<\/p>\nRUSH: Last night, Anderson Cooper 205 talking about William Barr saying that the Trump campaign was spied on during the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
COOPER: Was it just a misstatement? Did he say the word “spying” when he really meant “surveillance”? We don\u2019t know. But keeping them honest, what we do know is that whatever his intent, Mr. Barr relit the fuse of conspiracy for the President and his supporters. Rush Limbaugh ran with it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well! If “Rush Limbaugh ran with it,” then CNN knows exactly what it was. What\u2019s the difference between “surveillance” and “spying”? One sounds better? “Surveillance,” I guess, sounds a little bit more sophisticated. “Surveillance is a little bit more sophisticated.” Spying? Spying you think of these goofballs from Mad Magazine. Last night Anderson Cooper 205, he then turned to legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. Both these guys are active left-wing activists and hacks. Anderson Cooper said, “The president\u2019s now saying ‘illegal spying.\u2019 If all of this is related to the FISA warrants on Carter Page, the warrants were renewed three times. They were done so by Republican-appointed judges and the Gang of Eight was briefed.”<\/p>\n
TOOBIN: He is a case study in the evolution of the Republican Party, which is in the eighties and nineties certainly believed in a strong presidency, and that\u2019s what led to the — to the pardons (sputtering) and — and — but — but now, you know, we\u2019re into the Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart conspiracy theorists, Uranium One, which he was talking about that we backed away from that. Now he\u2019s talking about spying. I mean, he is a good example of how the Republican Party has moved dramatically — and, in some cases, irrationally — to the right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, I know this is Toobin and — these people are not very bright. I\u2019ve actually come to the conclusion that they are intellectually deficient, they\u2019re not curious, and because of their arrogance, they\u2019re literally closed-minded people. And so they are unable to accept anything outside their little cocoon.<\/p>\n
They also then couple that with believing that they represent the majority of thinking in the country, that they represent the majority of what\u2019s reasonable and what\u2019s moderate and centrist.<\/p>\n
And these people are so far away from the center of this country, they are so far to the left, and either they know it and are doing a great act here or they don\u2019t know it. It doesn\u2019t really matter which is the case. The fact that they have no audience ought to tell them that they\u2019re not relating to very many people!<\/p>\n
How can you sit there with a fifth place audience and claim that you are representing a majority of thinking in the country? And by the same token, how can you look at the network that has far and away the greatest audience and add even larger audiences of this show and claim that we\u2019re the outliers and they are the definition of normalcy? These are the people that are way off the path.<\/p>\n
