Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I don't know.
Was that Hugo Chavez charming the United Nations or was it Howard Dean?
You know who's going to be jealous of this speech that Hugo Chavez gave, ladies and gentlemen?
Frank Rich and Maureen Down of the New York Times.
There'll be a lot of jealousy among the libs, wishing they had said exactly what Chavez said as powerfully.
They've gotten close.
But no cigar here.
Greetings.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh, Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
And we're here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, rush at EIBNet.com.
Hugo Chavez just concluded about 20 minutes ago his raving lunatic address, the United Nations, and they were charmed.
They gave him a rousing round of applause when he finished.
And they laughed throughout.
He was holding up a book by Noam Chomsky, noted communist sympathizer.
Hell, not as a sympathizer, he's a noted communist.
And he referred to President Bush as El Diablo, the devil.
He shows up on the podium, crossed himself, looked heavenward, put his hands together, and said, the devil was here yesterday.
The place still smells of sulfur.
And I'm thinking, you know, did he read this off of a liberal blog?
Did he get this at the Democrat Underground?
Did he get this at moveon.org?
Did he get this at the Daily Cause sign or whatever it's called?
Because it really, it was very close to what the Libs and the Democrats have been saying about President Bush for three, four years, maybe even longer.
And of course, he comes to our country and threatens us on our soil.
He said one thing, by the way, I agree with, and that is the United Nations needs to be moved out of the United States.
I'm all for that.
He suggested it go to Venezuela down south, as he referred to it.
Even this Madam President, secretary, whoever she is standing behind Chavez, was chuckling, was laughing during the speech when he held up the Noam Chomsky book, when he called Bush the devil.
Hell, the whole place started laughing.
I don't know if our delegation sat there and took it or if they walked out.
There was no camera movement to the audience.
Well, there was.
It signaled out the Venezuelan delegation when he was speaking.
Other elements of the Star Wars bar scene.
But I didn't recall.
I don't notice, didn't notice any focusing on the U.S. delegation.
We have a couple sound bites here.
Female translator, Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan president.
Here's the first of two sound bites.
I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States.
Because their threat is in their own house.
The devil is right at home.
The devil, the devil himself is right in the house.
And the devil came here yesterday.
Yesterday, the devil came here.
Right here.
Right here.
And it smells of sulfur still today.
This table that I am now standing in front of.
Señora, señores.
Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here.
He was talking as if he owned the world.
Comoduino del Mundo.
Truly, as the owner of the world.
I should point out, ladies and gentlemen, that MSNBC did not cover the Chavez speech, perhaps saving the rant for Chris Matthews tonight so that he couldn't be accused of copying anybody.
They did, after it was over, do a little bit of a report on it.
The wire services have yet to record and write the full impact, just as the wire services did not get anywhere near reporting the primary contents of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech last night at the United Nations.
We'll have more on that.
But he was praying.
He actually prayed to God for the delivery of the 12th Imam, which Mahmoud believes will happen in the next two years.
In his Shiite belief, the 12th Imam shows up, and that's the end of the world.
That's how we achieve peace and tranquility.
And he thinks it's going to happen in the next two years.
And he prayed for it last night at the United Nations.
And, of course, he was treated with profound respect by media.
CNN did, as I predicted yesterday, show it side by side of President Bush and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Fox today was their anchorette was appropriately outraged and called Chavez a kook.
But, you know, there's a reason why this stuff happens.
There is a reason why these guys feel emboldened to come to our country, even though the United Nations is technically sovereign territory.
It's still our soil.
It's in New York City.
There's a reason why these guys feel comfortable and even emboldened coming here saying these things.
And I'm not going to pull any punches.
It's because they're just echoing the president's enemies in this country, be they the American left, some members of the Democratic Party, and all of the Democrat left-wing blogosphere.
Many university professors had their sentiments echoed today by Hugo Chavez.
We have one more sound bite, again with a female translator.
I think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's statement made by the President of the United States.
As the spokesman of the presentation of feminism, he came to share his nostrils.
Preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation, and pillage of the peoples of the world.
An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario.
I would even support the title.
The Devil's Rest.
I mean, I'm sorry.
I'm outraged by it, but I can't help but laugh.
Folks, the more people hear about this, all this is going to do is rally people to the president.
And if drive-by media members are silly enough to come out and even placitly endorse this or act as though he has a reason for saying this, if they say, and they will, I mean, if they're out there supporting a movie that depicts the assassination of President Bush, well, why are they going to be upset about this?
But make no mistake about it, folks.
This event today and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last night preceded by the stage being set for them to feel comfortable doing all of this and saying these things by the Democrats in this country, the American left, and their kook blogosphere base.
What was said today by Hugo Chavez is just different words, but the sentiment, we hear it every day.
We hear it every night.
We hear it in the drive-by media.
We hear it at the Toronto Film Festival.
We hear it in a book advocating the, well, not advocating, but explaining how President Bush could be assassinated.
Liberals did not denounce that.
In fact, they recommended it.
They are filled with hate, as you know, they are filled with rage for this president, and they have made no bones about it.
The United Nations General Assembly already arrives with that kind of hate because they are a collection of thugs and dictators and tyrants.
They have been emboldened by the appearance of both Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez.
But believe me, the table was set for this by the so-called loyal opposition in this country, the American left Democrat Party.
By the way, I think I called something correct yesterday.
The newspapers today, New York Times, L.A. Times are out with all this, this compromise between the White House and the dissidents.
Don't call John McCain and his pals dissidents to Natan Sharansky.
Natan Sharansky was in jail because he was a dissident in the Soviet Union.
I resent the use of the term.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham and John Warner are dissidents.
Anyway, they're reported, saw it in the New York Times late last night to the paper today, that the White House has caved and that McCain's going to get his way.
The White House is not caved.
And I will demonstrate this to you with a series of stories today.
If anybody's caving, it's the McCain bunch.
They're getting creamed on Capitol Hill with emails and phone calls.
And as I said yesterday, when that kind of heat approaches McCain, the drive-by media will make it their job to cover for him and to make it look like if anybody's caving, it's the White House because they're going to make sure that it is McCain who is perceived to be getting something out of this.
There's a lot to do on the program today.
We'll take a break now.
Be back.
Roll right on after this.
Hey, did you see that little blurb that Sean Penn is going to play Albert Einstein in a movie?
Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, absolutely true.
And Rosie O'Donnell will be playing Cleopatra.
The same flick.
Greetings, welcome back.
El Rushbeau, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have here on the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
All right, more on Hugo Chavez as the program unfolds, ladies and gentlemen.
And I, you know, mixed emotions about this.
As an American citizen, I'm outraged that this happens.
But there's a reason for it.
As I say, there's a reason the table has been set, the stage set, the paradigm established by the so-called loyal opposition in this country.
The thrust of his meaning is no different than what we hear daily from the drive-by media and the Democrats, the American left in this country.
Words might have been a little bit different, but what's different in saying Bush is Hitler and Bush is El Diablo?
What is different in Hugo Chavez saying, hey, we need a psychologist to analyze Bush and the American left saying he's an insane lunatic and what have you?
It's the same stuff, just with different words, the rage and the hatred.
And Chavez, this is the sickening part.
The sickening part to me is that Chavez comes here, says it with confidence because he believes the vast majority of the American public is going to agree with him because he obviously listens to the U.S. drive-by media in the way they deal with Bush.
He sees the way Ahmad Dinejad treated with great respect all over American television yesterday and last night.
He can contrast that with the way George W. Bush is treated as a suspect, as a guilty suspect being interrogated each and every day by the drive-by media.
There's no doubt he feels that he's in friendly ground, friendly territory, particularly inside the bar there in the Star Wars set.
But let me go back to Ahmadinezad.
His speech last night, first thing I saw was a couple of wire reports, one from the Associated Press.
Iran tells UN nuclear program is peaceful.
And I read the piece, and there's, you know, compared to what Ahmadinejad actually said, they leave it out.
They leave out the main thing that he did, the primary message of his appearance last night.
Yeah, he rips Bush.
Yeah, but they don't mention that he is advocating.
He calls himself an Iran, a nation of peace.
All we want is peace.
We don't threaten anybody.
It's the United States that does that.
They are the state sponsors of Hezbollah, the state sponsors of Syria.
The terrorism in Iraq comes from Iran and al-Qaeda.
And yet the media fawns over this man.
I waited and waited and waited, stayed up extra late last night to get the full translation of what Ahmadinejad said.
And what he said is not reported anywhere.
The main thrust of what he said was not reported.
Here is an example.
This is the, let's see, the Washington Post today.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the General Assembly several hours after Bush.
He accused the United States of rigging the UN to advance its own military and economic dominance and to oppress its weaker adversaries.
In his second such address to the world body, Ahmadinejad charged that U.S. policies throughout the Middle East, including its support for Israel and the occupation of Iraq, have furthered human suffering in the region.
He said the U.S. nuclear program poses a greater threat to international peace and security than Iran's program does.
He dismissed assertions by Bush that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
All our nuclear activities are transparent, peaceful, and under the watchful eyes of the IAEA inspectors, he said, referring to the International Atomic Energy Policy.
AP report, pretty much the same thing.
The Times, all LA Times, New York Times stories, they put in some of the radical claims, but not much.
No press outlet that I have seen has reported what he said at the end of his speech.
Maybe because they're stupid and don't understand it.
But here is what Ahmadinejad said in closing his remarks.
I emphatically declare that today's world more than ever before longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity and above all longs for the perfect, righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace, and brotherhood on the planet.
Oh, Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation.
Bestow upon humanity that thirst for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers, among those who strive for his return and his cause.
Well, in the first place, can you imagine if George W. Bush had gone to the podium of the UN and prayed?
Ahmadinejad offered two or three prayers last night, opened up with, oh, dear Almighty God, bless us and all in this hall.
That close that Ahmadinejad gave is a reference to his belief that the 12th Imam is near.
In his religion, the 12th Imam will show up in Iran someplace.
I forget the name of the place.
And when he does, that's the end of the earth.
The 12th Imam comes and cleanses the earth by getting rid of everybody.
And he believes that it's going to happen in the next two years.
If you doubt that, there was a Washington Post story.
Jackson Deal wrote it not too long ago.
I got this off of Hugh Hewitt's town hall blog.
And the dateline is Qom, Iran.
In a dusty brown village outside the Shiite holy city, a once humble yellow brick mosque is undergoing a furious expansion.
Cranes hover over two soaring concrete minarets and the pointed arches of a vast new enclosure.
The expansion is driven by an apocalyptic vision that Shiite Islam's long-hidden 12th Imam or Mahdi will soon emerge, possibly at the mosque of Jam Karan to inaugurate the end of the world.
The man who provided $20 million to prepare the shine for this moment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has reportedly told his cabinet he expects the Mahdi to arrive within the next two years.
Mehdi Karoubi, a rival cleric, has reported that Ahmadinejad ordered that his government's platform be deposited in a well at Jamkaran, where the faithful leave messages for the hidden Imam.
Such gestures are one reason that some Iranian clerics quietly say they're worried about a leader who's become the foremost public advocate of Iran's nuclear program.
Some of us could understand why you in the West would be concerned, a young Mullah told Jackson Deal of the Washington Post last week.
We too wonder about the intentions of those who are controlling this nuclear work.
None of this made the wires.
None of this made the newspapers.
None of this made the stories at all.
MSNBC on their website gives us a recap of Brian Williams' interview with Ahmadinejad and the headline of this story, Iran's president says Bush pushing for war.
In NBC interview, Ahmadinejad claims U.S. still stuck in Cold War mindset.
It's stunning.
Every foreign leader interviewed by the drive-by media, especially professed and proclaimed enemies.
I mean, Chavez came here today and threatened us on our own soil.
They are given endless respect.
They are treated with decorum and politeness.
In fact, these journalists practically approach them with a little fear.
And yet, when it comes time to interview President Bush, they have a propensity to get rude, intrusive, accusatory, as though Bush is a suspect.
And so Ahmadinejad basically goes to the UN last night to pray for the end of the world.
And if you have any background, you know he wants it to happen in his lifetime during his leadership in Iran.
Nothing gets reported.
The headlines are, Iran tells the UN nuclear program peaceful.
Iran's president says Bush pushing for war.
I found the transcript of the whole speech is much too long to read to you.
But just trust me, whatever you're reading about it, whatever you're seeing on television, doesn't even come close to the import of what Ahmadinejad said last night back right after this.
Thank you.
Thank you.
America's real anchor man.
Going beyond the template of the drive-by media on a daily basis.
And we will get to your phone calls in not too long, a period of time.
800-282-2882.
Let me show you via audio soundblight, the way Ahmadinejad was dealt with last night on CNN.
told you during yesterday's program that when you watched cable news last night after Ahmadinejad made his speech and even before it, that you'd see side-by-side photos, side-by-side video as though the two men are equal in stature around the world, and that we're supposed to give equal weight, equal gravity to what the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran has to say.
And lo and behold, it happened.
Here's a montage of Wolf Blitzer, who was standing by for the great Ahmadinejad for a full hour.
And finally, he appeared.
What a great moment for the drive-by media.
Ahmad Dinejad finally folded up, held up.
They were showing him and they were anticipating his arrival for one hour breathlessly.
Listen.
We're standing by to hear from the president of Iran momentarily.
We're standing by to hear from the Iranian leader.
Stand by.
We're going to be going to his remarks momentarily once he walks up to the podium.
We're standing by to hear directly from Iran's president.
We're standing by for the speech of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
We're standing by to hear from the Iranian president.
The next speaker on the schedule is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
He will be walking up momentarily.
Here he comes right now.
He's just sitting down.
He's not there yet.
He's sitting down.
All right, let's listen in.
Okay, just can you see the excitement was building?
It was like the build-up to the Super Bowl, like a build-up to a presidential debate.
What's he going to say?
What's he going to say?
Will he cream President Bush?
Well, we make news tonight.
Jack Cafferty, the CNN Gadfly political commentator, devoted a portion of his commentary to Bush and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with this.
Ahmadinejad against Bush on the world stage playing this chess game.
I love this thing that's happening between Bush and Ahmadinejad.
This little guy's playing his cards pretty good so far.
Bush got the price's right slot, and this guy gets, you know, some Monday night football time.
Yeah, who saw it?
That's CNN's Jack Cafferty, who used to be at WNBC TV in New York.
Yes, I love this.
I love this thing.
I love what's at this little guy playing his cards right.
Little guy, he's a pip squeak.
He's a third-rate dictator appointed by the mullahs, the Ayatollahs in Iran.
But I'm telling you, folks, this is, I'm just playing you this, not to upset you.
I'm showing you how the drive-by media set the stage for all the hate and the personal attacks against the president of the United States.
Now, in the old days, when Khrushchev showed up, and that's what a lot of people, we haven't seen anything like this since Khrushchev banged his shoe.
Well, I don't know about that.
Yasser Arafat showed up wearing a pistol.
I mean, this is the place up there is the repository for anti-Semitism.
Ladies and gentlemen, the United Nations is.
But when Khrushchev shook that shoe and pounded that shoe, this whole country was outraged.
Other than the pockets of communist sympathizers we have, but they were very minor.
They didn't get a whole lot of adulation in the media back then.
The whole country was outraged.
Today, I don't know.
I don't get any sense.
I mean, I know there's outrage among all of you, but it's patently obvious here that were it not for the Democrat Party, I don't, give me a name, what's different what he said substantively from John Kerry or from Nancy Pelosi or from Harry Reid or from Howard Dean or Richard Durbin or Chuck Schumer.
And of course, those people, not just are their remarks about President Bush, but about conservatives in general.
So these leaders, Chavez Ahmadinejad, as I'm sure patrons of the drive-by media in their countries, they watch.
What do they watch?
CNN, CNN International, BBC, BBC World Service.
What do they read?
Reuters and AP, probably get the New York Times.
As I say, you know, there's a couple of people really jealous today of Chavez, and that's Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd of the New York Times.
And as I said, MSNBC never even covered this thing because they can't let Chavez come the star of the network.
That's Chris Matthews.
They got to let him have this rant.
And if they put Chavez on there, it'll be Matthews that's apparently copying.
So they had to cover it.
They're not even dealing with it much.
Now, Chavez got a press conference coming up in about five or six minutes.
He's going to meet with reporters.
That'll be interesting, too.
And I can predict some of the questions that we're going to get.
Why do you think he's the devil?
Why do you think he needs psychiatric help?
Why do you think?
Did you really mean it?
Giving him the chance to say it again.
There will be no condemnation.
There will be no criticism.
Just journalistic curiosity.
And it'll be full of laughs and yucks.
Chavez will be laughing.
He'll be cracking jokes about all this.
The press will be laughing along with him.
Mark my words.
But there's an upshot to this, or rather an upside.
Whereas back in the 50s when Khrushchev was banging the chair with his shoe, everybody just united.
And we're not going to put up with this.
Not about our country, not about our children and grandchildren, not from this bloated bigot from the Soviet Union, this bald-headed communist thug.
I'm predicting that as this keeps up, and this is probably, ladies and gentlemen, you know, in the old days, in the old days, had this happened, the Democrats would have said, hey, hey, hey, you shut up, Chavez, and you shut up, Ahmadinejad.
Nobody criticizes our president like this.
We're not going to put up.
That would be the old days.
They might have said under their breath, that's for us to do.
We can criticize our own.
You've heard the old saw.
You got in an argument, if you ever got a discussion with somebody ripping their own family members and you join in and say, yeah, your sister is sort of stupid.
Hey, you can say it's a family member, but outside the family, somebody cannot say it.
The family closes ranks no matter how crazy they are.
And I'm going to allow outside external criticism.
In this case, I'm going to wait to see the denunciation of Hugo Chavez.
If it comes, it should have come already.
Democrats, everybody should have gone to the microphones, rushed to the microphones.
We are not putting up, but they aren't because they know that their base loved what Chavez said and they don't want to run afoul of their base.
My point, ladies and gentlemen, is that this is only going to rally even more Americans to the support and to the side of President Bush, which I think it's been doing for quite a while anyway.
Richard Holbrook last night was brought on CNN after the speech by Ahmadinejad and said this.
President Bush's speech was pretty good as speeches go.
But the theater here is remarkable.
The world's leading anti-Semite has been elevated to a mano-amano on the world stage.
I don't understand why President Bush would have allowed himself to be scheduled on the same day as Ahmadijad, a tiny pip squeak leader and an anti-Semite of the worst order, the worst since Hitler in some ways, is being given this co-equal status.
Well, isn't that what people like you have sought?
Isn't that what you have assured us?
Mr. Holbrook, it's people like you and Rand Beers and John Kerry and all the others who have been saying the U.N. is the repository of greatness, that the Bush administration ignores the U.N., ignores our allies.
You have said, along with your allies, that Bush has ruined the image of the United States throughout the world.
This whole charade of last night today makes that assertion preposterous, preposterous, that we somehow, George W. Bush, damaged the United States image.
If anybody's, you guys keep harping on torture.
You keep harping on all the things that went on at Club Gipo and Abu Graham.
What do you expect people like Ahmadinejad and Chavez to do?
You've given them the guidepost.
You've shined the light on the highway.
You've showed them the road signs.
You gave them the map to show them where to go.
They've come and they're embracing the United Nations as the greatest place on earth.
Although it needs to be reformed, they both think because they don't have votes on the Security Council or vetoes.
But nevertheless, come on.
You guys can't have it both ways.
It's Bush's fault.
It's Bush's fault that Ahmadinejad's at the United Nations on the same day.
Can you imagine, Mr. Holbrook, if Bush had once said, I am not showing up on the same day Ahmadinejad does, you know what the stories would be then?
And you know who'd be leveling the charge?
People like you.
Bush is a coward.
Bush is afraid.
Bush doesn't have the guts to meet a world leader.
Bush is running scared.
You people want it both ways.
You have so much hate and vitriol for this president, and you're going to have blood on your hands because you people have led us to this.
You have created the atmosphere.
You have set the table.
You have created the circumstances which make these despot thug murdering dictators feel comfortable and confident and at home in the United States, in the United Nations, advocating the defeat of this country, insulting this country, insulting the president of the United States.
And they laugh while they do it.
And your only response is to wonder why Bush showed up on the same day and let Ahmadinejad's so-called pip squeak appear equal.
It didn't even require that.
Had Ahmadinejad's speech been delayed a day, the drive-by media would have spared no trouble, no expense in portraying them as both equal anyway.
This is going to come back and bite you people because it is obvious to casual observers that you have lost your faith and your love for the greatness that is America.
You are troubled by what you think is a declining image of the United States, and you're pointing fingers of blame at George W. Bush for causing it.
And so when critics who basically echo your sentiments using different words come along, you are hard-pressed to disagree with them.
Because it's been your position all along.
Quick time out.
Back after this.
I know these leftists like every square inch of my glorious naked body.
So the Hugo Chavez press conference just started.
The first question was somebody from the United Nations press organization and welcomed him, thanked him for his speech.
Chavez smiled and started laughing.
And the first question to Hugo Chavez, you mentioned four reforms today of the United Nations.
Do you have any plans to implement those reforms given the ability of the United States to block them?
I'm sure he's going to get a question about El Diablo and sulfur and so forth, but exact, and they're laughing and yucking it up and Chavez is having a great time and it's not going to be a confrontational press.
He started off by saying it's so wonderful to see so many familiar faces here speaking to the assembled press corps.
So, you know, I think it's time the president can't do this.
Obviously, the White House can't do this.
But the RNC maybe could.
I think it's time to develop television ads, campaign ads, that show Democrats trashing President Bush and then Shugo Chavez calling him El Diablo.
There's not much difference.
You could tagline, not much difference between the socialist dictators of the world and these Democrats of the United States today.
And just if the drive-by media wants to do it side-by-side of Ahmadinejad and Chavez and Bush, then let's do it side by side of these guys and Democrats, particularly Chavez and what he said today.
There's an interesting background piece in the Daily Mail in the UK today, headline, Why This Man Should Give Us All Nightmares.
It's a great piece with background on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
So who is this hidden Imam?
He was a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, who at the age of five disappeared down a well around A.D. 940.
That's who the 12th Imam is, five years old.
The Ahmadinejad administration basically is going to blow up the world to get the 12th Imam out of the well.
This is also kind of crazy.
When I was in Tehran, this is the article written by Ann Leslie.
When I was in Tehran, Ahmadinejad was its mayor, and an Iranian friend with links to the city council told me he's instructed the council to build a grand avenue to prepare for the Mahdi's return.
Fell down a well at age five, A.D. 940.
In their religion, he's the 12th Imam, shows up for the apocalypse, essentially.
And Moud Ahmadinejad is firmly convinced it will happen in his lifetime, and that's why the ongoing concern about his desire to develop nuclear weapons, which he, of course, denied at the United Nations yesterday.
Go to the phones, Mike, in Philadelphia.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
First time, long time, sir.
Thank you, sir.
The pregnant silence, if you will, that we're hearing from the left, they've given birth, I mean, to their Frankensteins.
It seems like the monster is at the gate, and they cannot even begin to open up their print or their mouths to explain what's been going on the past couple days, because they can see from the top of the castle.
I mean, I hate metaphors, but I'm telling you, the villagers are starting to stoke up their torches and their pitchforks.
And if they actually started to explain and avoid what's going on, they've created these things.
They, as you mentioned, have given them the gall, the balls, excuse me, to do this, to come to our front porch, sit down, and just like trash my family.
And if they start reiterating this and showing this and making it public, quote unquote, you know, President Bush will go from 40 to mid-40s to 52 to 55 to 60.
They can't do it.
They can't now promote.
You know, you may have a point here because even today, folks, and we're coming up here on 12 hours, 15, 18 hours after Ahmadinejad's speech, the full impact and import of what he said has yet to be reported.
You will not find it in a newspaper.
You will not find how he closed his speech with a prayer.
You will not find a reference to the other prayers.
You will not find the references to God Almighty.
You will not find any of the language about the Palestinians and the Israelis.
He referred to Israel as being unjust and illegitimate.
Never used the word, by the way, never used the word Israel.
But it was clear that he's talking about the oppression of the Palestinians.
A population was placed amidst their midst who had no business being there, had never been there.
It's a constant rant.
I've got a Der Spiegel interview with Ahmad Dinijan.
I'm going to see if I can find this because it is full of who the man really is.
And it's all being totally ignored.
And your point is relevant in the sense that the Democrats, their willing accomplices in the drive-by media, have been so busy portraying George W. Bush as the great enemy of the world.
George W. Bush is the man creating terrorists that they might think they do have to soft-sell this guy, Anne Chavez.
Maybe not for the reasons that you think.
I don't think for a moment they think that they're responsible for these guys.
No, they would never, ever admit that.
In fact, if they hear me say that, they're going to be righteously indignant and angry, insulted, outraged, and all of that.
