Time Text
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
We are here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882, and the email address is Rush at EIB net.com.
Well, we had a couple more hangings over there in uh Baghdad.
Saddam's half-brother, uh Barzan Ibrahim Al Takreeti.
You know, Saddam's actual name ended with Al Takredi, too.
It just means they're from Tekrit.
Uh they hang the guy, and apparently somebody goofed up there, the uh the hangman, and he was decapitated.
And they've shown reporters video of this.
The other guy uh was hanged properly, both dead, but one lost his head.
Saddam's half brother lost his head.
And of course, there's worldwide outrage over this.
You read the story, though, you find out that this guy Barzon Ibrahim Altakre carried out Saddam and other orders to put uh prisoners in wood chippers and so forth.
The thing that amazes me about this, I have to be honest.
I can't believe the Supreme Court's putting up with this.
I can't believe the Supreme Court hasn't put a stop to these executions.
Uh these hangings, especially are going bad.
They're they're they're humiliating to the uh the uh the victims uh we haven't heard a word from John Paul Stevens about this.
We haven't heard a word from Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg or um or uh Mr. Foreign Law himself, Stephen Breyer.
What good are they?
By the way, John Edwards, the Breck girl, very courageous, lots of guts, went into New York yesterday to slam Hillary while she's in Iraq.
By the way, uh there was a sighting of a Sherman tank in uh in Iraq.
It wasn't, it was Hillary wearing body armor.
People didn't think we had any Sherman tanks uh deployed in uh in Iraq.
They saw them.
Whoa, what is have you seen the video of uh of Hillary State talking to uh Maliki?
Laughing it up like a schoolgirl.
Uh whatever they're talking about, don't know, but you know that cackle that she has.
Uh we named that cackle.
What is it?
The uh Dawn's upset at my Hillary Sherman tank remark.
Don, I'm sorry.
I'm I'm I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have said that.
You know, I I need to move to the center on these kinds.
I shouldn't have said, you're right.
Dawn's right.
I I shouldn't I shouldn't have said that.
When do we get married, Dawn?
Again, 800-282.
Slap me upside the face.
800-282-2882.
Okay, listen to this.
In a recent CERSA Washington Post uh today, and a recent survey of college students on U.S. civic literacy, more than 81% college students now, more than 81% knew that the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was expressing hope for racial justice and brotherhood in his historic I Have a Dream speech.
That's a good news.
Most of the rest surveyed thought that King was advocating the abolition of slavery.
The findings indicate that years of efforts by primary and secondary scrubs to steep young people in the basics of the civil right leader's life and activities have resulted in a mixed bag.
Most college students know who he is, even if they're not quite clear on what it was he was trying to achieve.
Students and teachers stop, why stop?
Students and teachers say today's federal holiday, marking King's birthday, is the one that receives the most attention in scrubs, in part because the events surrounding the man it commemorates are the most recent.
Of course, at the expense of George Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln, uh, and and so forth.
Uh now, you might say, how is this happening?
We have, and I don't know for how many years Black History Month.
Ha.
That sets of February.
That's right, and Dr. King's birthday's in January.
And I guess by February we've forgotten.
It still doesn't make any sense to me.
We've had Black History Month, we've had good great.
How do you explain this?
How well.
Maybe that's it.
Education is underfunded.
When's the Supreme Court going to do something about this?
When's the Supreme Court going to step in and tell these universities that they're screwing up and teaching their own students about Dr. King's life?
This is it really is.
I mean, take the humor of this out of it, and it's stunning.
Black History Month, all of the focus on civil rights.
And this is in academia.
Liberals own and run academia.
It'd be one thing if this were a survey of Hillsdale College, which is conservative and Republican and so forth.
I'll bet you the students at Hillsdale know more about this than the liberal academic institutions where this stuff is being taught.
Tanisha Rodney, 14 ninth grader at William E. Dorr Jr.
Public Charter School for the Performing Arts in Northeast Washington.
What a name for a school.
Said, honestly, I I never knew what Veterans Day was until last year.
Now she's only 14.
She now knows what it is, but does she really?
They didn't ask her what well, what is it?
She just knows it today.
In many scrolls across the country, teachers say that social studies has taken a back seat under the federal no child left behind law, which stresses math and reading.
Squeezing history into the curriculum can be difficult, educators say, and taking time out of a scheduled lesson to use a federal holiday, even king's as a teaching moment can be tough.
But some students readily acknowledge the holiday amounts a little more than a day off screw.
That's that's what all holidays are to all kids.
You know what somebody told me yesterday, I'm on the golf course yesterday, played golf, and on the way home, a friend of mine told me something.
I never knew.
He said, Do you know why the Martin Luther King Day is a separate Monday holiday?
I said, I think I figure it out.
Politics.
No, it had nothing to do with politics, he said.
I used to be in the ski business, the ski industry, snow ski.
And he said the ski industry needed a three-day weekend in January between Christmas, New Year's, and February.
And so it was the ski industry that's what he told me.
He was dead serious.
Now I'm sure he had the ski industry had allies in the civil rights movement and so forth.
That's what he I had never ever heard that before.
And you don't think so?
Well, look at my friend doesn't make things up, and my friend is not a braggart.
And my friend, uh he didn't use the word we when he was talking about the ski industry.
He said, Look, I used to be in the business, I just remember that's one of the things.
Look at the ski business needs three-day weekends for people to be able to show up and ski and patronize the lodges and the ski lifts and all that sort of stuff.
You you know what?
It sounds just strange enough to be true in American politics.
All these three-day weekends and holidays and so forth.
But blame this on on the no child left behind.
That really makes a lot of sense.
Stresses math and reading.
Whatever.
The No Child Left Behind Act is relatively new.
Martin Luther King's birthday is a been celebrated for a long time.
Black History Month's been going on for a long time.
Somehow the liberals that run academic are blowing it here big time.
And then there's another story in the stack that the civil rights leaders today just aren't getting it with Obama.
Just are not digging Obama.
Where is this?
Hang on here.
Yes, and you know where this appears, the UK Times.
Obama's Charm Lost on America's black activists.
And the story is all about how the black leadership has failed to abrace Barack Obama.
Maybe because they found out that he's white.
Well, they think Clarence Thomas is white.
Because of his attitudes and his and his views.
Um Lisa Rice is white.
By the way, did you see my boxer hit her below the ovaries line, showed up everywhere.
I mean, they even saw it in a New Delhi paper.
You know, the rich white chick with the big huge mouth taking on this African American woman, Condoleza Rice, a couple of days before Martin Luther King Day hitting below the ovaries.
That line has circulated throughout media all over the world.
In fact, it leads, I think a column in the Boston Herald.
At any rate, brief time out here, ladies and gentlemen.
I'll have the details on the Barack Obama story, the Duke Lacrosse case, your phone calls, other stuff out there.
Sit tight, lots left to do.
Hey, I got one more education story here, folks.
Before we go back to the phones, uh, this 14-year-old girl at this school with the name that takes half a page to type, said that she only recently learned about Veterans Day.
Well, it's a good thing she doesn't live and go to school in New Jersey because they just canceled it.
Well, I mean, they're going to stop teaching it.
Get this.
Here's a name to remember.
Guy's name is John Adler.
His profession?
Politician, occupation, state senator, and member of New Jersey's state legislature.
He is this this John Adler is the proud sponsor of a proposal to allow New Jersey Scruals to stop teaching their students about certain American holidays, including Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Congressman or State Senator John Adler's party affiliation.
He's a Democrat.
Now, you may not know this, but I do because I'm host.
Since 1967, New Jersey law has required schools to observe the holidays to promote, quote, the development of a higher spirit of patriotism, unquote.
But State Senator John Adler, Democrat, cites a 2004 report by a state commission, commission that advised giving Scruels flexibility on teaching and promoting these holidays.
John Adler, Democrat, says he doubts the schools even bother to instruct students about Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving anyway.
Now you might think, I don't know, I'm assuming that you're like I was when I heard this.
I got a little mad.
I wouldn't say I was outraged because I don't get outraged except when 2Js doesn't show up on time.
But I was still mad.
I'm assuming that some of you people might think that a proposal to stop teaching about Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving might meet some resistance.
You I thought, well, this is a joke, this is some kook.
This'll never fly.
Even in New Jersey, somebody will put the kibosh on this.
Well, if you thought that as I did, you and I are both wrong.
Scrual officials support John Adler's bill.
It was passed unanimously by the legislature.
It was part of a larger bill to supposedly control New Jersey's outrageous property taxes by eliminating school purchasing procedures and public hearings.
Governor Corzine, also a Democrat, hasn't weighed in on this yet.
He's waiting for the focus groups, probably.
Only people, the only people who are upset about this are New Jersey's veterans.
And of course, in this day and age, folks, who cares?
What they say?
They're just a bunch of warmongering, prisoner abusing, civilian killing relics from a bunch of old wars that we shouldn't have fought in the first place.
Besides, even if New Jersey was one of the original 13 colonies, which makes it rich in history.
Who the hell cares about history?
They're not even teaching it to students at college about Martin Luther King.
So not only do they not know about Martin Luther King, don't know, but Veterans Day don't know about Memorial Day, Columbus Day.
So who cares about history and culture anymore?
For that matter, you might say with stuff like this, who cares about the country?
The thing I'm curious about is did anybody go talk to the Indians and ask them what they think about Thanksgiving being canned.
You know, because that's huge PR for them.
Thanksgiving story for Indians is a big, big, and these people trying to get casinos all over the place, they need the positive PR.
And here the politically correct in New Jersey have totally taken them out of the equation.
They're gonna stop teaching about all that.
Oh, nobody asked them.
Nobody ever does really.
Mark in Chicago, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
Mega Diddles from Chicago.
Hopefully uh the next Super Bowl champs here uh at the end of this month.
Yeah, best of luck to you on that.
Thanks, Rosh.
Hey, first of all, thank you for being a great inspiration in my life.
You've allowed me to venture out and do things because of your uh endless pursuit of excellence, and I personally want to thank thank you for that.
Well, you're more than well, you I didn't allow it.
I may have inspired it and made you better than you can be, but you did it.
Well, Rush, uh, listening to you on a daily basis as I travel has uh again been a great inspiration and uh thank you.
Love to send you some complimentary products and uh uh as a thank you as a token of my appre appreciation.
Thank you, sir very much.
Yeah.
Rush, here's here here's my here's my uh question on 24.
Uh after listening to you for so many years, uh I've tried to train my kids in this way too, is always asked what does that mean?
And I love 24, and I'm watching it last night, and when they first showed the picture of uh President Palmer, and uh I was thinking, wow, what is that mean?
And I guess my question to you, is that a prelude to Obama.
You know, the uh this this uh this season uh they started writing this season, uh in fact well just they started writing this season in June.
They started conceiving it, conceptualizing it in March.
They will start working on season seven in March.
They actually started putting words to the page in June, and this is long before any Obama hype came up.
Besides, this is the second black president on 24.
So the first black president would have been Obama.
Uh and that was before him Obama was still in the state senate in Illinois.
So now there's there's there's no um it's purely a fictional character.
Well, I appreciate your take on that.
Well, you're more than welcome.
Just you know, watch the show and take what it gives you.
Uh it's it's complicated enough.
It's got great twists and turns, great, great plot movements, without trying to read between any lines.
This is one show you don't really have you can you know if you if it's fun for you to do that and try to theorize what what's in the writer's head, you can go ahead and do that.
But this show offers you enough to sit back and I and by the way, if some of you people watched the first two episodes last night, ha ha ha!
Wait till tonight.
And I uh uh look it.
This it is episode four, the second hour tonight, and episode five next week, where this really, really gets going.
Where you just won't believe what you're watching.
He'll sit there and say, I can't believe they did that.
I can't believe I just saw that.
There are plenty of moments in the first two episodes last night, but contrary to what many people think possible, the heat gets turned up on all kinds of situations uh uh starting tonight next week, and then you know, get out of the way.
Just it'll bowl you over if you're not careful.
Mark, thanks for the phone call.
This Ed in Levitt Town, Pennsylvania.
Appreciate your waiting, sir.
Hello.
Oh, Russ, how you doing?
Good.
Okay.
The uh lacrosse uh coaches, shouldn't they have their jobs back?
Hell yes, if they've stupid enough to take them, I they fire the coaches?
That's what I mean.
They disband the team over all this.
Do you know this event took place off campus?
This really had nothing to do with Duke.
This is just a bunch of liberals panicking over a template uh that that they view American life as and American society as this whole thing has been an outrage.
The whole thing.
I mean, get rid of the program, get fired the coach for lack of discipline and uh and and so forth.
Uh it's it's to me, this is you know, I I'm I like I said earlier, and uh Duke has the best one of the you know top rated basketball programs in the country, Mike Sheshewski.
But I gotta tell you something if parents of athletes watched Sixty Minutes last night and watched the parents of these three kids, they'd have to really think again before sending their students off to this university.
They really would.
You gotta have a reservoir of at least a million dollars to handle legal fees.
Because if something happens to you, your kid on this campus, this campus, if it's just baseless charges with no evidence, this university is gonna dump all over your kid and throw your kid overboard.
That's that's the uh the the lesson here of this.
But look, there's a lot to say about this.
I'll do it before the program ends.
Maybe in the next segment.
I don't even know yet.
Okay, let me try this again.
Because a new wave of I can't watch this show.
This silly PC business going out of their way, not to offend the Muslims and anybody is just too much rush.
I can't watch it, and I can't believe you're talking about.
Okay.
Let's talk about the show being written so as not to offend Muslims.
What is happening in the show?
America is going up in flames.
Cities, not big ones either, Heartland Cities are being bombed to smithereens.
There are suicide bombers for the first time on this program, and they are militant Islamists.
How in the world is that?
I don't understand this.
I don't want to shout.
How in the world is that not trying to offend Muslims?
Now, if you mean the way the WIMP administration's dealing with it, folks, don't you understand that's one of the major threats we're having political arguments in this country about?
Uh there's a whole segment of the political element in this country which is bent on not offending Muslims from the Supreme Court down.
And if you want to start reading between the lines of the show, which I don't do, maybe you could say to yourself that they're showing you what such an administration would be like.
Regardless if it's a Republican or Democrat, forget that.
Al-Akmar, whatever.
I just...
That's the last I'm gonna say about it.
This is just that's the last I'm gonna say about it.
By the way, have you seen, I just saw this on television.
Apparently, some company's putting out a Saddam in the Noose doll.
Saddam Hussein in a hangman's noose and the t-shirt says dope on a rope.
Oh, this is horrible.
I mean, people, this is this is how how can the Supreme Court permit this?
We're making fun of this guy who was hanged, and then it was brutally taunted and made fun of and laughed at before he was hanged.
This is unseemly.
But here's the real story.
Uh several kids in the Middle East have died trying to replicate the Saddam video.
They've hanged themselves.
Uh the and not I says here, this is an AP story, the boys' deaths scattered in the U.S., in Yemen, in Turkey, and elsewhere in seemingly isolated horror had one thing in common.
They hang themselves after watching TV images of Saddam Hussein's execution.
And a press is wringing their hands over it.
Oh my God, you realize what's happening here?
Why that video?
It was horrible that video's been released because look what these kids are now trying to copy because I mean they're hanging themselves.
This is horrible.
Wait a minute.
Is this the same media for the longest time telling us violence and sex and perversion on TV doesn't affect behavior of the little kids that watch it?
But now all of a sudden, since it's the Saddam video, why there's a problem here.
You know, there was there was less explicit violence in the Saddam video than in 95% of the action shows and movies that are broadcast to this country every day.
In terms of raw violence in the Saddam video, there wasn't much.
Just that final shot with the head at an angle and the slit throat.
Uh Well, selective outrage.
Here is Cheryl in Mechanicsville, Virginia.
Hi, Cheryl.
Glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Ditto.
Um that man that called you and said that he didn't want you talking about 24 anymore.
Oh God, he upset me so bad.
I could not wait to turn the radio on today to hear you talk about 24.
It's one of my favorite subjects.
I've been into the show from the beginning.
And please keep talking about I love that show.
Don't worry about it.
I appreciate this, but as I told this guy, if I ever stop talking about what interests me, I'm gonna sound boring as hell, and you're not gonna want to listen to it anymore.
And if I furthermore try to anticipate what everybody wants to hear and try to please everybody like Governor Schwarzenegger's trying to do in California, then I'm gonna bomb out where because you can't do it.
Because to please that guy, I would have to upset you.
I know And then I wouldn't be true to myself, but I hate myself more than I would hate you.
And he could he could learn something.
You hate me.
No, no, no, no.
He could learn something.
I mean, you've talked about sports before.
I you even got me interested in watching golf.
I never thought I would watch golf.
But you always talk about golf, and I I turned it on, I started watching some of it, I learned some things.
You know, I mean, he could learn something.
Enjoy this show.
It's fantastic.
Go out and get season one.
Start from the beginning, just like you told that other man.
Right.
It's a show that makes you think, and just the way you say about your show, fastest three hours on the radio.
This is the fastest two hours that I saw last night in television.
It's gripping.
Wow.
You are exactly right.
It is I just love Chloe.
You like the new hair color?
See, there's a female question.
There's a fe Do you like her new hair color?
I don't really care.
I don't care.
I just love her.
Okay.
Well, no matter what she looks like, uh I just she's so cool.
Anyway.
Well, I'm glad you call.
I'm glad you like show, and I'm glad you understand what happens here on this program.
We haven't even gotten to the football games yesterday.
We were talking about them beforehand here before the uh program started, but maybe if we can squeeze it in, we'll uh we'll do so.
Uh Ted Pocatello, Idaho, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Uh yes, uh, thanks for taking my call.
And uh first thing I want to do I mean, the only thing I want to say was that I want to make a comment about that Duke Lacrosse rape case.
The rape charge have been dropped and some more charges have been filed, but I was just saying they everybody trying to act like these people are so these guys are nothing but some athletes.
Now I'm gonna ask me myself.
They're they're nothing but some athletes, and they hey, hey, hey, hey, do me do me a favor, Ted, because my hearing, if you would slow down just a little.
Okay.
Last thing I heard you say was that the the the these guys are nothing but athletes.
And you said you're you're an athlete yourself.
Yes, I'm I I'm I'm an athlete myself, and I can't see why just going you do these guys are both probably guilty just on assumption.
I mean uh excluding DNA, but then you have to have DNA to to really convict someone.
But um but what I'm trying to say is that these guys are athletes and they have they have two strippers from a different nationality coming to a fraternity house or a lacrosse or or or or or lacrosse sports team uh home, you know, bun of athletes around there, and then these girls are strippers.
You know they're gonna make racial comments, you know they're gonna try something like that.
It's just you know, but now they act like these guys are Wait, but hold it.
Now wait, wait.
What what I'm a little confused.
Are you speaking in defense of these guys or are you criticizing them?
I'm not quite getting where you're going here.
What I am doing is saying that I'm criticizing the press for well, not really the press, but for everyone's trying to exonerate these people just because the rape charges have been dropped.
Now this girl sure she has.
Well, that's not just why.
That because the you you mentioned the DNA.
They found DNA for half of North Carolina, but none of it for these three guys.
True.
True.
So therefore, so therefore, therefore she ha her her story's conflict um.
Well, she's changed it.
She's changed it three or four times.
Yes, they have.
Niflong never spoke to the lawyers or the kids, and he only had his investigators speak to the accuser in the past four weeks or so.
Nyphong's facing serious disbarment charge charges over the way he handled this.
I tell you, you know what?
The best way for you to understand, let me go through what I've got here on this, because I I do think this is a case.
Uh uh, Ted, where where the nature of the evidence is irrelevant and the seriousness of the charge is what is uh is guiding every hero.
I, you know, I I I don't know these three kids.
I have read some stuff that Reed Seeligman has uh has said in interviews, and it sounds to me like this this uh young man is pretty well adjusted and well connected and together, uh despite all of this.
Uh and their families seem like they're good decent people, too.
You talk about a stripper from a uh different nationality uh came over.
You what you have to understand, you can look at this two ways.
Uh maybe they're looking at this with with without color in mind, maybe these guys didn't care, they may not racists.
Who is it that's noticing the skin color here?
And nobody ever mentions this.
Nobody ever mentions that this lady came to the house in Durham willfully, and at a price she determined to take off her clothes.
She set the price, she shows up to do a stripping routine.
I mean, if everybody should know that these athletes are hooligans, she should know it.
She shows up.
Had she never considered the risks of this behavior.
It's one thing to strip on a pole in a bar with 15,000 bouncers around you, but if you're going to hire yourself out, you have to know the risks involved.
Maybe what they ought to do in North Carolina is make strippers who visit private homes illegal.
Uh and and all of that.
Save the dancers from themselves.
We need laws to protect the strippers, because the strippers aren't doing enough to protect themselves.
Now I've got a I've got a story here.
I'm going to take a break here.
I'm going to come back and I'm going to go through this.
I've got a column actually by William Anderson from the uh Lou Rockwell Institute, Lou Rockwell.com.
Uh, that is just informative and powerful uh as it can be.
Uh and it's I don't know if you saw the 60 minutes piece last night with these uh families.
But whatever you thought of the of the President Bush appearance with Scott Pelley, this piece on the Duke LaCrosse case uh was the meat of the uh of the show.
But let me take a break.
We'll do that, we'll come back and continue.
We'll squeeze your phone calls in here as warranted right after this.
Okay, Duke LaCrosse case.
Let's get in, get it and get out.
By William Anderson, Lou Rockwell.com.
Even though the criminal case against the three Duke Lacrosse players hasn't yet been deep sixed.
The lawsuits against Duke University have begun.
The family of Kyle Dowd, a lacrosse player who was graduated last spring, filed against the university and a faculty member, Kim Curtis, claim who we told you about, this babe, claiming that Curtis failed Dowd in retaliation for his being on the lacrosse team.
Curtis, who is a visiting prof in Duke's political science department has a reputation for being a leftist ideologue, was one of the 88 signers of the infamous social disaster advertisement, the Duke Chronicle, that thanked the protesters who acted in the aftermath of the charges levied against the lacrosse players.
Furthermore, Kim Curtis actively participated in a number of rallies in which protesters held up signs calling for the lacrosse players to be castrated, while other signs declared, get a conscience, not a lawyer, and others just declared confess.
Her postings on a community website left no doubt that she believed her students either committed rape or at the very least were covering for the alleged rapists.
Now again, a picture of what the Duke University of the Cross players experienced last spring as they walked through a literal gauntlet on their way to class, envisioned the following students holding signs, big banners, declaring castrate, speakers at regular rallies calling for their expulsion from Scruel, students screaming slogans at them.
The new Black Panthers and old buddy Malik Shabbaz came to Durham and said they were going to go to the Duke University dorms where lacrosse players lived in order to get confessions from them.
They also had a deal with a poster with the pictures of the white lacrosse players calling for them to please come forward and tell the police who allegedly raped the accuser was distributed and posted all over Duke's campus along with a fact sheet that we know today had no facts that were correct.
For the time being, people are trying to make this a free speech issue.
Hey, they can put up whatever banners and walk around campus all they want.
But the situation is much deeper than that.
Every year, college campuses all over the country host rallies such as take back the night marches against rape and stop the hate and the like.
Many of the topics covered in these rallies are controversial and clearly people are not in agreement, but for the most part, they are general in nature.
What happens, however, when ideologies meet specific accusations?
To use the words of the 88 Duke signees, one has a social disaster.
A group called Lie Stoppers put its own advertisement of the Raleigh News and Observer last summer to point out that the real social disaster is the attempt to railroad innocent people into prison, and that is where the real liability for Duke University begins.
For all the talk about free speech, Duke University has a contractual obligation to its students.
And that includes keeping them from being physically and verbally harassed by both faculty and students.
Assume that the objects of this wrath are homosexuals, and they are met with signs that mock them and have anti-gay slurs or call for their sexual organs to be cut off.
Furthermore, assume that the protest is not against homosexuality in general, but rather aimed specifically at certain males on campus who are gay.
The liability that Duke would face in this example is the same liability the university undoubtedly faces now.
And I will say this again, as I said earlier in the program.
Every college basketball recruiter in the country should be showing the parents of prospective Duke players the interview that aired last night on 60 Minutes.
Look at these parents of these these kids.
They're pretty gifted, they're smart athletes.
You want them to spend the next four years of their life at Duke facing this kind of liberalism run amuck.
And uh just in case do you have a spare million hanging around to spend on attorneys, potentially.
The fact is that Durham and Duke, they're cesspools.
They've been for decades.
Uh there's no tax base in Durham without that school.
Now, this piece by Lou Rockwell, and we'll we'll link to it at Rushlimbla.com.
It's just it's just one guy's opinion, William Anderson's opinion.
But it goes, if you read the whole thing, it methodically lines out the incredible liability that Duke University, Nyphong, and Durham have.
And this is written before anybody knew what was revealed on 60 Minutes last night that these boys and their families were hadn't were threatened with their lives in the courtroom.
As one of the mothers said last night on 60 Minutes, every parent of a son in this country should be terrified by this case.
And especially, ladies and gentlemen, if they are white.
As I say, this incident occurred off campus, not during standard school hours.
It really wasn't a Duke issue.
The players just happen to attend school there.
And I don't know, do you think they call them up?
Hi, we're the Duke Lacrosse team.
We want you to come over and strip for us, Crystal.
Okay, what's the price?
And they pay the price, she shows up.
It is the school and the media and community that has linked this incident to the university.
And why?
Because Duke is internationally known primarily for basketball.
The media went nuts with this because it fulfills their template.
Look at all the rich ingredients we had here.
Race, sex, wealth, poverty, adolescence, privilege, alcohol, a prestigious and famous university, athletics, criminal behavior, politics.
The only thing missing here as far as the media was concerned was a murder scene.
This wasn't about the nature of the evidence.
This was about the seriousness of the charge, the nature of the charge, because liberals, whenever something like this is charged, automatically think it's true based on their own rampant guilt.
These uh these guys' lives have been ruined.
If they did it, they should go to jail.
If they didn't do it, they still have been jailed to a certain degree.
I hope they sue.
I hope they sue knife wong the investigators, the university, and uh and everybody else.
It's civil.
Case back here in just a second, folks.
One exciting, pulsating, riveting hour of broadcast excellence remains.
And it'll start soon, before you know it, ladies and gentlemen.
