That\u2019s what the terrorist act is about. Now, the voters in Spain think it\u2019s about Iraq. You can\u2019t blame \u2019em. Well, you can blame \u2019em, but I mean you can still understand it. That\u2019s not what this is all about, didn\u2019t stop the socialists in Spain, it won\u2019t stop the socialists in our own country from politicizing this and turning it into an anti-Bush effort as I said because now they\u2019re breathing a huge sigh of relief.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/meltdown.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"299\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Here\u2019s this audio sound bite. This is last night in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Cedric Brown, a participant in a town hall meeting, asked senator Kerry, &#8220;Who are these foreign leaders that you\u2019ve met with?&#8221; The exchange went on for seven minutes, folks, not going to bore you with all that but here are the highlights and the montage.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><strong>KERRY:<\/strong> No, wait, wait, wait, wait you asked me if I\u2019d met with any leaders. Yes. I have had conversations with leaders, yes, recently. That\u2019s not your business, it\u2019s mine. I\u2019ve met with foreign leaders for any (inaudible) purpose &#8211; I never said that. What I said was that I have heard from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world who don\u2019t appreciate the Bush administration approach and would love to see a change in the leadership of the United States. I\u2019m talking our allies, I\u2019m talking about people who were our friends nine months ago, I\u2019m talking about people who ought to be at our side in Iraq and aren\u2019t because this administration has pushed them away in its arrogance, that\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. Are you a registered Republican? Are you a Republican? You answer the question. That\u2019s not an answer. Did you vote for George Bush? Did you vote for George Bush? Thank you.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/meltdown.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"166\" height=\"269\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>RUSH: So? So what. So there\u2019s Kerry browbeating a participant, and the guy Howard Dean browbeat was a Bush voter. The press tarred and feathered Dean, beat him up, said he was mental, said he was unstable, said he was going to crash and burn at any time. John Kerry is applauded for telling a constituent to shut the hell up, who do you think you are challenging me, is what he\u2019s saying, &#8220;I\u2019m senator John Kerry. You\u2019re nothing but human debris. You dare challenge my word? Well, screw the hell out of you. You vote for Bush? I thought so, you SOB.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> That\u2019s John Kerry talking to this guy yesterday. I saw Kerry on TV this morning. Do you know the Republicans put out a little bit of information, they trickled it out as they usually do. You have to search for these things, as the Republicans say, and one of the things that they said was that Kerry had voted against sending body armor for the troops in Iraq, in one of his famous votes against the defense budget. You know what Kerry said today? No, he said that Bush did not supply the troops with body armor. He has turned it around and done a 180. It is Clinton pathology. He is taking what he did and blaming Bush for it, he\u2019s the one who participated in killing a bill that would have funded body armor for the troops in Iraq and now he\u2019s saying you can\u2019t count on Bush to even protect the troops because he would not send body armor to the troops in Iraq. John Kerry, just this morning in a live speech in front of the firefighters who don\u2019t even support him. Most firefighters in this country have endorsed Bush, are going to vote for Bush, but they\u2019ve got three or four in this Schaitberger guy.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>And, by the way, that\u2019s another thing, the Weekly Standard has done the research, it\u2019s exactly as I thought. All of these 9-11 families that spoke up against Bush\u2019s ads were provided to the media by a five-person extremist group in D.C. that has a fax machine. And they faxed these things out the left-wing media, the media says this is a credible group and they went and got these people, and, lo and behold, that\u2019s how it happens. Big, long piece. I\u2019ve got it here in the stack somewhere. We\u2019ll try to link to it on our website later this afternoon.<\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/meltdown.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al-Qaeda doesn\u2019t give a damn about Spain\u2019s support for the war in Iraq.
