RUSH: I don\u2019t care. The others aren\u2019t running for president. Look, this is a neat trick. This is a neat question. And I just went along with your premise for the sake of the fact that I\u2019m a polite host. But here\u2019s the bottom line. Your question is, “If JFK is elected, will I still attack him?” I don\u2019t attack. I defend. I defend myself, and I defend the people I support when they are under assault, when they\u2019re being lied about, when they\u2019re being tarred and feathered, when they are being trashed, that\u2019s what I have done throughout my career and that\u2019s what I will always do. I am preemptive when it comes to predicting what liberals are going to do, but I\u2019m always right, so how is that trashing them? I\u2019m just warning people. <\/line>You know, I\u2019m like Paul Revere riding through the media wilderness here, warning everybody. Look, yes, I\u2019ve been preemptive and I\u2019m proud of my preemptions because my preemptions are good, they work. But, yeah, the premise of his question is am I just going to start savaging John Kerry? What I do is in the arena of ideas, political ideas. I stand up for what I believe in, and if I think somebody is wrong I\u2019m going to say so. <\/line>But, here\u2019s the real point, my friends. It is March the 30th, 1:26 in the afternoon. We\u2019ve got this gentleman\u2019s call. Make a note, because I don\u2019t know, whenever Kerry announced for the White House in January of 2003. So from January of 2003 to March 30th of 2004 up to 1:25 we\u2019d never had one call supporting John Kerry. We now have. We\u2019ve made history. Well, yeah, I\u2019m making a stretch here. It really wasn\u2019t a pro-Kerry call, it was an anti-Rush call, but the guy is still planning on Kerry<\/line>being in the White House. I mean, I haven\u2019t heard one of those guys. <\/line>I have not heard a call from, “he\u2019s going to win, you know, and when he does…” well, that\u2019s what this was. Even though he said “if,” he\u2019s hoping. But this is clearly a pro-Kerry call, he started defending his $87 billion stupid vote, or lack of vote. What did he do, he voted both ways, and the caller was defending that. Defending both votes. And so it\u2019s a history-making day, I\u2019ve been asking for this, I\u2019ve been taunting liberal Democrats nationwide, “please, can you give me one caller, just one who actually supports and has an affection and an energy behind John Kerry?” And I still don\u2019t think we\u2019ve gotten the affection and the energy call yet. But we do have Greg in Phoenix who called on his cell phone which costs him some money, that counts too. People that use cell phones, it\u2019s an 800 number, they still have to pay. It\u2019s easy for us to track cell phone calls if we have to get back at people, but nevertheless, and he took that risk as well. So we\u2019ll give it to him, we\u2019ll call him the first pro-John Kerry call in 15 months of the presidential campaign. It\u2019s a big red-letter day here, folks. We\u2019re happy now. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
