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

RUSH: Okay, folks, time to get to the audio sound bites. There are too many good ones and I gotta get to some. But I do want to point something out to you. Mrs. Clinton today in her testimony this morning before the Senate committee<\/a>… Get this, now. Mrs. Clinton said that she has always said the Benghazi attacked was caused by “militants,” and that simply isn\u2019t true. Mrs. Clinton for weeks went out and blamed the video. She blamed protests. She did not blame Al-Qaeda. She said today that she always blamed Al-Qaeda, that she always said that it wasn\u2019t a protest, that it was terrorism.<\/p>\n

Folks, it simply is not true.<\/p>\n

But then again, we should not be surprised when a Clinton lies under oath.<\/line>You see, it all depends on what the definition of “is” is. But she did say that. She cut an ad, a TV ad with Obama that ran in Pakistan blaming the video, blaming this filmmaker. The first hour and a half today at the Senate committee hearing, there wasn\u2019t even a question about the video. Not one question about the video! They blamed all of that on the video for weeks, and there wasn\u2019t one question about it. That\u2019s what I mean about the ruling class circling the wagons. Okay, to the sound bites. Here is Hillary opening the hearing with tears. You know, it was her best moment of the 2008 primaries when she cried. Remember that? She saved herself in New Hampshire, and it always works for Oprah. Lance Armstrong didn\u2019t cry, and people ripped into him.<\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Hillary opening up this morning…<\/p>\n

HILLARY: For me, this is not just a matter of policy. It\u2019s personal. (pause) I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets (choking up) off the plane at Andrews. (voice cracks) I put my arms around the mothers and fathers (voice cracks), the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their children.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, I blamed the video for it. I told them we got this guy and put him in jail because the video did it. Okay, you heard her voice crack and so forth. So let\u2019s go back to that moment in New Hampshire where Hillary tried to rescue her campaign with some tears. This is January 7, 2008.<\/line><\/p>\n

HILLARY 2008: It\u2019s not easy. It\u2019s not easy. Um, and — and I couldn\u2019t do it if I just didn\u2019t, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do. Eh… (sigh) You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. (chokes up) I just don\u2019t want to see us fall backgrounds.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: No. (impression) “I don\u2019t want to see us fall backwards with this Obama guy (crying),” and that resuscitated her campaign. Now, she didn\u2019t get elected, but she was in deep doo-doo, losing cauci and primaries, and New Hampshire saved her bacon, and then it was Operation Chaos (originated and operated by me) that saved her bacon later on in the campaign season. Here is Mrs. Clinton again. She washed her hands of the Susan Rice business right off the bat.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: I personally was not focused on talking points. I was focused on keeping our people safe. I have a very serious, uh, threat environment in Yemen. It turned out we had people getting over that wall in Cairo, doing damage until we got them out. We had a serious threat against our embassy in Tunis. I had to call the president of Tunisia and beg him to send reinforcements, which he did, to finally save our embassy, which could have been disastrous. I wasn\u2019t involved in the talking points process.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What she\u2019s saying there is, “Don\u2019t saddle me with Susan Rice! I don\u2019t care what Susan Rice said. Susan Rice went on those shows and blamed the video. I was too busy saving America. I was too busy saving ambassadors. I was too busy working. I didn\u2019t have anything to do with talking points. Screw you!” That\u2019s what that sound bite was. Now, this is, for many people, I guess the highlight and high point. After about an hour and 15 minutes of kissing her butt — and, by the way, I\u2019ve never seen anything like this today.<\/p>\n

The fawning over Hillary Clinton was just unprecedented. If you have a chance, go to RushLimbaugh.com and get hold of my monologue in the first hour<\/a>. I\u2019m running out of time and I don\u2019t want to repeat it, but I\u2019ve never seen anything like it. After an hour and 15 minutes of having her butt kissed, a Republican finally asked a simple question that got under her skin. It was Republican senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson. He said, “We were misled that there were supposedly protests and an assault sprang out of that, and it was easily ascertained that it was not the fact. The American people could have known that within days, but they didn\u2019t know that.”<\/p>\n

In other words: You guys kept talking about the video, and it wasn\u2019t the video. This was a planned attack.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (shouting) With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans.<\/p>\n

JOHNSON: I understand.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Was it because of a protest or was it because guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference does it make? It is our job to figure what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s flat-out —<\/p>\n

HILLARY: It is, from my perspective —<\/p>\n

RUSH: — bulls–t, folks.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: — less important today, looking backwards, as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice.<\/line>
