\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, we had a calle<\/a>r talking about media reaction to Ted Cruz\u2019s speech or filibuster<\/a> and how it angered her. Let\u2019s listen to some of that because we have our share of it just as an illustration. This is yesterday, the Atlantic magazine had a Women of Washington forum series. Snerdley, don\u2019t you wish you\u2019d been able to go to that? Women of Washington. I mean, how many testicle lockboxes do you think were at this forum? Washington women? Ha! <\/p>\n

Anyway, The Atlantic put this thing on, and they got Karen Finney, who\u2019s a Democrat strategist and an MSNBC infobabe, interviewing Democrat Senator Patty Murray. Now, this is the Brit Hume talking point, which is the Republican Party\u2019s run completely on fear of me. And here\u2019s how this sound bite goes.<\/p>\n

FINNEY: Their like, “Oh, we can\u2019t do that. We can\u2019t speak out against Rush.” Right? “But he\u2019s not a leader in our party. But don\u00c2\u2019t think that. It\u00c2\u2019s not that. It\u00c2\u2019s just we can\u00c2\u2019t say anything.” And similarly, you know, you hear that kind of conversation about the Tea Party people.<\/line><\/p>\n

MURRAY: That\u2019s leading from a point of fear. And people don\u2019t support fear. They want, whether you\u00c2\u2019re a CEO of a company or a whether you are a legislator, or you know, whatever role you have, they want to be confident in their leader. If you\u00c2\u2019re confident in yourself people will be confident in you. And they need to take him on.<\/p>\n

FINNEY: They do. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Who are they talking about, me or Cruz? I don\u2019t know who they\u2019re talking about here, because my name, “Well, they can\u2019t do that. We can\u2019t speak out against Rush, right? He\u2019s not a leader, but don\u2019t think that, it\u2019s not that. We just can\u2019t say anything.” They\u2019re talking about me! They need to take me on. This is the Brit Hume talking point. The Republican Party — this is what they\u2019re saying — Republican Party is run completely on fear of Rush Limbaugh<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I asked Cruz yesterday, you mighta heard, I said, “Senator, are you afraid of me?” Snerdley and everybody thought that\u2019s gonna be the pull quote of the interview. No, no, no, because Cruz laughed at it and swatted it away, so of course nobody in the Drive-Bys is mentioning that I asked Cruz that question. But this is what got me. This is a Democrat talking point, and here it is on Fox News, that all these Republicans are afraid of me, and that their fear of me is what\u2019s standing in the way of them doing the right thing. Brit Hume was on O\u2019Reilly\u2019s show. <\/p>\n

Okay, here\u2019s another one. This is The Situation Room on CNN with Jessica Yellin reporting about Ted Cruz\u2019s filibuster. Now, get this one.<\/p>\n

YELLIN: Karl Rove called it an ill-conceived and self-defeating strategy. Guess what? Cruz loves the hate<\/a>. He told Rush Limbaugh —<\/line><\/p>\n

CRUZ: The single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.<\/p>\n

YELLIN: You know who else does? Conservatives in a crucial primary state, Iowa.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I read the transcript here and I just listen to this, and I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s talking about, and she is an infobabe at CNN. Can I run this by you? Okay, I don\u2019t know the question, just her report. Karl Rove called what Cruz did, his filibuster, Karl Rove called it an ill-conceived and self-defeating strategy. And guess what? Cruz loves the hate. What? So Karl Rove hates Cruz is what this means and Cruz loves the fact that he\u2019s hated by the Republican Party. That\u2019s what she\u2019s saying here. <\/p>\n

Cruz loves the hate? Did Cruz say anything about hate? These people have to use the word “hate” and associate it with conservatives every chance they get. The truth is they\u2019re the ones that hate us. It\u2019s the media that\u2019s afraid of me, not Ted Cruz. It\u2019s the Democrats who are afraid of me, not Ted Cruz. There may be some Republicans, but that\u2019s silly. And then, they quote Cruz, “the single biggest surprise on arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.” I thought that was huge news yesterday. Ted Cruz said at every luncheon of the Republican senators they never talk about how to win. He said they never talk about winning anything. He said, “Rush, if you had to attend one of these lunches, you\u2019d be in therapy for a year.” <\/p>\n

Okay, so Cruz is quoted in this piece as saying, “The single biggest surprise in arriving at the Senate is the defeatist attitude here,” and Jessica Yellin reacts to that by saying, “You know who else does? Conservatives in a crucial primary state, Iowa.” What is that about? Cruz\u2019s single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the “defeatist attitude.” “You know who else does? Conservatives in a crucial primary state.” I guess she\u2019s saying that conservatives in Iowa have a defeatist attitude? <\/p>\n

Is that what she\u2019s saying? <\/p>\n

No. “The single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.” That\u2019s Cruz. Then she says, “You know who else does?” Who else “does” what? (interruption) Maybe it\u2019s they enjoy hate? Oh. Maybe she\u2019s saying that the conservatives in Iowa also enjoy the hate. It\u2019s impossible to decipher. I have no idea. This is a reporter for CNN, and we have no idea what she\u2019s saying. No idea. Well, I know the words. I don\u2019t know what the point she\u2019s making is. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see. We have a Democrat hate montage here, calling Republicans arsonists, terrorists, rapists, hostage takers. You talk about who hates? Listen to this.<\/p>\n

CHUCK SCHUMER: You can\u2019t have someone put a gun to your head.<\/p>\n

MARK ZANDI: You can only put the gun to your head so many times.<\/p>\n

HARRY REID: (whispering) We\u2019re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists, Republican fanatics. <\/p>\n

NANCY PELOSI: I call them “legislative arsonists.” <\/p>\n

KIRSTEN POWERS: The fringe of their party.<\/p>\n

TAMARA HOLDER: They are raping the American people.<\/p>\n

STENY HOYER: It is a blatant act of hostage taking.<\/p>\n

PETER KING: Holding the entire Congress hostage.<\/p>\n

MIKE VIQUEIRA: (background noise) Republicans hold the Affordable Care Act hostage!<\/p>\n

BARBARA LEE: The Affordable Care Act would be held hostage.<\/p>\n

ROBERT GIBBS: …hold the running of government hostage<\/p>\n

BILL PASCRELL: (rotunda noise) We are not going to be held hostage by Mr. Cruz.<\/p>\n

BILL MAHER: The House Republicans are holding hostage… <\/p>\n

CYNTHIA TUCKER: A bunch of terrorists, who will have taken the country hostage. <\/p>\n

BARACK OBAMA: (godlike echo) They\u00c2\u2019re holding the whole country hostage. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is a standard Democrat line on every issue that comes down the pike. The Republicans are holding Congress or whoever, whatever, whenever, hostage. But they\u2019re not “haters,” folks. People who talk like this accuse us of being anarchists and bomb throwers and hostage takers and terrorists? But they are never described as haters. Here\u2019s Peter King, congressman from New York. I thought he was a Fox News commentator. I didn\u2019t know he was a congressman from New York. When does he have time to be at Congress? He\u2019s always on Fox. Every time I turn around and look at Fox, there\u2019s Peter King there. Anyway, I\u2019ve never heard him attack Harry Reid or Pelosi or any of them, but listen to what he said about Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n

KING: No, to me this is like the Charge of the Light Brigade or like Gallipoli or like, uh, a kamikaze pilot and he\u2019s not standing on principle. First of all, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s standing on but he\u2019s standing for a strategy that can\u2019t work. It\u2019s gonna personally help him as far as his political status but it\u2019s going to be bad for the country, bad for the Republican Party. If I asked my constituents — and those I\u2019ve spoken to think he\u2019s crazy. They know what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not, and they know a guy who\u2019s being basically a, uh, almost like a medicine man here selling goods that he knows are phony goods.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Peter — seriously, now — do you really mean that? Have you ever described Obama as “a medicine man selling goods that he knows are phony goods”? Have you ever once thought about describing your real political opponents that way? So here you\u2019ve got this dreadful, awful thing called Obamacare, and you\u2019ve got one guy trying to stop it, and the Republican Party goes after that guy — not the awful thing, Obamacare, and not the people who are responsible for it at the Democrats. <\/p>\n

If the Republicans want to know why four million of \u2019em sat home on Election Day, and why their campaign donations are down, it\u2019s this kind of thing. Where is this kind of combativeness against the real political opponents of the Republicans, the Democrats? Ted Cruz is a medicine man? This guy says, “I talk to my constituents and everybody out there thinks he\u2019s crazy”? So I guess it\u2019s Anderson Cooper was interviewing… (interruption) Oh, King wasn\u2019t on Fox, he was on CNN? Oh. He gets around. <\/p>\n

Anderson Cooper then said to Peter King, “It is unusual for a member of Congress to be so tough on a member of his own party, Peter. I mean, saying that he\u2019s a fraud? Why are you speaking out like this.”<\/line><\/p>\n

KING: I don\u2019t think we owe any loyalty to Ted Cruz. He spent, you know, the last months of the summer trying to put Republicans on the spot, trying, uh, to force — eh, basically intimidate Republican members of Congress to vote his way with the implicit threats of primaries. Eh, he had no — no regard or respect for, uh, eh, us. So why should we be concerned about him at all? I mean, I\u2019ve never seen anyone as unpopular in Republican circles as Ted Cruz, but he continues to do, and it\u2019s just creating real — again, real problems for the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: These people, they don\u2019t see it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Queens. This is Lee. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking the call. I want to talk about the process of lumping all of government spending into one big, giant, miscellaneous spending bill and how grandma is not gonna get her Social Security check unless we fund all these other programs. Every year, grandma\u2019s check is gonna be held unless we fund whatever else they want. I think this process is an iron grip over the entire economy, and it\u2019s completely government manufactured.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, because you know why? Even when there\u2019s a government shutdown, grandma gets her check.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Even when that happens, grandma gets paid. But what you\u2019re saying is… If I understood what you\u2019re saying — and I might not have, which would not be your fault, it would be mine. What you\u2019re saying is that what the government does is essentially hold hostage every bit of spending to the concerns of the elderly and whether or not they\u2019re gonna get their Social Security.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I mean, I just use that as an example. It could be the military, it could be whatever program, and if Boehner was actually serious… I mean, I have my doubts about that vote because he coulda sent something over that he knew was just gonna get shot down, but if he was truly serious, he can send over separate bills to fund the military, separate bills to fund Social Security, whatever it is, and just don\u2019t send the bill over to fund Obamacare. You know? And then what is Obama gonna say about a government shutdown if he\u2019s sitting there looking at a pure, clean bill to fund each of these programs?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the problem is… Look, you\u2019re exactly right. The problem from, like, Boehner\u2019s perspective is that no matter what he does, the media is going to say he and the Republicans are denying grandma her check. No matter what he does, no matter what trick, no matter what smart thing he does. This is what they\u2019re afraid of.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, we\u2019re up to audio sound bite number six. The unbridled hate for Ted Cruz is striking. I think back to the Watergate days, the Nixon days. Those of you who were not alive then or were too young in the seventies and eighties to care or pay any attention to this kind of thing, I can\u2019t describe for you how utterly despised Richard Nixon was by the Democrats of the day and the media. <\/p>\n

You think that they hated George W. Bush or name anybody today that you think they hate, and you\u2019re not even getting close to the almost rabid hatred for Richard Nixon. Now, you might be asking, “Well, what was it about?” There is an answer to this that engenders almost as much hate, but it is about a man by the name of Alger Hiss. Two things here. Alger Hiss was proven to be a communist spy back during forties and fifties. <\/line><\/p>\n

The Democrat Party and the left of the day loved Alger Hiss, and they hated Nixon for exposing him. To this day, Nixon is hated for having exposed — successfully exposed — Alger Hiss as a communist spy working in the State Department. He was at the high levels, and Nixon got him, and they hated Nixon for it. Nixon also had the audacity to defeat a woman for public office by the name of Helen Douglas, Helen Gahagan Douglas. <\/p>\n

For some reason, they just hated Nixon for the campaign he ran against this angelic, peaceful little librarian woman. She was not that, but it\u2019s how she was portrayed. Nixon didn\u2019t like being hated, so Nixon attempted to curry favor with his enemies. So he grew government like no Republican ever has, and it bought him nothing. I don\u2019t know why that lesson is not learned today. <\/p>\n

Nixon gave them OSHA. <\/line><\/p>\n

Nixon gave them the Environmental Protection Agency. <\/p>\n

Nixon gave them wage and price controls. <\/p>\n

Nixon gave them I don\u2019t know how many bureaucracies.<\/p>\n

Nixon gave \u2019em affirmative action.<\/p>\n

He gave \u2019em everything! He was did everything he could to not be hated. Nixon was a guy… You know what? Richard Nixon\u2019s wife was named Pat. He loved that woman from teenage days. He would drive her on her dates with other guys just so he could be with her. I don\u2019t know how that was arranged. Maybe he was the only one who had a car and he offered to drive her and her dates around. He was considered socially awkward. <\/p>\n

He was a brilliant politician, but they hated him. I mean, they literally despised him. But my point is, even in those days of Watergate, the Republicans then went to the White House (led by Howard Baker) and privately and behind closed doors, they let Nixon have it. They told him they don\u2019t support him and that he was destroying the party, but they didn\u2019t do it publicly, for the longest time. At the end, I mean everybody joined in.<\/p>\n

But what they\u2019re doing to Ted Cruz is public. My point is, what the Republican Party and its associates are doing to Ted Cruz wasn\u2019t even done to Nixon, and Nixon was despised. I cannot emphasize enough how despised he was and is, to this day. They thought they had sent Nixon away forever, and he comes back and he wins the presidency in \u201968 in the midst of the Vietnam War; then he brought Kissinger in, and they opened the doors to China. <\/p>\n

They hated everything about him. But the Republicans, during the Watergate era, very privately went up to the White House and told Nixon that they couldn\u2019t support him. They didn\u2019t go in public until the last days of it all, like is happening with Ted Cruz. There was no Peter King of the Nixon era going on television, trashing Nixon in the midst of it. Now, Ted Cruz spoke for 21 hours, and everybody talks about all the hate and this and all the craziness.<\/p>\n

But nobody\u2019s quoted anything. For twenty-one hours, Ted Cruz spoke, and nobody\u2019s quoted craziness. Nobody\u2019s pointed to what he said as nuts, mean-spirited, extremist mean, hateful or what have you. Twenty-one hours straight. For his part, Ted Cruz didn\u2019t personally attack anybody in his 21 hours. But yet the long knives are out, and this is not just the Republicans.<\/p>\n

This is the Washington establishment circling the wagons and making sure that any outsider is head off, cut off at the pass. “No outsider is gonna come in here and upset the applecart and destroy what they have going.” So we go back to the sound bites in this context, and CBS This Morning today, Charlie Rose speaking with the political director of CBS News, John Dickerson, about Cruz\u2019s filibuster. Charlie Rose says: So, John, old buddy, old pal, “What did Ted Cruz achieve?”<\/p>\n

DICKERSON: Talking to senators, Republican senators, they have very dark feelings about Senator Cruz. They think he wasted time. They think he gave the party a black eye, infighting among Republicans instead of keeping them together so they could fight the president. So he\u2019s got some enemies now. They thought this was so foolish. Yes, be against Obamacare, but don\u2019t do it in this dumb way. That was what other Republican senators were saying.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, are they against it, too? I didn\u2019t know. Are there other Republican senators against Obamacare other than Ted Cruz and Mike Lee? I didn\u2019t know there were. Be against it how? What is the smart way to be against Obamacare, hmm? What is that? Yeah, “don\u2019t do it in this dumb way”? Well, what\u2019s the smart way? They think he wasted time? He gave the party a black eye? Infighting among the Republicans? This is all because he didn\u2019t tell \u2019em in advance what he was gonna do, and I asked him about that. Here\u2019s David “Rodham” Gergen, who\u2019s the architect of conventional wisdom in Washington, last night on CNN. These are his comments on Cruz and the filibuster.<\/p>\n

GERGEN: For vast majority of Americans looking at this, they\u2019re shaking their heads again saying, “What is going wrong in the Republican Party? Why are we being treated like this? Is this guy really ready for prime time?” From my point of view, yes, the Republican Party has to fight. But if it strikes people that the base has moved so far as to become extreme, the growing opportunity for Republicans to take back the Senate next year and to take back the White House in 2016 is going to be blown if people think the party has been taken hostage by extremists.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: And the Republican Party has been winning the Senate lately by doing what? Oh. Excuse me. They\u2019re not. They haven\u2019t won in the Senate in a long time. Never mind.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so the throat. That\u2019s what I call David “Rodham” Gergen. It sounds like he\u2019s speaking right from the throat, Adam\u2019s apple. David “Rodham” Gergen says that the Republican Party, it\u2019s coming off as just way too extreme. What\u2019s wrong with the Republican Party, people are asking. Wait a minute. Last I looked, 80% of the country opposes Obamacare, in one poll. In one poll, 12% support it. In another poll, 40% support it. Most of the country, vast, clear majority must be extremists because they don\u2019t want Obamacare. Poll after poll, I don\u2019t care which one. So really, with whom is Ted Cruz aligned here? <\/p>\n

The vast majority of Americans are vehemently opposed to Obamacare, so what is extreme about that? The extremists, by this definition, are the minority that support it. I mean, it really is a new day when being for smaller government, more limited government, being for the Constitution is now called extremism, terrorism. Defending the Constitution, standing for the things the Founders stood for is called extremism and terrorism, according to the Washington establishment now. God knows what would have David Gergen called the Founders if he\u2019da been around doing commentary? What would he have called the Founders? <\/p>\n

These guys woulda all been defending King George III. These guys would have been on the sides of the Redcoats. And Jefferson and Washington and the boys would have been the malcontents and the extremists and they\u2019d be upsetting the applecart. The Founders who actually took up arms for liberty and for a smaller, less intrusive government, in the eyes of our current pundit class, would have been nuts and bitter clingers, hanging onto their guns and so forth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
