Time Text
And greetings to your music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists, tax cutters all across the fruited plain, Rush Limbaugh emitting vocal vibrations, coast to coast, rhetoric and residence for the starved masses.
At the same time, redefining hip on the radio.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
The email address, rush at EIBnet.com if you'd like to be on the program today.
If you permit me a personal little story here, as you people know, we celebrate entrepreneurism on this program, and I have a friend who had an idea, and it's a little sauce.
Sauce is not the word for it.
It's a marinade.
You put it at Bloody Marys and this sort of thing.
It's called Dr. Tillet Suits.
And the name is just cute.
Is it Dr. Tillet Suits?
T-I-L-L-I-T-S-U-I-T-S, Dr. Tillet Suits.
And it comes in a bottle that's about, oh, six, seven inches high.
And after playing golf for the guy, he was very proud of this.
He's very excited.
He said, you got to come over.
I got to fix your Bloody Mary.
I said, well, it's still early in the afternoon.
How about a Virgin Mercy?
Whatever.
So I went over to his place, dropped him off home, went up to his apartment.
He made me this Virgin Mary with this Dr. Tillet Suits stuff.
And it was delicious.
And I said, are you going to sell this?
How are you going to get it out there?
He said, well, we're working on getting it in some stores and so forth.
He finally told me the other day that he got it on the shelf at Williams Sonoma.
Pardon?
It is impressive.
Williams Sonoma is a major, major concern.
You know, a huge, huge retailer, retails, catalogs, and so forth.
And it's just a heartwarming story.
And I'll tell you what this stuff is.
He markets it as a culinary cure, a culinary cure.
It's a great marinade for meats and chicken, and it enhances recipes.
Crab cakes or chicken, shrimp, lobster salad, whatever, soups, stews, sauces.
It makes salsa better, gaspacho better.
And this guy's a cook.
He's in a hospitality business.
So he's a superb cook.
When I have him over for dinner, when I have a bunch of people over and he's there, he always makes the Caesar salad at table.
So he's got this stuff bottled.
It's on the shelves at Williams Sonoma.
But it's primary purpose.
I mean, you can use it in all these things I mentioned, but it's really great in Bloody Marys.
And you just, you make your Bloody Mary with however you make it, and you start adding Dr. Tillet suits till it suits.
And the idea is you just use it and use it and use it.
It's a great, great marketing.
I just wanted to mention this because it's entrepreneurial and it's clever, and it's no mean feat to start from scratch and get something on the shelves at Williams Sonova.
So, I mean, it makes your recipes come alive is the line that I would attach to it.
Now, you know, we've had fun all week with the Barack the Magic Negro story, particularly with local TV station in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
And interestingly today, there are two pieces on this.
And I wanted to bring both of them to your attention.
The first by John Sanders at townhall.com.
And the title of his piece is Liberals Don't Get the Joke, but they'll try to get the one who made the joke.
The Roman satirist Juvenal famously quipped, well, I don't know Latin, so I'm not going to repeat the words, but what it means is it's difficult not to write satire.
It was difficult nearly two millennia ago, and it still is today, or it is difficult not to write satire.
What seems even more difficult now, however, is for the perennially offended in the media and academe to understand satire.
Just ask Rush Limbaugh and Mike Adams.
Limbaugh and Adams have recently weathered ill-conceived attacks on their parodies.
Limbaugh's song Barack the Magic Negro and Mike Adams' article supposedly advocating terrorism against gay bathhouses in San Francisco.
Opportunistic critics acted as if Limbaugh and Adams were seriously promoting racism and mass murder when the truth is both were turning to satire to denounce racism and mass murder.
One wonders, reading the overreactions to and the deliberate misreadings of satire in today's climate, whether Jonathan Swift's publicist would have resigned or tried to defend his client from reports that he advocated cooking kids in stews.
There's a simple but effective test of satire, one that hails back to Aristotle.
Humor is the only test of gravity.
By the way, folks, when you start talking about humor, it's not funny.
And this is, you know, any comedian will tell you, when you start talking about it, it's not funny.
Humor is something to be done.
And if you have to explain it, it loses some of its bite, too.
Which is why I sort of cringed when I went through the line-by-line translation and representation of Barack the Magic Negro the other day, but I had no choice because there are people who are not listening to this program forming all kinds of conclusions about that song without any information whatsoever.
And of course, it was the first tutorial from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative School of Studies Journalism School.
So it was necessary.
But Aristotle said humor is the only test of gravity and gravity of humor.
For a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious.
And a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
Note that the great logician pinpointed a very compelling reason for using humor.
It's the best test of ideas.
Humor is a challenge to the very core of an idea.
It's gravity, it's seriousness.
Laughter demands a response.
As Aristotle explains, an idea that cannot withstand mockery is suspicious.
And you go try it.
You try making fun of liberalism and see what happens to you.
It will not withstand mockery.
They won't put up with it, which means it's false, which means it has no substance, which means it cannot be allowed.
Liberals cannot allow for liberalism to be truly exposed and explained.
An idea that can't withstand mockery is suspicious.
You shouldn't trust it.
Those who cannot tolerate jokes cracked at their ideology's expense betray their ideology's weakness.
And I'll give you an example.
Not long ago, somebody called this program and asked me what if I liked about if I liked Boston Legal.
I said, yeah, it's one of my favorite shows, the William Shatner character.
He says, you do?
All they do is make fun of conservatives.
I said, no, but it's funny.
And Shatner's a buffoon, but I love the character.
It's a television show.
I can watch it and I can laugh.
Now, last night's was a little bit over the top, but I don't think that show is going to persuade anybody.
I don't even want to talk about last night's show.
The point is, I'm able to laugh at the jokes made about the things I believe all the time.
We all are.
You know, we're not sitting around wringing our hands, waiting to be offended and then strike out and silence everybody who laughs at us and makes fun of us.
We join in the joke, liberals will not.
And that's what John Sanders' point here is about Aristotle.
An idea that cannot withstand mockery is suspicious.
You shouldn't trust it.
Those who can't tolerate jokes cracked at their ideology's expense betray its weakness.
Weak ideologies require something other than citizens' shared ideals and support to maintain their power.
Frequently, they resort to the power of the gun.
It's no coincidence that Khmer Rouge and the Taliban banned laughter, or that citizens of Soviet Russia had to tell each other jokes behind their hands, hiding in bathrooms with the water running, because they were afraid of who was going to hear them.
That reminded me of the story that Natan Sherensky told me when I interviewed him about his book, about the concept of the yearning spirit of freedom.
It's inside all human beings.
And I asked him, You were a dissident.
You were in a Soviet jail.
He said, Yeah, but you know, I was free.
While I was in jail, I could tell jokes about the Russians and the Soviets.
I could tell jokes and I could laugh at them.
The guards couldn't tell one joke.
I was the one free in jail.
They weren't.
And this is right on the money.
Liberals will not laugh at themselves.
You can't, I mean, they have no sense of humor about anything.
Also note that Aristotle provided a way to test the humor and to try an idea.
It's not enough that there is a joke.
The joke has to be defensible, must bear serious examination.
In other words, humor or satire should present a serious challenge to the idea, a challenge that can be investigated in its own right.
If the humor fails to have a serious basis, then it's false wit.
That's why I've always said humor has to contain elements of truth or it's not even funny.
The satirist should therefore be able to defend his jest.
So back to Limbaugh and Adams.
Controversy was slow in finding Limbaugh's months-old spoof, but it has been growing recently.
On Monday, Sacramento TV station suggested the song was racist and implied it might even be responsible for putting Obama in mortal danger.
On his show that day, Limbaugh proved the parody wasn't false wit.
In a line-by-line defense of the song, Limbaugh showed that it spoofs the absurd problems Obama's candidacy poses to race-obsessed Democrats.
Its lyrics make clear that its provocative title and some material hail from David Ehrenstein's L.A. Times article, Obama the Magic Negro.
He showed how other portions were inspired by the Obama-Sharpton feud and the steady drip of media reports doubting whether Obama's black enough.
In short order, Limbaugh left no room for doubt that the racism his song revealed was racism from the political left.
If media members and liberals truly find it objectionable, as their reaction to Limbaugh's parody suggests, they know where it originates.
Dare they root it out?
Dare they root it out of themselves?
Incidentally, the difficulty with understanding satire isn't universal.
The Sacramento TV station ran polls of its audience to see if they shared the misreadings of the parodies.
86%, well, 95% of respondents at last check to the Sacramento TV station poll disagreed that Limbaugh's song is racist.
So the point is: liberals don't get the joke, but they'll try to get the one who made it.
Their ideology doesn't stand the test of examination.
Their ideology can't, you can't joke about it because when you joke about it, you're telling the truth about it, and that's what liberals cannot allow.
Is for the truth about liberalism to be exposed.
And of course, especially in humor, because that is a persuasive way of communicating.
The second such article is a stunner today from the Chicago Tribune, Clarence Page.
Satire about Obama isn't the same as Amos Flub.
Clarence Page is black, is an African-American, and I'm going to read you portions of this because it, too, is amazing.
We'll get to that right after this.
Don't go away.
And we're back.
I really don't want to harm Clarence Page by quoting him here.
When I happen to quote favorably, People in the mainstream media, their colleagues sometimes think they've sold out.
It's called a raspberry effect.
But regardless, I have to share with you what he said today in the Chicago Tribune.
Satire about Obama isn't the same as Imus Flubby.
He's read you some excerpts of this.
Remember when media pundits were asking whether Senator Obama was black enough to attract black voters?
That was the old media narrative.
The new one goes sort of like this.
Maybe he's too black.
Take, for example, his conservative adversaries, such as talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who seems to take gleeful delight in reminding everybody how black Obama is, and even more delight when the rest of us notice.
Now, that is a bit over the top because I've been very supportive of Obama.
My suggestion to Obama was he called all these people that are mentioning race and get it out of the stories.
It's they who are questioning his race.
What I delight in reminding everybody of is how it's the Democrats, it's the liberals who are judging his blackness and his authenticity and whether or not he's down for the struggle.
That's the fun of this.
Not questioning his race or anything of the sort.
Back in mid-March, El Rushbaugh began to air a satirical song titled Barack the Magic Negro.
He didn't make up the term.
He hijacked it fair and square.
And he goes on to mention it came from the L.A. Times and so forth.
Aaron Stein, who's black, the author of the L.A. Times piece, described white guilt as the minimal discomfort that the white film characters feel about the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history.
Limbaugh, in the fashion of our times, chastised liberal racism for bringing up race in this fashion and then proceeded to air a song about it repeatedly.
Sung to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon by voice impersonator Paul Shanklin, imitating Sharpton.
This song goes in part like this, and then he quotes some of the lyric line and says, if Limbaugh, get this line, if Limbaugh was looking for something to prove that he is worth caring about, he struck pay dirt.
I'm worth caring about?
Meaning, hey, you know, you people on the left, you better start paying attention here.
It probably says something.
This is one of the most fascinating lines in the piece.
It probably says something about how isolated Limbaugh may be from the rest of us, meaning in the media.
That the song didn't generate much mainstream media controversy until last week, and that was when Obama became the first presidential candidate to qualify for secret service protection besides Senator Clinton.
It was the earliest assignment of secret service protection since another black candidate, Reverend Jackson, ran for president in 84 and 88.
Citing a large number of wackos in the world, a lot of people on the web and on talk radio, particularly listeners to Sharpton's show, think Limbaugh should meet the same fate as Imus.
But I don't.
I may not be in sync with Limbaugh's politics, but the two cases are quite different.
As satire, Limbaugh's song passes three critical tests that Imus' offhand comment flunked.
It's funny.
It took at least half a brain to think it up, and it contains a nugget of truth.
Now, this line, it probably says something about how isolated Limbaugh may be from the rest of us, that the song didn't generate much mainstream media controversy.
It's right on point.
I would rewrite it.
I don't think I'm isolated from them.
I think they are isolated from me.
They are the ones that don't listen to this.
Clarence Page obviously does.
But most of them don't.
They get what they think what happens on this program from websites like Media Matters and everything.
They miss the context.
They purposely avoid listening to the program.
And that, to me, that's the critical line.
He really understands what's going on.
This is up for two months before anybody raises this think about it.
And it wasn't my audience that raised a snake about it.
So he says something about how isolated Limbaugh may be from the rest of us.
Meaning they have purposely tuned out on purpose.
Limbaugh targets a wildly popular presidential candidate, precisely the sort of political expression the First Amendment was written to protect.
I may not agree with Limbaugh's politics, but he has a right to express them.
Besides, if the potentates of political correctness come after conservative commentators like Limbaugh today, they'll come after liberal commentators tomorrow.
And if voters think Obama can close that divide, they really do believe in magic.
So that is Clarence Page.
Those two pieces I wanted to share with him.
They'll be posted at rushlimbaugh.com later today.
Dave in Miami, nice to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
It's nice to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
Going back to the Fort Dix story, if we can, I remember an incident not too long ago where there was a shooting at a mall by a young man that I believe was an Albanian descent.
And I was wondering if anyone has tied the dots with what.
Where did that happen?
I don't recall the mall, but I do recall part of the story that he was a young man that had come to the U.S. after the war in Yugoslavia.
And he had grown up here in the States.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
That was Salt Lake City.
Yeah, that's the shopping.
That's right.
Salt Lake City shooting spree.
Salt Lake City Mall shooting spree.
Right.
And I was just wondering if anyone has tied the dots with what happened in New Jersey as far as the Albanians since he might be part of that same group that came over after.
Well, it's interesting that you ask.
I have a story here from a website that is called ADNKI.com.
It's Andikronos, I guess I'm pronouncing it here, Adnikronos International.
And I'm not sure where this website is.
But anyway, this story, what country it's in.
But this story quotes a Balkan terrorism expert named Darko Trifunovic.
And it is, I'm going to get to this after the break because you people have to hear this.
And we will, and it's dated today.
And we'll link to this at rushlimbaugh.com as well.
But it's interesting you should call about this right as this story is made available to me because not only does this story say there's a connection to the Salt Lake City thing and what happened at Fort Dix or what was planned for Fort Dix, but it's even more intertwined and complicated than that.
So sit tight out there, Dave, and all the rest of you.
You really need to hear what's coming next right after this on the EIB network.
A man, a living legend, and a way of life.
All right, folks, now a lot to discuss here because we're doing research and show prep at the time we are performing the show.
Doesn't happen anywhere else in modern media.
They go in with their scripted wow hour or two and then execute it and then anything that happens while they're on the air and doesn't make it.
But here, have to hear this.
Now, this is from the ADNKI.com website.
I'm not sure where this is from because I haven't had time to source it.
It's international, but it's a story out of Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
So I'm assuming it's there.
The arrest of four ethnic Albanians, a Jordanian and a Turk in the U.S. on Tuesday on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack at Fort Dix, New Jersey, confirms the existence of a white al-Qaeda.
Balkan terrorism expert Darko Trifunovic said.
He told this website, Adnocronos International, on Wednesday today.
Trefunovic said the arrest showed white al-Qaeda at work.
He compared the Fort Dix plot to a February attack in Salt Lake City when a Bosnian Muslim youth went on a shopping mall shooting rampage.
Six people, including the shooter, were killed.
Another four were injured in the attack.
Now, Darko Trifunovic is a professor at Belgrade University's Faculty of Security Studies.
He was the first to develop a theory of white al-Qaeda, which he says was introduced to the Balkans during the 1992-95 civil war in Bosnia, when thousands of mujahideen from Islamic countries came to fight on the side of local Muslims.
Many of the mujahideen have remained in the country and are believed to be indoctrinating local youths with radical Islam and even operating terrorist training camps, Trefunovic said, quoting Western and Balkans intelligence sources.
Al-Qaeda has adapted, or I'm sorry, adopted a new tactic of using white European youths for terrorist attacks because of their non-Arabic appearance, he said.
The strategy is to indoctrinate or poison the hearts and minds of youngsters to psych them up for the future terror operations.
And that's exactly what is now happening in the United States, said Balkan terrorism expert Darko Trafunovic.
The U.S. authorities arrested three ethnic Albanian brothers from Serbia's breakaway Kosovo province, another ethnic Albanian and a Jordanian and a Turk.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark said that the suspects were planning an attack on Fort Dix, which you all know.
Several of the suspects said they were ready to kill and die in the name of Allah, according to court papers.
The defendants, all men in their 20s, reportedly include a pizza delivery man suspected of using his job to scout out Fort Dix, three builders, and a taxi driver.
They were arrested while trying to buy AK-47 assault weapons and M-16s from an informant.
Now, many Balkan terrorism experts have been warning for years that al-Qaeda had active cells in Muslim-majority Kosovo at a training camp in the village of Ropotovo.
Kosovo has been under U.N. control since 1999 when NATO airstrikes drove Serbian forces out of the province.
U.S. authorities said that one of these people here was a sharpshooter in the Kosovo Liberation Army before fleeing to the U.S. to the United States.
Fort Dix is a training ground for American soldiers and reservists before they're sent to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a caller mentioned earlier.
And so the target of Fort Dix is not just random, doesn't appear to be just random.
Serb immigrants' websites noted that U.S. officials carefully avoided identifying the four ethnic Albanians as such, calling them only Islamic militants from former Yugoslavia.
A commentator on the Serb blog said that Washington, which backs independence for Kosovo, is embarrassed by the discovery of the Fort Dix plot because the truth might mess up the PR for Kosovo Albanians getting to rip off a piece of Serbia to create their own country, a move that has the full support of the U.S. State Department.
Hey, that's one story.
The bottom line is of this story from this terrorism expert in the Balkans, Darko Trafunovic, that there is an existence of white al-Qaeda to fool everybody here.
They do not look like Arabs, but they're being trained to hate and plan and execute terrorist attacks.
Now, a couple more things, and I just saw this about 30 seconds before the break ended, and I haven't had a chance to peruse all of it.
This first is from FindArticles.
Where is this from?
I need to be able to quote a source for this stuff, and I can't, which is the danger of this stuff coming in during the show.
Let's see.
Find articles.
Well, no, the other, whatever.
I don't even have a date on this one.
Ah, there it is.
June 7th of 1990.
Here we go.
Yeah, Insight on the News.
Here it is.
Stuff is so tiny I can barely read it.
Insight on the news, June 7th, 1999.
The White House ordered the quick evacuation of 20,000 Kosovar refugees at the U.S. pledge to take, shortcutting normal procedures and background checks in the burgeoning refugee village at Fort Dix, New Jersey, where as many as 3,000 of the 20,000 ethnic Albanians the U.S. will take in are being housed pending settlement.
There are many such tales, heart-rending but unverifiable to be sure.
This is about separated from families and all of that.
So this just confirms that the early story that we had that Islamic refugees, Kosovar refugees, were brought in by the Clinton administration and settled at Fort Dick.
Dicks meanwhile, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Public Health Service, and U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service were busy conducting the medical screenings and criminal background checks normally completed before a refugee can set foot on U.S. soil, but which were deferred in this case because of what some government officials saw as emergency circumstances.
The change in procedures was called completely atypical by a government official and highly unusual by the head of a major relief organization.
Let me translate that for you.
We bring in all these refugees from Kosovo and we didn't screen them for disease or backgrounds, criminal backgrounds, anything else.
We did that after they were here.
This is 1999.
This is summer of 1999 and the Clinton administration deferred all of this.
They eventually got around to doing all these checks and so forth, but after they were here.
Let's see.
One of the concerns, the first was an administration worry that the flood of Kosovo refugees was overwhelming some neighboring nations and might prove destabilizing to others, particularly Macedonia.
A second was a concern that the overcrowded camps presented a growing health risk to refugees.
This is back in Kosovo.
Finally, at least one top congressional aide says a contributing factor to bringing all these people in without the prior pre-screenings may have been a sense among officials that we helped create this mess and we better help to do something about it.
Meaning our Kosovo war with NATO and so forth and so on.
Look at the import of all this is that there is a terrorism expert in the Balkans claiming that a new white al-Qaeda is operating here that has been trained and planted here from the Balkans and from Kosovo.
And they are here to exact this kind of damage.
The Fort Dick 6 were apprehended before they could get moving on it.
But the Salt Lake City mall shooter, who killed six or killed four or whatever, was part of the group, is what this expert in the Balkans is saying.
Now, let's see.
Where is this from?
Tell you what, let me take a break.
I don't want to read something, and I don't know what it's from, and it's this stuff is such, oh, it's a military website.
Here's a quartermaster.army.mil.
So it's a military website.
A 1996 book by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton titled It Takes a Village became part of a theme for designing the refugee processing center at Fort Dix for these Kosovar refugees.
The First Lady's book centered on rekindling a society that totally sustains and supports its families and individuals, especially its children.
It was a 530th soldier who had read the First Lady's book and recommended naming the processing center's physical location the village rather than a camp or a compound.
Well, holy cow.
Holy cow.
So the refugee location, the camp, the compound was renamed the village in honor of Hillary Rodden.
Can you imagine what Clinton Inc. is doing right now with this news out there?
We've got two CNN stories that we've already shared with you.
We've got this Yugoslav website talking about white al-Qaeda, and it all ties back to the Clinton administration bringing 20,000 Kosovar refugees into the country in 1999.
And you've got a Balkans terrorism expert saying that the Salt Lake City mall shooting and the attempted shootings at Fort Dix, that plan, are all related to a new white al-Qaeda.
And as First Lady, Mrs. Clinton wrote columns about this, the village.
Mr. Stergley has just printed them out now.
She wrote columns.
That's right.
She did have a column.
I remember that now.
Mrs. Clinton had a column, and so she wrote about this.
We'll get those in due course.
The refugee population in the village at Fort Dix experienced a complete life cycle from beginning to.
Anyway, I got to take a break here, but you get the point here.
We brought the refugees in from Kosovo without prior screening.
We didn't screen them for disease or criminal background checks.
We did that after they got here.
We deferred them.
Then they got here, and they were so pleased to be here and so happy that they named their compound the village after Mrs. Clinton's book.
And of course, you remember the Clinton administration.
I never worked hard on this thing in my life, fight terrorism.
That's also, I worked in the middle of the day.
I thought about it.
I even thought about it in a study with Monica.
I thought about terrorism.
We did it.
We worked as hard as we could.
Richard Clark and me talked to him about it.
Can you imagine the spin room at Clinton Inc. and what it is doing right now, folks?
I got these two columns from Mrs. Bill Clinton from May 5th, 1999, May 19th, 1999.
But I want to go back to one of the CNN stories.
The First Lady said, Nothing makes the case more powerfully for why the United States and our allies are pursuing their mission in Kosovo and why we can't give up until the evils perpetrated by Milosevic and his regime have been stopped and the refugees return home in peace and safety.
Where is that attitude regarding Iraq?
Mrs. Clinton, perfectly fine with taking out after Slobodan Milosevic and talking about we got to help these people, we've got to help these allies.
We and our allies have got to bring them back home.
This Milosevic regime must be stopped.
The refugees return home in peace and safety.
I guess that doesn't matter in Iraq.
Where is the same attitude that Mr. Clinton had about Milosevic back in the late 90s?
Now, here is her column, it is called Talking It Over.
And the first one we have here is from May 5th, 1999.
Whenever and wherever people are in need, Americans stand ready to help, except Iraq.
Well, Democrats don't stand ready to help.
This week, I traveled to Fort Dix in New Jersey to represent the president and the people of the United States in welcoming the first group of Kosovar refugees from Macedonia arriving in our country.
Like hundreds of thousands of others, they've witnessed appalling atrocities.
In one 24-hour period earlier this week, more than 11,600 Kosovars arrived in Macedonia, bringing nearly 700,000 a number of refugees and displaced persons who have fled the terror that Slobodan Milosevic and his regime have inflicted on the ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo.
Some of those coming to the U.S. have relatives anxiously awaiting their arrival.
Families, churches, agencies around our country will sponsor housing for others.
Literally, tens of thousands of Americans have offered help of some kind.
Here's what you can do.
And then she goes on to ask you to drive them around and take them to the store, get them set up with relief agencies and get on welfare programs, all the great things that liberals believe in.
Every offer of help is an offer of hope.
The people of America are sending the people of Kosovo a very strong message.
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
Slobodan Milosevic has not succeeded in erasing your identity from the pages of history, and he will not succeed in erasing your presence from the land of your parents and grandparents.
They hated Milosevic.
Where's this attitude in Iraq for Mrs. Bill Clinton?
Don't forget what this is all about.
This is about the Fort Dix 6 and how they set all this up.
The Clinton set up the refugee camp at Fort Dix, and the refugees are so happy they named it the village after her book.
And we've got a Balkans terrorist expert saying, oh, yeah, these things are being set up all over the United States.
White al-Qaeda.
Jihadists and Islamists who don't look Arab.
Claims that the Salt Lake City shooter was one of them.
The May 19th, 1999 piece from Mrs. Clinton's Talking It Over column, we cannot let these people down, meaning the Kosovars.
We must tell and retell their stories because there is no more powerful argument for why the United States and our NATO allies are in Kosovo.
There is no more powerful justification for why we will not give up until the evils perpetrated by Milosevic have ended and these refugees are once again living in their own homes in peace and security.
This is Bill Clinton, presidential candidate today, first lady eight years ago, writing this.
Now, remember what Kosovo was about, folks?
Ethnic cleansing.
We weren't going to put up with it.
Fine and dandy.
But was there any U.S. national interest at stake?
There wasn't, was there?
Sectarian war is what that was.
It was a civil war.
It was a sectarian war.
Of course, we had NATO fight it from 15,000 feet.
It was our war, but we did it with our NATO allies.
Move to Iraq.
Sectarian war.
Civil war.
Nobody's used the term ethnic cleansing yet, because if they did, the Libs would have to join forces with us on it.
But there are clearly U.S. national interests at stake involved in Iraq.
Al-Qaeda and international terrorism.
I bring all of this up.
Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
The conclusion you can draw here is obvious.
The Democrats start a war.
It's all fine.
And it's valorous.
And it is moral.
And it is worth it.
And it's obviously no U.S. vital national interests were at stake.
Now, Mrs. Clinton, who was leading this effort, or claiming to, with all these public pronouncements, visits to Fort Dix, the bringing of refugees, Kosovar refugees to Fort Dix, now running for president, doing everything she can to please the anti-war crowd in this country.
That Iraq's not worth it.
Just isn't worth it.
Anyway, I got to take a brief time out here, folks.
There won't be time for any more phone calls, sadly, but we'll have all this stuff at our website tonight so you can peruse it in more detail.
I've just read excerpts of all of this in the interests of brevity and time.
Well, we didn't get to the global warming stack today, ladies and gentlemen, and it's growing.
And there's some really good stuff in there, but we had breaking news today, breaking news that you will not hear anywhere else.
And that is the involvement of the Clinton administration in establishing these refugee camps called The Village at Fort Dix and the existence of a white al-Qaeda, as reported by a Balkans terrorist expert.
We'll see.
I can just imagine the feverish, feverish activity at Clinton Inc. in the war room going on right now.
How to spend this, you know, where were we?
Got to send Sandy Burglar purgoing some documents.
We've got to straighten this out before Limbaugh takes it too far down the road.
See you tomorrow, folks.
