RUSH: You know, as long as we\u2019re outing people — which is what this is. We\u2019re outing people. Here, look at this. It\u2019s in the New York Times today: ‘Cuomo Wins Ruling to Name Merrill Bonus Recipients — ‘Anyone who has received a bonus in the top echelon is concerned, and wouldn\u2019t you be?\u2019 said Jeanne Branthover, the head of financial services recruiting at Boyden Global Executive Search. ‘This is a witch hunt.” ‘Andrew M. Cuomo is starting to unearth some of the most closely guarded secrets on Wall Street: the identities of Merrill Lynch employees who collected large bonuses even as the brokerage firm lost billions.\u2019 They\u2019re searching now for the AIG names as well. Some of these people are beginning to say, ‘My gosh, it\u2019s a crime to make money!\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes! Welcome to the real world. All of you people on Wall Street who voted for Obama and who give money to the Democrats, you\u2019re damn right. It\u2019s a crime to earn money, and they\u2019re going to exploit this as much as they can to get as many people hating and despising you and your business so that they turn to government. So as long as we\u2019re outing people, ladies and gentlemen, can we have a list…? I\u2019d like to officially ask this. I may have a statute of limitations problem on this, but I would like to have a list of all the people who were known to use Barney Frank\u2019s townhouse to meet male prostitutes in the 1970s. Remember he had a boyfriend back then named Stephen Gobie (it might have been the eighties) and Gobie was using downstairs at Barney\u2019s townhouse to run a prostitution ring. <\/p>\n

Gobie has called this program before to discuss this, and Barney was getting Gobie\u2019s parking tickets fixed for parking in front of Barney\u2019s townhouse. I\u2019d like a list of the names of the people who were known to use Frank\u2019s townhouse to meet prostitutes. I seem to recall he had a little problem with that. Can we have all of the names of all of the people who were involved in securing a sweetheart mortgage for Chris Dodd? We\u2019d like to know who all of these people are. Can we have a list of the names of all the people that were involved in Harry Reid\u2019s multiple sleazy land deals in California and Las Vegas? And can we have the names of all the people who were currently covering up Charles Rangel\u2019s sleazy tax evasions? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Barney Frank was asked last night on MSNBC the following question. ‘Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are accusing you of McCarthyism.\u2019 It was Martha MacCallum who did this. Media Matters has — and that\u2019s where they got the question, by the way. These people at MSNBC would be lost without Media Matters to tell \u2019em what happened and what questions to ask. So here\u2019s Barney\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n

FRANK: I didn\u2019t know that Rush Limbaugh thought that McCarthy was a bad guy. That\u2019s probably one of the few times that either Fox News or Mr. Limbaugh have said bad words about Joe McCarthy. He\u2019d always been a right-wing hero. In fact, I\u2019m not — what McCarthy did was to falsely accuse people of things and to make guilt by association arguments or talk about their political associations and — in ways that were — were unfair. I\u2019m simply asking for factual information about people working for a company that is mostly owned by the federal government.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, this is a popular myth, that McCarthy falsely accused people of things. Mr. Frank, he was falsely accusing people of being communists. What\u2019s so bad about being a communist? You liberal Democrats love every communist regime to come down the pike, from the Sandinistas to Hugo Chavez to Fidel Castro to, of course, the Soviet Union. What was so bad about being accused of being a communist? The problem with McCarthy was that he was right too many times about things. If he was wrong about it, they would have made a joke and laughed about it and so forth, but he was getting too close in a lot of ways. McCarthyism is one of these things that\u2019s so greatly misunderstood and now misreported and exaggerated. <\/p>\n

But Barney doesn\u2019t even get the irony here, he doesn\u2019t even understand Joe McCarthy sat there on a committee and was basically using the power of government to impugn, legally or not, falsely or not, private citizens. Barney Frank\u2019s doing the same thing, demanding their names be made public, that their bonuses be turned back, even after being told that they are being threatened and they fear for their own safety. (doing Frank impression) ‘I don\u2019t care (unintelligible) names (unintelligible) produce them, here (unintelligible) I don\u2019t care, McCarthyism, the names will be produced. (unintelligible) I don\u2019t care what you say.\u2019 This is the unbridled power of government that doesn\u2019t seem to be stoppable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
