RUSH: Pat Schroeder on Weekend Today on Saturday. Lester Holt interviewed her, and of course the subject was Imus, and Mr. Holt said, ‘Where has the outrage been all these years?\u2019<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: Well, the outrage it\u2019s been — I\u2019ll tell you what, we\u2019ve really been tempered. For many years there was — Rush Limbaugh used to called me a feminazi.<\/p>\n

HOLT: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: I never thought that was funny. I thought that was horrible but, you know, if you said anything about it, people said, ‘(Gasp!) Those women, they have no sense of humor. Get over it. Laugh it off.\u2019 You know, what — what\u2019s to laugh off about being called a Nazi? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, speaking of that, Ms. Schroeder, how many people on your side of the aisle called George W. Bush that every day? You\u2019ve got media figures out there doing the ‘zieg heil\u2019 salute on MSNBC. NBC doesn\u2019t find anything wrong with that. Yeah, go do the zieg heil salute every night as an attempt to lampoon right-wingers and so forth. I don\u2019t know. Did I ever name her a feminazi? I don\u2019t recall. When I came up with the term, there were 12 or 13 feminazis, and all these women out there thought I was talking about all of them. I don\u2019t remember if she was in the original list. She could well have been. I do remember laughing at her over a number of things, like when she fell for the line I gave in the speech at GOPAC. It was the \u201995 budget deal, and the Democrats are out there saying Republicans want people to starve, the kids to starve in school, and they\u2019re out there saying that it\u2019s getting so bad for senior citizens, they gotta choose now between dog food and medicine. Yeah, and I went out there and I said to GOPAC, ‘Well, I just want to greet all of you fellow budget cutters here at GOPAC. I\u2019m with you. I just want you to know I\u2019m sensitive to this, and I went out and bought my mom a brand-new can opener for the dog food she\u2019s going to eat.\u2019<\/p>\n

So Pat Schroeder… This is a classic, by the way, a classic illustration. Somebody told her what I said without the context, and of course they don\u2019t have any sense of humor on the left. Nowhere do they laugh or smile. None of them are happy about anything. They can\u2019t laugh. So she goes to the floor of the House of Representatives and tells this story as though I was dead serious about it. I guess the pi&egrave;ce de r&eacute;sistance was when she ran for, or thought about running for the Democratic presidential nomination at some point. It was the early nineties. What was it, \u201992? It had to be \u201992 because it wasn\u2019t \u201996, and it wasn\u2019t \u201988. No, wait! It might have been \u201988. It might have been \u201988. Yes, it could very well have been \u201988. Now, I had been following Pat Schroeder as a struggling and striving young talk show host of the future, and I never saw anything about her husband. She never talked about her husband. The media never talked about her husband. I knew it was ‘Mrs. Pat Schroeder,\u2019 but her husband was a non-factor. <\/p>\n

Then one day, she went to the base of the Rockies to announce that she was not going to seek the presidential nomination of her party after all, and there was this mystery guy standing next to her. I\u2019d never seen this guy before. When she announced that she was not going to seek the nomination, she started crying, and she said she concluded that she couldn\u2019t win, and then the tears came. ‘I just — I just can\u2019t win. (Crying.)\u2019 and then she fell into the arms of this guy and started crying on his shoulder, who I later learned was her husband Jim. Yeah, feminazis didn\u2019t do that. So I don\u2019t know that she was ever an original feminazi. That\u2019s the first time I\u2019d ever seen her husband. This might have been \u201984. Well, I remember talking about this in Sacramento, and I didn\u2019t leave there \u2019til 1988 in July. I don\u2019t remember when it was. It\u2019s really not relevant. It was in one of those spans. I do remember that the video was all over television, and the feminists were not happy because she had turned to the arms of a man at a time of suffering, distress and discomfort, and she was crying and so forth. This was setting the movement back — which, of course, just inspired me to play the video and the audio of it all the more. We have one more bite from Pat Schroeder, again with Lester Holt interviewing her on the Weekend Today Show on NBC Saturday. Holt says, ‘We keep having a conversation. Are we changing, though, as a culture?\u2019<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: Part of it — what we\u2019re seeing in Iraq, we\u2019re seeing in Iraq the Shi\u2019ites and the — and the Sunnis. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve!<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: — fighting tremendously —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Gotta!<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: — and we\u2019ve gotta realize that a diverse democracy —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Be!<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: — is a difficult thing to do —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kidding me!<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: — and we really can\u2019t allow people to stereotype and attack other folks on public airwaves and do things like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Holy!<\/p>\n

SCHROEDER: Because that\u2019s the kind of — of — you breed all sorts of hatred and things that way. It\u2019s just not a good thing to do, and so I think maybe we\u2019re having a pull-back from this meanness where we really thought meanness was cute and somehow it was masculine or something. I don\u2019t know. But let\u2019s hope there\u2019s a real pull-back on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did I hear this right? I know I heard that right because I followed it on the transcript. She\u2019s out there saying something that\u2019s 1200 years old, the Shi\u2019as and the Sunnis hating each other\u2019s guts, is because of Imus and because of the coarseness of the culture in this country. Public airwaves? What public airwaves are there in Iraq? We\u2019re seeing it in Iraq? (sigh) They\u2019re stupid! They\u2019re just plain stupid. She\u2019s wandering in vain here for any cogent thought. She was speaking without knowing where she was going, and I am sure when she finished this she thought that she\u2019d really hit the nail on the head, and had really been brilliant. All she\u2019s done here is illustrate her ignorance of the situation between the Shiites and the Sunnis. They\u2019ve hated each other long before we got over there. They\u2019ve hated each other for decades, centuries, for crying out loud, but now all of a sudden it\u2019s because the American public is coarsened by people on the public airwaves? I\u2019m telling you, folks, this is about getting rid of people on the public airwaves that liberals don\u2019t want to listen to and they don\u2019t want anybody else to hear as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
