Obama's War on Bosses
00:04:22
|
|
| Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast. | |
| The New York Daily News and a lot of the New York media, some of the television networks, New York Daily News reporting that the Empire State Building shooter. | |
| You heard about this? | |
| Okay. | |
| New York Daily News reporting the Empire State Building shooter did indeed kill his boss. | |
| Well, he was fired yesterday. | |
| He went out there and he killed his boss. | |
| I wonder if Obama's constant warfare on bosses and so forth might have led this guy to pull the trigger. | |
| Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday. | |
| Oh, you ought to see the faces of the people on the other side of the glass. | |
| Oh, no. | |
| Rush, you didn't really say that. | |
| Say that we got time on the delay. | |
| No, Rush. | |
| Oh, you didn't really say it. | |
| Yes, I said it, and we're not going to bleep it out. | |
| I'll guarantee you, the last time there was a shooting in New York, who the mayor blame it on? | |
| Tea Party people that didn't like health care, right? | |
| Gabby Giffords, you name it. | |
| The shooting out in Colorado. | |
| Brian Ross, Tea Party did it. | |
| Well, here you got a guy shooting his boss for being fired. | |
| Who's out there ripping bosses to shreds every day? | |
| Who's out there ripping businesses to shreds every day? | |
| And who's out there killing jobs every day? | |
| So, yes, we're trying to illustrate absurdity by being absurd. | |
| The absurd way the news media, the rest of the left try to capitalize and politicize any terrible crime that they think they can associate with Republicans or conservatives. | |
| We've seen it time and time again. | |
| So why not give them a dose of their own medicine here? | |
| You think Obama and the Democrats have any blood on their hands with this shooting today? | |
| Don't be frightened in there on the other side of the glass. | |
| It isn't any big deal. | |
| By the way, Mayor Doomberg went out there immediately stressed the shooting had no relation to terrorism. | |
| And that's how we know that the alleged perp can't be connected to the Tea Party because people like Doomberg and the Democrats think the Tea Party is a bunch of terrorists. | |
| Yep, did kill his boss. | |
| So Obama's constant class warfare, could it be a factor? | |
| Might it be a factor? | |
| The Democrat Party and all this fear they're putting in people's hearts and minds. | |
| How are you, folks? | |
| Great to have you with us. | |
| It is Friday, Open Line Friday here on the EIB network. | |
| There's a lot of reasons why we do Open Line Friday, and that is to give everyone, no matter how uninformed, a chance to ask the host anything, a question that might begin their journey to becoming a better informed citizen, a better voter. | |
| That's what we're here to do. | |
| It's a golden opportunity. | |
| Monday through Thursday, you have to talk about things I care about. | |
| If you don't, you don't get an ear unless you trick Snerdly, which is getting increasingly easier to do. | |
| But on Friday, it doesn't matter what you want to talk. | |
| I don't care if I care about it or not. | |
| You have your chance. | |
| Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address, LRushbow at EIBNet.com. | |
| We don't know. | |
| I don't know whether or not the Empire State Building shooter used a legal gun or not. | |
| I don't know. | |
| It's a good question. | |
| It's a good question. | |
| Did he have a 32-ounce soda in his hand when he pulled the trigger? | |
| Or, more importantly, had he maybe consumed a 32-ounce soda in the hours preceding the dastardly deed? | |
| These are important questions the mayor of New York City needs to look into. | |
|
Chicago's Gun Laws
00:04:00
|
|
| He could have been a celebrity. | |
| Very easy for celebrities, politically connected people to get gun permits in New York City. | |
| You just never know. | |
| By comparison, folks, at least 19 people were shot in Chicago last night. | |
| 19 people. | |
| There were 15 homicides in Chicago last week. | |
| And Chicago probably has the second or third most stringent gun laws after New York City and D.C. | |
| And the mayor of Chicago, the godfather, Ram Emmanuel, is now all for building casinos in the city. | |
| He says they want to do it for the kids. | |
| They want to build the casinos for the children. | |
| And they want to get the gangbangers to stop shooting the children, the gangbangers to start shooting other people. | |
| Lance Armstrong, what to make of this? | |
| I'll tell you, ladies and gentlemen, you know me. | |
| I think if you wait long enough, you will detect politics in everything. | |
| Now, let's do a quick comparison. | |
| When Roger Clemens was accused of doping, the sports media turned on him like that. | |
| He was guilty. | |
| Lied to Congress, they needed to throw him away and throw away the key at the same time. | |
| They were just, I'll never forget it. | |
| I thought Clemens was this beloved sports figure, but when this happened, the media turned on Clemens. | |
| Now, it'd be interesting to watch the media deal with Lance Armstrong and how they react to this. | |
| But, and it won't take long. | |
| In fact, we got a couple soundbites from the CBS early morning show today. | |
| In fact, let's play those. | |
| Let's get those out of the way. | |
| It was Charlie Rose talking to Bicycling Magazine editor-in-chief, Peter Flax, about Lance Armstrong dropping his challenge against charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs. | |
| I'll tell you, Lance Armstrong is a hero to millions of people. | |
| He wasn't supposed to survive testicular cancer. | |
| His percentage chances were single-digits. | |
| He got involved with the doctors. | |
| He learned everything he could about it. | |
| He overcame that and goes on to win seven Tours de France, a number of other championships. | |
| He has passed over 500 tests of urine, blood, other bodily fluids, precious and otherwise. | |
| Some of these tests have been random when he didn't know they were going to hell. | |
| He's passed every test. | |
| And here comes this agency that they say it's not a government agency. | |
| It's just a private sector nonprofit. | |
| But I'm not sure that it doesn't have ties to the government. | |
| And they have been after Lance Armstrong and practically every other winner of the Tour de France and other bicycling events. | |
| In Armstrong's case, I think since 1999, they have been after him. | |
| And then yesterday, Armstrong finally, I'm not going to go to arbitration. | |
| I'm not fighting anymore to hell with it. | |
| And so the immediate question is: well, what does that, what does that say? | |
| What is the most natural conclusion? | |
| And sadly, the most natural conclusion is it's guilty. | |
| He's going to stop fighting it. | |
| The next phase of the Armstrong battle with this agency was to go to arbitration. | |
| And that's what he's not going to do. | |
| And he said, look, I'm tired. | |
|
Armstrong's Tattered Reputation
00:15:33
|
|
| I'm tired of putting my family through this. | |
| I'm tired of putting myself through this. | |
| I don't know what more I can do. | |
| He claims they've got no evidence. | |
| They are pursuing him even in retirement. | |
| And so many people think it's a witch hunt. | |
| Many people. | |
| I'll tell you, folks, let me go out a little bit on a limb here. | |
| If you look at what's going on at Penn State University, we had the story a couple of weeks ago about how the entire university might lose its accreditation over what happened with Sandusky in the football program. | |
| If it loses its accreditation, it may as well close up shop. | |
| There's no reason to exist. | |
| If an education from Penn State is said to be worthless. | |
| Now, the Louis Free report at Penn State indicted everybody from Joe Paterno to Spaniard to every underling in the president's office to football coaching staff and so forth. | |
| Prior to this, and that statue of Paterno at the stadium, and there was nobody, there was nobody with a more impeccable reputation for integrity than Joe Paterno. | |
| And now Paterno passes away, and whatever reputation he had, if it's not in tatters, it's seriously questioned. | |
| Paterno politically was a very conservative guy. | |
| I never told anybody this. | |
| But after each of my books came out, I received requests for autographed copies from Coach Paterno. | |
| And I never met him. | |
| I never spoke to him. | |
| But I remember the first book I autographed. | |
| I couldn't believe that Coach Paterno wanted my autograph, wanted to read my book. | |
| I just said it's an honor to sign this to you. | |
| Blah, blah, blah. | |
| He was a for all of his career and for a few months after his death, he was impeccable. | |
| Now it's gone. | |
| His reputation in tatters, finished. | |
| Louis Free, well, no, he can't fight back, but of course that's true. | |
| But even when he was alive, he was doing his best to fight back. | |
| And I don't want anybody to misunderstand. | |
| I'm not trying to say he didn't do anything here. | |
| This whole Sandusky thing is sordid and in itself it's despicable. | |
| But they're trying to make it out like Paterno was Sandusky. | |
| And that I don't believe. | |
| So you have this great, impeccable reputation now totally destroyed, not partially, totally destroyed. | |
| Somebody worth looking up to going. | |
| I do believe that there are forces that want to tear down such people. | |
| We see it every day. | |
| I mean, part and parcel of the purpose of the United States media is to build people up. | |
| You've heard this yourself, build people up and then eventually tear them down. | |
| It's why, ladies and gentlemen, I may inject myself personally. | |
| Here's something I very rarely do. | |
| It is why I have studiously, and I've made the point to you many times, I have studiously avoided any opportunity to let the media have anything to do with my success. | |
| The media didn't make me, meaning you don't list this program because way back long ago, the media said, wow, this is a great show. | |
| This is a funny guy. | |
| You know what? | |
| You need to be listening. | |
| And they weren't doing daily, weekly, positive profiles of me. | |
| You listen here because you found the program on your own or however you found it, and you listen to it, you like it, it's a good show, it provides you whatever you want, and that's it. | |
| And because of that, the media can't tear it apart, but they try. | |
| Doesn't stop them from trying. | |
| You know the drill. | |
| Now we have Lance Armstrong, somebody who is universally respected by people for overcoming incredible odds. | |
| If there was doping in cycling, he clearly wasn't the only one. | |
| Somebody won those Tour de France races. | |
| And there were witnesses. | |
| Lance Armstrong won them. | |
| They haven't found one bit of evidence he doped. | |
| It's just supposition. | |
| And you've got people, oh, I have no question. | |
| I have no doubt that he doped. | |
| There's no evidence of it. | |
| So here's somebody else that's in the process of being ripped to shreds that a lot of people admired and looked up to. | |
| Now, Armstrong's not conservative. | |
| At least as far as anybody knows. | |
| He's not, I don't know that he's actively political in any way, but culturally, he'd be closer tied with the pop culture left than he would anybody else. | |
| Doesn't matter. | |
| They're still after him. | |
| But then when he stops the fight, it's only natural to conclude that there must be something there. | |
| Oh, it is. | |
| It is a personal vendetta. | |
| That's why he puts a personal, if it's not a professional vendetta against success, against achievement, rip it down, tear it apart. | |
| I said, it happens to people in our culture every day. | |
| Media rips people apart after building them up. | |
| It's how small people make themselves feel big. | |
| It's how small, irrelevant people make themselves feel like they matter, is to disqualify the achievements of others or to criticize them or to destroy them. | |
| It's the only way that these little people can build themselves back up or make themselves feel like they're something. | |
| But then, on the other hand, Armstrong is dropping the fight. | |
| And the only natural conclusion is that he's this is what most people are concluding. | |
| He's guilty. | |
| But some are saying they don't care. | |
| Everybody else did it. | |
| And since everybody else was doing it, he might have been doing it. | |
| It was all fair because everybody was doing it. | |
| You know, Floyd Landis, a couple other people that won the Tour de France have been found to be doping, but they haven't found it on Armstrong. | |
| Let's get his audio sound bites. | |
| Peter Flax, bicycling magazine editor-in-chief, talking with Charlie Rose, who said, Is there any doubt, any doubt, Peter, that he in fact used these doping products? | |
| I'm absolutely convinced that he did, but I'm also convinced that he is the victim of a witch hunt, and there's no justice possible here. | |
| The legacy is being shaped on Bicycling's Facebook page. | |
| Hundreds and hundreds of comments, and I'd say 95% of them are pro-Lance people communicating their support for him. | |
| He is guilty, but in a lot of people's eyes, he's still an inspiration. | |
| He still won those tours to France, and it takes some time to see how this all plays out. | |
| Now, here's this guy. | |
| I'm absolutely convinced he did dope. | |
| I'm absolutely convinced. | |
| Has anybody ever seen any evidence? | |
| Some of you have to help me out. | |
| I don't know if there's any evidence. | |
| I'm not aware of it. | |
| I got to take a break. | |
| There's one more soundbite that goes with this. | |
| We'll get to it when we get back. | |
| We got a guy in his truck in South Bend. | |
| Is it Kansas? | |
| South Bend, Kansas. | |
| This is Joe. | |
| Joe, I want to get you in here real quick. | |
| How are you, sir? | |
| Doing good. | |
| You? | |
| Very well. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Yes, the reason I think he's being torn down is because he's an exceptional person. | |
| He did many things in his life that makes him extremely exceptional. | |
| And to a liberal, you cannot be exceptional. | |
| You had to either steal it from somebody else or cheat to get there. | |
| Yeah, that's why I wanted to get old Joe in here because he's singing my tune to a certain extent. | |
| It's like Obama now. | |
| We're not a superpower. | |
| We never were. | |
| All we did was steal from the poor people around the world. | |
| That's how we became a superpower. | |
| And the rich and the successful in America. | |
| Nah, nah, nah, nah. | |
| They just stole it from people. | |
| They had an unfair advantage, or they got lucky or they cheated or something. | |
| And so we're going to spread the wealth and we're going to redistribute. | |
| So liberals do have a big problem with individual achievement. | |
| This Armstrong business, folks, we're told now that Lance Armstrong didn't win those seven tours de France and Penn State didn't win all those football games for 10 years. | |
| The Soviet Union was never this good at rewriting history. | |
| They tried, but the Soviet Union was never this good. | |
| Armstrong has never been found guilty of anything. | |
| He gives up on proving a point after over 500 tests that prove his innocence. | |
| He's simply exhausted. | |
| What more do I have to do? | |
| Now, this agency, United States Anti-Doping Agency, the USADA, it's a taxpayer-funded nonprofit. | |
| They say it's not government, but it's taxpayer-funded. | |
| So it's not simply cut and dried that it isn't a government organization. | |
| They call themselves the anti-doping organization for the United States, created by the Olympic Committee back in 2000. | |
| That's just an amazing thing. | |
| I saw it. | |
| Catherine pointed it out to me last night. | |
| And she admires Lance Armstrong for a host of incredible reasons. | |
| A lot of people do. | |
| A lot of people don't want to believe this and are sick and tired. | |
| This kind of behavior by government agencies. | |
| It's Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. | |
| Here is that second soundbite. | |
| It's Armin Katayan. | |
| CBS this morning, Charlie Rose talking with the bicycling magazine guy, Peter Flax, who in a previous soundbite we heard say he is convinced that Lance Armstrong doped. | |
| He's convinced of it. | |
| But he's also the victim of a witch hunt. | |
| How? | |
| I mean, if he did it and they're trying to track him down, what's the witch hunt? | |
| Witch hunt if he didn't do it. | |
| Now he's into his retirement, and they're still pursuing the guy. | |
| Armstrong says, I've had it. | |
| I've had it. | |
| I got 500 tests. | |
| I passed every test. | |
| They've got no evidence. | |
| I've had it with this. | |
| So Charlie Rose says, okay, Armin Katayan, Armin Katayan is the CBS chief investigative correspondent. | |
| He's on Gumbel's show on HBO or was at one point, Real Sports, is sports investigative guy. | |
| Here's what he said. | |
| This process has become so politicized from going back five years now. | |
| It's not a government agency. | |
| It's a private organization, a nonprofit organization that has a stake in this politically to prove that Lance Armstrong has been doping to send a message to other athletes. | |
| And I don't know when you talk about a fair process and safe sport how much this really adds to that. | |
| So he loses all these titles. | |
| What happens if they just hand the jersey to whomever came in second? | |
| All of those men are convicted dopers, people who've made financial settlements to get out of a doping case. | |
| Well, I spent seven years watching it. | |
| Someone won those Tour de France. | |
| Lance Armstrong did. | |
| I saw it. | |
| Yep, he did. | |
| And other people have doped, and they've proved it on the others. | |
| And they're also talking, Snerdley, they want to take away his endorsement money retroactively. | |
| They want to get every dollar he was ever paid. | |
| He was on the U.S. Postal Service team. | |
| He was on the U.S. Postal Service team, and as such, the team was bankrolled by the Postal Service. | |
| But they want to go after his endorsements, prize money, everything. | |
| They want to strip Lance Armstrong of everything he's got. | |
| Well, Snerdley said, who did he make mad? | |
| Who the hell did he tick off? | |
| That's sadly, it's a legitimate question. | |
| Speaking of this, I was reading Phil Mushnick today. | |
| Oh, speaking of Mushnick's sports columnist, the New York Post, he had a piece earlier this week on politics. | |
| He's an acknowledged Democrat, and he says he's finally become convinced of media bias. | |
| And his story was about David Plough, Obama's advisor, going all over the world, making $100,000 a speech from little countries that can't afford it, advising them on the ins and outs of the U.S. political process. | |
| And Mushnik was like, why the hell is this not a big story? | |
| Why is the media not reporting? | |
| Now, of all the things that are out there that would convince somebody in the media that his buddies are biased, I mean, there's a, but nevertheless, he thinks it's a big story that the media isn't covering the fact that one of Obama's chief advisors is out making $100,000 a speech from little countries that don't have the money to pay it in the first place for advice on how to get in the American political cronyism. | |
| And he's got a point. | |
| Anyway, reading Mushnick today, Mushnick's every Friday, Sunday, and Monday, New York Post. | |
| And he has a thing about Warren Sapp, the former defensive tackle number 99 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. | |
| Sapp has filed for bankruptcy. | |
| One of Mushnik's big causes is the cultural rot that is taking place in sports on television and throughout our society. | |
| And he chronicles it. | |
| And he also is a critic of various sports telecasts, ESPN, this sort of thing. | |
| But he, in discussing this Warren Sapp business, is Warren Sapp filed for bankruptcy. | |
|
Anderson Cooper Defends
00:12:51
|
|
| He's got alimony and child payments and so forth. | |
| And when it listed his assets, Warren Sapp has 240 pairs of Air Jordans. | |
| And I'm thinking, what do you, what do you need 240 pairs of Air Jordans for? | |
| And I, well, I collect stuff. | |
| So maybe it's a collection. | |
| Anyway, just a little side note. | |
| But, yeah, they're going to take everything away from Lance Armstrong. | |
| That's their objective, including all the money. | |
| A random act of journalism. | |
| By the way, Nike is standing by Armstrong. | |
| They're going to keep Armstrong's endorsement contract. | |
| That's what they did with Tiger Woods as well. | |
| I mean, Nike. | |
| Nike loves guys with tood. | |
| Nike loves the guys with attitude. | |
| They love them. | |
| They love the guys that skirt the edge. | |
| I love those guys. | |
| So anyway, random act of journalism on CNN last night. | |
| Everybody was getting emails all night long. | |
| Rush, you got to see this. | |
| Rush, you got to talk about this. | |
| Rush, you got to tell people. | |
| Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz was taken to the woodshed by Wolf Blitzer. | |
| Now, folks, can I say something about this? | |
| We've got a lot of soundbites on this. | |
| And there's no question. | |
| Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz went on CNN and tried to lie about a story in the LA Times and Mitt Romney and Wolf. | |
| No, I'm sorry, it's Anderson Cooper. | |
| Anderson Cooper would not let her get away with it. | |
| Anderson Cooper just jumped down her throat, made her look like the blabber mouth fool that she is. | |
| Now, stopping the, I'm getting emails all night. | |
| The conservative media press came to a stop. | |
| It was stop the presses. | |
| Look what's. | |
| And it struck me how rare real journalism is. | |
| How rare it is that a mainstream media outlet actually questions the honesty and veracity of a Democrat. | |
| How rare that is that when it happened last night on CNN, everybody stopped what they were doing and told everybody they knew about it. | |
| And to me, that alone is an illustration of just how out of whack the media is. | |
| We all know it is. | |
| But it's great to find unique different illustrations of it. | |
| And I think this is a good one. | |
| Here we have, this ought to be happening every day. | |
| I mean, the media loves to say that what they do is speak truth to power or whatever that convoluted phrase is. | |
| The media loves to tell us that they're the ones that are going to make sure the powerful are kept in check. | |
| We are going to make sure that the powerful are held accountable for what they do. | |
| When we find cronyism, of course, they don't anymore. | |
| They align themselves with the power when the power is with Democrats. | |
| There is no interest in holding the powerful accountable. | |
| The only thing the media cares about is the same thing the Democrats care about, and that is defeating, however, necessary conservatives. | |
| Tarring, feathering, discrediting, impugning the character, honesty, and veracity of conservatives, whatever it takes. | |
| The media has joined that. | |
| And here we have a random act of journalism. | |
| Here we have the media actually doing something that ought to be happening every day for everybody in power. | |
| They ought to be doing this to Republicans, conservatives, liberals, Democrats, whoever. | |
| But they never do it with Democrats. | |
| And when they do, it shocks and stuns everybody. | |
| And they looky, looking, that's how rare it is. | |
| So we've got to take a brief obscene profit time out. | |
| We come back. | |
| I'll let you hear this random act of journalism that took place with Anderson Cooper on CNN last night. | |
| It's Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Last night's CNN Anderson Cooper 119 talking to Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, the Democrat National Committee spokeswoman. | |
| Anderson Cooper said, factually speaking, you know what's interesting? | |
| See, the media normally, the reason this stands out is that most people in the media are not journalists. | |
| They're collaborators. | |
| And so when one of them acts like a journalist, it's stopped the presses. | |
| It's jarring. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| Because they are. | |
| They're collaborators. | |
| The media collaborates with the Democrats, pure and simple, with the regime. | |
| Well, I don't know what it is, but they've been going after Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz lately. | |
| When was the last time? | |
| Who was the last time? | |
| Somebody went after Debbie Blabbermouth. | |
| It might have been somebody on Fox. | |
| So anyway, Cooper says to Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, factually speaking, Mitt Romney didn't design or direct the writing of the Republican Party platform. | |
| In particular, the language on abortion is the same as it's been for years. | |
| And you can fault Romney and Ryan as you did for not pushing their position, but you can't say that they designed the abortion section. | |
| Anderson, we definitely can say it because even in the previous platform, Mitt Romney has embraced previous Republican Party platforms and embraced that language and said he'd be delighted to support a constitutional amendment banning all abortion. | |
| You have to acknowledge he has for years publicly said that he supports abortion in the case of rape, incest, and where the life of the mother is at stake. | |
| I can certainly acknowledge that he says that out loud and I think it's very clear that Mitt Romney talks the talk, certainly doesn't walk the walk. | |
| Anderson Cooper is not accepting that. | |
| Do you at least acknowledge that the quote that you gave from the LA Times is completely incorrect? | |
| No, I don't acknowledge that. | |
| I know that's what you're saying, but I can read it to you right now. | |
| What you said is, guess what? | |
| It doesn't matter. | |
| I think what you say does matter. | |
| You're quoting the L.A. Times, and again, you've misquoted them. | |
| And to back up a position. | |
| Anderson. | |
| Anderson, the point of the email, and there's no getting around that, and I would think you would agree that there's no way that a presidential candidate, a party's nominee, can separate themselves from that party's platform. | |
| There is no exception for rape and incest in the Human Life Amendment. | |
| So she's out there. | |
| She is lying. | |
| And she doesn't care what he said. | |
| The thing that Anderson doesn't get through all this is that she doesn't care. | |
| Anderson doesn't care whether she doesn't, Debbie Blabbermouth doesn't care whether what she's saying is true or not. | |
| That's what Anderson does. | |
| The truth is never going to get in the way. | |
| He's trying to tell her, look, you're lying. | |
| Romney is for a rape exception. | |
| And she's trying to tell, no, he's not. | |
| He may say so, but he doesn't believe it. | |
| She's just blatantly lying about it, and she's using the CNN forum to do it. | |
| And Anderson Cooper keeps challenging her. | |
| And it's becoming a daily occurrence now. | |
| Her lies are so blatant that even these hosts, after a while, can't help but accidentally call her out. | |
| Here's the next bite. | |
| I do think accuracy is important, and my job is to point out things that are not factually correct. | |
| What you said, you said, guess what? | |
| The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that the platform was, and I quote, ridden at the direction of Romney's campaign. | |
| That sounds very direct, but that's not actually what the LA Times was saying. | |
| The bottom-line message of our email is that A, women need to know the difference between the two parties and the two presidential candidates on a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices, and that Mitt Romney can say that he's for an exception for rape or incest. | |
| His party platform doesn't reflect that. | |
| By the way, the party platform doesn't talk about it, nor does the Democrat Party platform. | |
| The Democrat Party platform doesn't talk about a rape exception. | |
| Anyway, the great thing here, after all, there's still one more soundbite. | |
| The great thing here is that the Democrats really are in the midst of utter economic decay, in the midst of their own policies wreaking havoc on the middle class. | |
| They are excited to make this about abortion. | |
| Let them, folks, let them. | |
| They are just jazz. | |
| Their whole convention is going to be about abortion. | |
| It's like a knee-jerk reaction to something. | |
| Somebody's tripped them. | |
| The next bite is Anderson, he's so frustrated. | |
| He says, look, he's only really trying to help her. | |
| He tries to look at, Debbie, lying doesn't look good. | |
| You have to understand that. | |
| It's my job on both sides of the out to point out things that are inaccurate is in a fundraising email to misquote something to serve your argument just doesn't seem in the long term to serve your argument very well. | |
| I understand your point, but I think we, I mean, the balance of the email makes the case very clearly. | |
| And the main thrust of the information we're trying to convey is that Mitt Romney is disingenuous when it comes to his position on a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices. | |
| And he's extreme and has embraced an extreme position. | |
| And we want women to know that. | |
| But he hasn't. | |
| He's said he's for the rape exception. | |
| And she's out there on CNN and saying, no, he's just lying about it. | |
| And Anderson Cooper said, but it's not true what you're saying. | |
| Anderson, it doesn't matter. | |
| Don't you get it, pal? | |
| I'm here to advance the agenda. | |
| And Anderson said, well, but look, my job is to hold both sides accountable. | |
| My job is to point out things that are inaccurate. | |
| Come on, Anderson, wake up. | |
| What do you think I came here for? | |
| A lesson on the truth? | |
| I'm here to smear Romney. | |
| And I'm going to smear Romney no matter what you do. | |
| There's nothing you can do, Anderson, to make me smear Romney. | |
| Now, when I got these emails last night from people saying, you've got to watch this, I'll be honest with you. | |
| People told me that Anderson Cooper just creamed Debbie Blabbermount, that she was just embarrassed her to all. | |
| I don't hear that. | |
| I hear him very sheepishly. | |
| You know, Debbie, really, you know what? | |
| What you're saying isn't true. | |
| Don't you think it'd be better if it was a, Anderson, look, you don't understand our fundraising email is designed to lie. | |
| Romney is saying one thing, and it doesn't help us what he's saying. | |
| So we've got to tell people that he's lying. | |
| He doesn't really mean what he's saying. | |
| He's an extremist. | |
| Every Republican is an extremist. | |
| Every Republican wants babies to live. | |
| Oh, John, we can't have that. | |
| Every Republican, because we're the ones killing babies. | |
| But I don't think he profoundly embarrassed. | |
| I don't think she can be embarrassed. | |
| I don't think Biden can be embarrassed. | |
| Oh, speaking of that, Charlie Wrangell. | |
| You're damn right, Biden was talking about slavery, and he's damn right about it. | |
| Yeah, Wrangell's out, you're damn right he was talking about slavery. | |
| Another circle in the wagons around plugs. | |
| Anyway, maybe I'm hearing this differently than you guys, and I didn't see it. | |
| Maybe Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz looked guilty, but as far, okay. | |
| HR says he saw it. | |
| She looked guilty. | |
| Fine. | |
| When you just hear it, she got her message out. | |
| Romney's lying and hates women in his extreme. | |
| Now, it's absurd, and again, it's illustrative of their pursuing the moron vote. | |
| No question about it. | |
| Mitt Romney and Ryan drawing a huge crowd in Michigan. | |
| And get this. | |
| I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. | |
| No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. | |
| They know that this is the place that we were born and raised. | |
| Rado! | |
