RUSH: Jan in Martinez, California. Or is it “Martin-ez”? How do you pronounce it out there? <\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s Martinez. <\/p>\n

RUSH: How are you? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m great. I just want you to know when I put my girls to bed every night we pray for you and we pray for our country. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. One in the same, and I appreciate that. <\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. We\u2019re praying that God will rise up a candidate who can help our country out here. So I\u2019m calling about all this Sarah Palin hoopla that you\u2019ve had on your show the last few days. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I would have to say that I\u2019m like Sarah Palin. I\u2019m six months older than her. I didn\u2019t hang with girls in high school because they were too catty for me. I didn\u2019t carry a can of hair spray around in my purse. We actually have the same degree. We actually both have husbands that love us and we love them. I don\u2019t care what people think about me. I\u2019m a black-and-white person. I\u2019m very conservative. You don\u2019t have to be my best friend. If we don\u2019t agree on things, you know, that\u2019s okay. I\u2019ve heard Sarah Palin speak; I\u2019ve met her. I\u2019ve also heard Rick Santorum and Herman Cain. I heard Pawlenty, but he took off after the speech — I couldn\u2019t sink my claws into him — and I\u2019ve met Sharron Angle. I want to tell people: These people are not like the media portrays. They\u2019re good, honest people that the media has shredded, and that\u2019s the point of my call. Most conservative women that I talk to I am in a Republican women\u2019s federated group, Rush, and I also go to Tea Parties — these are good, solid women and they bought the line from the media. They always say the same thing. “Oh, she\u2019s great at rallying the troops. We love her enthusiasm, but we just don\u2019t think she can recover from that media onslaught.” <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that seems to be the line. That\u2019s what Vinny from Queens<\/a> said. A lot of people say it to me. Others say she\u2019s not qualified. Others say she\u2019s too stupid. Conservatives who have a natural, instinctive distrust of the media seem to believe everything the media says about her. Now, there\u2019s a fascinating story here on the AP Wire today and it caused my antenna to go up. Headline alone: “Top Democratic Women Dodge Tough Call on Weiner — — Pursed lips. Frosty glares. Polite demurrals. Icy silence. Women in politics are grappling with the distinctly unfunny choice of restraining themselves or letting rip what they really think about Rep. Anthony Weiner,” and this story essentially is about Democrat women not dumping on Weiner. Democrat women are going out of their way not to be critical of Weiner because he\u2019s one of them. They\u2019re not dumping on Weiner…<\/p>\n

In fact, Barbara Walters? It\u2019s amazing some of the things that Barbara Walters is saying. He was just trying to show his wife how much he loved her and how much he was thinking about her. Honest to God! Barbara Walters, yeah. The picture in the early stages, when everybody thought he\u2019d been hacked, said he took the picture because he wanted his wife to know how much he loves her how much he was thinking about her. Folks, the things that leftist women have come up with to defend Weiner. Meanwhile, as we have heard on this program (and I understand it\u2019s now bled over to other programs around the country), conservative women are dumping all over Sarah Palin, but Democrat women are circling the wagons to protect Weiner. That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right, to protect their Weiner. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fascinating case study, folks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jackie in Athens, Missouri, as we go back to the phones on Open Line Friday. Hi. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (muffled) Hey, Rush. Can you hear me? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I hear you fine. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, good. Listen, I know it\u2019s probably not your favorite thing to insult a lot of your listeners, and we all know that a lot of your listeners are women. But due to the seriousness of this upcoming election, I don\u2019t think you have any choice but to come right out and tell them that you were of the opinion that conservative women were intelligent and thought about issues and actually acted upon their thoughts about issues and that you are ashamed –shocked and ashamed — that conservative women are responding to Sarah Palin the way they are. I\u2019m ashamed of my own sex. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I actually spent a lot of yesterday\u2019s program doing that in my own words. I did ask: “What is this whole point?” The point I made was the importance of policy these days. How come it\u2019s being subordinated to all these superficial concerns, and I was somewhat surprised by it because I\u2019ve always known liberal women run around and they\u2019re susceptible to soccer mom garbage and all that. But I\u2019ve always thought that conservative women were far more deep in their depth of substance on issues. This Sarah Palin business, it\u2019s caused me to start scratching my head about it. It really has. It was painful for me to try to massage this yesterday, but basically here what Jackie is saying is that some of you women have called here are stupid and she wants me to say that. She wanted to say it herself because she knows that I won\u2019t, but that\u2019s pretty much it, right, Snerdley? Yeah. She wants me to call women stupid, and that\u2019s just not what I do. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: John in “Occupied Chicago.” Great to have you on the EIB network. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Maha Rushie. It\u2019s a pleasure to talk to you. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mexicans will definitely vote for Sarah Palin. Why? Because she\u2019s got more testosterone in her pinky than most of the Republican Party does. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yup.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I regretfully say that because believe you me: There\u2019s a lot of old white Republican men that I admire and I appreciate that they keep me and my family safe. In these dark times, that\u2019s what I need: To have men standing there in those offices with principles — and, again, I\u2019m sorry to say that Sarah Palin has more testosterone in her pinky than most of the Republican Party does; and she\u2019s not the only one. Michele Bachmann is also a good person. We can talk about Ileana Ros-Lehtinen over there in your state. These are the people that I admire. The shame is the only ones speaking out are the women. What\u2019s up with the men? <\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve asked that — and meanwhile, Anthony Weiner told the New York Post that he\u2019s going to “stick it out.” That\u2019s actually their headline at the New York Post. “Weiner: I\u2019ll stick it out.” (laughing) He\u2019s not going to resign. We\u2019ve been asking that question, John, and pointing out that the gonads in the Republican side are with the women: Palin, Bachmann, some of the Tea Party women. There\u2019s no question. I really do believe that there has been a chickification of our political culture, particularly Washington, DC. I just believe it. I think it\u2019s been a steady, albeit slow, encroachment since the modern area of feminism began, traceable to the late \u201960s, early \u201970s. There\u2019s a sitcom that\u2019s starting in the fall. I\u2019ll have to go out here and find it on the computer. I didn\u2019t bother printing it out because I didn\u2019t think it would come up, but the sitcom is about a guy who has been… What\u2019s the best way to put this? I\u2019ll have to paraphrase it. He\u2019s totally henpecked, but it supposedly represents the way things are. It\u2019s not making a statement against it. It\u2019s supposed to be reflective of the way things are in culture today. So it is a phenomenon. It really is. I\u2019m glad you called from “Occupied Chicago,” John.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look at this now: You\u2019ve got 24,000 e-mails being released by the State of Alaska about Sarah Palin and the New York Times and the Washington Post — hell, all of them — have camera crews there! They\u2019ve got trucks. They\u2019ve got reporters. They\u2019ve solicited members of the public to pore through all of these e-mails desperate to find something that they can use that will finally, once and for all, destroy Sarah Palin. Yet not one bit of curiosity about: Who is Barack Obama? Not one shred of energy is being deployed to tell us who this guy really is, nor has there been! The same media that is out to destroy Sarah Palin and Bachmann, and any Republican that surfaces, is not at all interested in who Obama really is. Then those of us who want information on Obama, we end up being mocked!<\/p>\n

We end up being laughed at and made fun of and called racist or what have you. “Come on, Rush, let it go! Can\u2019t you just accept it? The guy was elected,” blah, blah, blah. Well, we sit here and we watch a search and destroy mission. This is what really makes me mad when I hear people on our side sit here and say, “Well, Rush she\u2019s damaged goods.” Okay. “Just let it happen. Not much we can do about it. Gotta move on! Next.” I had my annual Spring Fling, which is a combination political golf weekend over five days. It was at the end of April, and I don\u2019t mention the names of the guests because of privacy and all that, but I would love to be able to tell you who was there because I\u2019ll tell you what we talked about, and it would matter. <\/p>\n

But one of the subjects that came up one night at dinner was precisely this lack of unity on the right to circle the wagons and protect our own when any of us or them are under assault. If the media targets somebody for any kind of transgression, you can bet your bottom dollar that somebody on our side is going to join them. “Yeah, we\u2019ve got to get rid of this person. This person is not fit to be one of us, not fit to be a conservative. This person is going to bring us all down,” and all of that is oriented in trying to be loved and respected by the left. So the left comes out and says, “X is a reprobate! Look at what X did,” a Republican candidate or elected official or whatever. <\/p>\n

But you look at what\u2019s happening in New York: Even liberal women are circling the wagons around Weiner! Liberal women are doing everything they can to not pile on the guy. Conservative women — and not just women, a lot of conservatives and Republicans — are on the bandwagon trying to destroy Sarah Palin, as they did try to destroy Christine O\u2019Donnell. It was a major discussion point one night at dinner. It\u2019s one of these phenomenons. You can see it happening right here with the Sarah Palin e-mails. Massive interest. “Gosh, can we find some dirt? Let\u2019s get rid of her. Yes, yes, yes,” and enlisting the public to do so, and yet not one ounce of energy is spent on finding out exactly who Obama is or anything about his policies.<\/p>\n
