RUSH: Here\u2019s Larry in of all places, Bexar County, Texas. We were just talking about this last week or earlier this week<\/a>. How are you doing, Larry?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thanks Rush. Mega, mega el mucho dittos here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know you get emotionally spent talking about the media daily, and I thank you for it, and I hope you get to hit some balls this weekend. But I caught an old transcript on your dad\u2019s remarks to your friends who were hanging out at your house and they loved to listen to his stories and political savvy. And he talked about journalist Sander Vanocur, who was a progressive. I\u2019m paraphrasing, your dad posed the question to friends: Don\u2019t they know anything about the history regarding propagandists and their fate with totalitarian regimes? They\u2019re one of the first in the new society to be taken out, useful idiots, along with intellectual doctors, teachers, actors, etc. I thought that was interesting. I thought it was some interesting that every generation needs to know. Could you elaborate on this to us all?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure, I\u2019d be happy to.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Be careful what you wish for type of thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Sander Vanocur<\/p><\/div>\n

RUSH: What my dad, what old Lar here is talking about is that over the years I\u2019ve described my dad as passionate, opinionated and fearless. And in junior high — even high school — there were many Friday nights that my friends said, “Let\u2019s go to your place and get your dad riled up instead of going out and trying to find a keg of beer or going to the teen town dance hall,” or whatever it was. And so they\u2019d come over and somebody would come up with some comment about anything in the news. And he was off and running.<\/p>\n

He would sit there and pound the table he was sitting at: “You boys are going to be slaves if this media isn\u2019t stopped. You boys are going to be slaves.” He firmly believed that the worldwide left was attempting to undermine America. The Sander Vanocur story, I forget the specific event. My dad did not like Sander Vanocur at all. I\u2019m sure it was related to Nixon. Sander Vanocur worked at NBC News and ABC and he was a smug and smarmy, just typical arrogant know-it-all, talked down to everybody about everything.<\/p>\n

And my dad, watching Sander Vanocur report something one time, said, “You know, this guy, he loves the communists. He loves the Soviets. And what he doesn\u2019t get is, if they ever do take over this country, it\u2019s people like him that are going to be taken away first.” Meaning the journalists. Meaning the people that have access to free speech. They\u2019re going to be the first ones strong marched to the gulag. The last thing communist leaders want is anybody having anything to do with the press, if it\u2019s not sate controlled.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s what Larry is referring to, that these journalists, who have all this admiration for left-wing dictators, don\u2019t have the slightest idea. They don\u2019t realize that, if they ever had the great good fortune to live under a dictator, they would be the first ones marched away to prison. That was one of his points. It\u2019s amazing to me what people remember as they listen to the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
