Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, it's time to clean up some more messes here today, folks.
It's amazing.
All the news that was made yesterday only reported here on the EIB network, hosted by me, America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, and the doctor of democracy, Rush Limbaugh here behind the golden EIB microphone with three hours of broadcast excellence.
Looking forward to talking to you.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
As always, a hearty welcome to those of you watching the program today on the DittoCam at www.rushlimbaugh.com.
You know, I have to say this, folks, yesterday had to be the profound insight program of the year.
Any columnist, any editorialist, any journalist, any punditist would love to have one profound insight a day.
I had several profundities yesterday.
I had four profundities.
We could call it a multiple infogasm yesterday.
One of the profundities was my analysis of Mrs. Clinton's statement to George Stephanopoulos.
And we're going to play it again for you today in which, in fact, Graba, it's, what is it, cut eight?
It is.
Grab cut eight.
Let's just play it again right now.
He was on Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
And Stephanopoulos said, can you pledge that all U.S. troops will be home over the course of your first term as president?
You know, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals and make pledges because I don't know what I'm going to inherit, George.
I don't know, and neither do any of us know, what will be the situation in the region.
How much more aggressive will Iran have become?
What will be happening in the Middle East?
How much more of an influence will the chaos in Iraq have in terms of what's going on in the greater region?
Will we have pushed al-Qaeda in Iraq out of their strongholds with our new partnership with some of the tribal sheikhs?
Or will they have regrouped and retrenched?
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm certainly not the only one who heard her say this, but I'm the only one that pointed out.
By the way, not only did I point it out, I predicted this months ago.
I warned everybody.
The dirty little secret is, Mrs. Clinton wins the White House, she's not getting out of Iraq.
They're not going to saddle themselves with defeat.
She sounds like George W. Bush here.
The only person in the drive-by media who has picked up on this is David Brooks today in the New York Times.
And his point is that if Mrs. Clinton can sound like George W. Bush in the midst of a primary campaign where she's got to please the wacko-kook fringe and the Democrat blogosphere, Brooks' point is they may not be all that powerful after all.
It may not be.
His point is she's got to be a centrist to win.
These guys, conservatives of the New York Times, love the center.
Everybody inside of Beltway is just in love with the center.
But he's the only guy that even referenced this.
This simply amazing.
Mrs. Clinton flip-flopping every day when she's talking about being president as opposed to talking as a senator.
She has a totally different view on the Middle East.
So that was the one thing I contrasted yesterday.
She revealed her real war strategy.
The second profundity was the president of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger, accidentally revealing that he knows that we are at war with terrorists and that it is crucial to the security of this country.
I haven't seen too many people react.
I don't know if hardly anybody react at all to what he said.
They're still debating such things as why did Mahmoud say there aren't any homosexuals in Iran.
We're going to get to that.
Chris Matthews tried to explain it last night.
It is funny.
They don't have any because when they find them, they kill them.
They execute them.
Just like they execute women for looking the wrong way out of the burqa.
Now, this guy is invited to speak, and everybody talks about it as a free speech issue.
It wasn't a free speech issue because nobody in this country, under the First Amendment, folks, has the right to be heard.
Everybody confuses the right to free speech with the right to be heard.
Nobody has the right to be heard.
He was under no obligation, the president of Columbia, to invite Mahmoud Achmadine Zad.
And so, you know, a lot of things happen.
He got some threats from alumni and others are going to cut off funding when it stopped making donations.
So he had to go out.
I'm sure he just wanted some attention for his school, thought he'd be applauded in liberal circles for his openness and free speech devotion.
By the way, there's no free speech at the Academy in this country anyway.
Larry Summers fired at Harvard for what he had to say about women and men and the way they do their test results in math and science.
The same Larry Summers, who was a Treasury Secretary for Clinton, the same Larry Summers, who was disinvited to speak at UC Davis last week because the female faculty out there PMS over the whole thing.
Freedom of speech, give me a break.
There's no freedom of speech in the academy.
There's no freedom of speech in the American left.
That's why we have political correctness so they won't have to be bothered hearing what they don't want to hear.
They're more, I mean, the same Columbia University, which forced the Minuteman speaker off the stage and Stanford University, the Hoover Institution out there, wants to hire Rumsfeld.
And faculty at Stanford's going, no, we can't have a murdering tyrant warmonger like Rumsfeld on our campus.
Wall Street Journal editorializes about this today.
So don't give me this free speech business.
Here's the main problem with having Mahmoud Achmadinezad speak at your university or anywhere in this country.
You ought to see the way the Iranian media is treating his speech.
He was greeted with multiple standing ovations.
The students loved him.
He told the American students that Iran wants no war, that they have nothing but love in their country.
Did not mention the gay remarks.
Didn't mention anything that Lee Bollinger said to him.
And so it serves Mahmoud's purposes and the Middle East purposes, pure propaganda.
That's why he shouldn't have been invited.
We can talk about how good Bollinger was.
We can talk about how rotten Ahmadinezad was.
Point is, he shouldn't have been invited.
Nobody was obligated to invite him.
And once he showed up, he had no right to be heard.
Of course, the drive-bys were all over this and loving it.
But the bottom line is, in addition to Mrs. Clinton revealing her real war strategy in that introduction of Ahmadinezad yesterday by Lee Bollinger, we found out that the Academy has people in it that actually do sound just like George W. Bush and think the same things that George W. Bush does and the rest of us think about the national security threat that we face as posed by Islamofascist terrorists.
And yet, where has this been for the last five years?
Where has this been for the last four years?
Is it in the classrooms at Columbia?
Doubt it.
But what did he do?
He revealed that he knows that we are at war with terrorists.
So in these two things, Mrs. Clinton and Lee Bollinger, the left, Mrs. Clinton, a presidential candidate, this guy running Columbia, just took the mask off, took all the camouflage off.
They blew the lid on their cover.
And we found out what they really think.
The third profundity yesterday, Mrs. Clinton accidentally revealed her health care plan is a phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and roller thing because she said that it's not for illegals.
Well, not true because she also said last week that in order to go to a job interview, you have to prove you have health insurance.
But if illegals aren't going to be able to be insured, then they're not going to theoretically be able to get a job.
We also have some fascinating news on health care and health deteriorating in Great Britain.
There's no evidence anywhere in the world to suggest that anything like Mrs. Clinton's plan would work.
And yet nobody is analyzing it other than on this program in a serious way.
Nobody is pointing out the fallacies, the hypocrisy of either Mrs. Clinton on the war or Lee Bollinger on the war.
And the fourth profundity yesterday, and we are going to illustrate it with audio sound bites today.
Mahmoud Ahmadinezad on stage at Columbia, mouthing, rattling off Democrat Party talking points, just as he did Sunday night on 60 Minutes.
And what we're going to do today, folks, you don't want to miss this.
We got statements made by Ahmadinezad, and we have similar statements made by various Democrats.
From Russ Feingold to Dick Turbin to John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, by the way, the haughty John Kerry.
And we don't just sit here and make these assertions.
My gosh, he sounds just like a Democrat.
We are going to show you how Mahmoud Ahmadinezad and Bin Laden, they sound exactly like Democrats.
Talking about Katrina Sunday night on 60 Minutes?
And Ebu Grab, he got mad at his interrogator, Scott Pelley of CBS.
Now, a confession from me, ladies and gentlemen, deep down, your host, that would be me, has as much braggadocio as he does mistresses in every state out there.
But I have to tell you, finally, Dawn's laughing when I mention this.
I have to tell you, I am really proud of yesterday's program, and I am even prouder.
I will often say this, that I'm proud of a program.
Ask Mr. Sturdley.
Most of the time after a program, I'll focus on gee what I could have done better.
Yesterday, I was proud of that program beginning to end.
Even prouder today, because a day later, you still cannot find anything that happened on this program, any analysis, any truthful analysis on this program.
You cannot find this stuff anywhere on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, The Washington Post, or the LA Times.
In fact, I think some Ann Applebaum in the New York Times has a column where she talks about Ahmadinezad being a great Democrat with a small D, not missing the whole, whole point of his appearance yesterday at Columbia.
Quick time out here, folks.
Off to our rousing start.
By the way, we don't need to go to the doctor as often now, according to the latest research.
Eight hours of sleep is too much.
You get too much, you'll kill you.
If you get not enough sleep, it'll kill you.
We're going to die, folks.
We are going to die.
Lots coming up.
Don't vanish.
Stay where you are.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh, as usual.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Get a load of some of these global warming stack headlines today.
Clothesline regulation hangs the environment out to dry.
This is in Benned Oregon.
It's about a woman who hung her clothes out to dry to save energy.
And now she's facing legal action because it's an upscale neighborhood and they don't want clothes hanging out there in the backyard.
She's just trying to save the planet to make herself feel good, not use the dryer.
Fertilizing oceans with iron may combat climate change.
Can't wait to talk about this.
Rapeseed biofuel produces more greenhouse gas than oil or petrol.
Think corn here.
We've caused a food panic in Mexico and Italy and Germany.
And for what?
Only to make matters worse.
But we're not supposed to ever examine the results of liberal do-gooderness.
No, no, no.
We're only supposed to examine their intentions and their good hearts.
You got this?
The Amazon rainforest, more resilient during a drought, the Amazon rainforest, also known as the jungle, greened.
It grew faster and absorbed more CO2, confounding another global warming month.
In a drought, it got greener.
It exposed and absorbed more CO2.
Yes, the details are coming up.
World leaders tell U.S. to put climate before budget.
And the United Nations is proposing an international court to try ecological crimes on the basis that nature should have a right to take us to court.
And the United Nations should establish such a kid-you-not, folks, all in the global warming stack coming up.
Right now, time for who said it?
Mahmoud Ahmadinezad and which Democrat here yesterday in New York City at Columbia is a portion of Mahmoud Ahmadinezad's remark.
By creating non-existent enemies, for example, and an insecure atmosphere, they try to control all in the name of combating insecurity and terrorism.
That's Mahmoud yesterday.
Here's John Kerry, July 24th of this year.
The president is trying to scare the American people into believing that al-Qaeda is the rationale for continuing the war in Iraq.
Should we go to this Mrs. Clinton sound bite again?
John Kerry, July 24th.
Said the president trying to scare the American people into believing al-Qaeda is a rationale for continuing the war in Iraq.
Grab number eight.
Listen to what Mrs. Clinton again said last Sunday, contrasted to how she's so far off the page with the standard Democrat line.
You know, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals and make pledges because I don't know what I'm going to inherit, George.
I don't know, and neither do any of us know, what will be the situation in the region.
How much more aggressive will Iran have become?
What will be happening in the Middle East?
How much more of an influence will the chaos in Iraq have in terms of what's going on in the greater region?
Will we have pushed al-Qaeda in Iraq out of their strongholds with our new partnership with some of the tribal sheikhs?
Or will they have regrouped and retrenched?
Bite me.
Bite me, Mrs. Clinton.
You know something, folks?
This is, I know I interrupted my own format here for back and forth with Mahmoud and Democrats.
When you listen to Kerry, the president trying to scare the American people.
Is he going to now say that Mrs. Clinton is trying to scare the American people as she's running for office?
So here's Mahmoud creating non-existent enemies in an insecure atmosphere.
They try to control all in the name of combating insecurity and terrorism.
Kerry, the president trying to scare the American people into believing that al-Qaeda is the rationale for continuing the war in Iraq.
Here's more Mahmoud from Colombia yesterday.
They do not respect the privacy of their own people.
They tap telephone calls and try to control their people.
Russ Feingold, May 8th, 2006.
The president violating the law by authorizing illegal domestic wiretapping.
Well, there you have it.
Example of Mahmoud Ahmadinezad on the same page with Democrat Senator, this case, Russ Feingold.
Here's more.
Mahmoud Ahmadinezad from Colombia yesterday.
Palestine is an old wound, as old as 60 years.
For 60 years, these people are displaced.
For 60 years, these people are being killed.
For 60 years, on a daily basis, there's conflict and terror.
For 60 years, innocent women and children are destroyed and killed by helicopters and airplanes that break the house over their heads.
Jimmy Carter on the Tonight Show, December 11th, 2006.
In Palestinian territory, there's horrible persecution of the Palestinians who live on their own land.
They have occupied the land.
They have confiscated.
They have colonized it.
And they pushed Palestinians away from their homes, away from their pastures, away from their fields, cut down the olive trees, and severely persecuted the Palestinians.
They're pastures in their fields.
So once again, Ahmadinezad parrots a prominent Democrat, Jimmy Carter.
And let's go to Mahmoud Ahmadinezad on 60 Minutes Sunday Night.
He's being interviewed here by Scott Pelley, and he doesn't like Scott Pelley's questions.
He says he feels like he's being interrogated by the CIA.
And then he says this.
This is not Guantanamo Mobe.
This is not a Baghdad prison.
This is not a secret prison in Europe.
This is not Abu Khora.
This is Iran.
I'm the president of this country.
Senator Durbin, Dick Durbin, floor of the Senate, June 14th, 2005.
If I read this to you and didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime, Paul Potter, others, that had no concern for human beings.
Sadly, that's not the case.
This was the action of Americans in treatment of their own prisoners.
Right.
And so we wonder, you know, well, these statements are being made and we criticize these Democrats.
Look, you're just giving the enemy talking points.
You're sounding just like them.
And here come the enemy.
They don't have to say anything.
Just parrot what the Democrats in this country are saying.
And we can come up with many more examples.
Listen to this from the Islamic Republic News Agency.
Despite entire U.S. media objections, the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scheduled address at Columbia, he gave his lecture and answered students' questions on Monday afternoon amid standing ovation of the audience and had attended the hall where the Iranian president was to give his lecture as of early hours of the day.
Ahmad Dinijad said that Iran is not going to attack any country in the world.
Before his address, the Colombia Chancellor in a brief address told the audience they would have the chance to hear Iran's stands as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke.
That's why he shouldn't have been invited.
Here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
All right, your host was brought up again on television last night by the, you know, these people at MSNBC are just the, they're just, you know, they're warts on the back end of a hog.
I mean, no, they're really trying, but it's pathetic.
It just.
Here, I'll give you an example.
You know, they're all upset here because the moveon.org people got called on the betray us ad.
And they're just, they're beside themselves over this.
And they're upset that, by the way, Rasmussen poll out today, 23 percent actually came out yesterday, 23 percent of Americans approved of the moveon.org ad in the New York Times.
58 percent disapprove of it.
It failed.
It bombed miserably.
Moveon.org has now offered or has paid the difference so that they were charged a full rate.
The New York Times come out and after two weeks admitted that it was a political in-kind donation.
Their excuses for this are just pathetic.
They were just advancing their own agenda.
Everybody knew it, and the ad didn't work.
It bombed miserably.
And of course, the left had high hopes for this ad.
They had high hopes they're going to destroy Petraeus, destroy Bush, and the exact opposite happened.
So now they're out there trying to say, well, you know, it wasn't move on that first came up with the word betraeus.
Where was the outrage when Rush Limbaugh said this about Republican Senator Chuck Hagel over one of the senators' stances on Iraq?
Limbaugh said, by the way, we had a caller call, couldn't stay on the air, got a new name for Senator Hagel, Nebraska.
We got General Petraeus, and we got Senator Betraus, new name for Senator Hagel.
Now they're trying to say, I invented the name.
And MoveOn was just copying me.
Well, of course, I get everything started in this country.
Ask Donovan McNabb.
But they're trying to say, hey, hey, the homewood moveon.org limbaugh started it.
They had a congressperson on last night, Marsha Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, and they ambushed her over the death of a soldier in Iraq who they claim was from her district that she didn't know about.
Turns out he was not.
I have a chance to read this whole thing.
I don't think that the dead soldier was from her district, but Dead Soldier was not from her district, but they had accused her of not knowing the name and circumstances of an 18-year-old soldier that died from her district.
She didn't know who it was.
And Schuster just really piled up and was mean and cruel.
It was everything liberals claim they're not.
I don't know what's happened to David Schuster.
He used to be okay when he was at Fox.
He's gotten over there, drinking the Kool-Aid at Mess NBC.
I guess trying to make a difference.
They're trying real hard over there.
Okay, so now I, your host, the doctor of democracy, I now am responsible for the whole name Betraeus being in the public dialogue.
So let's move on.
That was David Schuster, by the way, that bite that you just heard.
Let's move on now.
This is the same guy Schuster hosting the Chatchworth Osborne Jr. show on the PSMM.
He said would be Tucker Carlson.
And Schuster says to Marsha Blackburn, Republican Tennessee, you want to take this opportunity to condemn what Rush Limbaugh said about Chuck Hagel.
What I want to do is talk about the New York Times.
And probably Rush Limbaugh could have gotten by without saying that.
Could have gotten by.
It was wrong, wasn't it?
He was referencing what a caller said.
Right, but it was wrong for a caller or for Rush Limbaugh to call Chuck Hagel Senator Betraeus.
But Rush Limbaugh did not go in and buy an ad and place it with the New York Times and get a special preferred rate.
So there's a difference between buying an ad in the New York Times and Rush Limbaugh hearing something that he likes to hear from one of his viewers and repeating it on the air.
What's the distinction?
Rush Limbaugh should not have done that, but Rush Limbaugh did not go out and buy an ad and circumvent the New York Times.
Anyway, don't hold it against her.
She's a good congresswoman.
She just got sandbagged.
She thought she was being brought on to discuss other things, and they ambushed her on a bunch of, including, she had no business defending me.
She doesn't have to defend me.
She could have said that easily.
I don't apologize for anything anyway.
I'm not going to take it back.
I was talking about Senator Hagel as a, in the Betraeus sense, not betraying a country, not betraying the mission.
The whole moveon.org ad, the Betraeus thing was, the whole thing was he's lying to us.
And the whole Democrat Party in the House and the Senate, when they interrogated him, told him up front, we're not going to believe a thing you say.
We're not going to believe one word that you say.
He's a decorated four-star general.
He's sitting there in full-dress uniform.
He has come to give them a report that they demanded.
Congress demanded the report.
He's giving it.
They're calling him before he says a word a liar.
They're undermining his mission.
They're undermining the troops under his command.
Chuck Hagel is a senator.
Chuck Hagel is fair game.
I was regarding and talking about Chuck Hagel in terms of his loyalty to the Republican Party, not anything to do with whether or not he's selling out the country and investing in defeat for the country.
I was talking about him vis-a-vis his position in the Republican Party.
It was a political comment.
If he wants to respond politically, he can.
The general can't.
The general's mouth has to be shut.
He can't get into politics.
The Democrats knew this.
So they can call him a liar all they want, and he can't do anything about it other than say every word I'm speaking here I wrote myself and nobody has cleared it.
But he can't get into the political game while in command and in uniform.
So anyway, it's funny.
I mean, these guys are just beside themselves making an issue out of nothing.
I don't have enough fingers nor hands to count over the 19 plus years the number of times little rowboats like David Schuster have attempted to sink me, a battleship, with a BB.
Over 19 years, they have given me everything.
They blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing.
You know the drill.
They have tried everything to discredit me with you and with the American people.
They've tried to destroy my reputation, President of the United States, making a racist joke at the White House correspondence dinner at my expense.
And it hasn't worked.
None of it has worked.
And these guys, instead of launching these silly little BBs that they think are going to hit home, better start asking themselves, how come their efforts don't work?
Because there is an answer to it.
And it's an answer.
It could really help them in trying to get their little fledgling network some serious audience.
But they're not going to learn it.
They're liberals, and they applaud themselves at the end of such a text.
Yeah, we really got him next time.
Yeah.
Again, never examining the results of what they do, just the intentions.
Here, by the way, just as a reminder, David Schuster, obsessed with my attire the day I interviewed Carl Rove on this program, they played video from the DittoCam and audio of some of the interview, and this is what David Schuster had to say.
There's Rush Limbaugh smoking a nice cigar, wearing a golf shirt.
There was another video where you could see the nice watch.
Who's the snob?
Who's the snob?
I had called these people a bunch of effect snobs, and Schuster was throwing it back at me.
So there you have it.
Your host, once again, the focal point of a major controversy in this country.
By the way, a new Gallup poll suggests last week's intense schedule of congressional testimony and media appearances by David Petraeus enhanced his image among Americans.
Not only did Petraeus' name ID increase significantly in a matter of just a week, but his image also became more favorable than it was just before the week's activities.
This is a Gallup poll.
This occurred in a contentious environment, included the publication of a full-page ad in the New York Times calling him Petraeus.
According to the September 14th through 16th poll, 61% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Petraeus.
22% have an unfavorable opinion.
18% say they're too stupid to know who he is.
So they didn't want to rate him.
So we combine this and Erasmusen.
Only 23% approve of the moveon.org ad, 58% disapprove.
And in Gallup, 61% like Petraeus.
I would say that the Democrats bombed big time with both of these stunts and, as usual, are now trying to take the heat off themselves by blaming your host.
Back.
It's a quick little story here before we grab a couple of phone calls.
This is from the Politico.com Josh Kreshauer writing.
Top Republicans are privately bracing for the possibility that they can lose additional House seats in next year's elections as a result of untimely retirements, ongoing scandals, and unexpectedly gloomy fundraising forecasts, comma.
According to several members and aides, you know, this is a problem that could be gone away.
It could get dispensed with overnight.
The sooner Republican House members start sounding and acting like conservatives, the sooner the money is going to start flowing in in amounts that they're not going to know what to do with.
It ain't hard, you guys.
It really isn't hard.
But you sit out there and start talking about how we can insure every child for health care and you start trying to outlive the libs and the money's not going to come in.
It's not what people want.
By the way, it was just a couple of days ago, I had the story in the stack, but I didn't get to it.
It was just a couple of days ago, and it was the Washington Post, that the Democrats are worried that they will lose seats if Hillary drags them down because in several swing districts, House districts, she runs poorly, even though she's doing well nationally.
She runs poorly in some of these swing districts.
So she might collect enough electoral votes or whatever to win, but she might be a drag on Democrats in swing districts in the House.
And of course, there was some discussion of that in the drive-bys, but they quickly dispensed with it as something that's not really applicable.
But it is.
But this is not hard.
If the president would just enforce immigration laws and veto the spending, as he promises going to do, support for him would go up, and I think people would feel a little bit more comfortable contributing to the GOP.
None of this is hard.
Maybe hard to do, but it isn't hard to figure out.
Just be conservative.
Chicago, we start with you, Nick, on the phones today.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
As you've rightly pointed out, Mrs. Clinton is making contradictory statements on policy, i.e., no free health care for illegal immigrants, and now let's stay in Iraq.
She's being disingenuous.
So, Maharashi, who is the real Mrs. Clinton?
Where does Mrs. Lockbox really stand?
I can see why some people might think this is a good question.
On the Iraq answer.
And by the way, have you seen the story to set my answer to the question?
Have you seen the story, Bush quietly advising Hillary Clinton top Democrats?
Have you seen that?
This is one of the most misleading headlines.
I saw this headline.
I said, what the hell now?
I felt like when I was out there in Nebraska, and I opened up the iPhone and I saw that Greenspan said we went to war in Iraq for oil.
I said, what the hell is this?
And then I read the story, and it makes all the sense in the world.
In fact, it may even be one of the reasons Mrs. Clinton answered Stephanopoulos the way she did on Sunday.
Essentially, there's a book.
Bill Salmon's got a book coming out.
He's a White House correspondent for The Examiner.
And he says that the president's quietly providing back-channel advice to Hillary, urging her to modulate her rhetoric so she can effectively prosecute the war in Iraq if she's elected president.
In an interview in this book by Bill Salmon, called the evangelical president, the chief of staff in the White House, Josh Fulton, said that Bush has been urging candidates, don't get yourself too locked in where you stand right now, because if you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically, especially if it's a Democrat.
The president wants to create the conditions where a Democrat not only will have the leeway, but the obligation to see this out.
And what he's basically doing is saying, look, I understand you guys are playing politics.
I understand you're running for the Democrat nomination.
I understand who your base is.
But if one of you happens to win, you're going to be sitting where I sit.
And you're going to have a totally different view of this, and you know it.
And you'd better not get yourself into positions now where you have to take a losing position once you become president because you've campaigned promised to do it.
And so, bam, Mrs. Clinton totally changes her tone in the answer to Stephanopoulos.
Now, I don't know if Bush's answer or his back-channel efforts had any effect on Mrs. Clinton.
Because I think, you know, I've said before we learned of this, because I know, I mean, this is not hard to figure out.
If a Democrat's elected president, they're not pulling us out of a rock.
It could be John Kerry.
They're not pulling us out of a rock.
They're not going to do it.
So in the sense of who is Mrs. Clinton, in that answer, she was being honest.
They're not going to pull us out of a rock.
However, the real Hillary Clinton is a committed leftist, a committed socialist.
Look at her rhetoric.
We had it yesterday.
Shared responsibility, take things away from people, make life more equal, that government should be the agent of change in matters like this.
She's bad news.
She's bad news all the way around.
There's no two ways about it.
There's nothing centrist about her.
There's nothing moderate about her.
And she's learned from her take it all in one big bite mistakes from the first Clinton term.
The worst thing about this is it put two of them back in there.
Do we want to go through that soap operating?
It's up to you, folks, I guess.
And in Fort Myers, Florida, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Rush Mega Dittos from across the state.
Thank you.
I noticed something when you played that Hillary clip yesterday when she was on Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
And she said that we're going to have to continue working with our partners, the Sheiks in the Anbar province, which directly contradicts her senator, her colleague there, Chucky Schemer, who said that the Sheiks are doing this on their own in spite of our efforts over there in Anbar.
That's the point.
This was the reason for the profundity yesterday.
She totally sold all those people out.
She totally sold them out for reality.
Now, it's not being reported.
Not a lot is being made of it in the drive-by media.
It's cover her tracks time.
I'd say because it's easier to do that than her behind.
But I'm telling you, folks, this was made just like the president of Colombia.
Coming out and admitting he knows that we are at war with terrorists, and he knows that we're at war with Iran, and he knows that they pose great threats, and he knows it is serious.
So the entire foundation of the Liberal Democrat Party's reason for existing the last four years was just thrown upside down by Hillary Clinton and Lee Bollinger at Columbia University.
Back in a moment.
All right, we have some more Mahmoud Ahmad Dinizad soundbites from New York University and from the National Press Club.
By the way, you need to go to rushlimbaugh.com.
We've done a side-by-side Mahmoud on C-SPAN and what it would look like if they had bin Laden, Democrat Pakistan on Democrat al-Qaeda on C-SPAN.
