I heard about it for two weeks. I didn\u2019t talk about it. I didn\u2019t repeat it. I didn\u2019t reference it, and then all of a sudden I see that some in the Drive-By Media think that Hannity has the tape and that he is holding the tape. Then some other people said the RNC had the tape and they\u2019re going to hold the tape \u2019til October, they were not going to release it prior to the Democrat nomination fight finishing \u2019cause they didn\u2019t want to get rid of Obama because they think he\u2019s the weakest candidate of the two, since Hillary was on her way out, let\u2019s leave her out. And then after two or three weeks of this, I did mention it as a rumor going around \u2019cause it had reached critical mass and there were people saying that they had seen it, but they wouldn\u2019t produce it. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_579144e802be1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" class=\"alignright\"\/>So it had finally risen to a heat level, if you were, that it warranted mentioning on this, the most listened to radio talk show in America. Now the AP, starting last night, has put out a story that I, essentially, am behind all this. Here, &#8216;The rumor that Michelle railed against,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, &#8216;was circulated on conservative Republican blogs for weeks and was repeated by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.\u2019 Well, once they put my name in the story, nobody else in the story matters. Listen to this. This morning on Channel 5, KTLA, the CW network in Los Angeles, the anchor Frank Buckley reading his teleprompter.<\/p>\n<p>BUCKLEY: The Obama campaign is fighting back against rumors and smears with a website, fightthesmears.com. It\u2019s using the site to debunk a rumor that the candidate\u2019s wife, Michelle, used the word &#8216;whitey\u2019 in a speech from the church pulpit. The rumor that Michelle Obama used the word in a diatribe at Trinity United Church of Christ has circulated on Republican blogs for weeks. It was repeated by talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The rumor included claims that there was a videotape of the speech. The campaign says no such tape exists.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How old is this story? Obama denied this ten days ago or sometime last week. Obama denied this last week. All of a sudden I started noticing this last night on my RSS feeder. There must have been 35 newspapers last night which had the same AP story in it, so I got all 35 newspaper versions and some TV stations like this. I was last in line on this one. I was a nonfactor on this. But, what happens is, this is as far as the Drive-Bys are concerned, folks, and this is an example of the power of this program. When the Drive-Bys are looking at Republicans or conservatives to really nail us to the wall, until I mention it, it doesn\u2019t matter. &#8216;Til I bring it up, it doesn\u2019t exist. Well, I mean what the hell, I was last in line. Hannity was denying on the radio for days that he had the tape. Let\u2019s go back. This is me on May 30th, and this is what I said about this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: There are these rumors circulating &#8212; and I don\u2019t know if this is true, but there are a number of people suggesting &#8212; and I first heard this, by the way, when I was gone Monday and Tuesday of last week.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, stop the tape, stop the tape. That would have May 14th and 15th or whatever when I was out there playing Torrey Pines, so the middle of May. That\u2019s when I first heard this. What is it now? June the 12th. So this is about a month ago that I said this, and all of a sudden now this becomes front-page news, thanks to the AP and the Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: And that the Republican Party supposedly has it now, of Michelle Obama speaking from the pulpit of this church talking about whitey. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s unacceptable, Snerdley, I mean I\u2019m just reporting what\u2019s out there. I\u2019m reporting on a rumor that is out there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. According to the Drive-Bys, I started the rumor. I gave the rumor credibility by mentioning it myself. Last night on MSNBC, DNCTV, here\u2019s Dan Abrams talking about it, also with the social commentator Nancy Giles.<\/p>\n<p>ABRAMS: We\u2019re learning more tonight about the GOP strategy to hit Senator Obama close to home. The Los Angeles Times reports today, conservative voices are energetically taking on Michelle Obama. Let me read you this. Rush Limbaugh: She\u2019s a lovely and angry wife.<\/p>\n<p>GILES: Oh, come on.<\/p>\n<p>ABRAMS: Michelle Malkin: Obama\u2019s bitter half. National Review: America\u2019s unhappiest millionaire.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And then, of course, Dick Durbin &#8212; yeah, play Durbin, number four. Listen to what Durbin said.<\/p>\n<p>DURBIN: The hottest ring in hell is reserved for those in politics who attack their opponents\u2019 families. And if there are some Republican strategists who think that\u2019s the way to win the election, I think they\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The hottest ring in hell is reserved for people like you who attempt to criminalize members of the United States military trying to save your butt from foreign attack. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, so we have learned here that the Democrats and the Obama campaign have decided to go back into two-week-old history, start a website designed to protect Michelle (My Belle) Obama from any, shall we say, criticism out there. Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on. The Drive-Bys are gearing up and laying the groundwork to protect Michelle (My Belle) Obama, and they are putting in the record that I am the one leading the attack on it. That\u2019s what this AP story is about. AP is a news monopoly, and all the TV stations and all the newspapers get AP. That\u2019s why this story\u2019s in thousands of newspapers today. And, of course, my name is in there in the first paragraph or so. I mean, I look at this as an honor, of course, \u2019cause they think I\u2019m the devil. I\u2019ve got two horns coming out of my head and they think if they put my name in the story where Ms. Obama is being criticized, all of a sudden that\u2019s gonna rally the troops. It\u2019s to get it in the Nexis database. So this is one of these things that\u2019s going to live for five years, that I attacked Michelle (My Belle) Obama. Now, month after month, Nancy Reagan was smeared by the media. Month after month, Pat Nixon was smeared by the media. Fred Thompson\u2019s wife, Jeri, was smeared by the media starting with the New York Times. And of course what did they call her? A trophy wife. <\/p>\n<p>Now, who do these libs think they\u2019re trying to intimidate here? Who do they think they are dealing with? If they\u2019re going to have a website here called &#8216;fight the smears\u2019 or whatever. Well, I\u2019m thinking I might put up my own website, &#8216;fight the Obama smears\u2019 website, the &#8216;fight the Drive-By Media smears\u2019 website. Now, why wouldn\u2019t people comment on Michelle Obama? She is subject to scrutiny to the extent, folks, that she does subject herself to scrutiny by making public statements that are provocative, and intentionally so. She\u2019s on the campaign trail, and she\u2019s out there telling poor women to stay poor. She\u2019s telling women, don\u2019t go into corporate America. She\u2019s telling women to stay in service work and stay poor and do all of these other things. She\u2019s inserting herself policy-wise into the campaign. It seems to me, like Hillary Clinton was, that she\u2019s fair game. Why wouldn\u2019t people comment on these things that she says? The media cover things that she says. Why do the media cover her remarks if she and her remarks don\u2019t matter, or if she and they are of no importance to the campaign, then why is what Michelle Obama says covered? <\/p>\n<p>So what we have here is just a continuation of the same old thing: You can\u2019t criticize this, you can\u2019t say that, you can\u2019t say that, you can\u2019t say that, you can\u2019t criticize a liberal, can\u2019t talk about his wife, can\u2019t talk about his girlfriend, Scarlett Johansson. Well, I don\u2019t know girlfriend. He\u2019s got an e-mail relationship with Scarlett Johansson. You can\u2019t talk about Jeremiah Wright, can\u2019t talk about Bill Ayers, can\u2019t talk about his grandmother, can\u2019t talk about his race, can\u2019t talk about his father, can\u2019t talk about his half race, can\u2019t mention the middle name. And now we can\u2019t talk about Michelle (My Belle). Listen to Dick Durbin again. This is yesterday on DNCTV. Norah O\u2019Donnell said, &#8216;Can I ask you about what Maureen Dowd wrote in today\u2019s New York Times about the Republicans targeting Michelle? She said, &#8216;It\u2019s good news for Obama that Hillary\u2019s out of the race but it\u2019s also bad news. Now Republicans can turn their full attention to demonizing Michelle Obama. Ms. Obama is the new unwilling contestant in round two of the sulfurous national game of &#8216;kill the witch,&#8221; that\u2019s what Maureen Dowd wrote. What\u2019s your reaction to that, Senator Turban?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignright\"\/>DURBIN: The hottest ring in hell is reserved for those in politics who attack their opponents\u2019 families. And if there are some Republican strategists who think that\u2019s the way to win the election, I think they\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, note in Senator Turban\u2019s world for whom the hottest ring in hell is reserved for. It\u2019s not reserved for Adolf Hitler. The hottest ring in hell is not reserved for Bin Laden nor other terrorists who have killed thousands of Americans. The hottest ring in hell is not reserved for child molesters and murderers and so forth. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The hottest ring in hell is reserved for people who would dare attack a politician. The hottest ring in hell is reserved for anyone who would attack a politician\u2019s wife. Dick Durbin: hubris, arrogance, conceit, and stupidity. This is who we\u2019re dealing with, my friends. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Get this. I just got an e-mail, just as the bumper music started. &#8216;Just this second, Rush, Jay Carney and Andrea Mitchell are anguishing over you spending half an hour today denying that you started the whitey rumor. Carney basically said your riff was a pretext for you to continue perpetrating it. Of course, no mention of the fact that Carney and Mitchell were themselves continuing to talk about the whitey rumor. Unreal!\u2019 It is unreal. I should not be surprised. They are going to try to tag me with starting this rumor. And they\u2019re going to tag me with continuing to talk about it and denying that I started it as a means of perpetuating that she said it. I\u2019ve always said it\u2019s nothing more than a rumor but I\u2019ve never seen any evidence of it. Now, here\u2019s the thing about this. Does anybody remember Bob Beckel? Bob Beckel, this was Tuesday of I think Montana and South Dakota. And Bob Beckel was on the Fox News Channel somewhere, and he brought this thing up, and he said he was really worried. He didn\u2019t want to say what it was, but that he thought it was real and that it was devastating. It had him really, really worried. I\u2019m not sure exactly when he said it, but it was our old buddy Bob Beckel that really is the guy that gave this credence by saying it worried the hell out of him. Of all the things, I\u2019m doing Show Prep feverishly last night and this morning, and I saw this story. Of all the things that I thought would end up being the focus of the Drive-By Media today, it certainly wasn\u2019t this. It\u2019s such a nonstory, but this is how they work. They\u2019ve gotta get my name associated with this. They think they can hurt me. They think they can protect Michelle with this, Michelle (My Belle) Obama. When are they going to learn? They didn\u2019t make me; they can\u2019t destroy me. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Jay Carney, this afternoon, PMSNBC live talking about the rumor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.48387.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CARNEY: This rumor started circulating among conservative bloggers and then was picked up and just repeated as a rumor by Rush Limbaugh, of course, the widely listened to conservative talk radio host. Now over &#8212; driving over to the studio just half an hour ago I heard Rush Limbaugh\u2019s show and he\u2019s talking about this nonstop, talking about how it\u2019s &#8212; you know, he\u2019s not to blame, he was &#8212; he was just reporting a rumor. He spent half an hour at least when I was listening to him re-circulating the very rumor without shooting it down.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) So this is how news is manufactured. This is how templates are set. This is how action lines are set. The action line now is that I have decided to resurrect this rumor, which has &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; which has been destroyed. There is no tape. Obama said there\u2019s no tape. There\u2019s never been a tape produced, but I, Rush Limbaugh, decided to resurrect it and not shoot it down. Now, why am I mentioning it? Because I somehow am in the story here as Boris Badenov, the evil spy. Now, here\u2019s Beckel on June the 3rd, Fox News Channel Fox &amp;amp; Friends, Alisyn Camerota was talking to Beckel, and he talked about this rumor. Now, some people think that Beckel was just trying to bait a bunch of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts by purposely acting frightened that the thing had some legitimacy to it, the theory being that he knew that it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: I always hear rumors. I hear thousands of them in the course of a presidential campaign, but this one I have heard from enough sources, it worries me. I won\u2019t give any details of what it is except to say that there is some thought that there might be a very big shoe dropping on Michelle Obama tomorrow &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>CAMEROTA: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: &#8212; and that &#8212; yeah. I can\u2019t tell you what it is \u2019cause I don\u2019t want to perpetuate the rumors. But I will tell you this, it is &#8212; whoever is promoting this thing is doing it in enough ways, in a very smart way that it gets to me in ways that make me get worried about it.<\/p>\n<p>CAMEROTA: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: Normally I don\u2019t worry about these things.<\/p>\n<p>CAMEROTA: But it\u2019s your understanding that this is bigger than, say, a college thesis paper? <\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: Significantly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, now, the theory here that Beckel is just trying to bait people, &#8216;Bob Beckel said it, oh, must be true,\u2019 and then conservatives start rolling with it at even greater speed, but that Beckel knew all along that he was lying, that there was no tape, and he knew there wasn\u2019t a tape, and they knew he knew that if he gave it credence, that it would suck in some conservatives on this. Okay, even so, take the theory face value. How does Beckel get exempted from those responsible for spreading this thing around? Well, he didn\u2019t mention what the supposed slur from Michelle (My Belle) was, but everybody at the time knew what it was. So he was playing it very cagey. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s John in Canton, Ohio. John, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. This is the fourth time I\u2019ve talked to you and it\u2019s been a pleasure each time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Regarding that rumor, I believe you said shortly after you first mentioned it that the person who had spread these rumors had spread false rumors in the past, and at that time it made me think, well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, the guy that spread this was the guy who claimed that Karl Rove had been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s the same guy. I said, &#8216;This guy\u2019s got no credibility,\u2019 and I was frankly kind of surprised why anybody was believing what this guy had to say.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I pretty much wrote it off at that time, when you said that, I thought, well, it\u2019s probably just one more &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. In that regard, I shot it down out there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, you did. And, you know, rather than being a uniter, this guy is really a divider. I think somebody mentioned this before, \u2019cause the author that I\u2019ve bought books from, most are probably Thomas Sowell. I love Thomas Sowell. I voted for Alan Keyes in \u201996 and 2000 Republican primary, I voted for Ken Blackwell in 2006 for governor. And you really have to struggle to, you know, watch your thoughts about people of other race because of Obama and this whole mess. He\u2019s not a uniter, he\u2019s a divider. And it\u2019s really difficult, I don\u2019t know, I shouldn\u2019t say much more, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I know where you\u2019re heading. We made the point here that he does not unite people.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, not at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That everybody in his inner circle has something wrong with them: mad, they\u2019re enraged, they\u2019re angry. I mean, no matter what his wife said or didn\u2019t say in a tape, she\u2019s still mad.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, yeah. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And Jeremiah Wright\u2019s fit to be tied all the time. Obama can\u2019t unify his party. I\u2019ve got stories in the stack here about how Blue Dog Democrats, and it\u2019s not just this one Democrat named Boren from Oklahoma, there are a number of Democrats, conservative Democrats who get elected in conservative districts, they\u2019re not going to support Obama. Their constituents don\u2019t support him. There is no unified Democrat Party on Barack Obama. I have another story in the stack. Obama losing ground with Latinos. I have another story in the stack that suggests that not all are happy with the Obama campaign. It\u2019s a giant, total media-created myth. Along with this messiah business, there\u2019s no evidence that he\u2019s unified anybody, any time, at any stretch of his career. So it\u2019s an interesting psychology play. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This Michelle (My Belle) Obama &#8216;whitey\u2019 rumor, the tape and so forth, the DVD that was out there, I heard about this for two weeks before I ever commented on this.
