RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there\u2019s a story at Politico today. I\u2019m gonna have to turn to some of you for some help. I thought I had this figured out, but it\u2019s gone beyond my ability to explain this, and that is this incessant, inexplicable, growing hatred of Sarah Palin by people on our side. The Politico story here: “‘She\u2019s Becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska Edition.'” This is by Jonathan Martin and John Harris. “Sarah Palin has played the sexism card, accusing critics of chauvinism against a strong woman. She has played the class card, dismissing the Bush family as ‘blue bloods\u2019 and complaining that she is the target of snobbery by people who dislike her simply because she is ‘not so hoity-toity.\u2019 <\/p>\n

“Most famously, she has played the victim card — never more vividly than when she invoked the loaded phrase ‘blood libel\u2019 against liberals and media commentators in the wake of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting. Palin\u2019s flamboyant rhetoric always has thrilled supporters, but lately it is coming at a new cost: a backlash, not from liberals but from some of the country\u2019s most influential conservative commentators and intellectuals. Palin\u2019s politics of grievance and group identity, according to these critics, is a betrayal of conservative principles. For decades, it was a standard line of the right that liberals cynically promoted victimhood to achieve their goals and that they practiced the politics of identity — race, sex and class — over ideas. <\/p>\n

“Among those taking aim at Palin in recent interviews with Politico are George F. Will, the elder statesman of conservative columnists; Peter Wehner, a top strategist in George W. Bush\u2019s White House, and Heather Mac Donald, a leading voice with the right-leaning Manhattan Institute. Matt Labash, a longtime writer for the Weekly Standard, said that because of Palin\u2019s frequent appeals to victimhood and group grievance, ‘She\u2019s becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska edition.\u2019 Conservative intellectuals, while having scant ability to drive large blocs of votes on their own, traditionally have played an outsize role in the early stages of Republican nominating contests. <\/p>\n

“Their approval has lent credence to politicians from Ronald Reagan onward hoping to portray themselves as faithful adherents to an idea-driven conservative movement. This year, the conservative intelligentsia doesn\u2019t just tend to dislike Palin — many fear that her rise would represent the triumph of an intellectually empty brand of populism and the death of ideas as an engine of the right. ‘This is a problem for the movement,\u2019 said Will about what Palin represents. ‘For conservatism, because it is a creedal movement, this is a disease to which it is susceptible.\u2019 The line of modern conservatism that can be traced back to National Review founder William F. Buckley would be broken by Palin, Will said. <\/p>\n

“‘There\u2019s no Reagan without Goldwater, no Goldwater without National Review and no National Review without Buckley — and the contrast between [Buckley] and Ms. Palin is obvious.\u2019 Asked if the GOP would remain the party of ideas if Palin captures the nomination, Will said: ‘The answer is emphatically no.\u2019 Columnist Charles Krauthammer, without talking about Palin specifically, noted that ‘there\u2019s healthy and unhealthy populism,\u2019 and there is concern about the rise of the latter. ‘When populism becomes purely anti-intellectual, it can become unhealthy and destructive,\u2019 said Krauthammer.” Pete “Wehner,” who\u2019s a good friend of mine, “now a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, cited the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan\u2019s famous 1980 declaration that the GOP had become ‘a party of ideas.\u2019 … <\/p>\n

“‘Conservatives are very proud of that,\u2019 Wehner said. ‘But she seems at best disinterested in ideas or least lacks the ability to articulate any philosophical justification for them. She relies instead on shallow talking points.\u2019 Does Palin care about what conservative commentators say about her? So far, the answer would appear to be no. … Palin defenders say she has good reason to be dismissive of elite critics — she has outpaced their low expectations at every turn.” You know what I think? I\u2019m trying to figure this all out. I can understand the left despising this woman. That would make perfect sense. <\/p>\n

But this rising vitriol from the “conservative intellectual” bench is mystifying to me. (sigh) I don\u2019t get this comparison to Al Sharpton. I don\u2019t know where that comes from. That\u2019s Matt Labash at the Weekly Standard. I don\u2019t know where that comes from. What does Sharpton do? Would somebody point out one similarity between Al Sharpton and Sarah Palin? Where is the Tawana Brawley in Sarah Palin\u2019s life? Where is that incident? Where are all the megaphone-lead rallies and protests? Where are those things? Where is the complement to the National Action Network and its annual convention in whatever else?<\/p>\n

Where is this? Where are the lawsuits that Sharpton files against people? Well, they claim that she\u2019s playing her cards. Where is her tax cheating, for example? Who is Sarah Palin shaking down? I mean, if we\u2019re gonna start making these comparisons… (interruption) What was it you just shouted at me, H.R.? Well, that\u2019s why they say she\u2019s portraying herself as a victim because she\u2019s firing back. They are saying that she should just shut up. In the aftermath of being blamed for this Arizona thing, she should have just shut up. The fact that she responded and reacted to it means that she\u2019s feeling sorry for herself and is portraying herself as a victim — and that\u2019s something that the left does: Portray themselves as victims. <\/p>\n

She shoulda just been quiet and let the story ride itself out and let it go away and so forth as it would have. I used to think that a lot of this was just fear-based. (sigh) I\u2019ve really had a tough time understanding this. To be honest, folks, I\u2019ve had a tough time. I\u2019m still not sure. I\u2019m wondering if some of this is not rooted in the fear that our “conservative intellectuals” have that our current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls is kind of weak; and that, therefore, she may be the most popular among \u2019em. But it\u2019s like I told you: I love telling this story. A couple friends of mine who had recently met Palin — I\u2019ve never met her. I\u2019ve spoken to her on the phone once when we interviewed her for Limbaugh Letter<\/a>, the newsletter when she had her book out. <\/p>\n

Other than that I\u2019d never talked to her. I\u2019ve never met her. She did tell a funny story when I did interview her. She said that I met her father out in Palm Springs at one of the first two Bob Hope Chrysler Classic golf tournaments I played in as an amateur that some guy came up and asked me to sign a copy of my book for his daughter. Well, it turned out to be her dad getting the book signed for her and that she has that book in her office or her library in her home in Alaska. That\u2019s the extent. I don\u2019t know her. I\u2019ve never spent any time with her. <\/p>\n

But these people that I know here had spent an evening with her, and couple days later I met them for dinner — and, folks, these are rock-ribbed conservatives, huge donors and fundraisers, Reaganites. Their pedigree is unquestionable, and they said to me, “You know, dear, we met Sarah Palin. I think you would agree, dear, she just doesn\u2019t have the heft. She\u2019s much prettier in person than even on TV — you can\u2019t escape noticing that — but, I don\u2019t know. I think she\u2019s just not presidential. Do you think, dear?” And, you know, I recalled what the circumstance was here. This is not a place to start an argument. I didn\u2019t care to, didn\u2019t want to spend that kind of time there. <\/p>\n

I said, “Yeah, you know what? Give me four more years of Obama, instead of Palin.” <\/p>\n

“W-w-what? What do you mean by that, dear?” <\/p>\n

“Well, Sarah Palin is so damn embarrassing, I don\u2019t know how I could vote for her. I might not even be able to say I\u2019m a Republican if she gets the nomination!”<\/p>\n

“Um, I\u2019m not quite following you, dear.” <\/p>\n

“Well, she\u2019s so embarrassing, I guess if it\u2019s Sarah Palin or Obama? Hell, give me Obama!” I finally said, “Look, I don\u2019t understand all this. THE PROBLEM IS OBAMA! The Democrat Party is destroying the freaking country — sorry to yell here — and we\u2019re sitting here sniping over Sarah Palin? I\u2019d vote for Elmer Fudd if the Republicans nominated him, if Obama\u2019s the Democrat.” So obviously there are elements of this that are personal that I don\u2019t understand. Look, I could understand not wanting her to be the nominee, I can understand thinking there\u2019s somebody better, but this? There\u2019s an all-out assault on her by our guys that puzzles me — and now this latest to say that she\u2019s Al Sharpton? Our version of Al Sharpton in Alaska? <\/p>\n

So you guys gotta help me out out there. Somebody\u2019s gonna have to explain this to me because it makes no sense. You know, I\u2019m totally immersed in logic and common sense, and some of this doesn\u2019t register that way for me. I don\u2019t get it. I can think of — I\u2019m not going to mention any names here — the Republican field, what is it, nine or ten people that are said to be interested in it. There are four or five of them that can\u2019t hold a candle to her, as far as I\u2019m concerned. But these guys don\u2019t think there\u2019s one. So I\u2019m thinking: What did she do to them? Does she embarrass them? (interruption) Okay. (interruption) If she does embarrass them, what? (interruption) Okay, well, of course the liberals are gonna say she\u2019s stupid. That\u2019s enough for us to say, “Okay, we don\u2019t want her,” \u2019cause the liberals are rejecting her so we\u2019ve gotta dump her? Okay. <\/p>\n

All right. Fine. Fine. Well, anybody else got any ideas, I\u2019m open to \u2019em.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I\u2019ve read the e-mails, and they\u2019re pouring in. And many of them from the public e-mail account, ElRushbo@eibnet.com<\/a>. “You idiot! You\u2019re supposed to be the one with the answers. You\u2019re asking us why everybody hates Sarah Palin, you idiot. If we know, you should know.” Some of them say: “You stupid fool, don\u2019t you know it\u2019s because they\u2019re jealous of her?” That seems to be, by the way, the number one explanation from people answering the question. I haven\u2019t had a chance to read \u2019em all. They\u2019re coming in here by the hundreds, every 20 seconds or so, but they\u2019re jealous of her or they fear her. Of course all of that\u2019s true. But look, I think I get it. I think the simple explanation here is, if you want to be an accredited intellectual, one of the tests is, do you hate Sarah Palin? Do you think she represents a pox? Is she a danger to whatever? If you do, then you will pass the test and you are, therefore, an accredited intellectual. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s sort of like the whole business of shibboleth. If you\u2019re an intellectual, you should know what a shibboleth is. It\u2019s from the Bible. It\u2019s a Hebrew word that very few Hebrews could pronounce correctly. If you could pronounce it correctly, you were an intellectual. It was a test to see if you were an actual member of the tribe. Well, right now Sarah Palin is the intellectuals\u2019 favorite shibboleth. If you want to prove you are an intellectual, you have to say Sarah Palin\u2019s an idiot. That\u2019s as much of an explanation as anything else. I know she threatens the old boys club; she represents and associates with average people whereas these people don\u2019t; all those things that we have mentioned and pondered before on the program. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know. This is what you need to know. And, folks, do not doubt me. Some of you weren\u2019t alive in the mid-seventies. Some of you weren\u2019t old enough in the mid-seventies to remember. But Ronald Reagan was just as hated by the intellectual class then as Palin is now. Now, I\u2019m not saying that Palin is Reagan. I\u2019m just telling you that Reagan didn\u2019t have the pedigree. I have warned you several times on this program that even during Reagan\u2019s presidency, many of the conservative intellectuals — Buckley was an exception — and many of the Republican liberals just despised the guy, \u2019cause he embarrassed \u2019em. His folksiness, his connection to the pro-life community, he embarrassed \u2019em. His “the bombing starts in five minutes,” calling the Soviets the evil empire, I mean the left all hated that, but so did a lot of people in the Republican Party. <\/p>\n

Krauthammer used to write speeches for Walter Mondale. Yeah. Howard Baker was his choice in \u201976 or \u201980, I forget which. George Will was a late arrival to the Reagan revolution and eventually became a close friend and associate, but he was not — (interruption) well, I don\u2019t want to bring myself into this, H.R. I mean what do I have to gain by saying they were cool to my arrival? Buckley was not. But Buckley was the exception. What\u2019s interesting about Buckley is, you know, folks, I\u2019ll tell you something. There\u2019s something fascinating going on in the conservative intellectual media movement. One of the things that Buckley did — I think this is a factor, too, in a way — within this conclave, if you will, the cardinal of conservative colleges loved Buckley because he told the Birchers to go to heck, he threw the Birchers out of the conservative movement thereby sparing the conservative movement any association and accompanying embarrassment. I mean he filleted \u2019em. He wrote piece after piece. He sent the Birchers packing. Well, there are, I think, elements of the conservative intellectual movement today who are looking to be the next Buckley excommunicating the next Bircher, whoever it might be, movement individual, what have you. <\/p>\n

So it could be a little bit of that, even though Palin\u2019s not a Bircher by any stretch. She\u2019s not a conspiracy kook or theorist. So Buckley remains. Buckley was born wealthy, silver spoon in his mouth, but he was not an enemy of flyover country. He was not disdainful. Buckley, I remember, invited me — I don\u2019t want to make this about me. But that is an apt analogy about Buckley, and there\u2019s still a lot of people trying to be Buckley today throughout the literary conservative intelligentsia. But for me to sit here and say that the Washington intellectual elite feels the same way about me that they do Sarah, I have a lot of people who tell me that, but I don\u2019t even want to go there because this is not about me. There\u2019s not a Politico story about me. This is Palin being our version of Al Sharpton. I just checked, I got an e-mail from a guy in Virginia that said, “Well, wait a minute, the left loves Sharpton. How is this not really a compliment? I never heard the left criticize Sharpton. The left loves him. He\u2019s one of their favorite rabble-rousers.” All true.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, it always amuses me. On the left, just to kind of combat this notion that they\u2019re the smartest people around, these intellectuals, some of the people on the left who despise Sarah Palin loved John Edwards. Now, if there\u2019s ever a disconnect, John Edwards, as a human being, is clearly lacking. And yet there were people who thought John Edwards was the beginning and end of everything, just the cat\u2019s meow, whatever, who hate Sarah Palin. By the same token, some of these conservative intellectuals were totally smitten with Obama at the outset, remember? Totally smitten with Obama. In the case of David Brooks, it was because of the freaking crease in his pants. He said that. “The crease in his pants made me know he was going to be president.” And these are the intellectuals. But to these guys Obama was like them. They were like Obama at the outset. I don\u2019t think too many of them want to be perceived as like Obama now, but the outset. But Palin, never. They never see themselves as like Sarah Palin, for obvious reasons, be it the pedigree, the education, all the other things.<\/p>\n
