You have once again nailed it. I have to give you credit. Many, many, many moons ago you were the first to say in public that this whole thing going way back to the dossier and probably earlier was nothing more than Democrat Party opposition research. And in hindsight, man, you were a hundred percent correct and incredibly prescient, as usual.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you know, I\u2019m flattered that you remember that. I\u2019ve had media people, I\u2019m not gonna mention any names, but after the Mueller report came out I got a bunch &#8212; and I don\u2019t get this much. I really don\u2019t hear from people very often, but I heard from some media people on our side who said, &#8220;My God, you called this. You said there was nothing to this from the get-go. How did you know?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that question kind of, I mean, it depresses me. I shouldn\u2019t be the only one who sees who the Democrat Party is. I shouldn\u2019t be the only one able to see, because it\u2019s there for everybody to see. It shouldn\u2019t be that tough to recognize that liberalism is liberalism and what liberalism is.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like this Kate Smith business. If you haven\u2019t heard about this, and probably you have by now. But the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Flyers have declined to play Kate Smith\u2019s God Bless America anymore. Yankees did it in the seventh inning stretch. The Flyers did it, a tradition going back, she sang it live once they won the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042219-Kate-Smith-covered.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042219-Kate-Smith-covered.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042219-Kate-Smith-covered-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They have a statue outside their arena, the Flyers do, they\u2019ve covered the statute, gonna remove the statue because back in the thirties she recorded two songs, the lyrics of which were racist.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6pZ1brENIjw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And so I\u2019m watching people on TV talk about this. And they\u2019re wailing against political correctness. They are going on and on and on, political correctness is dead, and when is it gonna stop? Ten years from now can people get mad at us for stuff that we said that today is not racist but 10 years from now it might be? When does this stop? And I watch this stuff, and my mouth is wide open and agape.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not political correctness! It\u2019s liberalism! It\u2019s progressivism. And it\u2019s gonna keep going until somebody stands up and tells them to pack it where the sun doesn\u2019t shine. It\u2019s not political correctness! It\u2019s liberalism. It\u2019s progressivism. It\u2019s the Democrat Party. It\u2019s all of the abnormal kooks and wackos in this country intimidating and pressuring the normal, who are then caving to it!<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe the Philadelphia Flyers are actually covering the statue? Are you telling me that people who attend Philadelphia Flyers games, hockey fans are gonna sit there being so damned sensitive over a couple of songs Kate Smith sang back in the 1930s or whenever it was? And the &#8220;New Yank Yorkies&#8221; doing the same thing? Talk about caving?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rM-IogJDPF0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And the same people that cave rub their hands together, \u201cWhen\u2019s it gonna stop?\u201d When you stand up and stop it. When you refuse to abide by it. When you tell Twitter to go to hell is when it\u2019s gonna stop. The same thing with this. &#8220;Rush, how could you have known it was bogus from the get-go?&#8221; How could you have not? How could you have not seen what this was from the get-go? Russian collusion, Trump a traitor?
