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

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you another trick.\u00a0 You know when this whole business of showing movies and videos before a candidate — do you remember when that started?\u00a0 Be careful. It started with Jimmy Carter in 1976.\u00a0 The Democrat convention in 1976, they produced this moving, tearjerker video, didn\u2019t really have much to do with Carter.\u00a0 It was about how great and wonderful the Democrats are, what they\u2019re gonna do for the country. It focused on the pain and suffering out there that the Democrats were gonna fix, and it genuinely was a tearjerker.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter won that primary in \u201976 and he won the election.\u00a0 So every year now, just like Reagan was the first to bring a hero in the State of the Union, put \u2019em up there with the first lady. They do that every year now, and the video preceding the nominee, that was started with Carter.\u00a0 Now there\u2019s a video before every damn speaker, practically.\u00a0 (interruption) Panetta got booed last night?\u00a0 Well, let me tell you about that, though.<\/p>\n

Now, who is Leon Panetta?\u00a0 You might think of Panetta as the former CIA director and all.\u00a0 Leon Panetta, back in the nineties, was Mr. Democrat.\u00a0 Leon Panetta was the epitome of what the Democrat Party — this is not a pro or con comment.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying he was an arch- anything.\u00a0 He\u2019s a reasonable guy, on the surface.\u00a0 I mean, he\u2019s as partisan as George Mitchell was.\u00a0 But on the surface like Daschle, he\u2019s soft-spoken and a reasonable man, there\u2019s certainly nothing radical or extreme about them.\u00a0 But he wasn\u2019t what the average Democrat today is.\u00a0 The average Democrat today runs around carrying signs saying America was never great.\u00a0 That\u2019s another thing about Obama\u2019s speech last night.\u00a0 With protest signs outside the arena being carried that say, “America was never great,” here\u2019s Obama sounding like Ronald Reagan?<\/p>\n

Anyway, Panetta — this is important — Panetta was Mr. Democrat like Bob Strauss used to be Mr. Democrat. Mr. Democrat in the 1990s, I mean, responsible, adult, refined, sophisticated, got heckled and booed off the stage last night.\u00a0 That was an illustration of how far gone to the left this party is.\u00a0 Panetta was a chief of staff for Clinton and when he resigned he gave one of the biggest kiss assists speeches I have ever heard.\u00a0 It made me almost want to throw up.\u00a0 It was in the Lewinsky era and it was how great Clinton was, what he had done to remake and modernize the Democrat Party, just puke city.\u00a0 But it all stemmed from loyalty.<\/p>\n

But he was Mr. Democrat.\u00a0 He was the Democrat you cross the aisle with to work with, folks, back in those days, and he\u2019s heckled and booed off the stage practically last night.\u00a0 You know why?\u00a0 Because to those people he was at the CIA, and he was secretary of defense during Benghazi.\u00a0 He\u2019s a warmonger.\u00a0 The Bernie Sanders crowd, they hate Hillary for the same reason.\u00a0 He\u2019s a warmonger, kills people.\u00a0 So does Obama with drones, but somehow that didn\u2019t get mentioned.<\/p>\n
