Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It is shaping up, ladies and gentlemen, to be another magical day here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the headquarters of Operation Chaos, which continues to exceed all objectives.
Oh man.
I keep getting up every day.
It's gonna end.
And this stuff's it's gonna burn out, but no, ladies and gentlemen.
It keeps intensifying.
Great to have you with us, L. Rushbow here behind the Golden EIB microphone.
Thrill and delight to have you with us.
A hearty welcome to those of you watching on the Ditto Cam at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Here is the phone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-288-2.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Rasmussen released the latest poll in Pennsylvania at 11 o'clock this morning.
Not much movement here.
The last poll was Clinton over Obama 51% to 38%.
Today it's Clinton 49% to 39%.
Not a whole lot of change there.
Not real substantive change.
Uh, which might be trouble for Obama since it looks like the numbers uh are pretty much holding steady.
Also, Mrs. Clinton, Clinton today on the radio in Pittsburgh.
Would you listen to this?
This is about CBS's big hit piece on her last night.
Operation Chaos.
CBS, Katie Courick, the evening news.
Katie Couric is one of Hillary's biggest buds.
Now the reporterette on this case was Cheryl Atkison.
Uh and I like Cheryl Atkison.
She used to be at CNN way, way, way, way back.
I remember Cheryl Atkison uh once invited me to the White House correspondence dinner.
And uh back during a period of time where I wasn't going.
Uh, but I still haven't been back.
Uh and she's uh I don't I don't I don't I have I don't know her.
I mean I I know her work.
Yeah, no, no, no.
You know, the White House Correspondence Dinner, the networks go out there and buy tables, and they invite guests that they they hope to cause trouble, controversy, and so forth.
Who better than I, El Rushbow to do that, but I I don't go to the thing.
I think the whole White House correspondence dinner, I think it's a I think it's bogus.
You know, here you here you have it's sort of like the Hatfields and McCoys having a dinner, uh, deciding you know, put aside their hostilities for one night.
Uh, and it's all phony.
And then the next day, later that night, they're back to hating each other again.
And it's just uh, you know, the president shows up and dutifully tells some jokes and makes fun of himself.
Usually the entertainment makes fun of the president, makes fun of the conservatives in the audience and the Republicans, and they sit there and they laugh.
Happy to be included in the big bash.
Uh it's just, it's not my uh not my cup of tea.
And we've got a whole audio soundbite uh display coming up on this one.
This is this is about Mrs. Clinton.
She'd been caught in a huge bold-faced lie about sneaking into Bosnia, corkscrewing down there on a C-130 or whatever, uh, and getting off the plane running for cover because there was sniper fire.
There were no such no such thing ever happened.
She was with a couple of entertainers, uh, Sinbad and uh Cheryl Crow.
And it was as safe as anything could be in Bosnia at the time.
So this has been exposed.
CBS did the hit piece last night, Cheryl Atkison, the reporterette.
Uh so Hillary was on Pittsburgh Radio this morning.
So, well, occasionally I am a human being like everybody else.
I've written about it in my book.
I talked about it on many other occasions.
And last week, you know, for the first time in twelve or so years, I misspoke.
For the first time in twelve years, I misspoke.
I'll tell you the pressure.
The pressure's getting to her.
We got an audio sound by the Clinton light.
It's sort of, he doesn't light into this MTV reporter at.
We have an advanced exclusive on this.
It's a conversation about gay marriage with an MTV reporter at you can you can hear the stress and the tension uh in uh in Clinton's voice and in his uh in his answer.
Last night on PMS NBC, Dan Abrams and his new legal show devoted most of it to me on the possibility that I will be and should be indicted in Ohio for Operation Chaos.
We have audio sound bites of that.
Get this story.
This we just love.
It's by Peter Jackson.
And it's from the Associated Press Dateline, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Democrat Party enrollment surged past the four million mark Monday, setting a state record on the last day Pennsylvanians had to register to vote in next month's presidential primary.
The figures which showed modest declines in the ranks of Republicans and independents reflected intense interest in the race for the Democrat uh primary, uh both candidates, Hillary and Obama, uh, since last year's election, which uh uh featured races for judicial and municipal offices.
The number of Democrats, get this, the number of people registering as Democrats, let's put it that way.
The number of people registering as Democrats increased since last year by more than 161,000, or more than 4%, to at least 4,044,952.
No political.
No political party in Pennsylvania had previously reached the four million registered voters threshold.
The f the uh the figures, you know, I I have to tell you something, folks.
The the the left and the Democrats did everything but gift rep their primary schedule for my 20th anniversary.
This is our 20th anniversary.
Well, it will be on August 1st.
Uh what better gift has the left given me than the Democrat Party primary schedule?
Now, the figures on new Democrat voter registration of Pennsylvania did not include the final hours of voter registration in 67 counties or mail-in applications, which will count uh as long as they're postmarked yesterday.
The largest percentage gains were concentrated in the Philadelphia suburbs and the state's central region, which we own, by the way, uh mostly in counties where Republicans still outnumber Democrats.
Of the more than 8.2 million Pennsylvania voters, more than 120,000 are people who were not previously registered to vote.
Oh man.
We are increasing participation in the electoral process, and they want to indict me, the commanding officer of Operation Chaos for this.
The business of registering Pennsylvanians to vote was brisker than ever in many counties on the last day to sign up at the Luzerne County elections office in Wilkesbury.
We own Wilkesbury.
We own Harrisburg, we own Allentown.
We own them, folks.
We own them.
Uh Director Leonard Piazza, the third, uh, said that the pace yesterday was very brisk, quote, including hundreds of fresh applications dropped off by the Clinton and Obama campaigns.
This is more like what we see in November for general elections, said uh director uh Leonard Piazza III.
Okay, so the Obama and Clinton campaigns are responsible for bringing hundreds, but yet hundreds of thousands actually registered and signed.
Nowhere in this story.
Nowhere in this story is Operation Chaos mentioned.
But they know.
I wish you would stop the Operation Chaos.
It's ridiculous.
Uh that's Carl from uh, in fact, from Philadelphia yesterday.
Many of you people think that this was Charles Barclay on the phone.
Uh in fact, get grab the one minute twenty-eight version, edited version of Carl's call yesterday, Mike.
Uh and and uh I I listened to this uh this morning, uh, and I see what you all mean.
It does sound like Barclay.
I just know that if Barclay called here, he would use his real name.
But here, here's the one minute we condensed a call, uh the the essence of Carl's complaint.
Okay, so that's we've looped that that goes on and on at infinitum.
Uh that's Carl from Philadelphia yesterday, uh, threatening me and then begging me to stop Operation Chaos.
And I said, does when he said really, really?
Uh uh it does sound like Charles Barclay, but I I I don't think it was Charles.
Uh I really don't.
Anyway, Operation Chaos continues to roll on, and we are having so much fun with this, folks.
Uh, especially the story, hundred and sixty-one thousand people show up, and they haven't even counted the mail-ins and the ones that arrived late in the day yesterday, and they credit Obama and Hillary for delivering hundreds.
He he he he he he he Well Well Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
Just by showing up behind the golden EIB microphone, The Nation magazine just had this sent to me by Coco up at the website.
Limbaugh's lying voters under investigation.
Operation Chaos, Rush Limbaugh's campaign urging Republicans to vote for Hillary in Democrat primaries has been very effective.
It doubled Republican turnout in Ohio and Texas, boosting Clinton and prolong the Democrat race.
But in Ohio, it was almost certainly illegal.
And so they make the case here that prosecutors should indict, should investigate.
But the funny thing is that in the story, they actually put a picture of our Operation Chaos Cap that is for sale at the EIB store.
So in that at Rush Limbaugh.com.
So f in the in the process of urging Ohio officials to investigate and indict me and voters, they are advertising our Operation Chaos Cap.
And uh use the proceeds for for bail.
For bail.
Here's here's Mrs. Clinton, by the way, this morning on the radio in Pittsburgh.
I am a human being like everybody else.
Uh the military took great care of us.
You know, they were worried about uh, you know, taking a first lady to a war zone and took some extra precautions and worried about uh all kinds of things.
But uh uh I've written about it in my book and I've talked about it in many other occasions, and last week uh, you know, for the first time in twelve or so years I misspoke.
Last week for the first time in twelve years or so I misspoke about the Bosnia arrival.
You know, Hillary, if you're gonna lie about this, just say that you got confused, that you were watching sniper fire on the in-flight movie.
And that that's where you got the idea for it.
But it looks like, ladies and gentlemen, we're still tracking this down, but it looks like the drive-by's have Hillary saying the same thing about Snap sniper fire last month, February 29th, 2008, a campaign stop in Waco, Texas.
Quote, I remember particularly a trip to Bosnia where the welcoming ceremony had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.
So she said it again.
She missed this the second time she's misspoken in twelve years.
Uh fuck the the the uh I guarantee you, Operation Chaos, the pressure.
Everything is getting to these people.
Wait till you hear the Clinton bite.
You know, and Obama and his crowd, they're not that much better off in terms of the pressure and everything.
They're both waiting around for the other to screw up, hoping, hoping, hoping that the other side uh screws up.
Now, before we get to the Hillary soundbite montage in order, you have to hear this.
This is yesterday on NPR's program called Tell Me More, and it's hosted by Michelle Martin.
She was interviewing Jean Weingarten, uh, the Washington Post magazine about me and talk radio.
And Michelle Martin said, Gene, you think of yourself uh kind of a liberal Democrat leaning person, but the people on the other side uh got your juices flowing.
Over time, did anything make more or less sense, or did it all just turn to mush?
The worst thing that happened was that midway through and there was one point in which I was listening both to Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, which is a very, very bad thing to do if you are an unreconstructed liberal like I am.
And because what you'd wind up doing is comparing them, and there's no comparison.
Rush Limbaugh is better.
He is funnier.
He uh he's uh much more interesting.
He's he's he's mean, but but he's mean in a way that you don't really get involved with.
You you you know he's kind of kidding.
And so the worst thing that happened to me was that I found myself grudgingly respecting Rush Limbaugh, which is just a terrible thing to do if you're a liberal.
But gradually what happens is you get into it, and uh and I find I've found things to really despise about him eventually.
Yeah.
Well, you know what's interesting about this is that's Gene Weingartner, the Washington Post magazine.
Um uh Jeffrey Lord has a piece today at the American Spectator uh online bouncing off uh a famous quote of Bill Buckley is in his book Up from Liberalism called Liberal Mania.
And basically the theory is that these liberals all live in their little cocoons.
And anything interrupts their worldview.
We've made this point here on this program before.
Anything that interrupts and penetrates their little cocoon and their worldview sends them into conniption fits.
They actually become manic and don't know how to deal with it because they've never had to.
It why this is one of the reasons why Geraldine Ferraro is reacting the way she's reaction.
Liberals are never called racists by the drive-by media.
Clinton, you know, after after South Carolina, he blew a gasket.
Because the drive-by media give gives these people puff peace treatment.
Uh and now the drive bys are turning on Hillary and they're turning on Bill, and this is causing mania.
Uh liberal mania.
And the same thing happened to this Weingarten guy.
I mean, he's got this little liberal cocoon worldview that he has lived in for all these years.
He listens to this program, and he almost got sucked in.
He almost got sucked in, but finally, for his own salvation, he found reason to hate me.
There's one more bite here that, though, I want you to hear.
Uh and Michelle Martin says, Well, what did you despise about Limbaugh?
Well, you know, he's very much against Obama, which is which is fair game.
You know, he's uh limbo will attack Obama in areas where he's vulnerable, and that's fine.
But, you know, then I discovered that he was saying his name kind of interestingly.
Obama.
And I decided this was a racial thing.
This was like yo mama.
To try to make him the black guy.
Yeah, to make him the black guy.
See what I mean.
This this no, they aren't that stupid.
This look the the whole point here, read Jeffrey Lord's piece today and the American Spectator online.
They hear me pronoun and I've been doing it earlier in the program today just just to just to just to goosome Obama.
Uh they haven't the slightest note.
They think it's a racial thing.
They think that I'm trying to say, yo, mama.
Uh, and and and it everybody knows Obama's black, so what?
You know, I'll tell you what, Mr. Weingarten, you need to look at your buddies on the left if you want to find racism in this campaign.
There is a virtual civil war going on in the Democrat Party.
Jeremiah Wright, Geraldine Ferraro, the Clintons.
I mean, all this talk about Obama not being black enough, and then is he too black, and is he not black enough?
What about his white half?
Uh you had the Clintons campaign people in New Hampshire talking about not just his drug usage, but perhaps he might have been selling drugs, all with racial undertones, and you hear me pronounce Obama that way and think that I am doing it in a racial sense, and it's that that made him hate me.
Well, it's not it's not that I'm mispronouncing it.
Sterling says, how do you pronounce it in a white way?
I guess in the white ways we'll say Obama.
But sometimes, you know, I will say Obama, uh, just as I say the uh Reverend Dax what these people do not understand is broadcasting.
They do not understand the various things that skilled professionals do in media to stand out from all the other noise.
And uh as such, they are so sensitive and so attuned to the notion that all conservatives are racists that when they hear something like this, they they use their cliche and their own prejudice and their own bias uh to attach uh a meaning to the way I'm pronouncing it.
One of the things that's always amazed me, and I think we can all agree here that in terms of radio and media, the Rush Limbaugh program is pretty prominent and has enjoyed a lot of success, uh major, major success, but because the left so despises my political effectiveness.
They so hate me because of my political effectiveness.
They never stop to think of the professionalism, the talent, the the broadcast achievement that is part of the shit.
Just it totally escapes them.
Because I'm so good at the other stuff, too.
Okay, so where are we here?
Well, we have uh people urging Ohio prosecutors to Investigate and indict me for Operation Chaos.
We have people at The Nation Magazine and on PMSNBC urging the Ohio authorities to conduct their investigation and indict me.
Again, I'm gonna to you communists over at the nation.
Let me ask you something.
In Pennsylvania, you've got Obama and Hillary both asking Republicans to register so they can as Democrats they can vote for them.
Uh in the upcoming primary on April 22nd, and in Ohio, the same thing happened.
The uh the Obama campaign put leaflets on people's doors saying if you're Republican, go ahead and vote Democrat.
Your primary is all siled up, so uh just register as a Democrat here and vote for me.
Now, why haven't you urged you you you you people of the nation, and by the way, thanks for the picture of our Operation Chaos Cap in your article.
Why haven't you urged the indictment of Obama and Hillary?
Uh given their roles in urging non-democrats to vote for them in these states.
Also, I guess from Gene Weingartner of the Washington Post, you know, we can't use Obama's middle name.
Can't we can't say Hussein?
We'll get a memo from McCain if we do.
We can't now say Obama without them thinking it's racist.
Um what are we what are we left with?
Barry.
Call him Barry.
All right, to the audio sound bites.
This is Mrs. Clinton on March 17th, a montage of Mrs. Clinton uh remarking about her 1996 trip to Bosnia.
I remember landing under sniper fire.
There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles uh to get to our base.
It was a moment of great pride for me.
There was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the first lady.
Now that sounds funny, but you know, there's all you can you could take that in any number of ways.
If it's too small, too poor, too dangerous.
Send the first lady.
Anyway, the whole thing's a lie.
The whole thing is a everything she said is a lie.
It is we exposed it a week ago, newsbusters, our buddies at newsbusters had this a week ago.
We talked about it a week ago.
But it finally has found its way to drive-by media as of yesterday.
Here again, Mrs. Clinton this morning on the radio in Pittsburgh.
I am a human being like everybody else.
Uh, the military took great care of us.
You know, they were worried about uh, you know, taking a first lady to a war zone and took some extra precautions and worried about uh all kinds of things.
But uh I've written about it in my book and I've talked about it in many other occasions and last week uh, you know, for the first time in twelve or so years I misspoke.
Yeah, well, we've had on record as some people do, they're looking we're checking anyway, that uh back on February 29th, leap day uh in Waco, Texas, Mrs. Clinton told the same lie.
Uh this is the the liberals think that their buds in the drive-by's are not going to go after them.
They have this little cocoon of safety in which they live, and they get puff peace treatment uh by their friends in the media.
But that has ended uh for Mrs. Clinton.
Here's the montage of Cheryl Atkison's report last night on the CBS evening news.
Um have in this report, we've got uh Clinton campaign speechwriter Lisa Muscatine and uh politicos Mike Allen in a montage of Cheryl Atkison's report about Hillary Clinton's 1996 trip to Bosnia.
In the speech last week, Senator Clinton was referring to her visit to Tuzla, Bosnia in 1996 as first lady.
The brutal war was over, but hostilities continued.
And though the trip was exactly twelve years ago tomorrow, the memory seemed etched in Clinton's mind.
Problem is that's not what happened.
And we should know CBS News accompanied the first lady and daughter Chelsea on that Bosnia trip.
That's Senator Clinton talking to me on the military flight into Tuzla.
And these are the pictures we recorded of the greeting ceremony when the plane landed.
Compare that to Senator Clinton's account.
There was no sniper fire either when Senator Clinton visited two Army outposts where she posed for photos and no sniper fire back at the base, where she sang at a USO show starring Sinbad and Sheryl Crow.
Hundreds of thousands have viewed the video online in just the past few days.
A reminder that in politics, memory should always match the video tape.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now there are some obvious questions.
CBS, the evening news with Katie Courick just destroyed Hillary Clinton.
Just destroyed her.
This CBS report on Hillary's excellent Bosnia adventure.
I don't think it would have been filed, folks, if the race had not been extended by Operation Chaos.
Operation Chaos can lay partial claim for this story being filed.
A CBS report that you just heard a montage of was actual journalism directed at a Democrat icon.
Now that is news.
Now, Operation Chaos isn't just causing the two front runners to bloody each other.
It's also had the effect of prompting the drive-by media to do the job it's avoided for years.
Journalism.
Fact-checking.
That's how upside down things have become the drive-by media now stopping long enough to fact-check and report on Democrats, a remarkable development.
But here's the question.
CBS in this piece admits they had the videotape that shows Mrs. Clinton's lying.
What took them so long to dig into their I mean the people on that trip had to know she was lying the first time she said it.
Cheryl Atkison and whoever the camera people were, the producer, they had to know, however long Mrs. Clinton has been lying about this, they had to know it.
Now, what is it that finally made CBS do this story?
Well, I'm going to give you at least two possibilities.
One, the Washington Post yesterday, in their blog check on the website of the Washington Post, finally exposed it, and that gave CBS cover.
Somebody else did it first.
The second thing is, and don't discount this one.
Mrs. Clinton is dodging a CBS request to do a debate in North Carolina next month, uh ahead of the North Carolina primary.
It would be it would be Katie Couric's only debate that she would moderate and host.
She got aced out of a couple of these in the regular Democrat primary season for a host of reasons, the writer's strike and a number of other things.
And this, this was going to be Katie's chance to get in with the big uh uh uh big boys.
Searching for a word other than boys.
I don't want this to sound sexist.
And Hillary is not cooperating.
Hillary's back and off, she's hedging.
And so make no mistake.
Queen Bee syndrome here.
You've had Katie Courick in Hillary Clinton's back pocket.
Katie Courick has been one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters for as long as Hillary has had presidential perspirations.
And now Hillary is shafting Katie.
And so Katie says, Oh, yeah.
Well, I won't do the report, but I'll let it air on my newscast.
They just sl just a total slam.
But it's fascinating to me.
CBS had eyewitnesses to this account, eyewitnesses to this event.
They have known from the get-go that Hillary Clinton was lying about this, and they sat on it, and they didn't do a thing with it until they were forced into it by whatever reason.
And part of the reason, obviously, ladies and gentlemen, Operation Chaos.
Let's go to Waco, Texas, February 29th this year.
One of the great honors of being first lady and of being a senator is the time that I was privileged to spend with our troops.
Here at home, in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Bosnia, Kosovo, and places around the world.
I remember particularly a trip to Bosnia where the welcoming ceremony had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.
So she told the lie on February 29th.
Here, play her this morning, cut 25 on Pittsburgh Radio this morning.
I am a human being like everybody else.
They were worried about uh, you know, taking a first lady to a war zone and took some extra precautions and worried about all kinds of things.
But uh I've written about it in my book and I've talked about it in many other occasions and last week uh, you know, for the first time in twelve or so years I misspoke.
Uh uh uh let's go back uh about a month, uh February 29th, Waco, Texas again.
One of the great honors of being First Lady and of being a senator is the time that I was privileged to spend with our troops here at home, in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Bosnia, Kosovo, and places around the world.
I remember particularly a trip to Bosnia where the welcoming ceremony had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.
And this is a um montage of Senator Clinton on March 17th.
I remember landing under sniper fire.
There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles uh to get to our base.
It was a moment of great pride for me.
There was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the first lady.
Cheryl Atkison in her CBS report last night.
Problem is that's not what happened, and we should know CBS News accompanied the first lady and daughter Chelsea on that trip, and there wasn't any sniper fire.
Now you have to admit, folks, I mean, we try to look for the positives here uh at the uh EIB network.
Uh you have to admit that Mrs. Clinton has improved her delivery when telling lies.
Uh she's gotten almost believable here.
She's this is the third or fourth time she's told a lie, even though she said it's the first time in twelve years she misspoke about this.
Almost sounded convincing.
Uh not like the other lies.
I mean, the other lies when she didn't named after Sir Edmund Hillary, but uh he nobody even knew who he was when she was born.
He hadn't climbed the mountain yet.
The Marines didn't want her.
Uh, you know, that that lie, nobody bought that.
She wanted to sign up and be a Marine in Chicago, but they didn't, they didn't want her.
Um the the extended live press conference.
Uh she's she's getting better.
She gets better, but but but she's been caught.
I mean, think of this, too.
She knows CBS is on a trip with her.
She knows CBS on a trip with her.
This is what I mean.
They think that the drive-by's are going to cover for them, and they always have.
Until now.
Folks, it's getting even worse.
We have found yet another instance of Mrs. Clinton telling the sniper fire lie upon landing in Tuzla, Bosnia, December 29th.
Mrs. Clinton was in Dubuque, Iowa last year, December 29, 2007, said that she quote, we landed in one of those corkscrew landings and ran out because they said there might be sniper fire.
Then on March 11th, in the Washington Post, a column entitled sleuth, headlines Sinbad unloads on Hillary Clinton.
Finally, the Obama campaign has found a big gun to help shoot down Hillary Rodham Clinton's self-proclaimed foreign policy expertise.
And he may be the wackiest gun of all.
Sinbad the actor, who has come out from under a rock to defend Obama in the war over foreign policy credentials.
Sinbad with Cheryl Crow was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call.
Sinbad uh says that it was not harrowing.
He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and the Serbs.
In an interview with the Washington Post on Monday, March the 11th, uh he said the scariest part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next.
I think the only red phone moment was do we eat here or at the next place?
So one of her one of the people she was with has debunked the whole thing.
We went back to the archives of oh, and from the Hill.
Uh Capitol Hill newspaper, the campaign of Sillary Clinton seeking to play down news that she gave an incorrect account of landing in Bosnia under sniper fire in 1996, and refused to answer additional questions about a flap that could hurt her chances.
Deputy Communications Director Phil Singer on a Tuesday morning conference call with reporters.
We've said all we're going to say on this.
Yes.
So they're on uh they're in lockdown on the Bosnia flaps.
Four instances of lying about this, going back to December 29th of last year, and even lying about it after Sinbad put the whole lie to it in the Washington Post on March 11th.
This is exactly what we mean when we say the drive-by's cover for these people, and they have come to expect it, not just the Clintons, but all liberals, all Democrats.
We even went back to the archives of Rush the Television Show, 1996 in March.
This is what I said about Mrs. Clinton in Bosnia.
She's in Tuzla, Bosnia with her troops.
Now, I don't know about you folks, but I find this obscene.
Whitewater heats up, travel gate heats up, and they go out and use the military as props.
You listen to any newsbreak, you tune in to any television news show, you listen to any commentator, and what do you hear?
The first First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to visit our troops in danger.
First, first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to visit the troops.
Do you think that each and every journalist came up with this little factoid on his or her own?
Or did someone make sure they got it?
And who could that someone be?
I mean, is it possible that item, that link to Eleanor Roosevelt was planned, released, faxed, refaxed by the White House?
And what is this troops in danger, troops on the front lines?
It's a peacekeeping mission for crying out loud.
This morning on DNC TV, Andrea Mitchell confirms what I said in 1996, and she used the Eleanor Roosevelt talking point back then.
Uh this is uh let's see, morning, Julie.
Fill and host is Buchanan today.
And he says, Andrea Wilson yesterday, when we talked to him, he made two points.
He said she went off to some sort of fire base, you know, which was heavily protected by machine guns, suggesting what you know it really amazes me.
We're also caught up in the fact that a Clinton lied.
Well, what's really news about this?
Bottom line, what's news about what the the news is that the drive-bys have turned on them.
Here is what Andrea Mitchell said about this.
They would not have sent the first lady someplace that was that dangerous.
It is accurate that she was the first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go to a war zone.
And so they had a good talking point.
They just, I think, pushed it too far.
Well, right, but he also read, and we sat here and listened, the leads of a number of stories.
I don't know if they're a wire copy or news story, which mentioned just what you're just what you're talking about, that she was the first first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone or something quasi-controlled.
I think I wrote that myself that day.
Yeah, everybody was writing it because the Clintons were spoon feeding it to the media.
Here's Joe Klein, CNN last night.
Uh Anderson Cooper says, Well, what do you make of this discrepancy in Hillary's story, uh, Joe?
Well, actually, tonight I had dinner with someone who was on that plane.
They were told that they had to take evasive action because of sniper fire, one of those precipitous landings that a lot of us have taken, but on the ground there was obviously no problem.
Um, it's a war story.
And and she exaggerated it.
And uh it doesn't speak well of her, and it's very unhillary-like.
Okay, now that's probably very unhillary-like.
That's probably I I can believe that they told the people in that plane.
Okay, look, we might have to corkscrew down, and there might be some sniper fire.
Uh, I was told this uh when when I was told we're going to be landing in uh uh in Afghanistan if it was on a military plane, it would turn that we went on a UN DC nine.
We couldn't corkscrew and survive if we had to.
Uh, but they uh I I can see where she was warned about it, but she just exaggerated.
Yeah, and it happened.
And it happened, and it happened, and of course it didn't.
But that is very Hillary-like to talk about things that didn't happen as though they did.
A question is the Hillary lie being treated unfairly by men?
Ladies and gentlemen.
This, as far as we're concerned, at Operation Chaos, no reason to abandon her or vote against her.
