A shooting at a school, 26 people dead, including 18 children.  It\u2019s just awful.  It is terrible, incomprehensible.  But I\u2019m gonna tell you something.  As we sit here at this very moment, you know it and I know it, there are liberals trying to find a way to blame this on conservatives and Republicans.  It may sound a little hard-edged to say that, but I\u2019ve lived through these things for 25-plus years. <\/p>\n<p>Every such incident as this, even Hurricane Katrina, they tried to blame on Bush.  We actually had people saying he didn\u2019t care. He wanted to steer it if he could have to get rid of the population there.  So we shall soon see.  It won\u2019t be long.  Gabby Giffords shooting, you name it.  Any incident like this.  There was The Dark Knight Rises <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14292\">shooting in Aurora<\/a>, Colorado. Brian Ross, ABC News, blamed it on the Tea Party.  So it may sound a little hard-edged to say it, but I\u2019m telling you, there are elements of the mainstream media who are doing everything they can, their number one objective is to see if there\u2019s anything they can blame on conservative media or Republican policies or the Second Amendment. I don\u2019t care what it is, you know that that\u2019s coming.  I just want to get it out there and prepare you for it. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Even as I was explaining and reacting to this horrible shooting in Newtown, Connecticut&#8230; Maybe, what, 14, 16, 18 children are dead. Some are only four or five years old. Even as I was saying\/predicting that the left\/the media were trying to figure out how they could blame this on conservatives &#8212; or politicize it, turn it into an event to advance their agenda&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.mediaite.com\/embed\/player\/?content=QL62VW39X1Z1F2JZ&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;layout=&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;widget_type_cid=svp&amp;read_more=1\" width=\"585\" height=\"421\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As I was saying that, a hostette at MSNBC, Alex Wagner, said, &#8220;Hopefully, this shooting will result in political capital to reform gun laws. It is hopefully &#8212; and we say this every single time we cover one of these things. There\u2019s gotta be some kind of measurable change, some kind of reaction. One would hope there would be some political capital to reform the way in which we handle gun and gun violence in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019re already calculating. That\u2019s what so peeves me about these people. You\u2019ve got a horrible event here, and they\u2019re already looking to politicize it. It\u2019s not what it is. It\u2019s an opportunity! These people look at stuff like this as an opportunity (it\u2019s sickening) to advance their agenda or blame conservatives. The shooter\u2019s dead. CBS says a second person is in custody. Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, has already been asked if the shooting will help advance gun control.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  By the way, to all you leftists who, in a sickening fashion, are trying to conceive ways to politicize this just awful incident in Newtown, Connecticut, trying to find a way to get rid of guns, trying to find a way to politicize this and advance your agenda, let me just point out we had guns 30, 40, 50, a hundred years ago, and we didn\u2019t have mass murders every other month. <\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s changed?  It is not the number of guns that\u2019s changed.  If you people on the left are so eager to control things, we actually need some values control.  We actually need some social guardrails.  I don\u2019t even know if that would eliminate stuff like this.  We don\u2019t know why yet, purpose, reason.  The psychological community is eagerly trying to understand this, too. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" view=\"full\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piersmorgan\"><img id=\"eZObject_70684\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/shooting-banner.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s another aspect of this.  &#8220;We must dig deep, Mr. Limbaugh into the psyche of the shooter to find out what it is that makes them do these things.  We must learn.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Why? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, so that we can attempt to prevent such behavior, recognize it in certain people and prevent it from happening in the future.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>What would you do if you recognized it?  Before they picked up the gun and started firing away, what would you do?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, of course, that would depend on the nearest jail, Mr. Limbaugh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Piers Morgan, British import, CNN.  He just tweeted: &#8220;Nothing happened after Aurora.  Now it must.&#8221;  We don\u2019t even know what happened yet.  We know the end result of what happened, but we don\u2019t know anything about this yet, and the left is already mobilized. As they always will and always do, they try to politicize the event for their advantage, mobilize down their anti-gun highway.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, now CNN says that the number of people killed at the Newtown, Connecticut, school is closer to 30, and a federal law enforcement official says that most of the dead are children.  And even as we speak, the Drive-By Media and the Democrats are attempting to politicize the issue to advance their own agenda.  In this case, probably an assault on the Second Amendment again.  I guarantee you that they are overturning everything they can in their quest to be able to blame this on Republicans.  This, to them, is an opportunity.  At least to the Democrat media people that are tweeting and Facebooking on this, they are excited about it.  Oh, yes, it\u2019s a golden opportunity.  It\u2019s sick.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: A terrible and awful thing has happened in Connecticut at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, I\u2019m told.
