RUSH: Let\u2019s dial it back to Friday, Fox News Channel, the All-Star Panel with Bret Baier, Special Report with Bret Baier. It\u2019s about Roy Moore. Bret Baier wanted to get — journalists do — a response from both sides whenever there\u2019s a controversial issue out there. And so Bret Baier and the Fox News Channel, Special Report with Bret Baier, the All-Star Panel, they went out and they got Pelosi as their Democrat. And they looked and they looked and they tried to find a Republican, and, apparently, they couldn\u2019t because they used me. A Democrat and Republican to talk about Roy Moore. For the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi. For the Republicans, it\u2019s me. And here\u2019s the bite.<\/p>\n

\"\"BAIER: This is the House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, and Rush Limbaugh today. Take a listen.<\/p>\n

PELOSI: In all of these cases it\u2019s horrible, it\u2019s disgusting, it\u2019s sexual harassment. But, in this case, the hypocrisy of it all, I mean, they all pretend to be this, that, and the other thing, but he publicly espouses himself the Ten Commandments. He should step aside. They should say that too.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The Democrats circle the wagons around their perverts, do everything they can to protect \u2019em, and the Republicans can\u2019t wait to throw \u2019em all overboard. The simple fact of the matter is the Republican Party wants this guy gone, but he\u2019s not gonna leave.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: They had to use me. By the way, I don\u2019t mind; don\u2019t misunderstand. I mean, there\u2019s how many Republicans on Capitol Hill, how many elected Republicans, but where\u2019d they go? They came right here, my friends, to the EIB Network<\/a>. But it\u2019s true, the Democrats do circle the wagons around their perverts.<\/p>\n

In fact, Mike, I need you to be ready standing by on audio sound bite number 6. David Brooks was on the Charlie Rose Show on PBS on Friday night and swerved into something that we have been pointing out here since the 1990s, since the Bill Clinton second term! It was not a focal point of the show, and Charlie Rose didn\u2019t even really react to this when David Brooks said it. David Brooks is the — ahem — conservative columnist at the New York Times and is the conservative half of the Shields-Brooks commentary team on The NewsHour that used to be with Jim Lehrer.<\/p>\n

And so what Brooks basically said was the tolerance of Bill Clinton and his sexual scandals made sexual harassment easier. Now, folks, I don\u2019t want to overdo this, but this is something we\u2019ve been pointing out on this program — and not just here — a lot of places. Remember, this happened in 1990, what was it, 6, whenever the Lewinsky thing was. It was right as Fox News was kicking up. Fox News was not even up at half speed yet. That\u2019s how far back ago this was. Fox News kicks off in 1996, the Lewinsky stuff happens about then. So basically it\u2019s some of the conservative websites and blogs. And of course this program and some other talk radio programs that had sprung up.<\/p>\n

\"\"And I remember every Democrat under the sun came around to defend Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton said (doing Clinton impression), “I did not have sex with that woman, not a single time ever, Ms. Lewinsky, whoever, I did not lie. I did not ask anybody else to lie. I gotta get back to work for the American people.” And everybody believed him. Madeleine Albright, representing Clinton\u2019s cabinet, walked out of the White House, everybody called this woman, this intern, 19-year-old, trailer trash, a liar. I mean, you know the drill.<\/p>\n

The Clinton war room and the bimbo eruptions team got going, and everybody in the media and everybody on the Democrat side circled the wagons — just what I said — around the pervert, and they did everything they could. The feminists gave it all up. The feminists totally cashed in every ounce of credibility they had to defend Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton did the same thing. And we warned what this was gonna lead to: the normalization of this kind of stuff, and particularly if it\u2019s practiced by Democrats.<\/p>\n

And the point that Brooks is making here and that we all made is that this Hollywood stuff, all of the sexual harassment that we\u2019re hearing about, I mean, some of it predates Clinton, but Clinton getting away — not just getting away with it, not only does Clinton get away with, he was promoted. They went out and they said, “It\u2019s nobody\u2019s business. It hasn\u2019t gotten in the way of him doing his work or his job. It\u2019s just sex. Everybody does it.”<\/p>\n

In grand jury testimony Clinton was caught committing perjury, lost his law license for a year. But that is secondary to the fact that everybody involved from the media, the Democrats all the way down did everything they could to defend this guy. And it also normalized the whole concept of a Lewinsky as not being sex.<\/p>\n

And so it spread through schools and everywhere, just the actual occurrence of the incident, the Lewinsky, and it became something known as “it\u2019s not even sex, and so it\u2019s not really a big deal.” ‘Cause if you\u2019re not gonna condemn it when it happens in the Oval Office, the president of the United States shtooping an intern, 19 years old, not his wife, when you\u2019re not going to condemn that, you send a message. When you are going to abort 1.3 million kids every year, you\u2019re sending a message, a cultural message. And so Brooks swerves into this with Charlie Rose.<\/p>\n

Here it is from the audio sound bite. Charlie Rose says, “You know, all these sexual harassment cases, it\u2019s a significant societal change for sure, David, don\u2019t you think?”<\/p>\n
