RUSH: Paul in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you\u2019re up first today, sir. It\u2019s great to have you here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush! Over-10,000-tea-partiers-in-attendance dittos from Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It is an honor to talk to you. This is awesome. I called because as one of the organizers of the Albuquerque tea party, it\u2019s really burning me up to hear these reports that this was somehow —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t know that you worked for Fox News.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, well, and I\u2019m kind of mad at you, too, because I haven\u2019t received my check from you or Fox yet. I\u2019m wondering where that was. You were supposed to call and bolster me on all day yesterday. What happened there? But yeah, this was… We had, I want to say, about seven or eight people in our core group. This couldn\u2019t have been a more grassroots thing. This couldn\u2019t have been a more all volunteer function. Yeah, we had sponsorships, we had local businesses come out of the woodwork — mine included; that\u2019s how I originally got involved — to help get this thing off and help get it going.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. By the way, what the hell\u2019s wrong with that? What the hell is a local business getting involved with this, what\u2019s wrong with that? For crying out loud, General Electric\u2019s joined the damn global warming movement! You know, screw these people out there, Paul. Don\u2019t let them… You know they\u2019re going to lie about you. You know they\u2019re going to try to discredit what you do. When you put yourself out there like you did, you\u2019ve got to expect what\u2019s gonna come back at you, and you\u2019ve got to learn to ignore it, particularly when it isn\u2019t true. You can\u2019t let them make your focus change to convincing them. <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to play this — I\u2019m not saying you are– on their field. Just keep doing what you do and screw \u2019em! But what they want you to do is be all upset the way they report, they want you responding and pandering to them, they want you worried that they\u2019re misreporting it. Just be above \u2019em — which is not hard, \u2019cause you are. You\u2019re smarter, you\u2019re more involved, you have a much more open mind, and you\u2019re clearly more informed than half the journalists at CNN combined. Journalists are not even informed anymore. They\u2019re just activists. They\u2019re just agenda drivers. They don\u2019t bother to inform themselves. Kim in Chicago, you\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I just want to say: you are a true gift to the citizens of the United States. Thank you for your service.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s very nice of you to say. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to say, I heard your comment earlier, someone standing out in the Drive-Bys saying, ‘Where are the African-Americans? Where were the African-Americans?\u2019 and I just want to say, my husband and I were in Chicago at the tea party yesterday, and if they would have been in Chicago they would have seen some. We were really encouraged to see a great mix of ages and ethnic groups. We saw Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. There was a man on the street from Russia telling his concerns about what he\u2019s seen in his country and what\u2019s being paralleled here, and I think the only group that was missing was the media.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Well, the media has its templates, and the CNN babe shouting, ‘There\u2019s no African-Americans!\u2019 <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not just the template. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘There are no African-Americans \u2019cause conservatives are racists, and that\u2019s why African-Americans — they\u2019re smart — they don\u2019t show up at these things.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: And in fact you said there\u2019s some there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. They were in Chicago, and I was encouraged to see, like I said, a mix of ethnic groups, a mix of ages — and these people were angry, but this was a peaceful crowd, and it was an amazingly polite crowd. If people bumped into each other, they said, ‘Oh, excuse me. Sorry.\u2019 We were talking to each other, and I have to say the thing I thought was the greatest is at the end of this rally the people that were organizing it asked us all to look down and if we saw any litter on the street, at our feet, would we please pick it up and dispose of it properly on our way out, and everybody did it. It was just great. I was proud to be a part of it, and I\u2019m just really sick to see how they misrepresented this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but you knew it was going to happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. We knew it, but it was encouraging to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: These people are not as smart as you. Do not think that they\u2019re any smarter than you, just because they\u2019re on TV. They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: These people are such narrow-minded, so narrow-minded in their focus. They show up. (sigh) They don\u2019t even have to see. They just know it\u2019s going to happen because you\u2019re you, and they\u2019re going to report that it happened whether it did or not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I hope that the people that were there will be encouraged to come out, even more of us, the next time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They will, because they all had a good time.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, we did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All had a good time, and it was worthwhile, and it was worth the effort, and it had substantive meaning. You know, this was about substance. You guys are not following some personality cult out there. This is not about that. You were out there on your own. I think it was fabulous. I appreciate your phone call. Dorothy in Salem, Missouri, it\u2019s nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. It\u2019s good to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I tell you what, I want to thank you, and, you know, you talk about God, you\u2019re a gift from God? You are. You are, you are, you are.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Talent —<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019ve the courage, the boldness —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Talent… Talent on loan from God. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re very kind. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You have the guts, the courage, and the boldness to stand up for what you believe in. I\u2019m from Salem, Missouri, and we had a little gathering in our park. I didn\u2019t get to go because I was working yesterday, but I would like to have been there. I watched yesterday evening as much as I could of Glenn [Beck] and different ones, and I also saw the reporter. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. But I have to give the man that she was talking to that had a little child in his arms credit. He had manners, even though she was coming against him. He had enough manners to let her go on and just make a fool of herself, to be honest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She did.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Yes. And I admire Sarah Stillman and Jo Ann Emerson of Missouri. I admire those women very much. The rest of them as a whole — to me, if I had anything to do with it — we\u2019d kick \u2019em out and we\u2019d start anew.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Well, you know, this is an interesting reaction that you are having. Remember, now, I don\u2019t know if you heard the first half hour of the program — I\u2019m going to say it again here, but I don\u2019t mean to be throwing cold water on things. But one of the things I sense is effervescing out there on these tea parties is turning this into a third party movement, and there are a lot of people that want that to happen \u2019cause they want to be in charge of it. They want to get the credit for leading it, creating or what have you, or they want to use it to create a niche identity for themselves. I\u2019m not going to mention names because it\u2019s not the point. The point is that third parties lose. <\/line> <\/line> A third-party candidate will end up electing the alternative. Perot elected Clinton, for example. What instead needs to be the focus is largely what happened in 1994, and that is: Just get rid of as many incumbents as you can, because that\u2019s the problem here. Incumbents in Congress, incumbents in the Senate, that\u2019s the big problem. And right now, aside from little boulders in the road to try to stop Obama, there aren\u2019t the votes in Congress to stop anything he\u2019s doing. There\u2019s no way to stop the Democrats on this, and there\u2019s no way to stop the media. That\u2019s why these tea parties yesterday are important because this is the first step. This is something that\u2019s going to pop up from neighborhoods, from the grassroots, and this is the kind of thing that leads to the election of enough new members of Congress in 2010 that can maybe perhaps have a difference.<\/line> <\/line>Don\u2019t forget this, that a lot if not most of the stimulus package, the pork spending in the Porkulus bill doesn\u2019t really kick in \u2019til 2010 and after and if you get significant enough majorities — and it\u2019s a long shot but — you might be able to write legislation that cancels some of that spending, Obama would veto it, and it would depend on the majorities and if the Democrats have enough votes to override it. But these little movements that started yesterday were actually not little. There were 800 of them, 189,000 people is what I heard. So that\u2019s hundreds of thousands of Americans. The Democrats are trying to characterize this as something that it wasn\u2019t, but they\u2019re just frightened of it.<\/line> <\/line> And I\u2019ll tell you, a lot of other people look at this and they\u2019re probably a little surprised, too, because the casual observer and someone that pays casual attention to politics probably buys the media notion that Obama is universally popular in this country, that he\u2019s just great. Everybody loves him, loves his policies, loves him, and this kind of stuff happens and people say, ‘What, what, what?\u2019 It\u2019s like the guy that called yesterday, the 19-year-old called yesterday from Texas, ‘Obama does such a good job. Why is everybody so upset?\u2019 which was a great opportunity for me to try to explain it. And the more people think and realize that there are a lot of people that are not on line with this, the better the opportunity to oppose it.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nathan in Dallas. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. It is a pleasure to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call. And I just want to say first of all I acknowledge you and I thank you for being a voice for so many that just really don\u2019t have one or they can\u2019t find their voice to stand up. So thank you. The point I wanted to get to, though, is the reason I think the liberals are so put back and so upset, defensive, about yesterday, I think it\u2019s because up until now, they\u2019ve had the exclusive right to activism, and now nonliberals, whether it\u2019s, you know, so-called independents or conservatives, they\u2019re stepping up and they\u2019re finding a way to use what liberals have used for so long —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re right, but even with that there\u2019s a difference. A lot of liberal protests are rented, rent-a-mobs. Do you remember a couple, three years ago a million people came out to protest illegal immigration and so forth? That\u2019s all put together by the unions. The unions get hold of their members and say, ‘You will show up at X and X location.\u2019 Nobody had to be cajoled or prodded, nobody had to be threatened to show up at these tea parties yesterday. There are so many substantive differences. The public protests, you\u2019re right, is the liberal province. They\u2019ve owned it and they use it as a tool. And they pay people. That\u2019s why the name rent-a-mob exists. In fact, Nancy Pelosi, in her comments, said, ‘This is not a grassroots movement, this is an astroturf movement.\u2019 Now, Steve Gilbert at Sweetness-Light.com informs me — I didn\u2019t know this — that the term astroturfing was invented to describe actions by none other than David Axelrod, who is essentially Barack Obama\u2019s teleprompter. <\/p>\n

David Axelrod had a PR firm and he worked in the private sector. One of the things that Axelrod did was to create phony grassroots movements in order to pressure competitors of his clients or to push the concerns of his clients. Astroturfing pretty much, as Nancy Pelosi described it, is phony. Astroturf is the creation of the image that there\u2019s a big groundswell of grassroots movements when there isn\u2019t one behind it, sort of like a Wag the Dog kind of thing. Astroturfing, from what I understand, is the term described, or invented, to describe the practices of David Axelrod. So they\u2019re out there, Pelosi and the media, trying to diminish what happened and what you people did yesterday by calling it astroturfing, which means fake grassroots, phony grassroots, when, again, as is the case in so many things, when the Democrats start accusing you, when liberals start accusing you of something, the odds are they do it themselves and you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Mike, nice to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. I want to, first off, say thank you, and prostrate myself at the feet of the master.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s not necessary. I am not President Obama. Get up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) And I want to apologize for being one of those rich Republicans from Bucks County. But the real reason for my call —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You don\u2019t really mean that, you said that with a laugh. You\u2019re not apologizing for being rich.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re darn right I\u2019m not because I work 14 hours a day to be there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And besides, you won\u2019t be for very much longer. So enjoy it while you can.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s the real point. But what the media is trying to do is say, ‘Hey, this tea party was only how many hundred thousand, 180,000–‘<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you go to one?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. And that\u2019s one of the reasons for my call is because I was actually working, as I have to do, so the point is, not how many people showed up, but how many people agree and really back the same kind of sentiment like myself, and believe me, there\u2019s a lot —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Quite a few.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and this was only the first volley, the first shot over the bow. Because, let me tell you, you know better than I do what\u2019s going to happen. The taxes that will follow the cigarette tax, the liquor tax, the price going up for gasoline, socialized medicine, schooling, one thing after the other is going to break the camel\u2019s back. And you talk about sentiment bubbling up, pretty soon it\u2019s going to be like a volcano erupting, because it\u2019s going to pile on and pile on and pile on. And I believe all of these taxes, all of this money being taken from those who have is going to actually set a second wave of foreclosures on houses —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Which is what Obama wants. I think Obama wants the largest welfare state he can get. I really do. I think this is about as much federal control as he can secure for himself and the Democrat Party. Now, Mike, I\u2019m going to end your call right now because you\u2019re talking about the first shot over the bow. Don\u2019t forget, Department of Homeland Security is monitoring us now, and you\u2019ve identified yourself as coming from Bucks County, and you\u2019ve admitted that you are rich. I mean you couldn\u2019t make yourself a bigger target by having admitted all this on the program today. In addition to that, we have learned here that the National Security Agency does all the monitoring of phone calls and e-mails, has been collecting even more information than usual on domestic phone calls made by us, made by Americans. <\/p>\n

So I\u2019m going to try to protect you from any more risk that you put yourself under by being so open about this. If you\u2019re right, if Mike is right, if there are going to be more of these — and I\u2019ve heard that they\u2019re going to try to gin these things up again on July 4th — if that happens, I have a funny little suggestion for you, because you know the media will show up again, the Susan Roesgens of CNN and all the rest will show up. When they show up to start asking you questions as Susan Roesgen did with a guy holding a baby in Chicago yesterday, here\u2019s what you need to do. Promise me you\u2019ll do this. If you want to answer the questions, that\u2019s fine, if you want to try. But what you need to do first is say, ‘Where are the journalists? I don\u2019t see any journalists.\u2019 <\/p>\n

If there\u2019s somebody from CNN, with a camera and a microphone in your face, and they ask you some stupid questions, ‘Where are the journalists?\u2019 You know, and look around like you\u2019re trying to find them, ‘Where are the journalists? I don\u2019t see any journalists here.\u2019 Oh-ho. That will be fun. Nobody will ever see it on TV. They will edit it out, but you could have a friend of yours videotape it and post it on YouTube, like those two idiots at Domino\u2019s.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ashland, Ohio. Bill, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to speak to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m an 82-year-old, World War II Navy vet, and I\u2019m glad to be part of the shot across the bow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: God bless you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s the first protest I\u2019ve ever attended in Ashland, Ohio. About 500 gathered there. It\u2019s a small farm community, and a young lady Marine read your, I think grandfather\u2019s, article on the Framers of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That would be, I think, my father, who —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Your father.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — on the signers of the Declaration?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Somebody at the tea party read my dad\u2019s speech? It\u2019s on my website<\/a>. She read my dad\u2019s speech on the signers of the declaration at the tea party?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Yes. And you could have heard a pin drop. It was a very, very respectful crowd, and when she finished, there was cheering for quite a while.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. That is cool. You\u2019ve made my day out there, Bill. I tell what we\u2019re going to do. Koko, I want you to — \u2019cause that\u2019s in our archives. That\u2019s in the stack, the Essential Stack of Stuff at RushLimbaugh.com. Put the link to that speech, the text of it on the free side of the website tonight so people can read it. Put it up as soon as you can put it up there, in fact. Put it up at RushLimbaugh.com as soon as you can, signers of the Declaration of Independence. This will bring you to tears.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dan in Portland, Oregon, you\u2019re next. Thank you for waiting, sir. You\u2019re on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. This morning I picked up my boss, who is from Texas, and had to take him to the airport, and first thing he said was, ‘Boy, you got a lot of freaks in Portland.\u2019 And I said, ‘Well, what do you mean?\u2019 He goes, ‘Well, last night there was a demonstration, and they had piercings where they shouldn\u2019t have piercings and the tattoos where they shouldn\u2019t have tattoos,\u2019 and I said, ‘I\u2019ve been down there several times and usually it\u2019s a gay rights demonstration, something like that,\u2019 and he goes, ‘No, it was an anti-Obama, anti-tax demonstration,\u2019 and, Rush, I\u2019m here to tell you, I\u2019ve lived here all my life, those were not conservatives. I just want to let you know that all the people demonstrating are not conservatives, I\u2019ll bet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so that\u2019s your point, that there were some leftists that showed up?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no, according to him —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, but here\u2019s the thing about that. You\u2019re just getting the story from your boss, who watched it on TV.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no, no, no. He was down — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, he was down there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He saw it. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay, this is not TV coverage, he actually saw it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He actually saw it, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, we know, we were told that a bunch of leftists were going to try to infiltrate these things to try to give them a bad look and so forth. I don\u2019t know that that would qualify, but if you\u2019ve got people down there, did you say tattoos and piercings?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Again, I know they\u2019re not conservatives. <\/p>\n

RUSH: The odds are pretty good that they\u2019re not conservatives, so they are a bunch of liberals, but were they there on purpose or did they just happen to accidentally show up on the way to some parlor? This we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. They were definitely — according to him, they had signs, you know, tax without representation, all that kind of stuff, and he said that\u2019s who was there at the demonstration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It might have been marijuana growers.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It could have been. Who knows. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Melissa in Manassas, Virginia. I\u2019m glad that you called. Welcome to the program. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you so much for taking my call. I\u2019ve listened to you for years and you are such an inspiration across the board for all of us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted to share my experience yesterday. Myself and four other gray-haired terrorists went into the Washington tea party. It was an awesome experience, and I hope all of your listeners will at least gather some inspiration from my own enthusiasm. I was coined by my own mother when I was a teenager, I was so straight I was boring, which for most teenagers is a pretty odd thing —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and I guess —<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is at the White House, right? Across the street from the White House?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I was right across the street from the White House, and now can say I\u2019m feared by Homeland Security and 57-year-old radical extremists. The folks there were fabulous. It was a great crowd. It was wonderful to be with other people who have the same thoughts about our government that I do, that it\u2019s too big and spends too much and taxes too much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I need to ask you a question because time is —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — is dwindling.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Somebody threw a box of tea bags over the fence. What did they do? They got you out of there, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I actually… We had left right after Laura Ingraham spoke. I bet I know who it was, though. There was a gentleman who had on a fishing hook that was to mimic, I think, a colonial tea bag box. It was wrapped in some — what do I want to say? — fabric with a hemp tie on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. <\/p>\n

CALLER: He was absolutely benign.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so somebody was casting a line. That\u2019s what happened. Somebody cast a line to throw the thing over the fence.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I think I know who it was. <\/p>\n

RUSH: They shut everything down for a while, because they didn\u2019t know what it was. They sent a little miniature robot out there to make sure it wasn\u2019t a bomb, and they forced all the journalists back into the White House. Anyway, gotta take a time-out, folks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
