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

RUSH: This is Fred in Brooklyn. Hi, Fred. Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, after 20 years of listening, I can\u2019t believe I got through.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s your big showbiz break. Here you are.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You, sir, have educated me and changed the course of my life more than I can ever thank you for. I\u2019m watching all the news. I\u2019m even talking amongst friends. Why is no one calling yesterday\u2019s shooting terrorism?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me ask you to take a stab at that yourself, Fred. Why do you think?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think that the mainstream media is protecting Obama, who would like to be elevated as the top president ever against terrorism.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that might be a factor, although you know that\u2019s a real stretch. I think that the reason — before I tell you what the answer is, why do you think it is terrorism?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why do I think what, sir?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you think it is terrorism? You think it is. They\u2019re not calling it —<\/p>\n

CALLER: It happened on a military base. It has a lot of similarities to major Nidal Hasan, except he didn\u2019t live through his act of terrorism to explain why he did it. It\u2019s almost a reflection of the other terrorism thing that was called a workplace problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s why it\u2019s terrorism. It is terrorism because we shut down the United States Senate. It\u2019s terrorism because we canceled a baseball game. The Washington Nationals and whoever else. The only thing it didn\u2019t cancel was Obama trashing the Republicans<\/a> for trying to prevent a disaster from being implemented, Obamacare. Outside of that, how can you not call it terrorism when the Senate says, “We\u2019re outta here.”? How can you not call it terrorism when the people responsible for putting on the Washington Nationals game think it would be safer and more respectful and whatever else to cancel the game? Of course it\u2019s terrorism. <\/p>\n

The answer to your question, terrorism, as a word, means militant Islamists. And that\u2019s what is not gonna be permitted to be considered. So if we call it terrorism, then the regime thinks and the media thinks that people are going to start blaming militant Islamists, so, as far as that\u2019s concerned, only militant Islamists can engage in terrorism. This was just a really, really bad crime that was the fault of guns and their availability. This is an incident that, when it happens, the Democrats first thing they say is, “Okay, did a right-winger do it, or did the guy who did it listen to right-wing radio or Fox News?” That\u2019s the first thing. “Is he a Tea Party guy?” It\u2019s the first thing they look at. Then the next thing they look at is race. “Okay, what\u2019s the race of the shooter, is he white?”<\/p>\n

<\/a>They hope that it\u2019s a white Tea Party member. That\u2019s how they start the coverage of these events. Hey, folks, I give you Brian Ross. The most recent shooting in Colorado. Brian Ross goes on ABC (paraphrasing), “Guess what we found? We found a guy, member of a Tea Party group in Colorado that\u2019s got the same name. Now, we can\u2019t be sure…” Well, then why are you putting it out if you can\u2019t be sure? They wanted the Colorado shooter to be a white conservative. Remember the Boston Marathon bombing, some reporter actually said, “Oh, my God, I hope it\u2019s not a dark-skinned guy. Oh, my God, oh, my God, I hope whoever did it is white.” The first thing they hope is it\u2019s a white Tea Party conservative. When that isn\u2019t the case they hope it\u2019s just white. Then they hope it\u2019s not Muslim. Then if all those are met, coast is clear, it\u2019s the problem of guns. And that\u2019s where we are, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s not terrorism. It\u2019s guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
