\n

DAUM: You have said, “Stay the course.” George Bush calls the people there “thugs;” you call them “extremists.” But they hated Saddam Hussein, and they now hate us. They wanted Saddam Hussein out. Now they want the United States out. And you say, “Stay the course.” What the United States is doing is bombing hospitals, bombing mosques, sniping at civilians, killing hundreds of civilians, wounding thousands of civilians. And you say, “Stay the course.” Is that the criminal course that you want to stay? This is an imperialist country that\u2019s fighting an imperialist war. You say, “Stay the course of this imperialist war,” and you say you are a stark difference from George Bush. People hate George Bush. By the end of your presidency people will hate you <\/emphasize>for the same thing. You may fool some of the Americans that you are different from George Bush on this war, but you\u2019re not fooling most of the world and you\u2019re going to fool Iraqis.<\/line>RUSH: Alright, for those of you that live in New York, this is the kind of insanity that\u2019s been running the universities that you have been sending your kids to. We\u2019re doing just the opposite. We are building <\/emphasize>hospitals, building <\/emphasize>mosques. We are not killing, sniping, blowing up any of those things. We are not <\/emphasize>an imperialist country, and he was trying to obviously — I mean, this is the way Kerry sounded when he came back from Vietnam. This is the kind of stuff Kerry was saying about America vis-?-vis Vietnam when he came back. As Walter Daum here is saying [translated\/paraphrased]: “You are a traitor. You used to look at America the way I look at it, but now you don\u2019t. You\u2019re no different than Bush, and we hate Bush, and you\u2019re going to be hated, too, if you don\u2019t watch out.” <\/line>And what\u2019s interesting about this, I have seen the AP version of this story in countless places today and not once <\/emphasize>is the line, “People hate George Bush, and by the end of your presidency people will hate you for the same thing.” The only line that they use from this Walter Daum guy is some inconsequential line to which Kerry responds, “You\u2019re not listening to me,” and they call him a “heckler.” But they\u2019ve left out, this is the meat of what this Walter Daum said. Listen. He\u2019s attacking the country as “an imperialist country.” We are “murderers.” We\u2019re “sniping at civilians, killing hundreds of civilians, wounding thousands of civilians.” This is what liberals think of America, folks. They\u2019ve got this guy, this nominee out there, and he\u2019s not…(sniffs).<\/line> I\u2019ll tell you what this represents to me (and pardon the sniffles but it happens every time I laugh hysterically which I\u2019ve been doing lately). They\u2019ve nominated the wrong guy. This little speech from Walter Daum to John Kerry, the translation is: “We thought you were somebody else. We thought you were a liberal Democrat, so we thought that meant something. Now here you are, you\u2019re the nominee and you\u2019re no different than Bush!” And I told everybody back in the days when Kerry won Iowa and swept into New Hampshire — and all this cascading started and all these primaries — these Democrats just voted for Kerry because they thought he was the guy that was going to win and during all these exit polls you would see that they didn\u2019t care about Kerry. <\/line><\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t even know what he stood for. Their #1 reason for voting for him was, “Well, he looks like a guy that can beat Bush because we hate Bush,” and I said, “There\u2019s going to be some buyer\u2019s remorse, because they guy doesn\u2019t excite them. He doesn\u2019t energize them. He doesn\u2019t inspire them doesn\u2019t motivate \u2019em. The charisma quotient here is a little lacking,” and nevertheless they go ahead and they nominate him and the Democrats, you know, kind of got screwed by their own media because the media is covering all these primaries as though this guy is win being the presidency in every one of them. “It\u2019s a record! Why, it\u2019s never seen unity like this!” You\u2019ve heard it. Remember the media talks to all these Democrats around the country are getting all excited? <\/line> “Wow! Why, we may really be able to get rid of the Bush guy that we hate!” The media got them all excited but they didn\u2019t know who the candidate was because he didn\u2019t do much speaking. All these surrogates are out there doing it. Now he\u2019s showing up, and I\u2019m telling you here today, ladies and gentlemen, what you just heard from this former dean, assistant dean of City College, Walter Daum accusing this country of murdering thousands of civilians and destroying mosques and bombing civilian targets, that\u2019s<\/emphasize> who America\u2019s mainstream left is today and they thought they had nominated somebody of like-mind and now they\u2019re a little bit upset. They\u2019ve been bamboozled and this is, I think, just the first of many such examples of this — especially in the Northeast.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: All right, we\u2019re going to now play that sound bite again followed by John Kerry\u2019s reaction to it. So let\u2019s go back to #2. Here\u2019s the former Assistant Dean of City College, Walter Daum, chastising Kerry for being on the same track as Bush in terms of being hated by the American people. <\/line>(Replaying of Daum sound bite.)<\/line>RUSH: All right, now here comes the dynamic response to this from somebody that\u2019s on Kerry\u2019s side.<\/line>KERRY: I have consistently been critical of how we got where we are, but we are where we are, sir. And it would be unwise beyond belief for the United States of America to leave a failed Iraq in its wake. And I want the Americans out, and so do Americans want —<\/line>DAUM: No you don\u2019t. You say, “Stay the course,” senator.<\/line>KERRY: Let me just finish. Stay the course of leaving a stable Iraq. <\/line>RUSH: So, this guy\u2019s just ripped <\/emphasize>(Kerry) into pieces and thrown him up against the wall, and Kerry does not address the specifics <\/emphasize>of what the guy says, does not defend the action that we\u2019re taking, does not defend the country against this charge of murdering civilians, wounding civilians, and all this other stuff that was included. Instead he says [Kerry sing-song voice:] “I have consistently been critical of how we got there, but we\u2019re there, sir, and it would be unwise beyond belief for the United States of America to…” and this Walter Daum is sitting there pulling his hair out. [program observer interruption] What? He can\u2019t answer it. He cannot deal with these people. These debates are going to be something. They\u2019re going to be pathetic. They\u2019re going to be like watching Janet Reno there. <\/line><\/p>\n

This is a stock, cue-card answer, and he doesn\u2019t know how can he get off of it. I mean, this is an anti-war guy who is for Kerry, and he cannot even answer this guy with his own statements in the past. [program observer interruption] Well, obviously. Well, okay, I see what you\u2019re saying. “How can he answer this guy because Kerry said the same stuff during the Vietnam.” Well, at some point, this is where Kerry is going ot have to. He\u2019s gotten himself in this trap. [Kerry impression:] “Went to Vietnam, I protested Vietnam,” blah, blah. They\u2019re trying to revive Vietnam service. So here come people who think Kerry is one of these great guys. That\u2019s who they think he is. That\u2019s my whole point. They\u2019ve nominated somebody that they don\u2019t know. They\u2019ve nominated somebody they don\u2019t understand. If Kerry were to go out and defend the country, this guy would be pulling his hair out, this Walter Daum.<\/line>That would be the end. Kerry might not have got out of there alive. If this guy starts saying, “Mr. Daum, I object to you characterizing this as an imperialist action,” ugh! So this is an example, folks, of who the liberals are and how they get trapped. Kerry is trying to be all things to all people but he can\u2019t satisfy his own base. When they learn who he is, they don\u2019t understand it, and they don\u2019t like it, and here\u2019s Daum warning he\u2019s going to be as hated as they hate Bush. So you heard Kerry\u2019s response. He says [Kerry sing-song voice:] “Let me just finish. Stay the course, leaving.” This is not real talk to people like this Walter Daum guy. You know, this is stump speech stuff that nobody responds to. [Kerry sing-song voice:] “Stay the course of leaving a stable Iraq.” I\u2019ll betcha he doesn\u2019t even know the words. I betcha he\u2019s just mouthing the syllables. So anyway, Walter Daum responds.<\/line>KERRY: If you don\u2019t leave a stable Iraq with a legitimacy to whatever entity is going to transform the government, you have the potential for a civil war, you have the potential for Shi\u2019a vs. Sunni vs. Kurd. There are all kinds of potentials. Let me just finish.<\/line>DAUM: They are united against the occupation.<\/line>KERRY: Yes, but…but…but the point is this, sir. You\u2019re not listening to me.<\/line>DAUM: Oh, yes, I am.<\/line>KERRY: Well, then you haven\u2019t, frankly, listened, because in fact the course that I have proposed is to you turn over to the United Nations the full responsibility for the transformation of the government and for the reconstruction.<\/line>RUSH: Walter Daum was not finished.(laughing) It didn\u2019t satisfy him.<\/line>DAUM: No, he said he was going to bring in the UN and NATO as the solution, and that\u2019s not different from an American imperialist occupation.<\/line>RUSH: This guy is really far out there. The UN “is no different than an American imperialist occupation.” Kerry tries to get out of it. I love this. Folks, this shows you the intellectual bankruptcy <\/emphasize>that these people bring to this issue. I\u2019m talking about Kerry. I mean, you can say what you want about Walter Daum, but he thinks what he thinks. He\u2019s very clear about it. He could probably get the nomination of this party if he ran as a candidate and just said this. If he would just go on TV and say, “You know, I don\u2019t think Kerry is the guy. I want to be president and here\u2019s why,” and go into this little 47-second riff about how we\u2019re an imperialist country murdering civilians, the Democrats in this country would nominate this guy so fast. There\u2019d be so much money behind this guy, it would be scary. <\/line>But here Kerry doesn\u2019t know how to deal with this guy because he can\u2019t allow himself to use the words that he\u2019s used in his own past. By not objecting to this guy and not defending the country, he\u2019s also putting himself in a trap. Instead, he defends it. His whole solution is [Kerry sing-song voice:] “I propose solution of turning all of this over to the United Nations international task force.” What\u2019s that going to do? This is… I don\u2019t know how to characterize this because I think I know liberals. I think I know them, as I\u2019ve often said, “like every square inch, orifice of my body, not just the back of my hand,” and I know how they\u2019re reacting to this, and this is not exciting them, folks. They are not thrilled about this. Right now liberals who hear this are thinking Walter Daum makes more sense than John Kerry does and they\u2019re upset Kerry doesn\u2019t agree with him. They\u2019re upset that Kerry doesn\u2019t hire him as a foreign policy advisor or do something, but his attitude here, he knows that he\u2019s losing. <\/line><\/p>\n

He\u2019s losing ground with this guy, so in essence he says, “You\u2019re not listening! Just shut up.” [As Baum:] “I\u2019m hearing every word you\u2019re saying.” [Kerry sing-song voice:] “Well, no, you\u2019re not, and I want you to shut up! I want you to listen again,” and it\u2019s typical. Liberals go out and they meet and greet the average common people and they still, even their own people, they can\u2019t help but treat them as condescending doofuses or they condescend to them as doofuses. [As Kerry:] “You don\u2019t know how the Senate works. You don\u2019t know what I\u2019m saying. You\u2019re not listening to what I\u2019m saying. You don\u2019t get it. No wonder you\u2019re a former<\/emphasize> dean. It\u2019s a good thing you\u2019re still not around deaning our students now.” (laughing) That\u2019s the only escape Kerry has is to tell this guy who is obviously three times the speaker that Kerry is, that he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. <\/line>And he doesn\u2019t have the brains to understand somebody like me, John Kerry. [Kerry sing-song voice:] “You are just too closed-minded. You don\u2019t have the ability to understand exactly the nuances of what I\u2019m saying. I\u2019m Joooohn Keeeerry, and my wife has $500 million, and you\u2019re just a former dean.” Now, this is this attitude. This guy was not taking it. Now, you can say what you want about what the guy said. I mean it\u2019s wacko; it\u2019s kook, but this is what I mean. These people have become the mainstream thinkers, generators of the Democratic Party. It\u2019s who they are. They hate this country. They hate the military of this country. They despise <\/emphasize>the American foreign policy, and you heard it all articulated here by Mr. Daum. And Kerry, you know, he can\u2019t afford to make these guys mad. They\u2019re the only people that are going to vote for him. So he doesn\u2019t know how to do it. This is so instructive.<\/line>I only saw maybe a third of what I\u2019ve played for you here last night, and when I called Cookie, I said, “I want this whole thing. I want to see this whole thing,” and I\u2019m looking at this, and I\u2019m more convinced than ever, folks, that it is bad, that there is panic on the Democrat side. This is just — I mean, I\u2019m searching myself, because I\u2019m not sure I know the words to describe just how pitiful, inferior, pathetic, uninspiring, damning, damaging this is. The inability to deal with this guy, to have no power of charisma or motivation or inspiration and then the only retort to be every time somebody challenges you and wins, to tell \u2019em they\u2019re too stupid to understand what John Kerry is saying? It isn\u2019t going to fly for very long. I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re going to do about it, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any accident we\u2019re starting to see pictures of Hillary Clinton with John Kerry, in schools and all these other typical little campaign places. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
