January 23, 2008, Wednesday, Hour #2
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
Chief Wagawaga L. Rushball of the El Conservo tribe.
Still working at casino application.
Here the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Nice to have you along.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Peter Wayner today, National Review Online, has a uh a fabulous piece.
We have linked to it at the top of our page at Rush Limbaugh.com.
The title of it says it all.
It's about me, by the way.
Uh this is Diminished Power.
And uh things he says, it's it's very, very well done piece.
Thank you, Peter.
And he says, how can it be said that Rush has suffered diminished power if everybody's writing about him every day?
So that's there.
Uh I we're gonna get the political uh stack here, but there's still lots of stuff in this other stack like this.
New York Times op-ed contributor, who his name is Berman Len Berman, B-U-R-M-A-N.
I don't know who he is because it didn't print the second page of this folly.
Uh so I don't know what his I don't know what he does.
Probably an economics expert, but he said the best way.
Here, let me get a headline.
I uh just because this is Yeah, make the tax cuts work.
And how do you make the tax cuts work?
You get rid of them.
You increase taxes.
His theory is that the higher taxes are, the harder we will all work in order to stay even with our net income when we have the tax cuts.
And that's the fastest way to bring us out of this quote unquote uh pseudo recession.
Uh there's also you saw the uh uh Academy Award nominations, not one message film, not one Iraq film on the list.
Um it's it's interesting.
A lot of people never seen half the movies on the list.
They're really obscure, some of them are.
But on we go to the political uh content of the program will do the Democrats in this hour.
Los Angeles Times has a um a story here today by Dan Moraine, longtime patron, maybe a problem for Obama.
Hillary Robin Clinton dropped the name of Obama's Chicago patron into the South Carolina debate Monday night, putting in front and center.
A tangled relationship that has the potential to undermine Obama's image as a candidate whose ethical standards are distinctly higher than those of his main opponent, Antoine Tony Rezco, an entrepreneur who made a fortune in pizza parlors, Chinese restaurants, and real estate, goes on trial next month on federal charges of extortion, influence peddling, and conspiracy.
All right.
Fine and dandy, all well and good.
And Hillary did bring this up, this after Obama correctly reminded people that she sat as a corporate lawyer on the Walmart board.
So the LA Times does this huge expose of this Resco guy.
But no problems with Norman Shue, right?
No problems with all the indicted fundraisers and friends of the Clintons.
What was the total amount of news coverage that Norman Shue got?
Twelve minutes?
Maybe 13.
But now they're gonna do this giant puff piece or hit piece on Obama's patron.
They found one Obama patron.
If you look at the Clinton list of donors and fundraisers, you'll you'll find more than a gazillion of them, and they're more than just patrons.
You know, it would be quite the sad irony, ladies, and I this is leading up to a point, by the way.
And that is uh a theme that I have explained and expanded upon previously.
The Clinton machine and the Democrat Party machine is out to destroy the uppity black guy.
That's what this is all about.
Democrat Party is at war with itself over race.
Now, the Republican Party's at war with itself too, but that's over philosophy.
The Democrats are at war with themselves over race, and Obama is the victim.
And it would be quite the sad irony if Obama is turned into the ethically troubling politician in his race against of all people the Clintons.
This would prove, if we need proof, uh just how far in the tank the media are for the Clintons.
Have you noticed, you watch these debates if you watch the debate on Monday night from South Carolina.
Mrs. Clinton is backed by a many of the old guard blacks.
The John Lewises, the all there, the Charlie Wrangles, Andrew Young, all of the old guard blacks, all the old guard civil rights movement blacks are backing Mrs. Clinton.
And they aren't offended in the least.
This is crucial to understand.
These old guard civil rights black leaders and congressmen are not at all offended in the least over these racial attacks on Barack Obama.
In fact, they chime in.
And when Mrs. Clinton engages in these attacks and they are present, these old guard guys start applauding.
And here's the reason why.
Barack Obama is not part of their inner circle.
The old guard blacks, the Reverend Jacksons, the Reverend Sharptons, the John Lewises, most of the Congressional Black Caucus, they don't want Barack Obama to win.
The old guard black leadership sees Obama as an upstart who challenges their power.
He has not followed their path.
He is an outsider to them.
He has not been down for the struggle.
Well, I know Jackson supports Obama, but that's mitigated by the fact that his wife supports Hillary.
And the Reverend Jackson needs someplace to sleep when he's in Chicago.
And so he's not you see him out there doing much for Obama?
Do you see you see the uh uh Reverend Dax coming to Obama's defense as the Clinton machine makes racial attack after racial attack in Obama?
So don't give me this Jesse Jackson's for him.
Maybe so, but he's not doing anything for him.
He might have announced some months ago that he was for Obama, but that it doesn't mean anything.
Because Barack has not been down for the struggle, as they define it.
Their power, the old black guard guys, their power comes from the Democrat machine.
Their power comes from the Democrat Party.
None of these members of the of the old guard, the black civil rights guy, none of these guys would be anything if not for the grant of power from the Democrat Party.
It's a two-way street.
These guys deliver votes, these guys follow through on the agenda, and the Democrats give them a seat at the table of power.
Barack Obama will owe them nothing.
Barack Obama may as well be Clarence Thomas to Mrs. Clinton, to Bill Clinton to the old the the civil rights leaders and elected officials from the old black guard.
But despite this, Obama is getting the black vote overwhelmingly.
And you know what?
Obama is proving that he is the voice of the future in that community.
And the Clintons hate it.
And John Lewis hates it, and Charles Wrangle hates it, and all these other guys who will, you know, Barack will not owe them anything, and so they can't afford for him to win.
And so they're getting even more concerned about Obama.
The Uncle Bills.
That's what we call them, not Uncle Tom's, the Uncle Bills, the guys selling out their own guy, their own race.
Just stay in the good graces of Bill Clinton, the Uncle Bill.
That's all they are.
John Lewis is an Uncle Bill.
Charlie Wrangle is an Uncle Bill.
Andrew Young is an Uncle Bill.
They know it.
So they're getting concerned about Obama and his appeal to blacks.
He is showing how little power these old activists have over the black community, and this will further isolate them.
I mean, Obama he cleaned.
Look at what happened in Michigan.
Seventy percent of the blacks there showed up in an irrelevant Democrat primary and voted uncommitted.
You watch what happens in South Carolina.
He's going to clean up with the black vote.
Interestingly enough, the Democrats are excited about this.
The Clintons are excited.
The Democrats, the Clintons, I should say, have their own Southern strategy, folks.
We discussed this in very brief detail yesterday.
What's going to happen is if this holds true, if Obama cleans up with the black vote, if he wins, period, and cleans up with the black vote in South Carolina on Saturday.
That's fine with Clintons.
Just fine.
Because what'll then happen is a bunch of people at work, it'll never come out of the mouths of the Clintons.
You'll be Terry McAuliffe or uh this Howard Wolfson guy, and they will casually, and it will not make a big statement about it, uh, but they'll get it, they'll get it into the news media cycle.
Well, yeah, we we kind of expected that.
Um so many blacks in South Carolina.
Well, of course we expected that.
What are they saying when they say that?
Well, of course, there's a lot of blacks in South Carolina.
What they're doing is scaring whites.
The whole point of letting Obama win South Carolina and ceding the state, she's not there.
Clinton's running around the churches and so forth there, but she's not.
The whole point is to allow them their Southern strategy after South Carolina going into Super Tuesday.
Yeah, yeah, but look at all the blacks there.
They think, and on the old Southern strategy, this is what they used to apply to Republicans.
They're doing it.
They want to say to white liberal voters and independents in these separate these February 5th states, well, you know, look at this is it's designed to galv and Hispanics too.
It's designed to galvanize whites in greater numbers to vote for Hillary and women as well.
He's proving Obama is proving that he is the voice of the future in that community.
They're getting even more concerned about it.
Uh he doesn't, he he really is showing how little power these old black guard guys have.
She's got a problem, too.
I don't mean to make them sound invincible here.
She got a real problem if she's nominated, and that's who to pick as her running mate.
Now, this is everybody just speculates idly.
Well, who will Hillary choose?
It's not that simple.
If she picks, look if she picks her as a running mate uh uh, you know, Hispanics are voter voting for her in bigger numbers than blacks right now.
And there's a war go as a sub war to Democrat Party between blacks and Hispanics over who's the most valid, qualified, deserving minority.
And Hispanics outnumber them.
And by the way, you liberal blacks, you think this is by accident?
It's called illegal immigration.
The Democrats wanted to sustain it, call it amnesty.
Why?
They wanted all those Hispanic voters.
You think they care about you as much anymore as they did?
No, they never did, really.
Now there are more Hispanics than there are blacks, and then there's a little war going on where that's concerned.
Hispanics are voting for Mrs. Clinton in bigger numbers than blacks are.
So if she picks Richardson, for example, to be her VEP, that's gonna tick off a lot of blacks who will see it as a slight to them, especially given Obama's second place finish.
And blacks gonna say, hey, our guy came in second, would have come in first if you hadn't, you know, been a bunch of sleaze balls, you just can't cast him aside, and at least she does for an Hispanic, they're gonna be a wall.
If she picks Obama, which is doubtful because she hates him, uh, but if she does for some reason, that's gonna tick off Hispanics, or at least some of them, who have been helping her win in some of these states.
So what's happening here, they campaign on division, and then they have to have to deal with it in the end in the general.
They're dividing the party, and they're dividing Clintons are, and they're dividing it on the basis of race.
And somehow they got to put it back together in November, the general election.
Now, she's she's gonna get the black vote in November.
But the question is, will she get enough of it?
Will some of it get so mad, some of them get somebody to stay home?
But make no mistake about this.
The Democrat Party is now at war with itself, not over philosophy, but over race.
There's much more on this.
If she picks a white guy, uh, depends on who the white guy is.
She picked That's what I'm saying she got a dilemma here over who to pick.
She might just say, I'm gonna do both.
I'm gonna be president and vice president so that if something happens to me when I get sick, I can appoint myself to be president.
Okay, the Democrat Party is at war with itself, not over philosophy, but over race.
And there are two people that you can thank for this, the Clintons.
You see, the Clintons learned racial politics in Arkansas, and they brought it to Washington, and now they're using it to try and win Bill Clinton a third term, which is what this election really is.
And they're gonna use race in the primary and then use it against the Republicans in the general, all the while claiming it's their opponents who are using race.
It's a very hateful tactic, but that's what they're doing, and everybody knows it.
But nobody has the guts to call them on it at a Democrat Party, uh in the drive-by media or what have you.
I mean, you've got you've got people like Tom Brokaw talking about me and dogma and partisanship.
Why doesn't Broca challenge the Democrats and the media and specific the Clintons to cut out their racist tactics?
I this is rhetorical.
I know it's not gonna happen.
I'm mentioning it to you.
All they can focus on is how the Republican Party is falling apart and limbo's losing his influence.
Limbo's no longer effective McCain running.
You know the you know what Michelle Morkin's got a great point today.
You know why the Libs love him well, you know what the Libs love McCann, I'm getting ahead of myself here.
He gives them cover to rip conservatives.
They can support a Republican and still hate conservatives.
I'm paraphrasing that, but it's an excellent point.
But these guys, they go on the Sunday shows and they talk about me, which I'm flattered, but why don't they, you know, that they're promoting the death of conservatism, the ascendancy of John McCain.
Why are we not getting a long discussions about the race war in the Democrat Party being waged by the Clintons on the Sunday shows or the op-ed page of the New York Times?
What is clear to me, uh ladies and gentlemen, is that racism is not dead in the Democrat Party.
It's got a long history of it.
And if a black politician dares to challenge a Democrat National Committee, the Democrat establishment, the Clinton machine, that black politician is smeared.
He is accused of being unethical.
He's accused of lying, he is accused of whatever it takes to stop him.
The fact is the Clintons have no record of promoting blacks beyond where they've been in the Democrat Party.
They have stomped on any black who dares to challenge them or their favorite candidates, and they're now doing it to Barack Obama.
I can give you the names.
We go through this list of names constantly.
Carl McCall in New York, who ran for governor, was abandoned.
Maynard Jackson wanted to lead a DNC.
I could even give you Hillary Clinton.
If the Clintons and the Democrats were honest about their wailing and whining and moaning about the civil rights movement, would they not step aside and be promoting Obama for the good of America, for the good of race relations, for the good of civil rights?
Yeah, if they're being honest, but they're never gonna do that.
They don't want the race war to end, the race war that they started.
They don't want it to end.
It's another quiver or arrow in the quiver they can blame on Republicans.
Racial discrimination and racism in the United States, but it's the Clintons who have no record of promoting blacks beyond where they've been in the Democrat Party.
And by the way, neither Clinton has done anything that stands out as addressing the problems of the inner city.
They side with the National Education Association.
They promote other policies that put their power before the well-being of these communities.
Their vauded social programs have destroyed and ripped apart the black family.
They've not done anything.
And yet, they make it sound like their salvation and saviors.
In fact, while I'm at it, since I'm on this role, The Clintons nor the Democrats have done anything to deserve the support of single women or women at all.
This is something that's always amazed me.
Bill Clinton himself is a womanizer and a woman abuser for crying out loud.
Can you imagine what would happen if he were a Republican?
Mrs. Clinton is his co-conspirator in the abuse of women.
Hillary has been a facilitator of his abuse for decades.
You know, those bimbo eruptions, that that wasn't to protect the women, it was to protect Bill.
That was to destroy the women.
And Hillary loved getting even with all those pretty girls.
She loved it.
She's no victim.
She's a co-conspirator and a perpetrator.
Same with Hispanics.
The Clintons have no record of addressing that community in any particular way.
It's all a myth.
They're power politicians, they seek self-aggrandizement.
She, even more than him, seeks power to advance an agenda that's so alien to our tradition, it's frightening.
That's right, a man, a living legend, a way of life, a national treasure.
And uh general, all around good guy, harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
I can't find the story.
I I thought I thought I had it here in the Democrats stack.
You know, CNN posted a piece about the the tough choice that uh black women have in this election.
And the black women that saw it got so mad that they demanded CNN taking down it when it was the choice was to, oh gee, what are these black women gonna do?
Vote for the woman or vote for the black?
And the black women other women got so mad.
Why do you think we do this?
Why do you think we vote in the basis of groups?
Because you do, if you're a Democrat.
CNN were just trying to give you guys a little nudge.
Let's uh let's go to the audio sound bites.
We'll start uh here with Obama.
Uh, this is uh from Monday, was interviewed by BeliefNet politics editor Dan Gilgoff.
And Gilgoff asked Obama this question.
Do you agree that a Muslim in the Arab street could hate America less if they saw that you were elected?
Because of your faith background and your brushes with Islam in your past.
I don't think that it would change the minds of the hardcore ideologues of the Islamic militant movement.
You know, I think they would view me as a Christian and an infidel and a Westerner.
They wouldn't view me any differently, I think, than any other American president.
I do think that for the average Arab or Indonesian or Nigerian or Tunisian Muslim on the street, that my familiarity with their culture would have an impact.
I think that they would view America differently if I were president.
And that that is not just symbolic, that is something that could be used in a constructive way to open greater dialogue between the West and the Islamic world, and that ultimately could make us more safe.
Oh, Barry, please.
You know, you're starting to disappoint me here, uh, pal.
You don't want to go there on this question.
I mean, what what do we have here?
What we're being told now is that that uh we Republicans, we're gonna have to nominate Republicans based on their acceptability to Democrats and the media.
And now we're going to elect presidents based on their acceptability to Muslims.
You know, if I had been Obama, I'm beginning to I like this guy.
I I mean personally I like this guy.
There are no difference in him, issue-wise than Hillary, but I like this guy.
But these these people throw these hanging curveballs, and he's whiffing.
If I'm Barack Obama and I know that the Clintons are out there push-polling on my middle name being Hussein, and if they're out there trying to, you know, give Bob Carey, I went to Madrasas and stuff, they're a secret Muslim.
You know, they're out there spreading this stuff and in mailings and push polling and so forth.
So I get a question from some clown at BeliefNet.
Do you agree that a Muslim in the Arab Street could throw I'm not answering.
What are we talking about?
I'm running for president of the United States, not the President of Saudi Arabia.
And just get rid of it.
Now the the another question is surfaced.
Are the Clintons getting into Bubba's or Barry's brain?
Uh and there are news stories out there.
They're getting to him.
And Mrs. Clinton thinks so.
Mrs. Clinton is saying so.
We're getting inside his head.
Um Wall Street Journal today with an editorial.
Is Barack Obama this clueless?
He can go back and remember the 90s and Reaganism.
But does he forget what the Clintons were all about?
Because the Clintons are now Clintoning him the way they did all of us back in the 90s, and he doesn't see it.
Barack, don't you understand what's happening to you here, pal.
You are being targeted for destruction by Clinton Inc., only you are being targeted because you are an uppity black man.
You're not being targeted because your policies are any different.
You're being targeted because you represent a threat to Mrs. Clinton's diabolical quest to reclaim power and her husband's perverted view for his thrills and and and Jills and all stuff when he gets back in.
They're toying with your head.
They're out there trying to destroy you.
They're doing it on the basis of race.
You it's for some point you just can't sit there and take this stuff.
Here's here's Obama.
This is on today's show today, and the co-host, Meredith Vieira, says, now former President Clinton's in South Carolina, probably reminding voters that during a Clinton presidency, the economy did very well.
By the way, Hillary's not there.
She's flown out to Los Angeles.
Probably give Ron Burkle a piece of her mind and then do up some campaning, campaigning on uh the Super Tuesday stage.
Now Clinton hung around South Carolina.
I think they've seated it, uh, but they don't want the blacks to think they have.
So Clinton's running around to churches and little communities going door to door, uh acting like the first black president.
But the polling data all shows, and of course, this can be off the off the charts once the returns come in, but these are black voters we're talking about, so the wilder effect is probably not a play here.
Um but they want they they they're I'm convinced they're hoping to lose South Carolina to a huge black vote going for Obama.
But they don't want to look like they don't care about it, so Clinton's left.
But Clinton is not doing things designed to appeal to a large number of blacks.
He's going door to door talking to them one and two at a time.
Uh so that they can say, hey, what do you mean, Limbaugh?
We didn't see that state, we didn't get it.
You just you can't get anything right when it comes.
Actually, you get everything right, but I can't say that.
You can't say that.
Limbo, we gave it our best shot in South Carolina.
Who better than the first black president go in there and try to win that state for my wife?
That's not what they want to happen.
Well, anyway, back to Meredith Vieira's question.
All right, Clinton's in there, he's running around South Carolina reminding voters that during a Clinton presidency the economy did very well.
During the debate on Monday, you brought up his name several times.
At one point saying that you can't tell who you're running against sometimes.
Uh it led some to say Barack has Bill on the brain.
Uh that guy's really getting to the Senator.
What is your response to that?
Is he getting to you?
He's not getting to me.
It's just that I think in the Clinton campaign, they have had former president Clinton delivering a bunch of inaccurate statements about my record.
So it naturally I've got to make sure that those are corrected.
I'm confident the American people are looking for a president they can trust.
And somebody who's talking to them in a straightforward way about how he or she is going to solve their problems.
You know, all we're talking about, I think, is the need for consistency.
Yeah.
An answer that lands with a what?
You know, sort of thud out there.
Is Clinton getting to your brain?
No, of course not.
Of course not.
I just want him to start telling the truth.
You know, Clinton's out there listening to this, oh man, this guy just doesn't get it.
Expecting me to tell the truth.
Um Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry.
Um, you know, the how's Barack supposed to go up against old Bill?
I think you um you take you take this question.
What's your response?
Is he getting to you?
No, no, he's not getting to me.
Uh, and then you don't talk about the inaccuracies, you don't you don't talk about all of this to the point of getting them straightened out.
What you say is I find it fascinating, Ms. Vieira, that my opponent and her husband have to lie about me in order to stand a chance of this election.
If anybody's getting into anybody's head, I am into their heads.
They thought they had this wrapped up.
They thought they were the candidates of inevitability.
And I've come along and I'm loved and adored when they are trust dis distrusted and despised.
So if anybody's gotten into anybody's head, it's me getting into their head.
Next question.
It's called offense.
Come on, Barry.
Uh meanwhile, slick Willie kept up the Obama attack.
Uh this is uh last night on the campaign trail.
Unidentified reporters says to Clinton, is Obama running against you or Hillary Clinton or both of you.
I thought he was right against me in Nevada for a while when he said the Republicans had the most of the new ideas and uh challenge the conventional wisdom in the nineties.
I thought we challenged the conventional wisdom in the nineties.
See now, for one, I think Clinton's telling the truth.
I think Clinton's got such a me-me-me narcissistic thing that when Obama talks about, you know, the Republicans back in the nineties, they're the ones that really had transformative ideas.
Uh Clinton can hear that.
Well, that SOB.
I mean, I'm the one uh I'm the one that redefined politics in 19.
What does he talk about Republicans?
I think he does take that personally, and I think he was running against me.
I think he was.
And he don't pay.
Now here's Obama's response to the Clinton attacks.
This is on the campaign trail.
Senator Clinton and President Clinton have been spending the last month attacking me in ways that are not accurate.
Senator Clinton announced while we were still in Iowa that this was going to be our strategy and called it the fun part of campaigning.
And I don't think it's the fun part, fudge the truth.
Barry, do you know how much you have in your arsenal you're not using?
And you can be make sure every word of what you would say about them would be the truth.
Again, at some point, you gotta stop calling attention.
They're lying about you.
The one thing you gotta understand, Mr. Obama, everybody knows the Clintons lie, and they don't care.
If they cared, there wouldn't be the Clintons today.
You have to understand people marvel at how they get away with it.
And it's happening to you now, and you saw I mean you weren't you know you know weren't tilling a farm back in the nineties.
You're paying attention to this stuff.
You have to know how they work.
Now that you're the target of it, you've got so much evidence.
They get on you about this resco guy, it's called Norman Shue.
It's called Charlie Tree, it's called a Buddhist nuns, it's called no controlling legal authority.
It's called I mean the list would take longer than I have here to go through.
You know, for every Rezco you've got in your life, it can't be too many of these, because you haven't in politics that long.
There gotta be ten or fifteen in the Clintons.
Now it doesn't help.
Some of the guys that Obama has out there speaking for him are some of the guys that you couldn't hear if they had a megaphone.
Tom Dashell, the puffster, and John Kerry.
John Kerry's out there saying, Oh, I'm not gonna let him get swift voted.
We're gonna deal with this when the time is right.
John, the time is now.
He's being swift voted now.
Well, we'll get to it with a toe.
Well, I'm not gonna let happen to him, what happened to me?
It isn't gonna John, it's happening.
Except in your case, that was the truth, they're lying about Barry.
They're dividing your own party by race.
Dashell's out there saying, uh, Tim, I am truly concerned, very, very concerned, over the divisions that are popping up in our party.
You know, Tim, it's all about family.
And I'm really concerned.
Yeah, you know, this is really here.
You want to hear Dashell?
You want to hear we got Dashell here.
This is uh conference call with reporters, the puffster talking to Jeff Earle of USA Today.
Uh and the question is on on the subject of President Clinton, do you think what he's doing is unpresidential or you know, dignified given his role as a party head?
I think that it's not presidential.
It's not uh in keeping with the image of a former president, and I'm frankly surprised that he is taking this approach.
That's a disappointment for many Democrats.
We're going to be releasing today a new organization, the South Carolina Truth Squad.
And our purpose is to respond forcefully to each and every one of these false accusations and set the record straight as quickly as we can.
That's the purpose of this true squad and our efforts this morning and from here on out.
Well, you're getting started here a little late here.
The other Clinton's work.
I can't believe you people don't know this.
Okay.
So the Clintons say that Barry had made love with two goats in Seattle when he was 18.
You guys start your research to find off it's true.
You say, no what, and here's all your evidence.
He was never in Seattle, he doesn't like goats.
By the time you get your response out to Clinton saying, by the way, it wasn't just two goats, it was a mule.
So then you start researching the mule.
And you found out he doesn't like mules and he still wasn't in Seattle.
The Clintons come back and say when he finished with the mule, he went and smoked and sold cocaine.
And he's gonna keep you running in circles on this stuff.
This is unbelievable.
You know, I'm just sitting here thinking about this audio sound bite that we just played from Tom Dashel.
As Clinton being undignified and unpresidential.
I think that's not uh presidential.
It's not in keeping with the image of a former president.
And I'm frankly surprised that he's taking this appropriate Come on, frankly surprised you cannot possibly be.
That's a disappointment for many Democrats.
It's another big one.
We're we're Tim, we're going to be releasing today a new organization, the South Carolina Truth Squad.
And our purpose is to respond forcefully.
No, no.
I said forcefully to each and every one of these false accusations and set the record straight as quickly as we can.
That's the purpose of this truth.
I have never heard these Democrats so inept and so incompetent when they ran against us.
When Dashell Dashel was Harry Reed on steroids.
These two guys, the most partisan guys in Washington, once George Mitchell left town started examining steroid use among baseball players.
I've never heard such milk toast, mealy mouthy, inconsequential attack rhetoric in my life.
We're gonna have a truth squad.
We're gonna get those reports out fast.
Phil in uh in Traver City, Michigan.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
This is Phil from Traver City, Michigan, where we uh could use a little bit of ro uh uh global warming right now.
Don't worry, it's out there.
Rush, a long time ago in college, I learned uh in Economics 101 that you tax what you want less of and you subsidize what you want more of.
And I've noticed that the Democrats in their current stimulus package, they want to extend unemployment benefits, and they want to extend food stamps, uh, suggesting that I guess they want more unemployment and they want uh more obese people.
They want they want more dependent people.
Those people vote for them.
This is liberalism one oh one.
You got the econ 101 right.
Liberalism 101, create as many dependent sponges as you can, who have no recourse for their needs in life but the government.
Especially when run by Democrats.
This whole notion, by the way, of extending unemployment benefits.
You're exactly right.
Why go find a job if we're gonna extend unemployment benefits for six months?
And of course they mention this because they want to sound fair.
They want to sound compassionate, because this economy is about to go into recession.
It's already bad enough with millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of Americans losing their homes and their visa cards and their master cards.
Food stamps will save the economy, the grocery stores, uh, and the food stamps combined with the unemployment.
Uh why believe me, f the more people sitting on their ass with their hands out, waiting for the mailman once a week, the better the country is as far as the Democrats are concerned.
All right, we'll take a uh a break here at the top of the hour, and we'll move on to the Republican side of the ledger as primary politics continues to be analyzed and reported here on the EIB Network.
Be patient.
