RUSH: If you\u2019re just joining us, too bad for you. You missed a barnstormer of a first hour. Audio sound bite from Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields and Sally Quinn, both complaining that Sarah Palin has no business accepting the job of vice president. No way, because she got too many kids. She needs to stay home — and besides, if she\u2019s elected vice president, she\u2019s got a 17-year-old daughter that\u2019s pregnant. She\u2019s got a Down syndrome baby of her own. It\u2019s just too distracting. She can\u2019t possibly work. Besides, religious women are subservient to their husbands, and she\u2019s violating one of the central tenets of evangelicals, Sally Quinn said. So I said, ‘Okay, let\u2019s take a look at some Drive-By info babes and check out their families,\u2019 and we have the first one in. <\/p>\n

Soledad O\u2019Brien, who was the one interviewing Sally Quinn of Georgetown. Since 1995, 13 years ago, Soledad O\u2019Brien has been married to Bradley Raymond, who is the cohead of investment banking at Thomas Weisel Partners. Together (I guess it\u2019s like important to say that), Soledad O\u2019Brien and her husband have two daughters and twin sons. Sofia Elizabeth, born October 23rd, 2000; Cecilia born March 20th, 2002; and Charlie and Jackson on August 30, 2004. She has four kids under nine years old. She has no business working at CNN. She has no business being in the Drive-By Media. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care. Sally Quinn said it was okay to have two or three kids, but not as many as Sarah Palin has, and Soledad O\u2019Brien has four, and they\u2019re under ten. Now, I haven\u2019t been a parent, but I would venture to say that kids under ten years old — nine and younger — do present some problems. They are not exactly self-sufficient. You might not want to say that they\u2019re special needs kids, but they certainly need guidance, and it doesn\u2019t sound like old Bradley here has taken much time off from the investment banking firm, does it? So who is it that\u2019s raising Soledad O\u2019Brien\u2019s kids so that she can go in the Drive-By Media and pollute the country with her arch, ultra-leftism? <\/p>\n

You know, some commentators, ladies and gentlemen, are bemoaning the fact that the McCain campaign made a mistake and canceled the first night of the convention in order to show solidarity with the suffering of those hit by Hurricane Gustav. These commentators are saying that the Republicans made a typical mistake. They tried to please the media by showing the media that they, too, care about people who are harmed in natural disasters — that of course Republicans cause. That is another narrative and template. Republicans cause natural disasters because they don\u2019t care about poor people. They don\u2019t care about suffering, as evidenced by Hurricane Katrina. <\/p>\n

Some of the Republicans in typical defensive mode, say some commentators, decided to cancel the first night of a four-night extravaganza to showcase who they are and that it was a mistake. I could say that at the outset. However, I am thinking this. The media vacuum created by the Republicans canceling their convention on the first night has given the media a chance to fill that vacuum, and look how they\u2019re doing it. There may be an upside to this. This is what I mean by always trying to find the good that happens in everything, the media is showing one and all just fine — better than they ever have — who they are, how mean-spirited they are, how anti-traditional American values they are, and they\u2019re doing it 24\/7. <\/p>\n

In the case of Sarah Palin, this is even more perverse. They\u2019re attacking the mother for behavior of one of her children. They want you to believe that both the child and her mother are unworthy, yet they forgive Bill Clinton. They forgive John Edwards. They forgive John Kennedy. They forgive any liberal because they have an agenda, and nothing is to get in the way of their agenda. Their agenda is without a moral order. There is no moral structure to liberalism that has to be followed. It is why they\u2019re able to tell themselves that the biggest enemy they face is not Al-Qaeda. It\u2019s not the new Russia. It\u2019s not Iran. It\u2019s not the North Koreans. It\u2019s not China. <\/p>\n

The biggest enemy the American left faces is conservatism and the Republican Party. To them, that represents true evil. Russia is not evil. Iran is not evil. Israel is close to being evil. North Korea is not evil, the new Russia is not evil because they have a messiah who can deal with all those people. But the evil that they have to fight is us. And when you have no moral structure (which they don\u2019t) and then you engage in fighting what you consider to be evil, why, evil must be vanquished, must it not? At whatever cost. And if you have no moral structure, then how can you even say there is a cost to what you\u2019re doing? So, to be human, to have standards, is to be demeaned and disparaged. <\/p>\n

To believe in something greater than government, to believe in something greater than global warming, to believe in something greater than health care for all, to believe in something greater than pure, unadulterated socialism, is to be demeaned and disparaged. Like God is to be condemned. People who believe in God are to be condemned. The American left — which now embodies the working class government, the Washington government, the American mainstream media, and the Democrat Party; that\u2019s the American left — are truly frightened of God. That\u2019s who they\u2019re trying to beat. They\u2019re trying to wipe God out of every heart and soul in this country that believes in God. God is their competitor. Those of you who believe in God and are God\u2019s soldiers, you become the enemy on the battlefield. <\/p>\n

The only way to beat God is to beat you. To beat God out of you. And this is what they\u2019re doing, and make no mistake about it. To believe in human life, whether it be a Down syndrome child or an out of wedlock pregnancy is to be condemned. It\u2019s to be condemned. Stop and think about that. To believe in human life is to be condemned. So, according to Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields, it\u2019s Sarah Palin\u2019s fault that the liberal media is investigating. It\u2019s Sarah Palin\u2019s fault that the liberal media is trying to destroy her 17-year-old daughter. Mark Shields said it; we had the sound bite in the previous hour. The libs have been all excited about change. Obama represents change! He represents somebody new! He\u2019s not from Washington! He speaks well. He\u2019s handsome. <\/p>\n

His experience or lack thereof is dismissed. Nobody even thinks to ask how he is being a father to his two young daughters given his campaign schedule, then along comes Sarah Palin. She represents more change than Obama; she is infinitely more qualified than Obama. I heard Obama\u2019s response to that, by the way? He said, ‘What do you mean, I have no executive experience? Why, I\u2019ve been running my campaign for a year and a half. I\u2019ve been running my campaign. I\u2019m managing my campaign!\u2019 We all know he\u2019s not managing the campaign. A guy named David Axelrod is. But, Obama actually said he\u2019s got more executive experience running a presidential campaign than Sarah Palin has as two years as governor of Alaska. <\/p>\n

Then along comes Sarah Palin, who represents more change than Obama, she comes from a place further from Washington than Obama. She is an accomplished politician and governor of a state. She\u2019s got five kids. She is treated as the devil! She is being treated as the devil incarnate. The attacks on Sarah Palin are attacks on most American families in this country. I\u2019m not saying every American family has the same beliefs or practices, but this is an attack on the family, on working women, on marriage. They rip her for her experience, and they gleefully are cited by the haters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
