RUSH: I\u2019m in Snerdley\u2019s office and we\u2019re watching TV. He always has MSNBC on. (I don\u2019t know why, but he always does.) I forget who the info babe was. It doesn\u2019t matter who the info babe was, but I\u2019m watching this back there, and they\u2019re talking about Rove. There\u2019s b-roll of Karl Rove being frog-marched out of some building or something, and there\u2019s Michael Isikoff — the guy from Newsweek who lied about a Koran being flushed down a toilet at Club Gitmo that caused who knows how many attacks and riots and deaths in Afghanistan and a number of places. Here is Michael Isikoff still with total credibility, pontificating on what Rove did. ‘We\u2019ve gotta get Rove,\u2019 and they had this report from this canned US attorney Iglesias, and he put up this graphic of an e-mail to Karl Rove from Pete Domenici, said (paraphrasing), ‘Look, this guy is not doing his job here. I\u2019ve got a perfect guy for you. Thanks, Karl, for considering it,\u2019 and so forth. Senators do recommend judge appointees. The White House hires US attorneys. So he sends an e-mail to Rove and writes, ‘Thanks, Karl.\u2019 Who else you going to call if you want this done? The president\u2019s the guy that hires and fires these people! So they got a little graphic up there from David Iglesias, ‘What\u2019s Domenici thanking Rove for?\u2019 Well, it\u2019s a common way you end an e-mail, Mr. Iglesias. I don\u2019t know about you, but when I send people e-mails, I thank \u2019em whether I\u2019m asking them for something or not. Man, oh, man, folks! This guy that called<\/a> right before the last hour ended, who wanted to know why we have to play by the rules and the other clowns out there don\u2019t? ‘How come the Iranians get away with violating the Geneva Conventions and we are slayed when we don\u2019t violate them, for violating them?\u2019 I want to expand on this. You folks have gotta understand something. This is a combination of two forces having come together (actually, one entity) political correctness and liberalism. You have to understand liberalism. It has many facets to it, but one of the facets is that the majority is, by definition, unfair because it\u2019s larger<\/emphasize> than the minority. So the minority has no power. The small groups have zero power, therefore they are incapable of being any ‘-ists.\u2019 They\u2019re not bigots; they\u2019re not racists; they are not sexists because they ‘don\u2019t have the power to implement\u2019 any of their bigotry. Well, on the other hand it\u2019s not supposed to be fair for the majority because they\u2019re already in a power position that\u2019s unfair relative to everybody else. Now, at the root of this is the fact that liberals live their lives trying to accomplish one thing, and that is that they never discriminate against people. That is why they look at my humor wrong. I\u2019ve seen liberals say, ‘Well, yeah, Limbaugh\u2019s funny, but the problem with Limbaugh\u2019s humor is that it\u2019s always at the price of some minority or it\u2019s always aimed at people who have no power.\u2019 This is the subtext for it. You are just not allowed to discriminate. They will not allow themselves to discriminate. Well, you might say, ‘They discriminate against Bush all the time.\u2019 Well, let\u2019s say it\u2019s a contest between Bush and the Iranians. You have to discriminate against Bush, because Bush has all the arsenal; he has the power; he has this robust economy behind him. It\u2019s okay to discriminate against the majority, particularly when you\u2019re not in it. So these poor little insurgents in Iraq? Why, they\u2019re just these little nomads and they\u2019re up against this massive superpower, and they\u2019re just doing what they can to get noticed!<\/emphasize> When I first came across this, early on in my busy broadcast career, I went out to Los Angeles. I was doing an appearance out there at our 50,000 watt flame thrower, KFI, and there had been some gay protest — oh, it was when ACT UP stormed into St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral and started throwing condoms during the mass of John Cardinal O\u2019Connor. I just flipped a wig on this and raised holy hell about it. I said, ‘Maybe you people, instead of throwing condoms in there, need to seek some counsel in there because this is clearly…\u2019 and some reporter in Los Angeles (I forget what paper) wanted to talk to me about it. I said, ‘This is outrageous. It\u2019s setting back the movement.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘But they have to do something to get noticed, Mr. Limbaugh! Nobody paying attention to their cause. They have to do anything they can to get noticed.\u2019 <\/p>\n

A light went off in my head. Oh, they\u2019re entitled<\/emphasize> to all this disobedience. They\u2019re entitled to go up to the edge of the law and maybe cross the line and break the law, because they\u2019re a minority, and they are being discriminated against simply because they\u2019re in the minority. Even minority members are automatically the victims of discrimination by virtue of being<\/emphasize> a minority. Their characteristics; their character; their behavior, is irrelevant. They can be reprobates, and they\u2019re entitled<\/emphasize> to be, because they are in the minority. So when you ask me, ‘Why is it that has the Iranians able to get away with violating all these codes of conduct and we\u2019re held to even higher standards than what the code of conduct requires,\u2019 it\u2019s because things aren\u2019t supposed<\/emphasize> to be fair for the United States. You have to understand that as far as the politically correct and the left are concerned, the United States is guilty by virtue of its existence. It takes too much of the world\u2019s resources, pollutes too much of the planet, and is single-handedly destroyed the planet with global warming. The United States has way too much wealth. The United States is unkind and unfair to the disadvantaged, and so, ‘These poor little Iranians, they only have one<\/emphasize> gasoline refinery. These people are backwards. They live in the Seventh Century, and most of them don\u2019t even have air-conditioning! They live in these mud huts or whatever it was that still survive from these Seventh and Eighth Centuries,\u2019 and so forth. ‘What do you expect? Here are these Brits, these 15 Brit soldiers, this omnivorous, all powerful, deadly-force-threatening Brit contingent of 15 threatens the sovereignty of this poor little nation Iran. Why, the Iranians have every right to defend and protect themselves.\u2019 When you start demanding ‘fairness\u2019 out there, understand this: it\u2019s not to be extended to Americans (particularly in this climate of conservative or Republican Americans). Because by virtue of our power and our majority status, we are guilty, and therefore any<\/emphasize> act against us is permitted. But any act of retaliation<\/emphasize> by us is ‘excessive,\u2019 unnecessary. That\u2019s why we have to close Club Gitmo. Why, these are just poor little nomads, what do we think we\u2019re doing acting like we run the planet, acting like we run the universe? Who in hell do we think we are!<\/emphasize> This kind of thing works. You have a politically correct society typified by the British society these days. They\u2019re not going to do anything. They may put some ships out there, but the UK does not have the navy it used to have. The British Empire is no more. I will say this. I don\u2019t think the mullahs of Iran would have done this had it been 15 Americans close to or in Iranian waters. I don\u2019t think they would have dared<\/emphasize> do this to the United States, but someone from the UK? They\u2019ll do it, because they know nobody\u2019s going to do anything about it, because everybody that wants to do (or would do) something about it? Their hands are tied. We\u2019re supposed to sit around and let our forces be captured like this, and we\u2019re supposed to sit around and let \u2019em be beheaded, and we\u2019re supposed to sit around and let \u2019em be paraded on television in violation of the Geneva Convention. We deserve<\/emphasize> this! We deserve to ‘find out what it\u2019s like\u2019 to feel like we have been making the rest of the world\u2019s poor and minorities feel all of our existence. That\u2019s the point of multiculturalism and the trashing of the original Founders and settlers of this country. It\u2019s part and parcel. So if you want to call a mass rally and demand fairness for the United States of America, understand this: You are going to be laughed at by liberals and Drive-By Media in this country throughout. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
