Ashcroft\u2019s a family values Christian, he\u2019s the attorney general, and he\u2019s speaking in front of a statue of a nude woman, the bared breasts, and there was a lot of commotion about it. But Obama spoke, and there was a giant picture, pennant, whatever, of Yasser Arafat three times the size of Obama.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, that\u2019s how big this picture of Arafat was, and everybody sending this to me thinks it\u2019s a major mistake. I look at it and say, &#8220;What\u2019s the big deal? Nobody knows who Arafat is, and the people who do don\u2019t think there was anything wrong with him.&#8221; Arafat was a more frequent guest at the Clinton White House than Barbra Streisand or Kathleen Willey, or even Lewinsky. As far as the low-information voters are concerned, Arafat led the oppressed who are being denied their chance at freedom (and gay marriage and clean sewage and whatever else they want) by the oppressive Israelis.<\/p>\n<p>We live in a different age.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no negative attachment to Obama underneath the picture of Arafat, precisely because the low-information voters aren\u2019t revved up about it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m thinking of this picture of Obama in front of Yasser Arafat. Do you realize that when most people in America see that they\u2019re gonna think it\u2019s a picture of Ringo Starr? They\u2019re not even gonna know who Arafat is. It\u2019s only people like you and me. Remember when Obama was making a speech at Georgetown, and he demanded that a religious symbol be covered? It was a picture of Jesus, something to do with Christ, and he demanded it be covered up or moved out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>But the Arafat thing was no big deal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Somebody\u2019s gonna have to explain something to me &#8212; again, within the context of low-information voters.
