RUSH We have a couple sound bites from George Allen talking about the qualifications of Justice Janice Rogers Brown (bio) from California.<\/p>\n

ALLEN: Justice Brown\u2019s opponents would like the American people to think that she\u2019s a radical, that she\u2019s an ideological extremist in our opposition to government but I would contend if she was so extreme why did 76% of California voters support her? Sadly, sadly, she\u2019s continually attacked her for her opposition and such-and-such as supposedly she hates government. Well, if she hated government, why had seen she been a part of it? A thorough analysis of Justice Brown\u2019s opinions clearly illustrate she is capable of dissecting her personally held views of her dislike of expansive government from her opinions which seek to apply the law as it exists and which consistently defer to the legislative judgments on how best to address social and economic problems.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m going to tell you the real reason that they hate Janice Rogers Brown in a minute and I\u2019ll do it by quoting from a speech that she gave five years ago, but here\u2019s one more from George Allen, and then Barbara Boxer.<\/p>\n

ALLEN: In summation, Priscilla Owen and Janice Rogers Brown just as well as all of the president\u2019s nominees deserve a fair up-or-down vote. As I said earlier, there\u2019s no reason to filibuster these nominations. I have a responsibility to vote. They deserve fair consideration, fair scrutiny, but ultimately we have a responsibility to get off our haunches, show the backbone, show the spine, vote yes or vote no and be responsible to our constituents.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s all well and good but Barbara Boxer says that this Judge Janice Brown is way out of the mainstream. You might ask, “Senator Boxer, where do you think you are?”<\/p>\n

\"\"BOXER: He said she was in the mainstream. This is a woman who has served on the California Supreme Court that is made up of six Republicans and one Democrat. She has dissented a third of the time because her Republican friends on that court just aren\u2019t radical enough for her. Thirty-one times she stood alone on the side of a rapist, on the side of energy companies against the consumers, against women who were seeking to get contraception, and it goes on and on. Against workers. She said it was fine for Latinos to have racial slurs used against them in the workplace. This is a woman with an inspiring personal life story, but it is what she has done to other people\u2019s lives that make her far out of the mainstream.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, that\u2019s just unbelievable. I agree with the caller who cited this little statement by Senator Boxer. Let\u2019s see the evidence of this. Let\u2019s see these 31 rapists that she defended. Let\u2019s see these 31 rape victims that she found against. Let\u2019s talk about all these women that she denied contraception — and what about this “it\u2019s okay to slur Latinos in the workplace”? Where was the evidence of this? Is this just stuff that Ralph Neas and People for the American Way trump up and send off to these senators and they regurgitate it?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All this talk about she defends rapists and she allows ethics slurs against Latinos in the workplace, that\u2019s all pap. Let me tell you something, folks: If there\u2019s a party that\u2019s out there slowly and surely becoming racist and bigoted it\u2019s the Democrats, and you can see it simply and very concisely in their treatment of this nominee, Justice Brown. All right, let\u2019s go the Newsweek story. No. Before that, I\u2019ve got a call on Justice Brown. It\u2019s Pat in Arlington, Virginia. Welcome to the program. I\u2019m glad you waited.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Very well.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a neighbor of Janice Rogers Brown, and I\u2019m listening to all of these people who do not know her. I\u2019ve known her for about 15 years and we live in a racially diverse community, and I know her personality. I know how she interacts with people. I know that she has worked with crime victims\u2019 rights in California. I know her from the time that she worked on Governor Wilson\u2019s staff. I know how she has fought to keep criminals locked in prison where they belong, how she has fought diligently for tougher sentences for those people who prey upon the innocent in our society, and it just appalls me to no end that I\u2019m hearing all of these people who do not know her. She\u2019s a very calming soul. She\u2019s very gentle. She loves her fellow man.<\/p>\n

She loves this country. She\u2019s everything that people have fought so hard for the last 200 years to make something of themselves. She is from a family of sharecroppers. My grandfather was a sharecropper. We have worked our butts off in this country to make something of ourselves. I\u2019m not at the same level that she is as far as academics is concerned; she has her JD. She has been on the California Supreme Court. She\u2019s worked in the governor\u2019s office as his right hand person when it comes to the law in California. I know this lady like a sister. We live about two blocks from one another, and it is wrong — absolutely wrong — for these people to be talking about her the way that she is simply because of her beliefs. Are you there, Rush?<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Yes, I\u2019m here. I see no reason to stop you. It\u2019s well stated.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m just angry today. I am just angry, and livid.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You should join the club. You know, I agree with you totally. It\u2019s appalling, and it\u2019s frustrating at the same time to listen to good people like this have their whole lives trashed and destroyed and lied about, the reputations under fire by a bunch of pompous, arrogant, monarch-like senators.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, you know, Rush, the reason why the Democrats are losing so many of us African-Americans to the Republican Party is simply because they\u2019re a bunch of arrogant (exhale). Oh, I\u2019m just furious right now. But they have told people in this country for many, many years that they are about the people who are the little person, the downtrodden, the minorities and all of those people. But once we get to a certain level in society, they squash us like a bug, and they do not want us to come up to a certain level, and those of us who try to break that bubble and make something of ourselves and who think as individuals and not in lockstep because somebody says, “This is the way you\u2019re supposed to think,” then they fight tooth and nail to destroy us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know why? Let me tell you why, because you\u2019ve hit the nail on the head with everything you said but that last point you made is especially correct and poignant. The reason for it is: That\u2019s why they feared Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas, justice of the Supreme Court, is arguably the most powerful black man in America. And he stands as living proof that you do not have to go through Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or the NAACP to make something of yourself. You can do it on your own. You don\u2019t have to go through the Democratic Party with their patronage. You don\u2019t have to do it with affirmative action.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to do it with all the government prescriptions. You don\u2019t have to do it with government at all. You can do it on your own, and the prominence of people like Clarence Thomas and Justice Brown is proof positive of the fact that the Democrats do not deliver and cannot deliver what they\u2019ve been promising for 50 years, that people can do it on their own — and as such she represents a huge, huge threat to their future. That\u2019s why they seek to destroy her. Thanks so much for the call, Pat. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
