RUSH: Carl in Charleston, South Carolina, it\u2019s great to have you here, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Greetings from the low country of South Carolina, Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I was wondering if you could pass along some of your wisdom. I recently watched the HBO production of the film they aired called Recount.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I saw that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That was an interesting piece, but in light of the Democrats\u2019 desire to regain control of the White House and the Republican hope that we will keep the White House, I was wondering if you might be able to share with your listeners if you think we may see another run in the courts for the White House?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think we should. I think Mrs. Clinton should go to the courts.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have been advocating this as part of Operation Chaos. You know, I watched this movie, this Recount movie, and it was told from the Democrat perspective (as they admitted that it was), but it was a documentary, and it was just fraught full of holes. There were facts left out. There was dialogue made up (things that people never said that they were quoted as saying), but, unless you knew all the details, you might not be able to figure this out. This thing got it so wrong. The premise is wrong in the first place because the media — the USA Today bunch, CNN, and the New York Times — all went down to Florida after all of this aftermath was over. They looked at all the evidence, they counted votes every which way you can think of, and in no count did Algore ever lead in Florida! He would not have won Florida with a statewide recount, with a full recount in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward Counties, Volusia County.<\/p>\n

They could not find a way that Gore won, and yet HBO does this piece last night. They also left out something else crucial. The United States Supreme Court had to shut down the Florida Supreme Court twice. In the movie last night, they only had to shut it down one time. But after the first United States Supreme Court ruling, the chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court, Charles Wells said, ‘I\u2019ve got a piece of paper from the Supreme Court, and they\u2019ve told us to stop this,\u2019 and Barbara Pariente, who is I think now the chief justice, basically said, ‘To hell with it,\u2019 and so the Supreme Court had to shut \u2019em down again. So they only portrayed the Supreme Court shutting \u2019em down once. You had a rogue court. You had a runaway Florida Supreme Court rewriting election law after the election had been certified, which meant that no matter what happened in all this, the Florida House of Representatives had certified Bush as the winner of the 25 electoral votes, and it was the US Congress that was going to solve this and Dick Cheney was going to be there to break the tie vote. There was no way Gore was ever going to win this. This is why it\u2019s been so amazing to watch the left since 2000 think they got cheated out of an election. I\u2019m sure they still think they did, but they are not grounded in reality. <\/p>\n

Now, the question from Carl in South Carolina: Could something like this happen again? I have told Mrs. Clinton: Sue! Algore started this whole thing, he litigated the 2000 results, they are not going to count all the votes from Florida and Michigan as it stands now. They\u2019re going to disenfranchise voters from two large states, with lots of minorities. That\u2019s the only way Obama can win. Now, if the Democrats are not careful here, especially if they\u2019re going to keep running these stupid movies like Recount where the whole theme of that movie last night was, ‘Count every vote,\u2019 and the Republicans were standing in the way of being bullies and did not want every vote recounted. In fact, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount when the Gore people had never even asked for it. That\u2019s how absurd it got. <\/p>\n

But the point is this: Ever since Florida 2000, the Democrat Party has run around with a theme that Republicans obstruct the vote, that they do not count all the votes or that they do whatever they can to screw Democrat votes into not counting, tamper with the machines and all that. Now here the Democrats find themselves in this cacophonous and crazy, chaotic nomination scene in which the Democrat Party — in order to secure this nomination for Obama and to end the chaos — is not going to count the votes from Florida and Michigan. So if the Democrat Party chooses its nominee on the basis of ‘every vote will not count,\u2019 then they are forever, with any intellectual credibility, canceling one of their big talking points, which is: Count every vote, but it\u2019s the Republicans who stand in the way. Example: Florida aftermath 2000. They\u2019ve got huge problems. This Saturday is the meeting of the rules and bylaws committee, which is where they\u2019re going to figure out what to do with the Florida and Michigan delegates, and Howard Dean\u2019s the guy responsible for figuring this out. This isn\u2019t over, folks. It\u2019s not over. Chaos is not over. They\u2019ve got a lot to think about here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think it\u2019s the Huffington Post. Some woman writing about this Recount show last night on HBO — it\u2019s a movie, a documentary, it was fictionalized in a lot of places — said, ‘After watching this I\u2019m just as glad Gore didn\u2019t win because that movie shows the Republican bullies would have destroyed his administration anyway.\u2019 It\u2019s a movie! Like they thought The West Wing was their real administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
