RUSH: I mentioned earlier<\/a> in the program that Santorum, people have dug deep and they found a speech that he gave back in 2008 in Ave Maria, Florida, at Ave Maria University. Drudge has this plastered up. The Democrats have found it. It\u2019s all over the place. Think Progress and whatever leftist think tanks have dug this up, and it\u2019s part of the predictable attempt to impugn Santorum as an absolute religious nut and wacko. But he did say these things and he\u2019ll to have an answer for these things when queried. Let\u2019s play these sound bites. We have three of them. This is where Santorum has said that Satan has set his sights on America. Again, this is at Ave Maria University, August of 2008, in Ave Maria, Florida.<\/p>\n

SANTORUM: The Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies, Satan, would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country — the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack in this day and age? There is no one else to go after other than the United States, and that\u2019s been the case for now almost 200 years, once America\u2019s preeminence was sown by our great Founding Fathers.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so he said it. Can we take you back to the United Nations? What was it, 2000… I don\u2019t know, three or four or five or six. Hugo Chavez shows up, he speaks either the afternoon Bush spoke earlier or the next day, but he gets to the microphone at the United Nations and the General Assembly and starts sniffing around. (Sniffing) He says, “I can still smell the sulfur. The Devil was here,” and he had accused Bush of being the Devil. And the assembled monsters that look like they\u2019re out of Star Wars bar scene that made up the UN General Assembly all started laughing. So we\u2019re back to the double standard. Hugo Chavez can show up and call George W. Bush Satan. “Hey, hey! You know what, that\u2019s right! That\u2019s great. Let\u2019s laugh about it. Let\u2019s applaud it.” Santorum gives a speech in Ave Maria, Florida, back in 2008. “Oh, my God, we\u2019re dealing with a nutcase! Oh, wow, what a fanatic weirdo. What are we gonna get next, an exorcism?” So the double standard does exist. Here\u2019s more from the same speech from Santorum.<\/p>\n

SANTORUM: Satan has done so by attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of these strong plants that have so deeply rooted in American tradition. He was successful. The place where he was, in my mind, the most successful and first successful was in academia. He understood pride of “smart” people. He attacked them at their weakest, that they were in fact smarter than everybody else and could come up with something new and different, pursue new truths, deny the existence of truth, play with it, “because we\u2019re smart;” and so academia a long time ago fell.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Satan conquered academia: Rick Santorum, August 29, 2008. And it was in 2006, September 20th, to be exact, where Hugo Chavez strode confidently to the microphones of the UN and was sniffing around and said, “The Devil came here yesterday. It still smells of sulfur today.” And let\u2019s not forget, ladies and gentlemen, Saul Alinsky, who\u2019s the primary mentor of “Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm, mmm, mmm!” Saul Alinsky, the author of the book Rules for Radicals — a book about which Hillary Clinton wrote her masters or doctoral thesis, whatever it was, when she was at Wellesley. Saul Alinsky, who Obama has studied and implements to this day and whose tactics he taught while ostensibly teaching law at the University of Chicago.<\/p>\n

Saul Alinsky dedicated his book that all these leftists love to Lucifer, the Devil! Here\u2019s Alinsky\u2019s dedication: “Lest we forget, at least an over the-shoulder acknowledgement to the very first radical from all our legends, mythology and history — and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins or which is which? The first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom: Lucifer.” Saul Alinsky made that dedication in his book Rules for Radicals. So Santorum is just joining the crowd here in discussing this. Here is the final sound bite.<\/p>\n

SANTORUM: The next was the church. Now, you say, “Well, wait. The Catholic Church?” No. We all know that this country was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic, but the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant Judeo-Christian ethic. Sure, the Catholics had some influence, but this was a Protestant country, and the Protestant ethic. Mainstream, mainline Protestantism. And of course we look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country, and it is a shambles.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Rick Santorum August 29, 2008. That stuff is out there. It\u2019s headlined on Drudge and the left has it, and Santorum will have to deal with it. He\u2019ll have to answer it. I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just not the kind of stuff you hear a presidential candidate talk about. It\u2019s not ordinary in that sense. Snerdley says, “Yeah, yeah, it\u2019s kind of refreshing.” Snerdley likes devil stuff. I mean, he watches movies about it. He has The Exorcist on a loop at home and it helps with his sciatic pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
