RUSH: Mr. Snerdley tells me he\u2019s being bombarded with phone calls about the Don Imus and Rutgers situation, and I must admit that I\u2019m having e-mail inquiries about the same subject. … My inclination was at first, my instincts were, to avoid this whole circumstance, but it is apparent that I\u2019m not going to be able to. To me, this really isn\u2019t so much about Imus. Imus is who he is, and everybody has always known who he is. It\u2019s more about the people that have propped Imus up and have looked the other way over all these years over all these things, and it\u2019s about a lot of hypocrisy in the Drive-By Media. I don\u2019t know why people are so worried about what Imus said, because hardly anybody ever hears it, he has so small an audience these days. His show is a classic illustration of buzz creating the impression of a large audience when the large audience actually doesn\u2019t exist. His ratings have been declining for quite a while, which happens. But the guests that he has on this program, the Drive-By Media people, continue to hype it and make it appear larger and more influential than it actually is. <\/p>\n

So this kerfuffle has broadcast his comments about the Rutgers basketball team, the girls basketball team, far beyond what anybody in his audience knew about it until this all happened. It\u2019s a striking feature in my e-mail. ‘I never heard of this show. I didn\u2019t know what it was until all of this started happening.\u2019 So whatever was said has reached a whole lot more people than it would have had it been left alone, because Imus\u2019 show just doesn\u2019t reach that many people. He\u2019s tried to walk a fine line for a long time. He\u2019s tried to be cutting edge with his satire and jokes, and then he\u2019s tried to be mainstream with that NBC gaggle of reporters and Newsweek types and the authors, and just like Senator McCain, I\u2019m sure that Imus thought that liberal reporters and authors would give him cover in events like this, credibility and that sort of thing. But it apparently has not done that. <\/p>\n

I think we should be clear about some things here. The Today Show attacked Imus today, but NBC owns the network that runs his simulcast of the radio show. CBS owns his radio show. NBC runs his simulcast on their MSNBC cable network. Every NBC reporter for the network of any stature, has been on that show or wanted to be on that show, including Chris Matthews and others, and now they\u2019re acting like they don\u2019t know the guy! <\/p>\n

Al Roker is out there demanding he be fired, demanding he be canned. This has gone too far. The very network that propped this guy up and made him seem like the Second Coming is now acting like, ‘Oh, this is horrible. This is outrageous,\u2019 blah, blah, blah. ‘Why, we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re going to do about this.\u2019 They pretend to objectively report on this man as if they didn\u2019t know about him and his sidekicks all along. They\u2019ve known, for whatever number of years they\u2019ve been going on the show, what happens on this show. To them it was a great opportunity to sell a book that they had written, or to amplify some report that they had done. It was just more media exposure. The one thing that TV people can\u2019t get enough of is a camera or a microphone, and he offered it to them, and now all of a sudden, with a couple of exceptions, they\u2019re trying to report objectively here as though, ‘Why, we don\u2019t know this guy! Why, we\u2019re just reporting on this as it\u2019s happening.\u2019 I also find, in all this, that NBC and MSNBC get a complete pass, as do their reporters, as do Newsweek and TIME reporters. All the other reporters that go on the show are getting a free pass. You know, I\u2019ve always heard, ‘If you go on some show or you take action in support of somebody that\u2019s doing something, you are tacitly supporting it by virtue of not condemning it,\u2019 and so forth.<\/p>\n

Yet all these guests that have created the buzz about the show and made it seem much larger than it actually is and has been for quite a while, are acting as though they are independent from it and were not part of creating the atmosphere that allowed this kind of thing to continue to occur there. I mean, let\u2019s face it, folks. If it weren\u2019t for the Drive-By Media, the Imus show would have been off the air a long time ago. They made him who he is in his current incarnation. He has no ratings. He did the right things: he\u2019s out there backing Kerry for president; he\u2019s attacking the war effort in Iraq — and he\u2019s trying to buy some sort of allegiance with all this. He\u2019s out there throwing my name around as if that gives him cover, and that\u2019s gutless<\/emphasize>. He can\u2019t stand on his own two feet. He\u2019s acting like a little six-year-old in a sandbox: (whining), ‘It\u2019s not as bad as what someone else did, waaaaah!\u2019 But that\u2019s what it is. The media are so cowed. This is really the crux of this, to me. The media are so cowed, they won\u2019t say diddly about Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson\u2019s past racist, anti-Semitic comments. Meredith Vieira did on the Today Show today but she apologized to Jesse Jackson before bringing up his Hymietown remark. ‘I\u2019m sorry, Reverend Jackson, to bring this up…\u2019<\/p>\n

At least she brought it up. She apologized first. They\u2019re cowed! They\u2019re afraid to death of these guys. You know, Sharpton? You can talk about words, and you can utter words. Sharpton\u2019s actions with Tawana Brawley actually harmed some people\u2019s lives, and he\u2019s got a ministry. He has a radio show. The Democrat Party embraces both of these guys. Hillary kisses their rings. Nobody says diddly when this happens, talking about Sharpton and Jackson. Yet they all of a sudden now get to decide who\u2019s acceptable and who is not? Sharpton and Jackson get to decide who should be on the air and who should not be on the air? Sharpton has a radio show. They tell me that. I didn\u2019t know it. I knew he was going to get one. I never heard about his radio show \u2019til all this video from yesterday. Look what he\u2019s said. Look what Sharpton\u2019s said and done. He\u2019s got a radio show. <\/p>\n

The difference is minorities in this society, I don\u2019t care what minority they are, can get away with anything because they\u2019re disadvantaged and they\u2019ve been discriminated against, and they must be heard and they must lash out and they must strike back against the injustices that have been perpetrated against them. So the same rules do not apply to minorities. They\u2019re allowed to be racists. In fact it\u2019s impossible for them to be racists, I\u2019ve been told, because they don\u2019t have the power to implement whatever racism they might have. Well, you be the judge of that today, as to whether or not they have this kind of power. You know, nobody stopped Sharpton. Nobody objected when he was going to get a radio show, despite what he\u2019s done. Jackson had a radio show, too, TV. They all failed, but nobody tried to stop them. If we want to have a debate about race and speech, let\u2019s go ahead and have it but let\u2019s be honest and open. How can you discuss what Imus said, without discussing what some of his critics have said and done, and these critics have now been elevated to final arbiter status. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the phones. Mark in Ft. Lauderdale. You\u2019re first today on the Rush Limbaugh program. Nice to have you with us, sir. Mark in Ft. Lauderdale, are you there? (sigh)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Good afternoon, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good afternoon. Fine and dandy. Thanks for your call.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling regarding this Imus affair, and I want you to understand, I don\u2019t have any personal feelings about Imus one way or the other. I don\u2019t watch his show or listen to it, but what I\u2019ve been overcome with here is the fact that Al Sharpton, of all people on this planet, has been declared judge and jury in this affair. Al Sharpton is an individual who has catapulted himself to national prominence by using racism as a springboard, and I would hope that the people that listen to your show will Google the Tawana Brawley scandal of 1987.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, just a second here, Mark. I understand that. I don\u2019t know how long you\u2019ve been on hold, but these are comments that I made just a few moments ago, and let me talk about some of this, because this is the media. Everybody is, I think, focusing on the wrong thing here. The media are not being honest in their reporting. Of course Al Sharpton isn\u2019t clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, and of course Jesse Jackson isn\u2019t. But if you want to sit out there and worry about Sharpton being the arbiter, that happened because Imus went to his show. Sharpton\u2019s out there. The media has propped him up. The media has made him one of these arbiters, and I know it\u2019s confounding and it seems hypocritical, but I\u2019ve tried to explain this. I was once on TV with Al Sharpton on CNBC, and it was way, way back in the early nineties, and Ollie North was the guest host. It was Saturday night, and I had been to a Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation dinner over at Ellis Island. I was the featured speaker, and I had to hustle out of there to get over there to do this show. I did it as a favor to Ollie and Sharpton was the guest, he came in and he was convivial and nice and so forth. We sat down. <\/p>\n

I forget what the raging topic of the day was, but after he finished his opening riff, I looked at him and said, ‘I don\u2019t understand why you have any credibility left with people in your community,\u2019 and he looked at me just stunned, and he said, ‘What are you talking about?\u2019 I said, ‘The Tawana Brawley thing.\u2019 I mean, the whole thing was a scam. Look at the lives in that circumstance that were really affected. There were lives genuinely affected by that, and of course the Reverend Jackson has had his own forays into these kind of controversies, but what you have to understand, folks — and I will say this \u2019til I\u2019m blue in the face. I talked about this last year. It affects our foreign policy with the left and the media. You have to understand something about liberals, among other things. Everybody has tried to define liberals as succinctly and briefly as possible, but one of the things, and there are many, that you have to understand that guides liberals is the fact that they will not be seen as a person who discriminates. Discrimination is as bad a sin as there is. They look at minorities and they see minorities as helpless victims of a tyrannical majority. I\u2019m not even talking race here. This is the reason the Iranians get away with behaving the way they do. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the reason the left is soft on Al-Qaeda. ‘Ah, these are just small little bands of nomads, and the United States is this big, bad bear patrolling the world, trying to take their resources and take their oil and now conquer their countries and so forth. What do you expect these little people to do? The only way they can get noticed is to stand up and kill some of our people,\u2019 and that\u2019s why CNN will go out and actually show video of this happening, of Al-Qaeda snipers shooting Americans. They think it\u2019s about time we got the feeling of learning what it\u2019s like to be a minority, and it\u2019s time for our comeuppance. So, you are just going to have to understand that there are many different sets of rules. A majority is going to be governed far more by the anti-free speech tenets of political correctness than any minority group is. I don\u2019t care what the minority group happens to be, whether it be racial or sexual or gender or what have you. The minority, as far as the left is concerned, by definition has no power. They\u2019re just these tiny little voices trying to be heard. They are sympathetic figures. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are sympathetic figures. There\u2019s another factor in this, too, that you have to understand. The Democrat Party, this all goes down to politics, and you\u2019ve gotta put this in context with the Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party is an amalgam of constituencies. These are groups. You know who the Big Labor groups are. You\u2019ve got the teachers unions. You\u2019re going to have to throw the left-wing kook blogosphere in as one of the constituent groups. They\u2019re being pandered to a little these days. You have the African-American vote, the civil rights coalitions, the feminists. All of these different groups compromise the Democratic Party and they\u2019re constantly waging a battle for who gets a seat at the table of power at the Democrat Party, and the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton have been granted seats at that table of power, and the reason is, they deliver. On Election Day, they deliver. If they didn\u2019t, somebody would replace them as members of the civil rights coalition at that particular seat at the table of power. Ralph Neas is in this bunch. It\u2019s all these civil rights groups. So you\u2019re not going to have, and you shouldn\u2019t expect for the Drive-By Media and liberal Democrats to hold minorities — Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton — anywhere near the same standard they will hold a member of what they think is a majority. A majority, to liberals, is by definition tyrannical. Minorities, by definition, are victims — and, of course, victims are entitled. <\/p>\n

Prisoners in Abu Ghraib: victims. Prisoners at Guantanamo: victims. The evil majority is, once again, engaging in torture and outrageous behavior. The United States is always guilty. The majority is always guilty by virtue of their power in the liberal mind-set. So it is maddening to see that people like Al Sharpton, with his history, and Jesse Jackson with his, become the arbiters of who gets to say what, when, as far as liberals are concerned. Yeah, it\u2019s incredible, but that\u2019s a reality that you\u2019re going to have to face with the Drive-By Media. I\u2019ll tell you, I watched this press conference today from Rutgers, with that coach, and with the president of Rutgers and the athletic director and so forth, and then the students went up there, and I\u2019ll tell you, there were a couple of people who came out in Imus\u2019 defense earlier this week. One is Thomas Oliphant of the Boston Globe, and the other was Howard Fineman, and they both said, ‘Hey, we\u2019re part of the gang. We\u2019re part of the posse here. We\u2019ll hang together. We\u2019ll hang tough.\u2019 It\u2019s going to be real tough for them to do that after that because this press conference today that was held by the Rutgers female basketball team and their coach and all the university officials, that was a made-to-order press conference for liberals in the Drive-By Media to advance the whole notion that there is this tyrannical majority out there. It\u2019s going to be hard for liberals who have all this sympathy for minorities, to ignore this happened today and continue to pretend that, ‘Well, you know, this is making a bunch of…\u2019 because they\u2019re going to run the risk of being perceived –by everybody, not just us — as the total hypocrites that they are. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, folks, maybe an easier way to explain this is: what you are watching, what you are witnessing here is the twisted knots that liberals have tied this whole society in. You got a liberal perpetrator. You\u2019ve got a liberal judge and jury — and this is an uncomfortable position for them. They\u2019re being pulled and tugged in a whole bunch of different ways. Every time we talk about David Gregory, we could say, ‘Frequent Don Imus guest,\u2019 or, ‘Chris Matthews, frequent Don Imus guest.\u2019 Any number of people, too. ‘Joseph Biden, John McCain, John Kerry, frequent Don Imus guests,\u2019 and, of course, that\u2019s not a problem. But Cheney appears on this show? (sputtering) ‘It\u2019s outrageous! Why, how ridiculous is that?\u2019 I know you\u2019re angry about a whole bunch of stuff. I am, too. I have been for a long time, but part of assuaging some of the anger is just to understand some of the things that lead to what appear to all of us to be absolutely hypocritical and outrageous, such as Al Sharpton being the final arbiter of what some liberal is allowed to say in public. Folks, there\u2019s no sane explanation for it. That\u2019s why the answer is liberalism. There\u2019s no rational<\/emphasize> explanation for this. You have to understand liberalism if you\u2019re going to understand this. Paul in Philadelphia, I\u2019m glad you called, sir, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos from the city of brotherly love, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just want to make a quick point here. Imus says this and Al Sharpton comes out and calls him a racist, but if a black radio host were to say anything like this, it would be a nonstory. It would be normal language for a black person to use towards a woman. I mean, derogatory language is derogatory language, and why doesn\u2019t Al Sharpton say we need to stop all derogatory language?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is another point, and I checked the e-mail during the break and, you know, they write, ‘Rush, about the offensive words that were used here, has anybody turned on the latest top ten rap tunes? We all know what\u2019s in those lyrics.\u2019 (interruption) That\u2019s right. We all don\u2019t know what\u2019s in those lyrics, but look, I\u2019m telling you, Stanley Crouch at the New York Daily News had been writing for years about the debasement of black culture based on some of the lyrics in pop culture tunes. But, folks, it\u2019s not just the black culture. It\u2019s not just hip-hop and rap. Take a look at Hollywood. White people, too, are debasing their own culture with some of the rotgut that shows up on TV, some of the rotgut that shows up in Hollywood movies and so forth. Who\u2019s running all this? It\u2019s liberals! Liberals run Hollywood. Liberals run most of it. Liberals are in charge of the music industry. It\u2019s frustrating, but here again, you know, it\u2019s sort of like if you\u2019re talking to a friend, and you\u2019ve got some people in your family you\u2019re mad at, you could say whatever you want about your family. You can tar and feather them, but if your friend chimes in, ‘Yeah, yeah, you know your brother, ha-ha-ha,\u2019 you\u2019re not allowed. So, the members of the minority group itself are allowed to characterize each other however they want, but don\u2019t you agree if you\u2019re not a member of the group, because you\u2019re not entitled. You\u2019re not allowed, and that\u2019s also at play here.<\/p>\n
