BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now back to the phones to Miami. This is Les. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, sir, hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, hello, sir. Good afternoon. I just have a question and a comment also. First of all, you do have a great show. I\u2019ve listened to you for a while now, but I\u2019m a little bit confused on where you really stand on this election, because now it sounds like you are supporting Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How can you say that when I just told the Democrats to go ahead and nominate Obama with the superdelegates?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s the part that I\u2019m confused about. You\u2019re saying all these things about Hillary, and yet you\u2019re saying —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m trying to make this very clear. I think over the number of days this — you know, normal times, Les, honestly, if I had a caller that didn\u2019t know what I\u2019m saying I would blame it on myself because I\u2019m a highly trained professional communicator, but I\u2019ve said this so many times, I gotta blame you for not getting it because Operation Chaos did not choose a candidate, it chose chaos. We exceeded all expectations.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Okay. But now the other part of the question and comment, I would say is, isn\u2019t it more important to really find the right candidate for this, versus creating chaos?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not up to me to find the right candidate, it\u2019s the Democrats, and they\u2019re engaged in disenfranchisement of voters to do it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But why spend so much time talking about them? Why don\u2019t we start talking about McCain and helping him out?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there\u2019s time for that. It\u2019s only May here, and the convention hasn\u2019t even happened. And nobody\u2019s going to be paying attention to that stuff \u2019til the general election starts after Labor Day. That\u2019s premature. The Democrat Party right now is in a state of utter chaos, and they are preparing to deny two states their delegation at the convention. This is serious. They\u2019re trying to stack the deck and get Obama nominated. That\u2019s why we\u2019re talking about them today. They are the news today. McCain\u2019s not the news. He\u2019s been trying to make the news, but he can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But fear not. You know, this is the thing. As your commander, as your host, we\u2019re on top of things, we know exactly what\u2019s going — (interruption) Yes, Mr. Snerdley, what is it? Hm-hm. Hm-hm. Oh, is that right? Mr. Snerdley, the official screener of calls, as well as being the official program observer, has told me that Les punked out. Les told you that he wanted to accuse me of being unpatriotic? For what? Operation Chaos has gone too far, it\u2019s not patriotic. Oh. Well, too bad. I have dealt with that throughout the business broadcast today. There is nothing more patriotic than Operation Chaos, encouraging people to vote. The days of making excuses for this, I\u2019m not going to be put on the defensive by this anymore. This is too great a resounding success. I\u2019m going to tell you people something else out there on the Democrat side: There\u2019s no end to this. There is no end. <\/p>\n

Robert, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing pretty good. Yes, I\u2019m an independent and I\u2019m voting Democrat this year, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Then you\u2019re a Democrat.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no, I\u2019m an independent because I also vote Republican when I like the Republicans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, it\u2019s kind of confusing being an independent —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I admit you got problems this year on the Republican side. I do understand.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, yeah, you hear me. But I do like this whole Operation Chaos that you\u2019re doing. First of all, it\u2019s allowing, at least me, the opportunity to really shake down these two Democratic candidates and see which one is the best candidate —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Do you realize it\u2019s not about that?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: I know what it\u2019s totally about. It\u2019s about creating so much chaos —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: No.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: — for the Democrats —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: No, I\u2019m not talking about Operation Chaos. The Democrat primary is not about finding the best candidate.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: I know what it\u2019s about. You just want to stretch the Democrat —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: No, no, no. I\u2019m not talking about Operation Chaos. You said that you like Operation Chaos —<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Yes.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: — because it is allowing voters to shake down these two Democrat candidates to see which one\u2019s the best candidate.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Exactly.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: But that\u2019s not what the purpose of the Democrat primaries is about.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: I know, but that\u2019s how it\u2019s useful for me. I know what your intentions are —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: What do you think about the fact that the — and you\u2019re an independent —<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Yes.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: — that the Democrat Party is preparing to rig this game for Obama by denying two states\u2019 delegations to be seated at the convention? States that would probably vote for Hillary.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: They deserve it. They freaking screwed it up. That\u2019s another thing I wanted to thank you on. I think that your Operation Chaos hopefully will change how Democrats elect their candidates. They should do it more how the Republicans do it, winner-take-all.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Uh-huh.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: All this stupid primaries and this caucus, this stuff, this stuff is ridiculous. So that\u2019s one thing. This election is going to be — <\/line> <\/line> RUSH: It will never change. It will never change.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: They have to change it.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: No, no. And it won\u2019t change. You know why it won\u2019t change?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Why? <\/line> <\/line> RUSH: This campaign is a perfect illustration of it. The Democrat Party does not trust any voter: theirs, Republican voters, they don\u2019t trust \u2019em. The superdelegates exist precisely to control the outcome of this so that the party hacks get what they want regardless what the Democrat primary voters end up doing by virtue of their votes. They\u2019re not going to get rid of this kind of power.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: No, but the superdelegates, they\u2019re politicians, and they\u2019re going to vote for who they think is gonna be elected because they want favors. They\u2019re not going to vote for somebody who\u2019s not gonna make it \u2019cause the party that does get into office is gonna screw them.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Under normal circumstances, you\u2019d be right. But this case, they know, they can look at where Obama\u2019s votes are coming from, and they can see he\u2019s not going to get enough of a broad-based coalition to win in November. I\u2019m going to tell you something, what\u2019s got the Democrats spooked every bit as much as the Republicans is race, Robert. That is what is going to lead them to choose the wrong candidate. Let me share with you a piece here by Cokie and Steve Roberts, a happily married couple. Cokie Roberts, formerly of ABC, still does some commentary there, Steve Roberts used to be with US News. They have a syndicated column, and I got this off Jewish World Review. It\u2019s entitled: ‘Why the Democrats Can Lose.\u2019 And, by the way, Cokie Roberts is one of the many women who is just livid that the Democrat Party is going to choose a rookie over this woman who has given this party everything all of her life. Just so you have that in mind as you listen to this. <\/line> <\/line> ‘Democrats seem intent on nominating Barack Obama, in the face of mounting evidence that Hillary Clinton would be the stronger candidate against John McCain in November. … But the real culprit is the party\u2019s stupid, self-destructive nominating system, which has two major flaws. First, it was designed to anoint a nominee by early February, far too early in the process. The result: Obama built up an insurmountable lead at a time when he was still largely unblemished, untested and unscrutinized.\u2019 Then they talk about the past six weeks, the Reverend Jerry Wright. ‘Second, the nominating system was completely incapable of reflecting these shifts,\u2019 the demographic shifts that have occurred in the last six weeks. ‘Not only were few states remaining on the calendar, the rules of proportional representation made it almost impossible for Clinton to catch up. … Wait, it gets worse. Obama built up sizable margins in small states that Clinton was foolish enough to concede. … How can it make sense for Idaho, Kansas and Louisiana to have a bigger impact on choosing the Democratic nominee than Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio? Add in the exclusion of Florida and Michigan, two crucial states that favor Clinton, there\u2019s only one word for the Democrats\u2019 system : crazy. And Republicans are gleeful.\u2019<\/line> <\/line> And so you see, it is not just I, El Rushbo, ladies and gentlemen, who\u2019s pointing out that this is the biggest disenfranchisement of votes since the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The Democrat Party is denying these two states. And so Cokie Roberts and Steve Roberts asked this question: ‘So why don\u2019t Democratic leaders and superdelegates face these facts and shift to Clinton? One reason is race. It\u2019s true, as Obama says, that being black in America has hardly been a political asset, given the fact that he\u2019s the only African-American in the US Senate. But at this time, in this party, being black is an enormous asset. Given America\u2019s long, torturous path toward racial justice, many Democrats simply cannot imagine denying the nomination to the first serious African-American candidate for president. From a moral perspective, that\u2019s a noble judgment. From a political perspective, it could cost Democrats the White House.\u2019<\/line> <\/line> Amen! She and her husband here are exactly right. They are not, Robert, nominating the candidate who could best win. They are nominating somebody out of guilt. They are nominating somebody because of skin color. They are going to nominate somebody because they can\u2019t imagine denying the nomination to him because he\u2019s the first serious African-American candidate for president, and they know that their party has been in existence to promote just this kind of result. They\u2019re making this choice for the wrong reason, Robert. You gotta trust me on this. Even Democrats know it, the superdelegates know it. It\u2019s like I said, go ahead, you guys, today I released the superdelegates to vote for Obama, go ahead and choose him. You want to lose, you go right ahead, and just keep in mind, I hate to keep beating a dead horse here, but this is crucial to understand what this party is, as we head down the road to the general election. The only way the superdelegates and the party hacks in the Democrat Party think that Obama can win this cleanly is by making sure enough votes in key places do not count.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
