Hilary Rosen.  Just a couple more on this and we\u2019ll move on to other things.  Again, last night on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, speaking with Hilary Rosen about her insult of Ann Romney, and Wolf said, &#8220;Have any of these people or others at the White House, the DNC, the Obama campaign contacted you?  Have they spoken to you about any of this today?  Do you know if Obama called Ann Romney?&#8221;  And this what Hilary Rosen said.<\/p>\n<p>ROSEN:  I\u2019ve had several supportive calls.<\/p>\n<p>REPORTER:  Supportive.  What are they saying?<\/p>\n<p>ROSEN:  Well, you know, people understand. People know me. They know that I wouldn\u2019t attack a stay-at-home mom and that that\u2019s not what I think this debate is about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Except that she did.  Not only did she attack a stay-at-home mom, that is one of the basic tenets of feminism since the modern era, late sixties, early seventies, was built on two things:  equal pay for equal work and attacking stay-at-home moms.  That hasn\u2019t changed.  So they know that\u2019s not who I am.  They know I wouldn\u2019t attack a stay-at-home mom. They sent her out to do it, or maybe they didn\u2019t have to send her out, maybe she\u2019s part of the strategy team. They did this, and they wanted this said.  At some point this was going to be said.  Don\u2019t doubt me on this.  The Romneys are the kind of people that Obama and Hilary Rosen and Democrat elitists just resent the heck out of. <\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.mediaite.com\/embed\/player\/?content=W64QC021F5PG5Q7R&amp;layout=&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;read_more=1&amp;widget_type_cid=svp\" width=\"420\" height=\"421\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They look at them and think life has been easy for \u2019em, they\u2019re boring, they\u2019re nerds, they are Ward Cleaver.  If you made a liberal sit down and watch Leave It To Beaver today, can you imagine what would happen to them?  Well, that\u2019s what they see in the Romneys.  And they see it in Newt Gingrich. They see it in Santorum. They see it in every traditional conservative: old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy, unhip, judgmental, moral, all those things that just scare the heck out of \u2019em. <\/p>\n<p>David Axelrod. This is classic. CNN\u2019s John King USA interviewing Axelrod. Axelrod\u2019s one of the Obama campaign strategists who threw Hilary Rosen overboard yesterday. He was one of the first along with Jim Messina to throw her overboard. So John King says, &#8220;Debbie [&#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221;] Schultz is among those who criticized her friend Hilary Rosen and has said some things that have made the White House cringe in the past. Debbie [&#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221;] Schultz is your Democrat National Committee chairwoman. Why so fast to trash somebody like Hilary Rosen? Why so fast to trash somebody who is a trusted ally of Obama, who\u2019s been out there defending the president quite a bit? Why are you trashing her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Axelrod.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>AXELROD: She actually is your employee, not ours. She\u2019s a, uh&#8230; She works for CNN. I think CNN would not allow her to be an operative for our campaign or the DNC. She\u2019s not. She never has been.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you believe this?<\/p>\n<p>AXELROD: She\u2019s certainly a supporter of the president\u2019s. But she, uh &#8212; the, uh, Romney campaign has throughout the day, uh, portrayed her as an adviser to the president, and that\u2019s simply not true.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you believe this? So here\u2019s Axelrod: &#8220;She\u2019s one of your employees, not ours! Hilary Rosen\u2019s one of your employees, not ours.&#8221; And not even John King can handle that. John King can\u2019t let that one go by. (It\u2019s audio sound bite number nine.)<\/p>\n<p>AXELROD: She\u2019s part of the political community in Washington for a long time. I\u2019m sure she\u2019s visited the White House frequently under other presidents. You know, John Boehner visits the White House all the time, too. He\u2019s not an Obama adviser.<\/p>\n<p>KING: But, see, that\u2019s where a lot of your friends are cringing, though, David. Because Hilary Rosen is not John Boehner. She has a lot of friends in the Obama White House. This is the part where a lot of people &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/AxelrodObamaWaronWOmen.jpg\"\/><BR\/>AXELROD: She\u2019s my friend. Hilary herself has acknowledged that, uh, her word &#8212; uh, that she misspoke and she said, uh &#8212; said something that she, uhh, regretted saying in the way that she said it, and, uhhh, I accept &#8212; I accept that.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. John King\u2019s not even buying that. &#8220;What do you mean she\u2019s an CNN employee? She\u2019s a pundit? She\u2019s a commentator?&#8221; Anyway, publicly they want you to think they\u2019ve gotten rid of her and thrown her overboard, but just know this: Hilary Rosen was paid over $120,000 last year by the Democrat National Committee.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah, so when Axelrod tells John King, &#8220;Hey, look, Hilary Rosen\u2019s your employee, not ours,&#8221; it means CNN is thus attacking stay-at-home moms. That\u2019s how I\u2019m gonna interpret it. David Axelrod accuses CNN of attacking stay-at-home moms because Hilary Rosen is CNN\u2019s employee. Thus, CNN attacks stay-at-home moms yesterday. Not Obama. Not the DNC. And the White House, they don\u2019t care about CNN. Who does? MSNBC\u2019s their network. <\/line><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/SchultzNewHAir.jpg\"\/><BR\/>By the way, people are telling me that Blabs was on MSNBC today, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. What they\u2019re telling me is&#8230; I didn\u2019t see it. What they\u2019re telling me is that they ironed the curls out of her hair, and they darkened it a bit. It\u2019s a total makeover, apparently, of Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the aftermath of the Hilary Rosen controversy. So it looks like Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u2019s curly hair is another casualty of the war on women, waged by CNN.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CNN is engaging in the war on women with Hilary Rosen attacking moms, CNN attacking stay-at-home moms. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So yesterday everybody assumed that everybody on the Democrat side got it.  All right, you\u2019ve blown it.  The War on Women backfired on you.  Just like the North Korean missile busted in midair, so did with Hilary Rosen a couple nights ago, the War on Women just blew up.  But somebody didn\u2019t get the memo.  The president of the NAGs, our affectionate term for the National Organization for Women, the National Association of Gals, Terry O\u2019Neill, and obviously a Democrat surrogate, I mean the NAGs are part of the Democrat Party &#8212; Did you hear about this?  Terry O\u2019Neill, on MSNBC last night, said that Ann Romney, along with Mitt Romney, lacks the life experience and imagination to understand most Americans. <\/p>\n<p>So after the flub-up of Hilary Rosen and after the hubbub and after all of the attention that got, the NAG babe goes on MSNBC last night to say that Ann Romney and Mitt both lack the life experience and imagination to understand most Americans.  Now, I\u2019m not a beggar.  You know me, I don\u2019t beg for anything.  But I might get on my knees and beg Democrats to continue to bash Ann Romney.  I think they should keep it up.  I\u2019m happy taking the lead from David Axelrod to welcome CNN now to the War on Women, CNN leading the war on stay-at-home moms.  &#8220;What do you mean, Mr. Limbaugh?  How could you possibly say this?  That\u2019s absolutely absurd.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>No.  David Axelrod, who\u2019s running Obama\u2019s reelection committee, was on CNN last night.  He said Hilary Rosen doesn\u2019t work for them.  Hilary Rosen\u2019s a CNN employee.  From that I conclude that this is a CNN War on Women and a CNN war on stay-at-home moms \u2019cause Hilary Rosen is their employee.  &#8220;Mr. Limbaugh, that\u2019s just absurd.  I don\u2019t know how you can make that &#8211;&#8221; No, it\u2019s not absurd, Mr. New Castrati.  It works.  By the way, Maxine Waters was on the same segment with Terry O\u2019Neill from the NAGs on MSNBC.  Maxine Waters called Mitt Romney Mitt &#8220;Rotney.&#8221;  Now, with Maxine you don\u2019t know if it was accidental or if it was on purpose.  But we\u2019re gonna say it was on purpose.  So MSNBC didn\u2019t get the memo. Terry O\u2019Neill didn\u2019t get the memo. Maxine didn\u2019t get the memo.  President Mitt Rotney.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: A couple of audio sound bites here. Hilary Rosen.
