RUSH: Folks, I used to believe that the media were Democrats, but I didn\u2019t think that there was any difference in the media. I mean, I thought there was a huge difference in the media and, say, Occupy Wall Street and the radicals of Code Pink. I knew the media were Democrats, and I knew they were liberals, but I didn\u2019t know until recently — years recently — that they\u2019re gone, that they have become as radical, as bully-ish as the most extreme left-winger in the country.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you an example of it here. David Gregory used to host Meet the Press at NBC. In fact, that\u2019s a great example. Tim Russert. You remember Tim Russert, Mr. Snerdley? (interruption) Tim Russert was a down-the-middle, Big Labor Democrat. But Tim Russert was not one of these wild-eyed radical extremists who think America is the problem in the world. Tim Russert\u2019s family values were just like yours or mine when it came to raising his son and his marriage, his relationship with his wife, Maureen Orth.<\/p>\n

He was a loyal Democrat and he was the bureau chief at NBC. There was no question he was a Democrat. He leaned left, but he was not the same person as these people showing up at a town hall. But that\u2019s not the case today. Steve Bannon showed up at CPAC yesterday. Now, the prepub on Bannon is that he\u2019s a white supremacist, that he\u2019s racist, that he\u2019s alt-right, that he\u2019s all these horrible things. “He\u2019s just a despicable human being!” If you listen to the media, if you listen to anti-Trumpers, Steve Bannon is just human debris. Okay? Nothing to back that up. (unintelligible) He ran Breitbart. There\u2019s literally nothing.<\/p>\n

He has no history of white supremacy or anything of the sort. Do you realize the last time we really had serious white supremacy was when the Democrats ran the South? They were the last white supremacists. They and their military wing the KKK! Those Democrat governors and so forth — and Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and eugenics, whose objective was to eliminate the African-American race. Those were the white supremacists.<\/p>\n
