Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, a thought just struck me.
Fidel Castro has experience.
Fidel Castro has 50 years, not 35.
Fidel Castro has 50...
50...
50 years experience working for the Cuban people.
I mean, didn't he?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Well, it was a false alarm yesterday, folks.
I really felt fluish yesterday, but when I got home last night, vanished whatever it was.
We're back 100% to do Open Line Friday here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network from the subterranean depths of the EIB Southern Command.
You know the drill on open line Friday when we go to the phones.
The program is yours.
No restrictions, as there are Monday through Thursday.
So whatever you want to talk about, question, comment, wine, moan, uh.
Whatever.
This is your day.
Make the most of it.
The telephone number 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
You know, I've had this story for a couple days, and a number of things have superseded it, uh, ladies and gentlemen, but how about shooting down that spy satellite?
We might, we might, they the reason they wanted to shoot the thing down primarily was that tank of hydrazine, I think it's hydrazine fuel in there that you know could uh cause the earth to burn up uh if it hit the atmosphere, or maybe you know give somebody some skin rash somewhere.
They wanted to blow that thing.
They think the Navy thinks that they hit not just the satellite, which is the size of a bus, they think they hit the tank.
Uh the ChICOMs and the and the and the Soviets, well, the KGB, uh, just irritated as hell that we did this.
I'll bet they're irritated as hell that we did this.
But the the point to me is everybody keeps talking about how the Reagan era is over.
And if this shoot down of the spy satellite does not illustrate that the Reagan administration, the Reagan era is anything but over, I don't know what could.
And look at the New York Post lead editorial today.
The headline, drive by journalism.
It is a piece on the New York Times piece about Senator McCain yesterday.
By the way, we've got some audio soundbites coming up of the drive-bys analyzing this program and and what I had to say about the Times piece and uh and McCain.
I I I do not know, and they and many of them you will hear claim that they listen to this program uh every day or a part of it.
I don't know what they're hearing.
All of these people who say I I've you know threw down all the problems, and I'm 100% behind McCain.
How in the world could you get that from what I said yesterday?
The AP is even upset that I have uh that I have abandoned my opposition to McCain.
Uh and they're they're they're upset I went after the New York Times and not McCain yesterday.
What happened to the what happened to these good old family values conservatives?
Anyway.
Here's how the post, the New York Post lead editorial starts today.
John McCain says he's disappointed with yesterday's front page New York Times story, alleging that he had an affair nearly a decade ago with a much younger corporate lobbyist.
Disappointed.
Obviously, the de facto GOP presidential nominee believes the Times has high journalistic standards.
He's wrong.
This was no failure to live up to high standards, it was a drive-by shooting masquerading as a newspaper story.
Now, some of you might think that I, L. Rushball, would be greatly perturbed here at the plagiarism.
Not at all, ladies and gentlemen.
That's not me.
That kind of stuff.
That's beneath me.
It's in the vernacular now.
We have it's like Feminazzi.
We have put drive-by media in the vernacular now.
And I think I think it'd be wise and timely now to remind everybody just what the drive-by media is.
When it was concocted here on this program behind that, the very golden EIB microphone.
The mainstream media are like drive-by shooters.
They pull up to a congested area.
They spray a hail of bullets into the crowd.
It causes mass hysteria and confusion, mistakes, misinterpretation.
Sometimes people or their careers actually dry or die after a drive-by media hit.
The mainstream media then smirks and laughs, and they flex their muscles, all of their power, then they ride away in the convertible, unnoticed in the excitement, heading on down the road to the next drive-by.
They are never blamed.
They are never held accountable.
In fact, they are lauded and held up as heroes, mostly by themselves.
Now, while many are engaged in cleaning up the mess, which is what we do here every day, clean up the mess made by the drive-by media.
They're on down the highway in the convertible with the top down, laughing and looking for their next victims.
And this is repeated over and over and over.
Seems to be no stopping them and their marauding ways.
That's the genesis of the term drive-by media.
I'm going to add to it, Tay, today, because now is the follow-up media.
Drive-by media did their drive-by yesterday, hit McCain with a baseless, warrantless story.
And now the follow-up media, and they always get it wrong too.
The follow-up media discussing what happened yesterday can't get it right either.
At least where I'm concerned.
So the follow-up media is the media that follows the drive-bys.
In some cases, it's a drive-by's who circle back.
You know, everybody whether you sometimes arsonists love to go to the scene of the fire to watch their work.
Some of the drive-by sometimes circle back.
Uh to smile and marvel at the mess that they have made.
But they either either it's drive-by's or circle back in the follow-up media.
They always get the story about me wrong.
And I got one example here, Jennifer Parker at ABC News.
We'll get to that in just a moment.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, what is this?
Friday, on what what day was what what what day was Zev here?
Was that Wednesday?
Zeb was here on Wednesday.
I had a conversation with a friend Wednesday afternoon after the program, and he said, How are you gonna handle, you know, nobody's criticizing Obama.
How are you gonna do this?
How are you gonna handle criticizing the first black American to run for president?
I said, I'm gonna do it the way I always do it.
First, at the top of the list, I'm gonna do it fearlessly.
I'm not gonna bow to political correctness.
I'm gonna do it with humor.
I'm gonna focus on the issues.
I'm gonna react to what he says.
It's simple.
I'm gonna do it just like if he were any other case.
A man, right?
He's a liberal.
How do I criticize liberals?
I criticize them.
But I have devised, ladies and gentlemen, an even more creative way of criticizing Obama.
I have just this morning named a new position here on the staff.
That is the official Obama criticizer.
The EIB network now has an official Obama criticizer.
He is Bo Snerdly.
And we are going to illustrate the first sort of uh you might call this a pilot, but I think it's gonna work, and we will do this as warranted.
When Obama needs to be criticized, our official criticizer uh Bo Snerdly will do so, and we've got something really here to criticize.
If you watch the debate last night, Obama came out with something that's unbelievable.
Just unbelievable.
This is what he said.
Number 12, uh brought I just heard from an army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon, supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon, ended up uh being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.
And as a consequence, they didn't have enough ammunition, they didn't have enough Humvees, they were actually capturing Taliban weapons because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.
Now, that's a consequence of bad judgment.
And the question is on the critical issues that we face right now.
Who's gonna show the judgment to lead?
All right.
I now turn the program over to our official Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdly.
This is Bo Snerdly African American and good standing and certified black enough to criticize Obama guy.
Mr. Obama, the claims you raise are quite serious.
The allegations are so incredulous that quite frankly, they are difficult to believe.
And I want to believe.
So with all due respect, Senator Obama, I demand you prove it.
Tell America the name of the military official you spoke with, and allow an independent investigation to verify these serious allegations you raise.
On behalf of our EIB brothers and sisters in the hood, we're asking you, Mr. Obama.
What's up with that?
Yo, you got proof?
On behalf of our Hispanic brothers and sisters, we're asking Senor Obama.
Es verdad.
Okay, that's it, Mr. Limbaugh.
Finally, somebody might be able to make Jimmy Carter look competent.
Thank you, Mr. Snerdley.
Both snerdily, the official criticizer of Barack Obama.
As we continue with open line, it is it's unbelievable claim here.
That it's easier to get Taliban weapons and it's easier to get Taliban ammonish ammunition than it is our own because the commander in chief uh has not got the troops properly equipped.
Mr. Snerdley is right.
I would like to echo Mr. Snerdley's criticism on this program.
Prove this.
Did the run around where's somebody demanding proof?
Where's somebody demanding the name of the military official that Senator Obama spoke to?
This just can't slide, folks.
We're not gonna swallow.
You know, there's been a lot of talk about plagiarism in this campaign.
The charges have been going back and forth from Mrs. Clinton to Obama to Duvall Patrick.
Uh, and uh they continue.
And and Mrs. Clinton had a couple of things to say last night that also boggle the mind.
By the way, welcome back to Open Line Friday.
I am L. Rushbo, he of the Dulcet Tones.
Uh, and the vocal vibrations, the rhetoric in resonance, uh reflected uh coast to coast here via the golden EIB microphone.
What it all adds up to, I mean, all and by the way, Hillary is plagiarizing her husband.
They're both plagiarizing John Edwards, and some of this stuff that Hillary said last night.
The point is none of this is new.
I don't care, it's not plagiarism, folks, that matters here.
It is two things.
There is nothing new in liberalism.
It's all old.
It's just repackaged and recycled with different people on the on the box.
But it's the same old has been stuff.
His second thing is authenticity.
We're getting we're being told that Obama's this revolutionary new kind of political figure, political figure, that there's never been a figure in politics like him.
I mean, these all these Democrats out there saying, these are not political rallies.
Why, this is this is a changing the world kind of stuff, Elijah Cummings is saying.
This is all old hat and none of it's authentic.
It's not authentic to Mrs. Clinton, it's not authentic to Barack Obama, not even authentic to the Breck girl, John Edwards.
Let's listen to two sound bites here.
Uh as uh Mrs. Clinton finds her voice again.
Campbell Brown, the moderator to debate last night, says Senator Clinton.
Describe what was the moment that tested you the most.
That moment of crisis.
Everybody here knows I've lived through some crises and some challenging moments in my life, and I am grateful for the support and the prayers of countless Americans.
But people often ask me, how do you do it?
You know, how do you keep going?
And I just have to shake my head in wonderment because with all of the challenges that I've had, they are nothing compared to what I see happening in the lives of Americans every single day.
You know, the hits I've taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country.
Okay, how many of your hearts melted?
Those of you watching this last night.
Oh, what a brave woman.
Why would a courageous babe.
Sitting there and understanding all these hits that she's taking are nothing compared to life in this country.
This foul, besmirched, recession-driven country.
That people in this country are really taking the hits because they're poor and they have no future, and we're destroying the planet with global warmth and all of these things.
Well, no less than the new republic has a little blog entry today.
Clinton's best moments, not really hers.
The Obama campaign wasted no time sending out an email that claims Clinton's best moment of the night was plagiarized from John Edwards.
In fact, we gotta play the second soundbite to wrap all this up together.
Keep this in mind.
Her point here in the first bite was all these hits I'm taking.
They're nothing, Campbell.
They're nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country.
Here's bite two.
No matter what happens in this contest, and I am honored.
I am honored to be here with Barack Obama.
I am absolutely honored.
Whatever happens, we're gonna be fine.
You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends.
I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people.
And that's what this election should be about.
What is it?
Throw it in the towel?
It's only she's throwing in the towel there and giving up.
But not just that.
We'll be fine.
Whatever happens, don't worry about me.
Don't cry for me, America.
I am Evita Clinton.
Don't cry for me.
I'll be fine.
I'm rich.
My husband's rich.
And he can start dating again.
It'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
Obama will be fine.
You will continue to get the excrement sandwich.
But we will be fine.
We need to make sure the American people have something to eat besides the excrement sandwich.
But we'll be fine.
Okay, so the American people hits they take nothing compared uh Mrs. Hits uh Mrs. Clinton's hits nothing compared to what the American people take, and don't worry about us, we'll be fine.
Uh Hillary Clinton, you just heard said, you know, whatever happens are gonna be fine.
You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends.
I just hope we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people, blah blah blah.
John Edwards.
Uh what's not at stake are any of us.
All of us are gonna be just fine, no matter what happens in this election.
What's at stake is whether America is going to be fine.
And I want to say this to everyone, with Elizabeth and my family, my friends, with all of you and all of your support, this son of a mill worker is gonna be just fine.
Our job now is to make certain that America will be fine.
That was the Breck girl earlier this year in a debate.
Mrs. Clinton stealing from the Breck girl.
No authenticity whatsoever.
Uh then Josh Marshall, who's a liberal blogger, writes this.
I mentioned at the end of my debate blog that the pivot of Hillary's powerful concluding remarks came from Clinton's ninety-two campaign.
Clinton had various permutations of it back then.
Clinton in ninety-two.
The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time.
Hillary Clinton last night, you know, the hits I've taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across this country.
Now, Josh Micah Marshall says, Well, it's to be a hundred percent clear, nothing in the least wrong with this, and it's a great line.
But I think it shows the silliness of the plagiarism charges based on a few borrowed lines.
Yeah, it does, Josh.
It shows the total stupidity of the charge of plagiarism.
What it illustrates here is that there are no new or fresh ideas anywhere, including with Obama.
Uh I'm sorry, Mr. Snerdley.
I need to bring you back here as the official Obama criticizer, both snerdily back.
Please remind the people.
Let me there could be some dead air here, folks.
Uh D'Haar what I just said?
Just uh you there are no fresh ideas with you know who.
Okay, you ready?
Okay, three, two, one.
Mr. Obama, you need to prove to us that you have fresh ideas.
I demand that you have fresh ideas.
We want to hope in your fresh ideas, and so far, you've demonstrated none.
Thank you.
The official Obama criticizer both nerdly.
Um the stuff coming out of all these candidates' mouths is the same old, same old.
It's the same old recycled stuff.
There's nothing new.
And there's nothing authentic.
And the wines may be good, but there's nothing authentic.
And of course, one of these candidates, this new rock star type figure.
Um, at least with conservatism, there are new approaches as compared to what we have, like medical savings plans, changes in social security, new ways to deal with the illegals, how to handle the economy.
Conservatism is the ideology of change.
Conservatism is the agent of change, not those other guys.
Not gonna have a good time.
We're gonna be getting to your phone calls here in a mere moments, ladies and gentlemen, since it is open line Friday, but a couple more thoughts on this.
You know, PMSNBC on their website has this thing called uh the uh uh what is it?
Uh first read.
And I get all uh I guess everybody's trying to do their version of ABC's The Note, a website that had all of you know, basically a day planner for what was going on in politics and what was in the newspapers and so forth.
These these wonks get up at three o'clock in the morning, four closers start writing this stuff up.
Uh and now MSNBC has one of their own, a political has one, Mike Allen does.
I don't know who the author of this little segment is on this one, because I just have this one little part of it.
Uh Hillary's closing line, it is called, and remember now you just you just heard the closing line.
Um, let's let's go back.
You may just be joining us on.
Let's let's this is gonna be which one do I want here?
Uh yeah, number 14.
Play number 14 again, Mike.
No matter what happens in this contest, and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama.
I am absolutely honored.
Whatever happens, we're gonna be fine.
You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends.
I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people.
And that's what this election should be about.
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
Okay.
So there it is.
That's what we're talking about here.
Clinton, this is from the MBC uh MSNBC uh uh uh.
Whatever their early morning mishmash, Clinton ended the debate in a very conciliatory note, for the first time sounded like a candidate who realized she might not win.
Must be an odd position for her, but the confidence she exuded for just about the entire debate disappeared there at the end.
Was she showing some vulnerability?
Although New Hampshire might actually help her with some undecided voters.
The Clinton campaign loved her closing remarks.
They sent a YouTube around of it.
But combine this last statement with her lack of negative attacks on Obama throughout the debate.
And as the Atlantic's Mark Ambinder note.
Now listen to this.
If you want to talk about somebody that did not understand and doesn't get what's happening, Mark Ambinder at the uh Atlantic blog, this was the night where we all learn that Hillary Clinton understands the moment in history we are in, and that she is smart enough and gracious enough to realize that her party is more important than personal vanity.
That there are things she just cannot say about Obama because it would hurt him in the fall, and that more likely than not she will not win the nomination.
Mr. Ambinder, I respect, I respect all of you drive-bys, but I have to tell you, your narrowness of focus continues to boggle my mind.
There was nothing original in this.
This is a sympathy play.
She might have been throwing in the towel.
Does anybody you know I I when you when you see her say this in addition to to hear it, I have been pointing out for weeks.
This woman, Hillary Clinton, has been driven by one thing for thirty-five years.
The presidency, it is the it is the thing that has animated her.
It is her family.
It is her daughter.
It is her life.
It is her career.
It is her vacation time.
It's her car.
It's all these things that you consider important in your life, your family, all of those things are this run for the White House.
And to sit here and think that she's going to be okay if she gets her backside handed to her by an inexperienced rookie.
Black guy to boot.
This is hilarious.
To think that all of a sudden, okay, she's discovered she can't.
Well, she cares more about the party.
Mr. Ambinder, they haven't given up anything yet.
I mean, she's still ahead in Ohio, tied in Texas, and don't forget they can still blow up this convention.
Depends.
I'm here's what I'm wanting.
If she's if if this is need conciliatory, the other day I asked, they could be bought.
Give them something big, like build them a toll bridge across the Potomac with the revenue going to Clinton's library and massage parlor?
Or how about this?
I mean, just speculating, but if we're going to say that she's conciliatory getting out of this, she knows that you know it's up and it's over.
Uh, given there's going to be a Democrat controlled Senate, given there's probably going to be a Democrat controlled House, given there's probably going to be a Democrat in the White House.
Would a Supreme Court nomination not sail right through like a hot knife through butter?
What better place you can't, if you can't get the presidency, how about a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court?
You can mess America up from there almost as easily as you can from the White House.
In some cases, a little easier, because at the Supreme Court, you're going to write your own law if you can find four other idiot judges to go along with you, and she'll have them.
You have to go to Mozambique to find your president.
Go there.
And if look at I'm just speculating.
Because everybody's on this bandwagon now that she's conciliatory.
And she might have realized that her time is up.
And she cares more about her party than herself.
That's the thing that I just But none of this, the bottom line, folks, none of this is authentic.
None of it's new.
None of it's revolutionary.
It's all been said before by Clinton, by the Breck girl, uh, and others.
It's been written for these people to say by the powers that be behind the scenes.
Conservatism is the new ideology of change.
Conservatism looks at problems and tries to solve them.
Social Security reform.
Entitlement reform.
People want real change.
It is our side that discusses it and would bring it.
These people are just, this is just a bunch of hacks.
And they've been they're they're regurgitating things from the Democrat Party playbook for 30, 40 years ago.
Just with a different speaker.
All right, to the phones.
Open line Friday.
Jim in uh in Granger, Indiana.
You're up first today.
Nice to have you, sir.
Megy Did Rose Rush.
I've been listening to you since uh Bush 41.
Yeah.
And uh my comment is I think Barack is just uh Bill Clinton light.
I was listening to his speech the other day, and I was thinking, where have I heard this rhetoric was saying absolutely nothing before?
And it was Bill Clinton, the first time he ran.
Yeah, exactly right.
This is uh I I'm sorry you had to call and basically say what I've been saying for the first 40 minutes.
But but but but uh it's if you picked that up on your own uh and didn't need me, then my feelings are hurt.
But I'll get over it.
I uh just kidding.
I'm just throwing it out there for the drive-bys.
Yes, I'm I'm part of the mind numb robot.
That's exactly right, waiting for waiting, waiting for your marching orders.
Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Uh but look, keep in mind as you realize this, what what what is the the the great uh um thing that we're hearing that Obama brings to this, and that is his authenticity, and it's something we've never seen in politics.
Just the exact opposite.
There is nothing authentic about this.
Uh, and it's just rehashed drivel bilge uh from previous campaigns uttered by equally phony people.
See, I think Mr. Snerdley, I need you back here as the official Obama criticizer.
The problem is that let me take a break, because there's something I want to say about Obama and I want you to say, we'll do it after the break.
Brief time out.
Don't go away.
Right after this, we'll be back.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rush Limbaugh wrapping up another busy broadcast week here on Open Line Friday.
Now for another criticism of Senator Barack Obama, we turn to the official EIB Obama criticizer Bo Snerdly.
There is absolutely nothing authentic about Barack Obama or his wife for that matter.
We've seen it all before.
There is absolutely nothing here that we haven't seen before.
They're phonies.
For those of you, brothers and sisters in the EIB hood.
They're frontin' man.
That's it.
And for our Hispanic brothers and sisters, no Es verdad.
Muy malo.
Thank you, Mr. Snerdley, the official criticizer of Barack Obama here at the EIB network.
But I must respectfully disagree with our Obama criticizer on one point.
I think that there is a new idea.
I've actually thought about this.
Uh i it doesn't take away from uh Mr. Snerdley's criticism of uh Obama's a phony or uh inauthentic, but there is a new idea.
And the new idea, and it's now it's been a fi I mean it it's it's been running around, it's it's it's actually not new, but it's become almost a an official stamp of the of the Democrat Party and the American left.
And that is the concept that America is bad and failed.
That Americans just can't cut it.
That we need help from government, and we need help from illegal immigrants.
Look at the Obamas.
They are hugely successful.
They are black.
They are spreading the idea, though, that black people can't make it in America.
Not only that, they're spreading the idea that nobody can make it in America.
And that is the new idea.
If you Democrats want to claim that you have a new idea, then you can steal this from me because it's yours already.
The new idea is that no one can make it in America.
Now they've this has always been one of their underpinnings, one of the foundational building blocks of of their ideology, but now they're out in the open with it.
Now they're saying it out loud.
Now they're presidential candidate, a black man and his wife, who have made it and are hugely successful, are telling everybody else they can't.
And where do they learn this attitude?
They learned this attitude at their Ivy League scrubs.
They learned it in their Hate America Church.
They think then they might be right, that they are the first generation with this attitude.
Normally, do you think Mr. and Miss Obama want a better life for their kids than they had for themselves?
They're like all normal parents, wouldn't you think?
But do you think they're telling their own kids you can't make it in this country?
What do you mean, Daddy?
We see you running for pre what do you mean?
Don't don't, son, you can't make it.
You can't make it.
Tell them, Michelle, they can't make it.
Can't make it.
That's right, boys.
You can't make it.
Not in America.
Girls, girls, so you can't, especially your girls and your black, especially you can't make it in America.
But mommy, but mommy.
No, listen to me.
This country is failed.
It's over.
You can't make it, unless, of course, Daddy gets to be president.
Last night, Barack Obama in his um silver tongued beliefs were flowing out of his magical mouth, saying that he believed in hard work and American values.
You know, the old fashioned ones.
But when you really listen, you can see that his projected policies prove that he's lying, as he did not believe that.
He believes in massive protective government in all aspects of our lives like every other liberal does because you're incompetent.
You can't overcome the obstacles in life.
You can't get past those people at Walmart to cheat you.
You certainly can't get past those people Exxon are going to cheat you.
You cannot get past all of those people at the at the five and dime and at the quick shop, they're gonna cheat you.
And of course, you can't get past those rich people.
They're gonna cheat you.
The only people are going to treat you right.
The only people gonna care about you, would be people in government.
Massive protective government in all aspects of our lives.
Because Barack Obama does not believe in us or this country or American exceptionalism, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the new idea.
That Barack Obama and the whole Democrat Party are peddling.
Scott in Rockford, Illinois.
Welcome, sir to the EIB network on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hey there, Rush.
Uh I'm a college kid, and uh I was in a I was in my history class, and an ancient history class, strangely enough, but my uh professor digressed onto more modern topics, and he was talking about uh Hitler and the Nazis.
He ended up saying that during uh World War II that Hitler actually rose to power by being a conservative and a right wing nut.
At that point, I laughed so hard he kicked me out of class.
But um Hey, did he really?
Yeah, he did.
He asked me to leave.
I I just couldn't even respond.
I was laughing.
But my my main question is I'm wondering what exactly it's founded on, because he claims that he was a capitalist, and he claims I mean, obviously it wasn't a free market of his hanging people with piano wire, but what is is this founded in?
Is it a complete lie?
Or I mean is it rewriting the country?
It's a complete it's it's like the Soviet hardliners back during the Cold War, Scott were also referred to as conservatives.
Uh the extremist Ahmadinizad and his mullet buddies in Iran are called conservatives.
This is this is something that the American left from uh your spot in academia all the way down to the drive-by media has continually done to try to discredit and impugn the reputation of conservatives in America.
Now the Hitler thing, I I've I've been doing this for 20 years.
I've gotten I bet you every year I've gotten a call from a college student like you every year of this program, wanting to know how in the world can Hitler be a conservative.
The truth is, you know, the problem that people have here, if you look at the political spectrum, most people look at it as a straight line.
And on the left you've got the Soviets, and you've got the Shy Comms and all the extreme communists, and in the center you have the wonderful moderates and independents, and of course the Democrat Party.
And then just go a little bit to the right, and you've got all the nuts in the world.
And then in this line, uh Hitler ends up on the right side of the line.
That's the wrong way to view the political spectrum.
You have to view the political spectrum as a circle.
Um, and because the eventually these two things will meet, which is what happened to Hitler.
The bottom line was what did you end up with Hitler?
You had Hitler who was deciding who was fit to live and who wasn't.
You had Hitler mesmerizing people taking away their freedoms.
You had Hitler using the instrument of uh business and government together to limit freedom of people in the pro he started out promising them just the opposite, the best and the it was like liberal this guy was a classic leftist is the point, Scott.
Yeah.
Which is why I think you instinctively started laughing.
He was a classic leftist dictator.
He was a murderous thug who didn't just put people in jail, he exterminated them on the basis of what they looked like.
People like that today are celebrated.
Can I give you Hugo Chavez?
Can I give you Fidel Castro?
The left in this country celebrates those people.
Yeah.
Well, that's just what I thought.
Um it seems like to me, Hitler, like the left, is trying to gain complete control over our economy, over our guns, over everything that we have as a freedom.
I mean, control over them, taken away from you.
Damn straight, but why do you think I coined the term feminizy to describe the most fervent pro-abortion uh women in this country?
Well, I mean, what the Nazis do kill people because they were inconvenient.
Back in a second.
You know, you just you can't do anything.
Everybody, Mr. Snerdley is not using his own thoughts rushes in the email.
We can tell he's just parroting you.
No, you're wrong.
Our official Obama criticizer is criticizing in his own voice, with his own words, folks.
