RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 22. This is illustrative. We have an audio sound bite here from the Fox News Channel this morning. Happening Now is the show. That\u2019s the show that\u2019s on 11 o\u2019clock eastern, from like 11 to one. The cohost is Jon Scott, and he had on there as one of his guests the former reporter for the New York Times, Judy Miller, and she\u2019s also a Fox News analyst or commentator. You might remember, she went to jail during the last years of Bush regime for not revealing sources or some such thing. <\/p>\n

When she got out of jail, she\u2019d lost some weight, and she was a heroine in the media for taking a bullet. It\u2019s amazing. She\u2019s got the reputation that she\u2019s the best, she is one of the best foreign policy reporters ever to have walked the earth, and every time I hear her open her mouth, I… Well, I would say this: There are just things she doesn\u2019t know, ignorant, and this is an example here of it. I think it\u2019s illustrative.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019m probably not alone in this. It\u2019s a classic example that these people who idolize Obama don\u2019t even know who the guy is. (interruption) That\u2019s right, Judy Miller went to the clink for not revealing sources for this Scooter Libby, Valerie Plame non-scandal. That\u2019s what it was. So, anyway, the first thing Jon Scott did for Judy Miller, is he played a clip. We had this yesterday, but I didn\u2019t get to it because I know that you don\u2019t tune in here to hear Obama sound bites. <\/p>\n

But Obama attacked talk radio in what should have been a great celebratory press conference. He went out there to take credit for getting the government open and beating back the Tea Party and all that, and instead he went out there and started railing against the talking heads on talk radio, which means that I\u2019m living free in his brain, and he attacked lobbyists and bloggers and all that. Jon Scott then said, “He was clearly reading that off the teleprompter, Judy. I mean, this wasn\u2019t something he ad-libbed. This is something they prepared. They wanted to make that point. <\/p>\n

“Who are these ‘bloggers and pundits\u2019 that Barack Obama is so upset with?”<\/p>\n

MILLER: Right. Well, this is kind of vintage Obama, and it\u2019s getting to be a little mystifying, because on the shutdown the president won big time. I mean, look at the drop in the Republican numbers. He should have been proclaiming victory, he should have been singing a kumbaya moment, wrapping his arms around Rush Limbaugh and saying, “Come on over for a beer.” But instead, he singles people out who disagree with him. He says… You know, he suggests yet again bloggers are not journalists; Fox News is not a news network. He didn\u2019t say that this time. People who disagree with him are not, somehow, patriotic Americans who want what\u2019s best for the country. I don\u2019t know why he does that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “I don\u2019t know why he does that.” <\/p>\n

I wonder if Judy Miller has heard of Saul Alinsky and his book Rules for Radicals, which was dedicated to Lucifer, “the first radical.” I wonder if she\u2019s aware that Obama is a disciple. I wonder if she knows that. I\u2019m serious. I wonder — and if Judy Miller doesn\u2019t know, then Brian Williams doesn\u2019t know, and nobody out there does. Take your pick. Bob Schieffer. Take your pick of any journalist; they don\u2019t know. If she doesn\u2019t know, they don\u2019t know. That his number one objective is not to be friends with his enemies and celebrate, not to put his arms around people and have a beer. His objective is to wipe his enemies out, to eliminate them, to get them off the playing field. <\/p>\n

He does not like his enemies even after he beats them. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s clueless about this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It really is interesting to me. I don\u2019t know why, but it is. I know the Drive-Bys are in the tank, but I think I\u2019m maybe like you. They\u2019re not nearly as smart as we think they are, and we don\u2019t think they\u2019re smart because of what we see from them. We think they\u2019re smart because we think it would require that to get that job. I mean, not everybody can get a job at ABC or CBS. Well, now actually they can. But it used to not be that way, and I always make the mistake of overestimating these people, of thinking they\u2019re curious, thinking that they…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know they\u2019re liberal and I know they\u2019re advancing an agenda and all that, but I think they\u2019d at least… If you\u2019re gonna love a guy, know why. If you\u2019re gonna love Obama, ask: Why do you love Obama? You gotta love Obama \u2019cause he\u2019s trying to wipe out conservatives. You gotta love Obama if you love Obama because he\u2019s trying to eliminate Republicans. If you\u2019re not gonna get upset at Obama using the IRS on the Tea Party, then you gotta agree that the Tea Party\u2019s gotta go. <\/p>\n

I mean, Obama makes no secret — I don\u2019t know how many times we\u2019ve played the audio sound bites — of his feelings toward political opposition. Look at the way he\u2019s won elections. He doesn\u2019t beat people. He gets them thrown out of the race. He gets, in the case of one Senate opponent, sealed divorce records released that detailed a guy and his wife going to sex clubs in Paris or some such thing. Bam! Thrown out. They quit the race and Republicans had to send Alan Keyes in there as a placeholder. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s how Obama does it. <\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s an angry guy. He\u2019s got a chip on his shoulder. These people don\u2019t know this? She really doesn\u2019t, folks. She\u2019s not just talking to hear her head rattle, here. “I don\u2019t know why he does this. I don\u2019t know why that he doesn\u2019t come up and, like, Reagan and Tip,” which never happened, either, by the way<\/a>. “I don\u2019t know why he does this. Why is he not happy?” He\u2019s not happy, Judy, because he resents the hell outta what happened the last two weeks! He\u2019s not happy because: How dare these people oppose him!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t they know who he is? <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

He\u2019s not happy because everybody\u2019s not down on their knees begging Obama to pay them any attention. What is so hard about this? This is not psychological analysis. Simply reading things and listening to what Obama says, you know it. What she\u2019s talking about, is he really gave the Republicans a scolding yesterday. I mean, he was ticked off, even after he won. So winning didn\u2019t make him happy; it ticked him off even more that he had to go through the process. <\/p>\n

He just doesn\u2019t like opposition. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s insulted by opposition. <\/p>\n

“How dare they?” <\/p>\n

He said, “If you don\u2019t like a particular policy, if you don\u2019t like a particular president, well, then argue for your position, go out there and win an election. Push to change it.” Well, maybe somebody should remind Obama that House Republicans and Ted Cruz and Mike Lee<\/a> did win elections, and they won elections because of specific elements of their campaigns, and they campaigned on the promise to oppose Obamacare, and so they get down and they did what they could to stop it. <\/p>\n

They did exactly what they were elected to do. They did get elected. They did try to stop Obamacare. They just didn\u2019t run for president. They did argue their position. Obama doesn\u2019t even do that! When you get right down to it, he didn\u2019t argue his position. You know what he does? He employs the media in a mass campaign to destroy the reputations and the character of his opponents. Look at what they did to Mitt Romney. <\/p>\n

Obama did not once engage Romney in the arena of ideas. No, they ran adds about how Romney didn\u2019t care about his dog because the dog\u2019s on the roof of the station wagon on a vacation. Romney didn\u2019t care that some guy\u2019s wife died <\/a>at his company because they didn\u2019t give him health care or some such thing. I mean, the stuff they said about Mitt Romney outside of politics was nearly criminal, and certainly actionable. That\u2019s what Obama does, and the media sits around and they applaud this! <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we think they\u2019re in the on the game, and they are. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you something else, folks, as long as we\u2019re doing deep insight here. There\u2019s another reason why Obama wasn\u2019t happy yesterday and isn\u2019t happy today. It\u2019s because he knows that Ted Cruz<\/a> and Mike Lee aren\u2019t going anywhere. He knows that the Tea Party isn\u2019t going anywhere. He knows that they\u2019re gonna be right back the minute he goes for amnesty, the minute he goes for the Second Amendment, the minute he goes for whatever else is next. They\u2019re gonna be right there fighting it all over again. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s mad they exist. He\u2019s mad they\u2019re there. He\u2019s ticked off that when they lose, they don\u2019t understand that they\u2019re supposed to just slink away, act embarrassed, beg forgiveness, and resign. He\u2019s mad because he still has opposition, and he knows they\u2019re not going away. I\u2019ll tell you something else he knows. He knows that he really, in the long term, may not have won this — and while that may surprise you, what I mean to say is: The Republicans, the Tea Party did not lose this. <\/p>\n

I shared with you the Peter Beinart piece yesterday which dovetailed with the points I\u2019ve been trying to make for two weeks. Obama was not a big winner here. In fact, the case could be made that his agenda has been brought to a screeching halt. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
