This is Ed.  I\u2019m glad you called, sir.  Welcome to the EIB Network.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Basically I think Obama and the Democrats, the conclusion they drew from his 2000 election is that the American people were stupid.  He\u2019s the least qualified person in either field, far less qualified than even Sarah Palin, and the only person with his lack of qualifications is Hillary Clinton.  Basically him and his allies in the media ran a confidence campaign, or confidence game, I should say, on the American people, and they think they\u2019re gonna be able to get away with doing it this time.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH:  Well, I think there\u2019s no question they\u2019re campaigning on the stupidity of people.  The ignorant, that\u2019s who he\u2019s building his constituency on, a collection of ignorant this, ignorant that, there\u2019s no question.  He\u2019s counting on the fact that there are more of them than not.  Along the lines of what you say, grab sound bite three.  Here\u2019s a montage.  Folks, while the country\u2019s going to hell in a handbasket, the media is thrilled.  They are excited beyond belief because Obama is Swift-boating Romney.  They\u2019re excited.  They love it because they think they\u2019re now getting revenge for 2004.  Of course, there\u2019s no comparison.  The Swift Boat vets were a bunch of people that served with John Kerry, who said he was unfit for command.  There\u2019s no group of Bain executives who worked with Romney who say he shouldn\u2019t be president.  Not even a story here.  But listen to the montage.<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_64788\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/KerrySalute.jpg\"\/><BR\/>PAGE:  This reminds me of John Kerry and the Swift boat story.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>ACOSTA:  This is a Swift-boating of Mitt Romney.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019BRIEN:  The Swift boat ads used the strength of John Kerry really against him.<\/p>\n<p>MORRIS: It reminds me of 2004, it\u2019s the Swift boat summer definition.<\/p>\n<p>BRIGGS:  Reminiscent of the Swift boat attacks against John Kerry.<\/p>\n<p>RICH:  Swift-boating John Kerry. So this is nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>POWERS: We certainly saw Republicans do this kind of stuff with John Kerry.<\/p>\n<p>WEIGEL: This is what was done to John Kerry.<\/p>\n<p>HARWOOD:  Just as republicans went after John Kerry on his military experience.<\/p>\n<p>FOREMAN:  Mitt Romney could become the second politician from Massachusetts Swift-boated out of the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That was Tom Foreman. Look, there\u2019s no comparison.  The Swift Boat vets, were people that served with Kerry, and knew he wasn\u2019t what he said he was.  This is just revenge.  They\u2019re just happy.  They think they\u2019ve finally come up with a way to pay the Republicans back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Albany in New York. This is Ed.
