RUSH: Yes, I\u2019ve heard about the NBC poll. In a couple of minutes. It\u2019s right here. I\u2019m gonna get to it in just a second. All in due time. It\u2019s a three-hour program. Of course I\u2019ve heard about it. It\u2019s a joke. They sample 11% more Democrats than Republicans, and even at that they can only get Obama a six-point lead. Yesterday<\/a> we were talking, Reuters was the only poll with Obama up six. We were talking about what a joke it was. <\/p>\n

<\/a>My question is, what\u2019s the Wall Street Journal doing partnering with this bunch? Everybody knows that NBC\u2019s in the tank for Obama and so forth and the NBC\/Wall Street Journal poll, this is not doing the Wall Street Journal any good, credibility-wise. They had to have an 11-point spread in Democrats versus Republicans in their sample in order to get Obama a six-point lead. There\u2019s no way that that\u2019s gonna reflect the turnout. There aren\u2019t gonna be 11% more Democrats voting than Republicans in November. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number two — yesterday, the day before, talked to you about Chris Cillizza\u2019s column<\/a>, Washington Post, and also Thomas B. Edsall in the New York Times about the Obama strategery <\/a>here where it comes to Romney voters. The first stage was write off the votes of white working-class Americans. The Obama campaign in November of last year announced: We know they\u2019re not gonna vote for us. We\u2019re not gonna campaign for their votes. And the next stage, which was announced this week: We\u2019re gonna try to suppress that vote, and we\u2019re gonna try to convince white working-class Americans that Romney hates \u2019em. Romney looks down his nose at them. <\/p>\n

Now you\u2019ve got Andrea Mitchell. You know, Andrea Mitchell\u2019s accusing Romney of speaking in dog whistle language. You know what that means? Well, dog whistle, humans can\u2019t hear it. But Romney is able to speak to certain human beings in dog whistle language, which means that some of Romney\u2019s voters are the equivalent of dogs, and they\u2019re the only ones that can hear what he\u2019s saying, and he\u2019s sending them racist coded messages. <\/p>\n

For example, when he talks about Obama saying (impression), “You didn\u2019t build that.<\/a> Somebody else made that happen.” According to Andrea Mitchell, when Romney says that, that\u2019s “dog-whistle language.” For the white, working-class Americans that\u2019s Romney sending out racist code. (interruption) “Tax cuts” was code. Yeah, Rangel said that tax cuts was racist, was code for racism. (interruption) How does Andrea Mitchell know the code?<\/p>\n

Well, she\u2019s a journalist. They know these tricks. They know all the tricks we Republicans try. They know. Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington) knows all the secret stuff. She knows the secret handshake. Yeah, she knows the secret blood-sharing ceremonies. She knows it all. That\u2019s what being an investigative journalist is all about. She and Brian Ross talk about this frequently! Dog whistle is lingo emanating from Romney as code. Anyway, here is Cillizza admitting all this.<\/p>\n

He was on Starting Point on CNN this morning. He\u2019s got this new book, The Gospel According to The Fix, which is the name of his column. The host, Soledad O\u2019Brien, said to Chris Cillizza, “Voters are disenchanted. [Voters] are unhappy.” W — w — w — w — what? Have you not seen the NBC poll? Why, you ought to. You ought to see it. A majority of Americans think Obama is better than anybody to deal with the economy, better than anybody to deal with foreign policy.<\/p>\n
