\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

RUSH:  Look at this right here yesterday, the New York Post had a headline:  “Obama: ‘We\u2019 Are to Blame, Not Islamic Terrorism, for Massacre.<\/a>” Despite the fact that Omar Siddiqui… By the way, Fox News now reporting that Siddiqui\u2019s ex-wife was with him when he bought the ammo for the attack.  She says the FBI told her not to say that her ex-husband was gay.  If that\u2019s true, why would the FBI tell her not to say that?  Heck, I don\u2019t…<\/p>\n

You know, folks, as I just stand back and observe things — and it\u2019s interesting, too. Last week I was on vacation, and for all intents and purposes, I was out of the Continental United States. It\u2019s good for me to do this now and then, to be studying everything or just consume news like everybody else does, not having to do a radio show the next day. Just consuming it while going around doing other things in life, rather than be singularly devoted to learning, digesting, being able to regurgitate it and so forth. <\/p>\n

It just… I don\u2019t know. It strikes a cord.  I don\u2019t know what\u2019s not corrupt anymore.  It doesn\u2019t seem like there are any institutions — other than the military — that you rely on, and even there we have two different kinds of generals.  We have warrior generals and we have the diplomatic political generals who are trying to advance up the Pentagon\u2019s ladder by virtue of noncombat wartime things.  It\u2019s a sobering thing.  And then you see, “Obama: ‘We\u2019 Are to Blame, Not Islamic Terrorism, for Massacre.”<\/line><\/p>\n

What he actually said was “that ‘we have no definitive assessment on the motivation\u2019 of Omar Mateen but that ‘we know he was a person filled with hate.'” So we have an indication “Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn\u2019t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores…” They don\u2019t have to launch salvos from across the ocean.  They are becoming citizens.  They\u2019re becoming members of the military. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s undeniable.  And to listen to this total denial from the highest levels of our government, which is where people go for trust and assurance and belief, and there is…? You can\u2019t invest that in this administration.  This administration obviously feels the need to defend this and to deflect blame to places that have no responsibility for it whatsoever.  Isn\u2019t it interesting, though, the dichotomy?  Whenever militant Islamists — and I guess it\u2019s a voting bloc for the Democrat Party, Islam. I guess. I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

Whenever an act like this happens, “No, no, no! We cannot rush to judgment.  We cannot indict an entire people on religion! We cannot.  In fact, we can\u2019t even blame the shooter.  We have to find reasons to explain why this perfectly normal, lovable young man became a killing machine — and we\u2019re gonna find it somewhere in the United States of America.”  That just… I can tell you, when you have leaders at the highest levels of our government operating that way, that\u2019s not good, and that\u2019s exactly what we have. <\/p>\n

And yet when, as I have said previously, there\u2019s a movie shooting — a mass shooting anywhere in this country — that does not involve a Muslim, what does this administration do?  What does the Democrat Party do?  They make tracks! They do everything they can to find a way to blame the shooter and then say that the shooter knew full well what he was doing because he was in solidarity with the Republican Party or with the conservative movement or with talk radio or with Christianity or what have you. <\/p>\n

I mean, they make no pretense. They do not pause; they do not wait. They run full-speed ahead into indicting as many people in this country as they can.  There is no, “Let\u2019s step back! Let\u2019s not rush to judgment. Let\u2019s make sure that we\u2019re evenhanded.”  There is never restraint. I never see a graphic, “Investigators Still Looking For Motivation Why Colorado Shooter Would Blow up Movie Theater,” or what have you. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t wait for motivation.  They assign it to things like the Tea Party or what have you.  Hillary Clinton has followed President Obama.  Obama goes out there today, makes some comments about militant Islam and whatever else in this event.  Hillary Clinton was in Pittsburgh today, and she\u2019s playing second fiddle to Obama on Trump.  We have a couple of sound bites.  Here\u2019s number one…<\/p>\n

HILLARY:  Yesterday morning, just one day after the massacre, he went on TV and suggested that President Obama is on the side of the terrorists.  History will remember what we do in this moment.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Ah, what a…<\/p>\n

HILLARY:  What Donald Trump is saying is shameful.  It is disrespectful to the people who were killed and wounded and their families. <\/p>\n

FOLLOWERS: (applause)<\/p>\n

HILLARY: And it is yet more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n

FOLLOWERS: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Right on.  So she says that history will remember what we do at this moment. (chuckles) Damn right it will. (snorts) Not in the way we want to record it, by the way.  If this keeps up, we\u2019re not gonna be happy with the way history remembers this.  Donald Trump suggested Obama is on the side of the terrorists? Maybe I did, too.  I don\u2019t know.  I suggest he sounds like a defense lawyer. (interruption) No, no.  I\u2019m not… I\u2019m just… I don\u2019t… I\u2019m sorry.  That\u2019s what it sounds like.  This little speech today, he sound like he felt the need to defend this guy or this event or Islam or what have you.  He felt the need to defend it so that people wouldn\u2019t be thinking what\u2019s obvious here. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the next Hillary bite…<\/p>\n

HILLARY:  I read every word of Donald Trump\u2019s speech yesterday, and I sifted through all of the bizarre rants and the outright lies.  He is fixated on the words “radical Islam.”  Now, I must say, I find this strange.  Is Donald Trump suggesting that there are magic words that, once uttered, will stop terrorists from coming after us?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Come on.<\/p>\n

HILLARY:  Trump, as usual, is obsessed with name-calling.  And, from my perspective, it matters what we do, not just what we say.<\/p>\n
