<\/a>RUSH: Well, our armies here on the move out there, ladies and gentlemen. Operation Chaos armies are preparing to deploy in less than 24 hours of the Pennsylvania primary, and it\u2019s fascinating out there to listen to the Drive-By Media attribute all the Republican registration. Now they\u2019re saying that most of it is due to Republicans loving Obama. Even Robert Novak is saying this. I\u2019m going to talk about this as the program unfolds today before your very eyes and ears. I\u2019ve been watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO<\/a> — and folks, that\u2019s a tearjerker, too. It\u2019s stunning in all kinds of ways. … The John Adams series on HBO is amazing because of its accuracy and because of its devotion to the truth of the founding of this country. It\u2019s a tearjerker if you watch this. You have to get to… All the episodes are great, but it really doesn\u2019t kick in and start hitting you in the heart in terms of patriotic reactions until the second episode, and maybe for some people the third. I\u2019m struck as I watch this, A, that it appears on HBO; that it somehow passed… I mean, HBO\u2019s not known for this kind of stuff. They\u2019re known for tawdry and over-the-line cultural depravity. Other than the movies they play, their original programming is known for depravity. That\u2019s what it is.<\/p>\n

So the fact that this thing somehow got cleared, to me, is reason for optimism. It\u2019s the same thing with the pope\u2019s visit, which concluded last night in New York. When I watched this, what strikes me… I got a note from a friend over the weekend who had been one of my 15 visitors last weekend and was very distressed just reading the newspaper every day, and was one of these people that asked me how I maintain my confidence and so forth. It got me to thinking about how many people — how many kids, how many young people — who would watch the John Adams series on HBO would care? I\u2019ve been thinking a lot, folks, about how to go after Obama. Now, Drudge has got some internal Hillary polling data that shows she\u2019s up by 11. This is Clinton internal polling, and they\u2019re all excited in the Clinton campaign. They think this is going to be a big, big win for momentum to carry her. She\u2019s moving on, I guess, to North Carolina. Indiana, tomorrow night, is where she\u2019s going to be. They seem pretty confident. Obama is not predicting a win in Pennsylvania, so maybe their internal polling is correct, but I\u2019ve been listening to — and pardon me for being scattershot here. I am going to tie all this together. Just stick with me. <\/p>\n

But I have been listening to all of the attempts that people are making to bring Obama down — and, by the way, these attempts are not so much to destroy him or harm him in the Democrat primary because it isn\u2019t going to happen. So we\u2019re looking at the general election in terms of Obama. This weekend, I ran into some Republicans who were for Obama. They know full-fledged he\u2019s a liberal. They don\u2019t care. They like his personality. So when you tell \u2019em about William Ayers, they don\u2019t care. When you tell \u2019em about Jeremiah Wright (and they know), they don\u2019t care, because to them that\u2019s the past, and Obama is not about the past. Obama is about the future! Obama is not even about now. Obama\u2019s about the future. So, how does this tie into the John Adams series? You take some average Americans who went to the public school system and graduated say in the last 20 years and make \u2019em watch that, how many of them would care? ‘Well, that\u2019s the past. It\u2019s the past.\u2019 My point is this: People who support Obama don\u2019t care about anything in the past, including American history and the founding, or they\u2019re not that much interested in it. They don\u2019t think it\u2019s relevant. And all of this, as I have been feverishly pondering over the weekend, ties into how Obama is to be attacked as a campaign opponent once the general election begins. It ain\u2019t going to happen…<\/p>\n

The guy is every bit as big a liar as Bill Clinton, and we know that didn\u2019t get us anywhere by pointing out to people that Bill Clinton lied. They didn\u2019t care. They liked Bill Clinton\u2019s personality, which frosted a whole bunch of us. We couldn\u2019t understand it, but they did. They like Obama\u2019s personality. Calling him a liar, calling him a liberal, those kind of things aren\u2019t going to work. Pointing out his liberalism? ‘It\u2019s in the past.\u2019 Obama is not about the past. The past doesn\u2019t matter to a whole lot of people, because they\u2019re so concerned about the future. The recent past that they know is one they don\u2019t like. Some Republicans, and especially the Democrat side — the Bush administration, the war in Iraq — they don\u2019t care. When you\u2019re talking about Democrats anyway, anything goes. It doesn\u2019t matter what the past was so bad as far as liberals are concerned that whatever it takes to erase it, is fine with them. So what\u2019s the only avenue open? I mean, we can shout Bill Ayers, William Ayers, has terrorist ties, all these things. We could find out everything Obama said at that secret meeting in 1995 when Ayers hosted a little party to inaugurate Obama\u2019s campaign for the state senate. None of it\u2019s going to matter.<\/p>\n

None of it\u2019s going to matter because the past doesn\u2019t matter. This is one of the things that just struck me over the weekend, when I was watching the John Adams series. I don\u2019t know what the click was in my amazingly fertile mind, but there it was, right there on television — and it was accurate, and it was inspiring, and it was every bit the tearjerker that much of last week was at the White House when the Battle Hymn of the Republic; the pope\u2019s message and his celebration of mass over the weekend that took place were genuine tearjerkers. Yet when people — this gets back to the note that my friend sent me. When young people especially don\u2019t care about the past, they only care about the future because the past is the past and Obama\u2019s not the past, he\u2019s the future. They don\u2019t know about John Adams. They don\u2019t know about the founding of the country. They may know it, but they don\u2019t know the intricate details. They don\u2019t know the fundamentals. Without these three acknowledgments, we wouldn\u2019t be here today as a country: Endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Without those three concepts being in our founding documents and enshrined as having come from our Creator, we wouldn\u2019t be here as a country. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how many people are taught that, anymore. I don\u2019t think very many at all. So, it\u2019s the past, and they don\u2019t care about it. And one of the reasons they don\u2019t care is because it hasn\u2019t been taught. So you\u2019ve got a massive education failure, while at the same time a massive education project, in order inspire concern and to have people be interested in the past because the past is where you learn. It\u2019s like Mitch Daniels. Mitch Daniels was in the Reagan administration. Mitch Daniels is the governor of Indiana. Snerdley, did you hear what Mitch Daniels said over the weekend? Mitch Daniels said it\u2019s time to let Ronald Reagan go. ‘He delivered his remarks to a room full of fellow red-staters at the Fund for American Studies\u2019 annual conference and donor retreat at the Newseum in Washington, DC. He said, ‘Nostalgia is fine and Reagan\u2019s economic plan was good, but we need to look towards the future rather than staying in the past.” Now, when\u2019s the last time you ever heard a liberal Democrat say it\u2019s time to let JFK go; it\u2019s time to let FDR go? They never will, and if any in their party would say it they\u2019d kick \u2019em out as fast as they kicked out Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman. They would run \u2019em out of the party. <\/p>\n

Now we\u2019ve got Mitch Daniels, who is a conservative guy, saying it\u2019s time to get over Reagan; time to let Reagan go. Asinine! It\u2019s stupid. The past particularly — the country\u2019s past or conservative movement\u2019s past — is fundamentally crucial to people to understand it. When people don\u2019t, then they will forget it because it was nothing worth remembering in the first place because nobody told \u2019em about it. So we have a very, very weak education system. The fundamentals that built this country and hold it together are no longer taught with reverence. If they are taught, they\u2019re probably taught with scorn more than reverence. So now we have a candidate on the Democrat side about whom people do not care, about his past. They are uninterested. We can shout the name Bill Ayers all we want. We can shout Jeremiah Wright all we want; we can play those sermons you\u2019ll we want. We can have McCain out there as he took a little jab over the weekend at Obama. We can have McCain out there saying that these relationships he has are very troubling, (doing McCain impression), ‘But I\u2019m not questioning his patriotism! Make sure you say that, Limbaugh. I\u2019m not questioning his patriotism!\u2019 Yeah, see, these relationships he has with the radicals are very troubling, but I\u2019m not questioning his patriotism. <\/p>\n

Of course not! So the only way, folks (sigh), the only way to sort of take away this aura of mystique and mysticism about the future surrounding Obama is going to be putting chinks in his personality like happened in the debate last Wednesday or Tuesday, whatever it was. It was Wednesday? The days run together. Now, it didn\u2019t particularly matter in that debate because the Drive-Bys are going to circle the wagons and go after the media for exposing Obama\u2019s weakness. When this guy\u2019s not got a teleprompter, when he doesn\u2019t have a speech written for him by Axelrod or somebody, he can\u2019t take a punch. He\u2019s got a glass jaw. He\u2019s got a sense of entitlement about him that says, ‘I do not and will not be criticized. I\u2019m too important!\u2019 The media people, Drive-Bys, that are going to shield him in that regard. He\u2019s so important, no criticism is worth it. It\u2019s not valid. It\u2019s all in the past. So whoever is going to be in charge of the campaign to defeat Obama is going to have to find a way to trip him up so that he exposes the fraud that is this mystic, messianic personality that he has. I say this for two reasons, just to sum it up. One: where Obama is concerned, the past is the past, and it\u2019s not reveled to him. <\/p>\n

He is the future! His supporter is not based on issues. It\u2019s not based on personality. Look, there are some Republicans who are enamored of Obama. They like him, and they know he\u2019s a full-fledged liberal. They know he\u2019s a socialist. They don\u2019t care! They don\u2019t care. It\u2019s something else that binds them. It\u2019s this mystic, it\u2019s this youth, it\u2019s this personality, it\u2019s this hope for change. All that stuff is working on them. I don\u2019t know how many, but it\u2019s certainly some. If there are a significant number of Republicans who want to vote Obama for president for those reasons, you\u2019re not going to turn them off to Obama by running around saying, ‘Well, do you know what he\u2019s going to do to your taxes? Do you know what he\u2019s going to do to your liberty?\u2019 They don\u2019t want to hear it. They have a different kind of attraction to the guy, even though he has not been on that message ever since Ohio and Texas. Since those primaries were over, he\u2019s been forced off that message. Who knows? There may be some problems for him in the primary right now. The superdelegates, a lot of them still aren\u2019t committing. They don\u2019t want to talk about it. Clinton\u2019s got this internal polling saying she\u2019s 11 points up. We\u2019ll have to see what happens. Operation Chaos goes into effect in less than 24 hours. Soldiers are ready to march to the battlefield. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Mark in Eureka, Illinois. We\u2019ll start with you today. It\u2019s nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Semper Fi hellos from Eureka. Hey, Rush, I agree with all your comments this morning, and the question I have for you —<\/p>\n

RUSH: They make a lot of sense, don\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, they make more than a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. That\u2019s true. Thank you for saying that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs) Here\u2019s what I\u2019m struggling with, Rush. You have said for many years — and I have always agreed with you, and I\u2019m not talking about your audience — that you have faith in the American people to make the right decision in the end.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But if you look what\u2019s going on now, Rush, I\u2019ll be honest. I\u2019m losing that faith. I\u2019m losing that faith. I mean if you dissect it, you got McCain, you got Hillary, you got Barack — and real quick, I\u2019ll bring it close to home. I live on the far western suburbs of Chicago, and we lost Denny Hastert\u2019s seat to a Democrat this year. That\u2019s like Chicago going Republican, and if you put all this together —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something, pal. My faith in the American people remains strong. Hastert lost that seat because the Republicans didn\u2019t do anything to defend it! The Republicans are not giving anybody a reason to vote for them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I agree with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The American people are not stupid. They\u2019re not cheap. They\u2019re not going to vote for Republicans… Especially conservative Republicans, the Republican Party is giving them no reason whatsoever. In fact, prominent conservatives are running around, ‘Forget that you\u2019re a conservative. Forget Reagan. We gotta let Reagan go. Reagan is the past.\u2019 My faith in the American people\u2019s intelligence, especially on our side, is buttressed. There\u2019s really no reason… You know, Hastert\u2019s seat is not owned by the Republicans. It\u2019s not automatic. Nothing in politics is. But I don\u2019t want to get too deep. I\u2019ve told you all that I was profoundly stirred in my soul last week with everything that happened — and I came to realize something, that my faith in the American people is actually a faith in this country, because I do believe it\u2019s been blessed by God, and that\u2019s the source of my optimism.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to a Politico story that we did in the first hour of the program today. They talk about the 178,000 people who have switched parties to vote in the Democrat presidential primary tomorrow in Pennsylvania, and of that 178,000, 92% — 92% of the 178,000 — are Republicans switching to vote Democrat. They are 7% of the electorate for Tuesday. The Drive-Bys and everybody is running around saying that 60% of the Republicans who have registered as Democrats, are going to vote for Obama. This is being done for two reasons. A, it\u2019s to build up Obama; and second, it\u2019s to diminish Operation Chaos. Now, this all got started in the first hour today after I had learned over the weekend, something that\u2019s been popping up with me for the past week or so. I\u2019m running into some Republicans who are conservatives — I wouldn\u2019t call them ideologues like I\u2019m an ideologue and like you might be — but they\u2019re attracted to Obama. They know he\u2019s a liberal, and they don\u2019t care. They\u2019re attracted to him because he is new and fresh, and there is this messianic quality about him. There\u2019s something magical, mystical. They think the country will have a marvelous new attitude and change if they elect Obama. <\/p>\n

What it boils down to is, even these Republicans voting for this guy, they\u2019ll listen to me when I tell them how radical he is, and they don\u2019t care. They still think he would be good for the country because it\u2019s personality. It really is no more complicated than that. He\u2019s young. He\u2019s vibrant. They think he speaks well, so it looks like he\u2019s got a great personality. I mentioned that going after all these people he hangs around with, Reverend Wright, Ayers, all these other people, it\u2019s not going to faze \u2019em. It\u2019s not going to faze most Obama voters, very few of them, because that\u2019s the past. It\u2019s in is past and it doesn\u2019t matter. Obama represents the future. Now, I think in truth that way out there in flyover country, where there aren\u2019t any more presidential primaries and where people aren\u2019t being polled as regularly, I think it\u2019s done Obama tremendous damage, but the people who… They are still some Republicans who think. They\u2019re so disgusted with their own party, I gotta include that, have to throw that in there as one of the reasons why they find Obama attractive. It\u2019s just new. It\u2019s different. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s change, and they don\u2019t care about the specifics. So the point is, if we\u2019re going to defeat Obama, all these associations that he has, it\u2019s not going to matter to people because it\u2019s in the past — especially Ayers and especially the preacher. ‘That\u2019s all in the past, Rush! It doesn\u2019t matter. I don\u2019t care.\u2019 I\u2019ve run the test, folks. Admittedly this is anecdotal, but I\u2019ve run the test and they don\u2019t care. Some of them say, ‘Well, just look at McCain. He loses his temper. He looks mad walking around all the time. Obama looks happy! He\u2019s smiling, he\u2019s soft-spoken.\u2019 It\u2019s amazing the impact a personality has from television on people in terms of whether they like them and would want to see them on TV multiple times a day as president. It pains me to admit that there\u2019s so many Americans or at least enough of them that are that shallow that on the basis of personality — which they think is character, which it isn\u2019t; but they think equals character — they think they\u2019re doing a good thing. But I would say to the Politico and the rest of the Drive-By Media: You think that 60% of these courageous volunteers, Operation Chaos, are going to vote for Obama, how come he has lost the popular vote in all these big states? <\/p>\n

He lost the popular vote in New Jersey, in New York, in California, Texas, Ohio. He lost the popular vote. He will probably lose the popular vote in Pennsylvania. He is losing support right now among white voters. So where is this great sea change in the country that Obama\u2019s going to bring about? Even Republican friends of mine who look at Obama and kind of go, ‘Oh!\u2019 like people used to look at Clinton. ‘Wow, charisma and all!\u2019 Where is this giant sea change? It\u2019s all a myth. Obama is a myth. Obama is just a man. Algore is a tree, Obama is a man, and there\u2019s nothing messianic about him. He has very little experience. He cannot take a punch. He is so arrogant and condescending, he doesn\u2019t think he should have to. He shouldn\u2019t be asked challenging questions! It\u2019s almost like the attitude the Clintons had when they rode into town in 1993. They were the saviors. We had the worst economy in the last 50 years. Don\u2019t ask us these questions. ‘Don\u2019t you understand who we are? You should be down on your knees and bowing to us as we ride into town!\u2019 Obama believes that about himself to a certain extent. So whenever he gets questions about his associations or his policies, he says, ‘Can we let this go? We\u2019ve been talking about this for six months now in this campaign. Can we get something new?\u2019<\/p>\n

Well, Mr. Obama, the reason why those questions were asked is because there\u2019s not a smidgen bit of difference between you and Hillary when it comes to policy, and so how are people going to determine the difference? We\u2019ve already learned that Democrats don\u2019t care that their candidate lies through his teeth or her teeth. We\u2019ve learned that. So we\u2019re trying to find out, do Democrats care who you run around with who your associates are, who your mentors are, who bent you shaped you and formed you? These things, if you\u2019re running on a personality campaign, if you\u2019re running as a messiah or an agent of sea change or hope, then you better put yourself front and center where people can see you\u2019re going to make it happen — and this is my point. Obama\u2019s not made it happen. He\u2019s not unifying anybody. If he was this great beacon of hope, for crying out loud, Hillary Clinton would have been put away six months ago! McCain wouldn\u2019t be leading in the polls. If Obama was what the Drive-Bys\u2019 image of him is — if Obama was what he thinks he is — he ought to be 60-40 ahead or higher in national polls against any Republican, and Mrs. Clinton should have been dispatched months ago. <\/p>\n

But he\u2019s not. He can\u2019t even put her away. He cannot drill the nail in the final nail in the coffin. Cannot do it. So where\u2019s the sea change? Where are all these people uniting around him? They aren\u2019t! It\u2019s a giant Drive-By Media and Obama joint myth. So you guys at Politico.com, let\u2019s just hold on to see what happens tomorrow with Operation Chaos and the primary in Pennsylvania. Because there\u2019s so much myth-making that\u2019s been going on here — and as usual with the left, it\u2019s based on image, marketing, packaging. It\u2019s not based on any truth here. But if he gets the nomination, two schools of thought: He\u2019s either already lost the general in the primaries because of these insults that he has made, and the Drive-Bys are just missing it because they need a visa, you know, to go to Iowa. You know, they need a visa to get into Missouri because to them it\u2019s a foreign country. They don\u2019t have any interest in that \u2019til we get to the general. They just look at national polls in terms of presidential preference. <\/p>\n

If he hasn\u2019t already lost it, McCain or whoever, whoever is going to run the Republican operation, you\u2019re not gonna beat Obama by calling him a liberal. People who support him don\u2019t care, even Republicans who know. You\u2019re not going to beat him by associating him with all these nut jobs in his past. You\u2019re not going to beat him by calling him a liar. You\u2019re not going to beat him on character. We tried all this stuff with Clinton, and it didn\u2019t work. It made him stronger. It created sympathy for him. Since this guy is a myth, and the myth is that he\u2019s messianic and makes people feel good and has a great personality and he\u2019s young, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to have to be shown to be false — and that\u2019s going to take tough questions. That\u2019s going to take constant, in a political realm: body blows, right hooks, left jabs. It\u2019s going to take a lot of stuff because Obama doesn\u2019t want that. He doesn\u2019t want to get hit. He\u2019s offended. He starts whining. <\/p>\n

But that\u2019s what needs to start happening. By the way, remember when Maureen Dowd first made jokes about his ears? He made a beeline to her in the audience, ‘I\u2019m very sensitive about my ears,\u2019 and she said, ‘We\u2019re just trying to toughen you up.\u2019 Well, it hasn\u2019t worked yet. They haven\u2019t toughened him up. They have protected him. This is all because we had a call here minutes ago about the associations Obama has, and this guy\u2019s theory was that Obama supporters think he\u2019s cool, and that some of his associations with these wackos, ‘Is kind of cool. It\u2019s kind of neat, Rush! I mean, he\u2019s flirting on the edge! The guy that his friends a terrorist who blew up the Pentagon, it\u2019s kind of cool! It\u2019s kind of cool that we got a guy that knows something like that, and won\u2019t disavow him. It\u2019s kind of cool he\u2019s got this nut job preacher. It\u2019s kind of cool that his wife hates the country. It\u2019s kind of cool that everybody around him is P\u2019d off. It\u2019s kind of cool.\u2019 That was his theory. It may be, for some people. But in the general that\u2019s going to come home to roost at some point. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Bill in Wilmington, Delaware. Bill, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Longtime listener, first-time caller. I had to call because at the beginning of your show you mentioned what a liar Obama is. Well, last night on CNN, I was shocked when he was asked a question, and during that answer, he lied about his mentorship with Jeremiah Wright. The way he did it was chilling. When in the middle of the question he said, ‘Oh, there\u2019s a story out there that Reverend Wright was my mentor,\u2019 and he shook his head and said, ‘No, he was my pastor,\u2019 and I was just taken back by that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, he\u2019s been doing this a lot. But the press calls these ‘misstatements,\u2019 things that need to be corrected. He\u2019s just tired. It\u2019s a grueling campaign out there, Bill. Everybody understands you can make misstatements and make missteps. In the last debate they had, he actually said that he had ‘disowned\u2019 Reverend Wright!<\/p>\n

CALLER: I heard that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But he hasn\u2019t disowned him. He made a race speech where he specifically said he couldn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t, and yet in the debate he said that he did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he also —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He isn\u2019t ever called on these things, but it isn\u2019t going to matter. You could tell an Obama supporter this stuff. You just tell the Obama supporter what you just told me, ‘Hey, he said Wright was just a pastor, never did mentor him.\u2019 The Obama supporter will say, ‘That\u2019s in the past! That doesn\u2019t interest me. I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m not voting for the pastor.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: The way he says it and the away you puts it together, too. It\u2019s like a Bill Clinton style for the lie but if we look at the first interview on the breaking story with Fox News with Major Garrett, he was very adamant that he was my uncle, he\u2019s like family, and he\u2019s been my mentor for 20 years — and last night, he disavowed that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. This all goes back to my explanation that he has an entitlement and an arrogance that he can basically say whatever he wants to say. We shouldn\u2019t challenge him on it because it\u2019s minutiae. It doesn\u2019t make any difference to health care and fixing the country and getting out of Iraq. Those things are so distracting. They\u2019re just distractions. It\u2019s the usual Washington politics. That\u2019s the way he explains away every time he gets caught in a fib or a big lie, and his supporters say, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah! I don\u2019t care about that. We\u2019ve gotta fix the economy. We\u2019ve gotta get gas prices down. We gotta find alternative fuels. We gotta get out of Iraq, and get my kids into college free. We gotta do a lot of things here. I don\u2019t care what these other things that Barack does.\u2019 That\u2019s his supporter base.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think it\u2019s very scary, Rush. Well, anyhow, thank you for taking my call, and I love your program.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Well, it\u2019s not that it\u2019s not scary. We\u2019ve run into these characters before. They\u2019re called politicians. You spell it p-o-l-i-t-i-c-i-a-n, and put an ‘S\u2019 on the end of it for plural. They are politicians. By definition they are. It\u2019s just like an NFL general manager in the month of April leading up to the NFL draft. They lie every time they open their mouths. It\u2019s part of the job. You have the draft coming up. You don\u2019t want the other teams to know what you\u2019re going to do draft-wise. Trades are going to be made, hope to be made. Politicians lie as a routine. There\u2019s nothing unique about Barack Obama in any way, shape, manner, or form, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
