RUSH: We go to Huntington, West Virginia. Brandon, I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. It\u2019s great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey. Good to be a first-time caller. A little nervous. I wanted to get your take on something. I\u2019m watching the cheerleading show for Obama on Monday night, Brian Williams and the Nightly News, and I\u2019m watching this tape being played, and I\u2019m thinking, man, they must be desperate. I see this as an act of desperation. I think the momentum must be going so much in the favor of Romney that they\u2019re pulling this out now rather than just before the election.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I mentioned yesterday that I think that is a possibility<\/a>. I don\u2019t think they intended to use this in September. I think they intended to drop this in October. I think there are a number of things that, the way they\u2019re looking at this, Obama ought to be way ahead. All the money he spent. They think they\u2019ve destroyed Romney in ads, and they think Romney\u2019s saying dumb stuff, and now Republican consultants are out trashing Romney<\/a>. You got Kristol, you got Peggy Noonan, you have Michael Gerson, who else? Mark McKinnon, the No Labels guy. The entire Republican establishment told us that Romney is the only guy that could win are out beating him up from one end of the field to the next. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I think Obama, with all this going on, “How come Romney\u2019s still ahead in the swing states and how come I\u2019m only one point up?” So I think they did drop it, and I think also this Middle East thing<\/a>, ambassador killed, they had to distract and they have to continue to distract attention from the economy as well. So I think you\u2019re on to something. Just means that Jimmy Carter\u2019s grandson is gonna have to stay in the basement and start hunting stuff down, because this was supposed to be his big get.<\/p>\n

We have Jimmy Carter IV here, sound bites 22, 23. This is last night, Anderson Cooper 19, he interviewed Democrat activist James E. Carter IV. They\u2019re talking about this video of Romney at the fundraiser. Anderson Cooper said, “How did you discover the video?”<\/p>\n

CARTER: I do searches, you know, regular searches just to keep up with what\u2019s being posted. Just with generic search terms, “Romney” and “Republican,” for instance, there\u2019s a few more that I use, but it was just on one of those searches that it came up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How about that. Who knew. Just search “Romney” and “Republican” and you get this video. Just popped up. Our old buddy Brian Ross, the ABC investigative reporter who is convinced<\/a> the Tea Party killed the people in the theater at the Dark Knight Rises or whatever, he said it\u2019s illegal to record people in Florida if they don\u2019t know they\u2019re being recorded. But that doesn\u2019t matter since it\u2019s Romney. We\u2019re not gonna make a big deal out of it. But just so you know, we know it\u2019s against the law, but we\u2019re not gonna pursue Jimmy Carter IV because he\u2019s a Democrat and we\u2019re Democrats and we\u2019re all in this to destroy Romney and conservatives anyway so we\u2019ll look the other way. I just want you to know that we do know it\u2019s illegal, but who\u2019s gonna do anything to us? Nobody. So screw you. Now back to Jimmy Carter IV. Anderson Cooper, “Did you tell your grandfather that this story was coming out? Did your grandfather, the ex-president, Jimmy Carter, give you any advice in any way? Did you only tell him afterwards?”<\/p>\n
