue hearing on December 27th, the Tuesday after Christmas.
In the subpoena, Ronnie Earl demands any and all documentation regarding the advertisements that have been produced or paid for by the Free Enterprise Fund, including any and all information regarding media buys by the Free Enterprise Fund for those advertisements that have run in Austin, Texas, and it may affect whether Thomas Dale DeLay may receive a fair trial in Travis County, Texas.
I thought free speech was protected too, but not when Democrats get hold of it.
You can say whatever you want if they want to hear it.
If Democrats don't want to hear it, then or if McCain doesn't want to hear it, then we're going to abridge people's free speech rights.
So Ronnie Earl, subpoenaing a conservative group that has run some TV ads in Austin, Texas, calls it calling him an attack dog.
Keep it up, Ronnie, and all of you Democrats.
I urge you, I I'm begging you, keep this up.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
They're saying careful rush.
Careful.
Hey, I've got my two years under the belt.
What else can they do to me?
I mean, keep keep coming.
I I think I think the more that they do this, uh, the more they expose themselves.
Let's go to um one more thing here, and we'll get to your phone calls.
Max Boot.
You have you have to hear this.
U.S. is torturing thousands of American citizens.
The U.S. military is engaged in the systematic torture of hundreds of thousands of American citizens according to new standards established by the McCain Amendment, the Al-Qaeda Bill of Rights, which forbids cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of terrorist detainees.
LA Times columnist Max Boot, this is a newsmax report, by the way, blew the lid off the outrageous torture scandal earlier this week, reporting there are major facilities all over the country where thousands of men and women who have not committed any crime are held for prolonged periods while subjected to physical and psychological coercion that violates every tenant of the Geneva Convention.
Max Boot details the horrific torture techniques carried out on these unsuspecting Americans.
They are routinely made to stand for long periods in uncomfortable positions.
They are made to walk for hours while wearing heavy loads on their backs.
They are bullied by martinets who get in their faces and yell insults at them.
They are hit and often knocked down with clubs known as pugil sticks.
They are denied sleep for more than a day at a time.
They are forced to inhale tear gas.
They are prevented from seeing friends or family.
Some are traumatized by this treatment, and a few even die, notes Max Boot.
Worse still, the systematic torture of Americans appears to have been sanctioned at the highest levels of the White House.
Yet the abuse continues without a peep of protest from Senator McCain and his Democratic allies, like Senator Durbin, who described the Nazi-like interrogation techniques employed on terrorists held in Guantanamo Bay.
Where is this torture in America happening?
Where are the locations of these U.S.-based Abu Grabs?
They are at Paris Island, South Carolina, at Camp Pendleton, California, at Fort Benning, Georgia, at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and other bases where the Army and Marines train recruits.
We trust that Senator McCain will launch an investigation into the brutal techniques employed by U.S. military trainers as soon as he's finished tying the hands of America's military interrogators in the Al Qaeda Bill of Rights.
Everything Max Boot describes here.
Routinely made to stand for long periods, uncomfortable positions, made to walk for hours while wearing heavy loads on their backs.
These things are what McCain's amendment, the Al Qaeda Bill of Rights considers cruel and inhumane a treatment.
For this kind of behavior, American soldiers and interrogators could end up on trial.
And they could be found guilty of torture.
And yet military recruits undergo such behavior and treatment during training.
Old buddy Scott Ott at uh Scrappleface.com, a great parody site.
McCain Bush anti-torture deal allows use of C-SPAN.
The White House has reportedly agreed to support Senator McCain's anti-torture legislation after the former POW added an amendment allowing the U.S. agents to interrogate suspected terrorists using a controversial technique involving prolonged exposure to C-span.
A spokesman for Human Rights Watch immediately attacked the deal as a complete capitulation to the Bush administration's crusade of terror against unjustly imprisoned freedom fighters.
In a hastily called news conference, the unnamed human rights watch source said if you're going to allow agents to use C-SPAN or even the threat of C-SPAN, you might as well go back to waterboarding or raking fingernails across the blackboard.
Senator McCain defended the concession, saying that congressional debates on C-SPAN are no worse than the incessant drone of mosquitoes that I heard throughout my days as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
In other words, torture will now include being forced to watch congressional and senate debates on C-SPAN.
All right, to the phones.
You've been waiting patiently.
Go to Las Vegas.
Bob, you're up first.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you, Rush.
And thank you for bringing this story and tell taking it apart.
My comment is if any president after 9-11 didn't authorize wiretapping and quote spying in this country, they would have been neg negligent and should have been removed from office.
I mean, what are these people kidding us?
We are attacked.
The enemy is inside the country.
I mean, you know that, and you and you you we all know that.
We haven't even talked about angel danger in the effort to suppress that.
We haven't even gotten to that yet today.
You know, you you you you you heard everything right.
There is that there is an outrageous attempt to sabotage this nation's attempt, this administration's attempt to wage war against this enemy.
It's being led by the Democrats and the New York Times.
Well, you know, our inspector, I'm online right now.
He's already gonna have make it a very high priority and hold hearings on this.
Are you crazy, Mr. Senator Spectre?
Yes.
You should be backing the president up and state what I stated.
It would have been a removable offense not to do that.
And let me state.
This is who they are.
Of non-citizens living in this country.
So when they write those things, they're not just spying on Americans, uh I hate to say that, doing it on American citizens, they're doing on all the non-citizens also.
Rush, do you know that the New York's gonna be crippled by a uh a strike soon?
A transit strike.
The head of that union, the TWU, is not another.
They're not gonna I I don't think that strike's gonna happen.
A union's already caved.
Here you have the liberal Mecca of this country.
The absolute capital of liberalism, and what did they tell a union to do?
Union wants more money.
I thought liberals thought unions should get more money.
Anytime Walmart's not paying unions enough money, look what happens.
We get polls from Zogby.
Talk about a fraudulent poll.
What if 62% of the American people think Walmart's bad for America?
Yeah, because they don't pay enough union wage, they're not a union at all.
So now here we have New York City and the poor union people.
You know what it takes to live in New York City, folks?
I do.
You know what it takes to live there?
These people wanted a measly 24% raise to raise their children to be able to buy milk at the grocery store instead of dog food, and the city told them to take a hike.
New York liberals, to their big supporters and their buddies, the unions, pss on you.
There isn't gonna be any strike in it.
There's this limited little strike road.
A couple bus lines have been shut down.
I wish there would be a strike.
Hell with it.
But there's not going to be a strike.
We all know who runs who in this party.
And if the unions think they're the ones running a show, they have another thing coming.
Um look, Bob, I I appreciate the uh appreciate the phone call.
I have to take a brief time out here, and I don't have time to get into another phone call or even another uh big time news story because of the constraints of time.
We are scheduled to have Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld on the program for ten minutes today at 233.
Uh his subject obviously very fluid and flexible, and I guess it could always change.
This has been set up since yesterday.
We are looking forward to that as you can well imagine.
We'll be back and continue with you right after this.
Quick snertly, you know the name of this one.
Nope.
Nope, nope, nope.
Didn't think you knew it.
Los Peses in El Rio.
The fish in the river.
I can't get over this.
I'm still watching the media, and the media keeps reporting all this stuff today, this national security story, this bogus, fraudulent New York Times story today as a defeat for Bush and the Patriot Act.
They keep reporting the Patriot Act as a defeat for Bush.
Really?
Stop and think a moment, folks.
I thought national security was intended to protect us.
Are we to believe that Bush advocated for the Patriot Act because he personally wants to spy on you to put you in jail?
And now Bush has been stopped?
And so we can all breathe easily now.
Is that how we're supposed to interpret this?
These idiots, these few the fools view virtually everything through the prism of politics.
They are setbacks for us.
They are victories for the enemy.
We are the they're just happy as they can be about this.
But it's not just a defeat for Bush.
And try this.
Remember that Air Force Reserve uh uh lieutenant colonel accused of defacing cars that had pro-Bush bumper stickers on them.
Well, a military said of data they're gonna r they're gonna discharge the guy.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexis Fecto.
That's F E C T E A U. So I assume I'm pronouncing that fairly closely.
Alexis Fecto, a pilot with 500 combat hours in the first Persian Gulf War and the Balkans, is charged with criminal mischief for allegedly using paint stripper to write a profanity about Bush in an 18-inch high letters on cars at the Denver International Airport.
Now, this is something about the story I didn't know.
The cars had bumper stickers supporting President Bush and me.
The cars had uh bumper stickers supporting President Bush and it says here, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Jim Miller, a spokesman for the Air Force Reserve Command at Robins Airbase and uh Air Force Base in Georgia, said the command plans to begin the process of giving Fecto an administrative discharge.
He said that Fecto does not face any military punishment.
Neither Fecto nor his lawyer Patrick Mulligan immediately return calls.
Mulligan has said that Fecto would uh would plead innocent.
He's charged with 13 counts of criminal mischief, five of them felonies, because the damage to five vehicles was estimated more than five hundred dollars each.
Police said the vehicles were damaged between January and July, and a video camera recorded facto damaging a vehicle.
Well, I didn't know my bumper stickers on these cars.
It sort of makes me proud.
Who's next on this pro?
Christine in OHI, California.
Welcome to Open Line Friday.
Thank you, Rush.
I appreciate this opportunity.
Listen, um, I'm sorry you're a little upset today.
I can hear you are, but I'm thankful that you're taking a stand on this because I'm pretty outraged about our supposedly my civil liberties are being protected by um voting out the Patriot Act, and yet I hear nothing about the eminent domain a law that was uh passed by the Supreme Court that is actually not in theory, because nobody is, you know, not taking me away in the dead of night.
But people are having their homes taken away legally, and I don't hear anything about it in the press.
I don't hear any outrage from from the Senate um or the House.
I I don't hear press reporting about it, and I do know why, because we know the judges who voted for it and those who wrote the scathing dissents.
Well, again, I have this coup a couple observations uh uh for you, Christine.
Number one, I am fascinated by the way you described Supreme Court action.
Did you catch this, folks?
Did you catch this?
If this doesn't illustrate the absolute private, and there's not Christie isn't, I'm not being critical.
Christine said the law passed by the Supreme Court allowing this.
That's exactly the problem.
The people of this country think the Supreme Court passes laws because they do.
The Supreme Court invents law.
They are supposed to interpret it and barely at that.
They invent law.
It's called judicial activism.
Now, as far as the eminent domain is concerned, you may not be hearing a whole lot about it from Congress, but it people are talking about this all over the place.
It's right here where I live.
If you go literally less uh less than a mile as the crow flies from where I live, if I wanted to drive to this place, it would take me 45 minutes.
But literally a mile north of where I live is a place called Riviera Beach.
Riviera Beach, predominantly black, it's very poor.
And a mayor of Riviera Beach kicking everybody out.
He says it's good for them.
Getting them out of dilapidated area, getting them out of a rundown slum, getting them out of a horrific situation.
You're going to bring in a bunch of developers to build marinas and condos and so forth for the express purpose.
Raise raising the tax base.
Six thousand people are gonna be kicked out of their homes.
Six thousand people, one mile from where I live.
Now, the gang at Fox, Hannity particularly, Hannity's been all over this.
Hannity has come down and done his television show talking about this, and you ought to see the local newspaper, local newspapers ragging on Hannity.
It's the local newspapers ragging on Fox for calling attention to this.
The mayor, this is 6,000 mostly poor black people.
They're just gonna be thrown out of their homes.
It's all over the place out there, Christine.
Well, I know it's beachfront.
It's beachfront.
This isn't and poor people are not supposed to live on a beach.
Poor people just aren't allowed to live on the beach.
That's uh not not in Florida anyway.
I mean, poor people live on the beach.
Where can poor people live on the beach?
Somalia.
But uh but but but not here.
And and so it it's all over the place, uh, Christine.
I people are fit to be tied over it, and I don't I don't blame you for being uh members of Congress aren't doing a whole lot about it.
Uh you're right, and people should be outraged over that.
Dan in Grand Rapids, Michigan, your next.
Welcome to the program.
Oh, thanks, m uh, Mr. Limbaugh.
What an honor.
This is such a thrill.
Uh first of all, Merry Christmas and entrepreneur uh dittoes to you.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, you bet.
Um hey, I just was I wanted to comment from you based on uh yesterday's turnout on the election.
Uh I turned in and was watching the news shows, and to me I thought I'd expect uh some excitement on uh from the turnout, but instead the excitement for the large turnout from the Sudanese captured the liberals' attention.
It seemed to me as if they're almost rooting for them to uprise and uh uh take over the government.
And I just thought I'd give you a call and see what your thoughts were.
Uh well, I think the uh yeah, I I I can see why you would think that.
Uh uh that's I I I think the Libs are in a state of shock, actually, and I think they're trying to cover all this up yet.
Yeah, they might they they might have a uh desire to support what they would consider to be the most rebellious and opposed element to the democratization of the uh of uh of the country, but bottom line is it's in process and uh it it's looking good.
I I think real story today is the effort on the part of the American left and the media to cover up that good news with this Absolutely fraudulent, bogus, irresponsible story in the New York Times today.
If you just I have to go through some of this real quickly again, folks, because it just I can't sit still with this.
In the first place, it is a story by James Ryzen.
He's got a book coming out in ten days.
And a book contains this story's subject as a chapter.
He claims in the story that the New York that the uh uh administration asked him to sit on this for a while and save it.
And he claims he'd been sitting on it for a year.
But he can't wait anymore.
Why can't it?
Because he's got his book coming out.
The book is edited by Richard Clark's editor.
It's being published by Steinman und Schuster.
Owned by Viacom, CBS is owned by Viacom, so up next will be a 60 minutes appearance.
The headline is bogus.
The headline's fraudulent.
Bush secretly lifted some limits on spying in the U.S. after 9-11.
And if you read the whole story, there was nothing secret about it.
Jay Rockefeller knew.
Congressional leaders knew.
Somebody leaked this.
We need to build a new prison.
And we need Patrick Fitzgerald to expand his plame investigation to get the genuine damaging leakers who are leaking this stuff to the Times, the stuff to the Washington Post about these secret prisons, because there is an outrageous ongoing effort.
Sabotage this administration and this country's effort at waging war against this enemy.
Get this lead.
Months after the September 11th attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Aid.
No such thing happened.
No such thing happened.
A lot of people knew about it.
The FISA court, the FISA court judge.
The Foreign Intelligence Services Administration court is what FISA is.
That judge knew about it.
A lot of members of Congress, there's a there's a uh uh a sentence in this uh in this story that that uh that talks about the the uh uh uh references the uh uh congressional members that knew this that knew this thing was there's nothing secret about it.
The whole thing is nothing more than an attempt to cover up what the good news coming out of Iraq is, and it was published today for that reason and also helped kill the Patriot Act today.
We need to build another prison, we need to put these leakers in it, we need to find out who they are, and I don't care where they come from.
I don't care if they come from Congress, I don't care if they're Republicans, Democrats, I don't care if they come from state, CIA, or this administration.
Whoever the hell's doing this is trying to undermine our effort to win this war and even wage war against this enemy.
I mean that stupid, silly, infantile, egomaniacal McCain and that Al-Qaeda Bill of Rights, which is gonna handcuff our ability to glean information.
I'm gonna tell you, folks, we get hit again.
We've to we're taking names here.
We know who voted against the authorization of the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, and and if the people think they're doing this uh is gonna launch their careers to great new political heights, have another thing coming.
But the New York Times is not in charge of national security.
And there are leakers everywhere in this government that are giving them that power, and then they run bogus stories like this that are totally misleading, which are nothing more than an attempt to cover up good news and promote a book which will get even more coverage to talk about how Bush is secret, and then the media portrays all this as a bad day for Bush.
Why this is Bush has been delivered a setback today, really.
Bush has been delivered a setback like Bush started the Patriot Act, and the whole purpose of the Patriot Act was so George W. Bush could spy on you because George Bush doesn't like you, and George Bush thinks you're the enemy, and George Bush wants to make sure that you can't send emails and make phone calls to your friends, and he's gonna find out who you are, and George Bush is going to put you in jail, and George Bush is going to send you to Abu Ghrab, and George Bush is going to authorize you to be tortured.
Is that what we're to believe?
No.
This isn't a setback for Bush, it's a setback for the country.
It's a setback for us.
It's a setback for national security.
It's like I told some people at dinner on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving.
I am afraid, not on the part of the American people.
I'm afraid we're going to need to get hit 9-11 style, two or three more times before a bunch of panty waste invested in U.S. defeat liberals get it.
And even then I have my doubts.
They'll continue to blame us for it.
Bush, some other secret thing really made Osama mad.
Bush probably sent off a secret note to Wasama saying, I'm going to kill your goat and pour the blood on you.
And New York Times will have that story out.
That will really incense Osama, and we get hit again.
It's all Wheeler B. Bush's for.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
You know, I got so I've got some audio sound bites on this New York Times story, and I I'm tempted to share them with you, and they got the torture stuff here.
Uh oh, the president and Tom Delight.
Folks.
This is hilarious.
This this the media is outraged that Bush would dare compromise.
The outcome of a fair trial by proclaiming in advance of the evidence that Tom DeLay is innocent.
Oh, they can't.
Of course, of course, we're supposed to forget that during Monica, that during Paula, that during Kathleen, that during impeachment, every damn Democrat liberal in the world was running around proclaiming Bill Clinton's innocence and how he didn't lie.
And of course, that wasn't compromising the outcome of anything.
Sometimes I am telling you, and I'm I detest these people.
I detest, and that is why I have to get away from this sometimes.
I detest these people.
I literally detest them.
I detest their ignorance.
I detest their lying, I detest their duplicity, I detest their arrogance, I detest their superiority, I detest them.
And now this hack, Ronnie Earl's out there issuing subpoenas to a group that ran some TV ads, attacking him in in Travis County, Texas.
Called him an attack dog.
So Ronnie, or what is this?
The Soviet Union?
This is Stalinist.
So Ronnie Earl's going out is subpoenaing enemies of the state.
Michael in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
Congratulations for getting through.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Thank you, Rush.
Uh uh, I'm honored to be the one to extend you megadiddos from a virtual cesspool of liberalism here in the People's Republic of not in the movement.
Feel sorry for you for living there.
Um if you look at the list of candidates, I think the people are there simply mostly because of the positions that they hold and not necessarily anything they've accomplished.
So it's a slam dunk.
The Iraqi people who've gone to the polls en masse uh deserve to get it.
And if they don't put a big blue finger on the cover of Time magazine for that honor, there ought to be a good thing.
You've been in Massachusetts too long.
You actually think that's gonna happen.
The Time magazine person of the year, the Iraqi voter.
As far as the Lib media is concerned, these are the biggest dupes on earth.
These are bigger dupes than the people in the red states in this country.
They've actually voted for their own freedom.
We can't have that.
Uh I don't know who the Time Magazine person of the year is, and you know what else?
I don't give Diddly Squat.
You could put the molecule that I care about the Time magazine person of the year in a toilet and flush it.
I will make you a bet that whoever Time magazine was planning on making its man of the year has just been broomed.
Mother Nature, I don't care who it was.
Mark my words, it will be Senator McCain.
For the Al-Qaeda Bill of Rights.
