<\/p>\nRUSH: Let\u2019s go to sound bite seven. Bill Burton. This is the guy that runs the PAC that did the ad, a truly disgusting figure. He was on Anderson Cooper last night on CNN. Cooper says, “How can you imply that Mitt Romney and Bain are somehow to blame for that poor woman dying of cancer?” <\/p>\n
BURTON: My goodness. We — we — we don\u2019t and we would not. I mean, those fact-checks presuppose exactly what we were trying to do, and that\u2019s not the point of the ad. The point of the ad is to tell the story of the impact that Mitt Romney had on the lives of thousands of people. When he came to town they lost their jobs, they lost their health care, they lost their pension benefits. And that impact is felt still today in those communities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: So, “Uh, we didn\u2019t imply that Romney killed her. We\u2019re just telling the story of how Romney killed her. We — we — we didn\u2019t imply anything. We\u2019re just telling the story.” But, again, the steel company asked Bain in! We\u2019re going blue in the face. I don\u2019t think it even matters to get the truth of this out, because that\u2019s a distraction in itself. That\u2019s not what this is about. What this is about is how low and despicable and disgusting the people around the president of the United States are and just exactly the kind of people they are. I mean, Bain Capital was asked in there.<\/p>\n
This woman even had health insurance for two years! <\/p>\n
This guy was offered a buyout!<\/p>\n

BURTON: There are thousands of stories that happened as a result of — of Mitt Romney and his time at Bain. And some of them are really tragic. But just because they\u2019re really sad or tragic doesn\u2019t mean they should be off limits. We think it\u2019s important to tell the stories of these folks and how they were impacted by Mitt Romney. He put his business experience front and center.<\/p>\n
COOPER: A woman dying… How is a woman dying…? But, I mean, she had health insurance from her job after this man lost his job. And then she got an injury years later and then lost her insurance.<\/p>\n
BURTON: Right. To say that presupposes that we\u2019re trying to link Mitt Romney with her tragedy.<\/p>\n
COOPER: You are!<\/p>\n
BURTON: N-n-no, no. The truth is —<\/p>\n
COOPER: You\u2019ve made a commercial about Mitt Romney and it\u2019s all about this woman\u2019s tragedy. If you\u2019re not trying to link it, why are you even talking about it?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. “Well, we\u2019re not implying that Romney killed a man\u2019s wife. We\u2019re just telling the story about how Romney killed a man\u2019s wife. That\u2019s all we\u2019re doing.” <\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: We\u2019ve got one more Bill Burton here. We had a question that Anderson Cooper put to him. There\u2019s even some in the mainstream media, even some (and I think just to give themselves cover) who say, “Come on, are you guys serious? Romney\u2019s responsible for this guy\u2019s wife dying?” The woman had health insurance when she left. She was not fired. Soptic was offered a buyout. They had ample opportunity for health insurance. <\/p>\n
It was six years after Romney left. She was diagnosed or she felt uncomfortable, felt bad, but didn\u2019t go get it checked out. And you guys want to maintain — Mr. Burton, are you really serious — that Romney is responsible for that? You made a commercial about Mitt Romney. It\u2019s all about this woman\u2019s tragedy. You\u2019re trying to link it. Why are you even talking about her? What is the purpose of this ad, Mr. Burton? <\/p>\n
BURTON: What we\u2019re saying is that at a moment of true, uh, concern and anxiety in a family — when Joe Soptic really needed health insurance for his family — he didn\u2019t have it. And that\u2019s the point, here. He was promised health care benefits and he lost them —<\/p>\n
COOPER: (laughing) You\u2019ve made a —<\/p>\n
BURTON: — at a moment of true anxiety. <\/p>\n
COOPER: You\u2019ve made a thirty-second spot about this. (laughing) When you say, “How can you imply that?” it\u2019s totally disingenuous, Bill. Come on! You know that.<\/p>\n
BURTON: No. I just don\u2019t think that\u2019s true. I think Mitt Romney had an affect on these people\u2019s lives. When people look at it, when they hear the stories of these folks, they say, “I don\u2019t want that guy to be the president of the United States.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s exactly what this is about. Again, it doesn\u2019t matter to them. Again, they don\u2019t care that they\u2019re lying. It\u2019s no different than Obama\u2019s out there saying, “Our plan worked.” It\u2019s always been tough for honorable people to go up against people like this. There aren\u2019t very many smart people who know how to deal with this. And people who do not lie, people who don\u2019t want to like, people who don\u2019t engage in activities like this that are totally unethical, don\u2019t know how to deal with this. <\/p>\n
They sit there and they\u2019re stunned. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s just admitting: “All we want is people to think Romney had something to do with this. We don\u2019t care that he didn\u2019t! Anderson, you\u2019re not getting it here. We don\u2019t care that Romney had nothing to do with it. All we want is for people to realize that they don\u2019t want Romney to be president. He\u2019s not a nice guy! He doesn\u2019t care about \u2019em. We don\u2019t care what we have to say to make people think that.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
