I mean, clearly there are issue differences, but it\u2019s not policy that is the primary thing dividing people today.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a contention of mine, and a relatively new realization. But as a point of illustration, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14559\">Bill Maher\u2019s movie was Religulous<\/a> (like &#8220;ridiculous,&#8221; Religulous), and it excoriates every religion. The last 20 minutes of it brutalizes Islam &#8212; laughs at it, makes fun of it &#8212; and you probably don\u2019t know that. The movie grossed 13 million bucks. Nobody knows, which is very important. Nobody knows it. It made $13 million so some people saw it, but apparently no Muslims went to see it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s contrast this with this YouTube video, because this whole thing &#8212; this whole thing in the Middle East &#8212; somebody contrived it and planned for it and set it up, using easily influenced poor people in the populations of these Islamic countries. They didn\u2019t know about the YouTube video. They didn\u2019t see it. They didn\u2019t see Bill Maher\u2019s movie. If they\u2019d seen Bill Maher\u2019s movie they\u2019d-a raised holy hell about it. The CAIR gang would have gotten in action just like they did on the Danish cartoons.<\/p>\n<p>But nobody saw it, and nobody told them about it, and they didn\u2019t see the YouTube video. But wait! How do they know about it? Well, somebody told them. Who and why? Who and why? Somebody wants this happening. Somebody or some people wants this unrest over in the Middle East. It is my contention that the primary reason for this &#8212; and I can hear the howls of laughter, protest, disagreement, when I say this. It may not be the only reason.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m convinced that one of the reasons this unrest happened was so it could be blamed on someone who could be made to look like he\u2019s a conservative, because then what does it say about conservatism or people who are not liberal? It says that they\u2019re nuts, that they\u2019re kooks. Nobody saw this video. By the same token, Mr. Snerdley, in the days leading up to our discovery that the president was having an affair and engaging in BJs with Monica Lewinsky in the he Oval Office, what happened?<\/p>\n<p>There was a picture. There was a picture released in one newspaper. It was the Los Angeles Times. And the picture was of what? It was of Bill and Hillary Clinton dancing on the beach in the Caribbean &#8212; in the Virgin Islands somewhere &#8212; and, furthermore, dancing on the beach both in their swimsuits. (It was not a flattering picture.) We learned later that there wasn\u2019t even any music. The whole thing was staged. That picture was released on the front page of the LA Times at the usual six a.m. or seven a.m. Eastern time.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the two p.m. press briefing came around, the picture had been seen a couple places. Mike McCurry, the press secretary, got a question about the picture &#8212; and he launched. He was critical of the picture. It was an invasion of privacy. How dare anybody try to get that close to the president. And nobody knew what he was talking about because nobody had seen it! But McCurry made sure everybody saw it. And why did they want everybody to see it?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/clinton-lewinsky.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Because they knew the Lewinsky story was coming, and they wanted to counter the Lewinsky story with a picture of a loving couple &#8212; Bill and Hillary Clinton, on the beach in the Caribbean, dancing &#8212; as a counterweight or counterbalance to the Lewinsky story. I\u2019m telling you: Everything the left does is a manipulation of us, and they use the media (willing accomplices in the media) to do this. Well, by the same token, stop and think just a second now, folks. Nobody in the Middle East has seen this YouTube clip (or not nearly enough people) to cause what happened.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They were all told about it, though, and they were told about it for any reason. Whoever told them wanted what\u2019s happening to happen. I don\u2019t mean somebody wanted an ambassador to be assassinated. They wanted the protest. Now, you might be saying, &#8220;Rush, why would Obama want this? It doesn\u2019t make him look good.&#8221; Stop and think of who Obama is. He\u2019s arrogant, cocky. He doesn\u2019t think people are gonna blame him for this because he doesn\u2019t get blamed for anything. The guy who did the video is getting all the blame.<\/p>\n<p>The media joined right in.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14579\">Jay Carney joined right in.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14579\"><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MuslimProtestors.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The guy was rounded up. He was pulled out of his house at 1:30 in the morning by sheriff\u2019s deputies. He was taken in and interviewed, supposedly for a parole violation or what have you. It was left to no speculation whatsoever that this video caused all this. We\u2019ve all been manipulated, and I\u2019m telling you that my theory is the reason that this has happened is this is a campaign aid. This was designed as part of the Obama campaign. It does two things. It makes this guy who did the movie&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What is he? He\u2019s a Coptic CHRISTIAN. What is he? Intolerant! What is he doing? Making fun of Islamists! What does he do? Cause violence! All of this is filling in a cliche or a brand or an image. The purpose of this is to make it impossible to support a guy like Romney. Romney\u2019s a Mormon but he\u2019s intolerant, Republican, racist, sexist, bigot, all of this stuff. It\u2019s designed to suppress the Romney vote. It\u2019s designed to dispirit the Romney vote. It is designed to make liberals and Obama look like the compassionate big-hearted, understanding, tolerant.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the guys rounding up an American citizen for practicing his First Amendment rights. This video, it\u2019s amazing. It hasn\u2019t even been introduced to the public in ways that people have seen it. It\u2019s only been described. It\u2019s only been described. They make sure they got the stars of this movie on TV talking about how they were duped by this guy, and they\u2019re in tears. They had no idea it was gonna be a movie that made fun of Islam.<\/p>\n<p>So this guy becomes Romney in the campaign. This guy becomes the reason why you wouldn\u2019t want to vote against Obama. That\u2019s the thinking. This is the same way McCurry introduced that photo of the Clintons dancing right before the Monica scandal. It was something nobody had heard of, and they talked about what an invasion of privacy the whole thing was. In both instances, it\u2019s Hillary Clinton pulling the strings.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14564\"><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushAntiMuslimFilmmaker.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this video and in the picture of her and Clinton dancing on the beach down in the Caribbean. The second thing it does is divert people away from the dismal economy, divert people away from Obama\u2019s dismal presidency, his dismal accomplishments or lack thereof, and then it gives people an opportunity to tell about what <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14561\">&#8220;disarray&#8221; the Romney campaign is in.<\/a> Oh! By the way, notice also that all Romney had to do was make one statement, and guess what automatically fell in line?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Romney made the mistake! Romney jumped the gun! Romney shot before he aimed! Romney embarrassed himself! Romney spoke before he knew what was really going on! Romney made the mistake!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It got further into ridiculous &#8212; honest to God &#8212; when there were people on MSNBC saying that Romney was to blame for the media not covering Obama\u2019s culpability in this. If Romney had shut up, if Romney hadn\u2019t said anything, the media would have been forced to look at Obama\u2019s role in this. But Romney was so outrageous and so egregious and so unprofessional and so unpresidential in what he did, that he gave the media no choice but than to focus on him.<\/p>\n<p>This is a huge&#8230; What has happened here is a massive effort of manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the protests are real.  The violence is real.  Look, they\u2019ve got community agitators just like we do.  All that has to happen is in the mosques for some imam to start ripping an American who\u2019s made a video, making fun of the prophet.  They know what\u2019s gonna happen. Just like Obama in his day coulda grabbed a bunch of people on a street corner in Chicago and gotten \u2019em all revved up about some steel mill. Or just like Obama created <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14562\">Occupy Wall Street<\/a> to go out and start defecating all over people\u2019s cars on Wall Street or whatever.  That was ginned up.  What they all have in common, Islamists are extreme liberals; Obama\u2019s an extreme liberal.  They\u2019re all leftists.  They\u2019re all statists. They\u2019re all big government types who are threatened by individual liberty and freedom. <\/p>\n<p>All that matters is Obama\u2019s reelection, to the extent that this episode turns people away from Romney or conservatives. And remember what I said.  It\u2019s not about policy.  It\u2019s not that Obama\u2019s irresponsible foreign policy is imploding, that the United States is in greater danger in the Middle East, that\u2019s not the conclusion drawn.  The conclusion drawn is look at how absolutely wacky and nutty and intolerant Republicans are.  That was one of the many purposes of this whole episode.  So policy is irrelevant, perception is everything, and they can manufacture the perception that they want.  When you are Obama, the Democrat Party, and you own the media, when the media is sending out <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14565\">fundraising forms for you on their Twitter accounts<\/a>, when the media\u2019s running polls for you, doctoring polls, shifting polls &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/000MostDangerousMan.jpg\"\/><\/a>No.  I don\u2019t think it\u2019s over.  No, no, no, no.  Because they\u2019re not a majority.  The reason they\u2019re having to manipulate everything is because they are a woeful minority, the liberals in this country.  I think it\u2019s gonna backfire on \u2019em.  It all comes under the umbrella they can\u2019t be who they really are.  They have to lie about who we are.  They can\u2019t be honest about their real policy.  Nobody would vote for \u2019em, other than about 25% of the country.  Everything about them is perception, manipulation, and lies.  Everything.  Everything is Wag the Dog.  Everything is a structured deception. <\/p>\n<p>Gallup has a new survey out here: &#8220;A majority of Americans (54%) continue to believe the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses.&#8221; I guarantee you, the regime sees this, and they get nervous. This ought to be 54% the other way.  Bottom line, a majority of people in Gallup still think the government\u2019s too big and is doing too much.  We haven\u2019t lost this.  Don\u2019t misunderstand here, folks.  I\u2019m telling you how you\u2019re being manipulated into believing you\u2019ve got no chance, that Romney has no chance, that you\u2019re unhip and that you\u2019re uncool.  It\u2019s why we continue to get stories: Mitt Romney\u2019s horrible week; Mitt Romney\u2019s horrible day; Mitt Romney\u2019s horrible dinner; Mitt Romney\u2019s horrible, fitful lack of sleep last night; Mitt Romney\u2019s this, Mitt Romney\u2019s that.  It\u2019s all instructed.  It is all manufactured.  Nothing that has to do with liberalism or the Democrat Party is grounded in reality.  If it were, they wouldn\u2019t get but 30% of the vote. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Bill in Louisville.  Great to have you on the program.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hello, Rush.  Just up the river from Cape Girardeau.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s right.  How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019m doing pretty fair compared to what the hell\u2019s going on in Washington.  I got a comment.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It might rub some people the wrong way, and frankly I don\u2019t care if it does or not.  But these people are running nothing but one big movie in front of the American people.  It\u2019s all set up for Obama to become the peacemaker, and then these poor people that were in that embassy that were killed, for them to make an example and stand there in front of them when they do not give a damn about \u2019em at all, to make a show out of that, where are they when the coffins come home from Afghanistan?  Where are these people?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They don\u2019t even allow the media at those arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, correct.  You know, I mean, you got Romney, we need Romney, we need his administration.  I think what you\u2019re gonna see &#8212; (unintelligible) &#8212; races are done in furlongs, as you know, because you\u2019re from Missouri &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; and I think what you\u2019re gonna see is whipping the horse for Obama right out of the gate.  You\u2019re gonna see him fade and Romney is gonna come around the third term like Secretariat in the Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, Secretariat ran away from everybody by almost &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thirty-nine lengths, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You think that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen here?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, I do.  I believe it.  There\u2019s a lot more conservatives than people believe.  And when you refer to the administration in Washington as the regime &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; you are exactly right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  You talk about Romney attacking his policy.  What policy?  All he\u2019s done is put up a big iceberg called socialized medicine, which I spent four years of my life in the Marine Corps to prevent, and we\u2019re the Titanic and we\u2019re heading to it.  Now, all Romney has to do is break out the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, and he can attack Barack Obama from every angle.  I think Romney and his running mate are holding back a little bit and waiting for the opportunity &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you know, about that, they turned Ryan loose last week.  I\u2019ve been wondering where Ryan was.  Ryan went over to a couple think tanks and let loose, and I started thinking to myself, &#8220;Please let him stay loose. Don\u2019t put any shackles on. Let Ryan be Ryan.  Send him out there and let him go to town.&#8221;  I hope they do.  Bill, God bless you for your service to this great country.  I\u2019m glad you called. I\u2019m glad you waited.  I appreciate your patience, and from your lips to God\u2019s ears.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_67046\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-backpage_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: I checked the e-mail. Predictable. &#8220;Rush, you really want us to believe that that was a giant Wag the Dog? You remember Wag the Dog never really happen!&#8221; I didn\u2019t call this a Wag the Dog. What happened over there really happened. Another e-mail said, &#8220;How in the world do you think all those pictures of burning the American flag and so forth end up helping Obama?&#8221; I said, &#8220;I\u2019m not telling you they do. I\u2019m telling you the people that run this country think a whole different way.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They believe they\u2019re in 2008; Obama\u2019s still a messiah.&#8221; Do you think Obama should be worried about this? He\u2019s campaigning. When he made a statement about the dead ambassador, you couldn\u2019t tell that he really had much emotion about it. He\u2019s not acting like this bothers him at all! He\u2019s act like somebody who knew it was gonna happen and has got it all calculated. Let me ask you a question, a very simple question: President of Egypt, President of Libya, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran?<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019d they rather have as president of the United States, Mitt Romney or Barack Obama? You know they\u2019ve got a preference. You know every foreign leader has a preference in our election, every one of them. Who do these guys think they have the best chance with? Isn\u2019t that kind of obvious? So if you\u2019re going to structure something to get your rabble all worked up&#8230; By the way, the Muslim Brotherhood benefits like crazy from this! They\u2019re leftists, folks. They thrive on chaos like this.<\/p>\n<p>They deal with their population just like Obama does with ours. They\u2019re the great heroes who solve the problems, put it all back together, fix it, what have you. So I\u2019m just telling you that none of this is out of the realm of possibility for me. I think we\u2019ve been manipulated in this whole thing, because nobody has seen this video. Nobody\u2019s seen it! The people that are rioting and protesting have not seen it.<\/p>\n<p>Let me read to you from Alinsky\u2019s Rules for Radicals. &#8220;The organizer\u2019s,&#8221; or community organizer\u2019s &#8220;first job is to create the issues or problems.&#8221; The organizer &#8220;must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression.&#8221; The organizer &#8220;must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An organizer &#8220;must stir up dissatisfaction, discontent.&#8221; That\u2019s not a policy discussion. This is how you whip people into a frenzy. Over there, it happens in the mosques. It didn\u2019t happen on YouTube. It happened with the full cooperation&#8230; I know some of you think, &#8220;Rush, I don\u2019t know. I can\u2019t necessarily accept that.&#8221; It may be tough. I\u2019m just telling you: Don\u2019t doubt me.
