RUSH: Our first caller, the only caller we\u2019ve had today, Mel from Saratoga, New York, said, ‘Hey, Rush, we\u2019re not going to understand our enemies unless we go talk to them. We gotta go out and talk to them. We gotta show \u2019em we mean \u2019em no harm,\u2019 blah, blah. ‘We can\u2019t be hurt. Obama knows Chavez needs our money for his oil,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah. Look, we have to talk to one another, right? I keep hearing this from the left. Reagan didn\u2019t talk to the Soviets until 1986! He knew what their leaders were. He knew what the Soviet Union was. He knew what their plan was. He didn\u2019t need to talk to them. Besides, as he said, their leaders kept dying. <\/p>\n

Well, when is the last time Obama spoke to me? Instead, President Obama has directed his hacks to attack me. Obama, Barack Obama, President Barack Obama, treats brutal dictators better than he speaks to (or of) many of his own countrymen who disagree with him. In fact, Barack Obama warned Republican members of Congress that they\u2019re not supposed to listen to me, and he told the American people, ‘You\u2019re not supposed to listen to people like Rush Limbaugh,\u2019 but we\u2019ve got a lot to learn from Hugo Chavez, and we\u2019ve got a lot to learn from Daniel Ortega. Ortega went nuts in his speech at the summit for 50 minutes. He just kept bashing this country left and right with Obama sitting there. <\/p>\n

Obama just sat there and nodded, smiled a couple of times, and said that he didn\u2019t want to be blamed. No! He thanked Ortega for not blaming him for things that happened when he was just three years old or three months old or whatever, thereby pretty much confirming what Ortega said, ‘Well, thanks for not blaming me.\u2019 He blamed the country, which was fine with Obama. You people on the left, you saps, don\u2019t sit there and give me, ‘We gotta talk with our enemies.\u2019 You people on the American left, you treat me and other conservatives as a far greater threat to your existence than left-wing socialist dictators around the world, including Ahmadinejad. Can\u2019t wait to talk to him, can\u2019t wait to talk to all these other people that have nothing but destruction and damage and harm planned for the United States of America. <\/p>\n

Mr. Snerdley, who was the big guy on radio before I came along? (interruption) Well, no, no, in the modern era. I don\u2019t want to go back to the days when TV was just new. (interruption) Arthur Godfrey. Okay, the big guy in radio was Larry King. That was the big guy. Larry King was the big guy in radio. I should apologize as the new leader of radio. I should apologize to the country for <\/line>Larry King. I should apologize to the world for Larry King. Larry King\u2019s time on the radio was an embarrassment, and things are not going to be right with American media until I apologize for King\u2019s arrogance and his shoddy performance, even though nobody heard it because it was after midnight. I should apologize for National Public Radio. <\/line><\/p>\n

I should apologize for them, too. I should. Not to them, for them. I should apologize to the world! I mean, if Obama can run around apologize for America because he\u2019s now its leader, I should apologize for broadcasting because I\u2019m now it\u2019s leader. I\u2019m going to apologize for Chris Matthews, apologize for Dan Rather, apologize for Katie Couric. Hell, I won\u2019t stop there! I\u2019ll apologize for Walter Cronkite. Walter Cronkite lost the Vietnam War. I\u2019ll apologize for him. Larry King is seen and heard around the world. They should know America is sorry we subjected them to people like King and others. I want to apologize to the world for foisting Larry King on it. <\/p>\n

These media people, why, they\u2019ve embarrassed our country with all the biased and phony reporting they\u2019ve done over the years. I apologize for them. That\u2019s what Obama\u2019s doing! He\u2019s running around, he\u2019s apologizing for Bush; he\u2019s even apologizing for Clinton; he\u2019s apologizing for all of America. But he\u2019s exempting himself from having anything to do with it. Now, this story: ‘President Barack Obama\u2019s top economic advisers have determined that they can shore up the nation\u2019s banking system without having to ask Congress for more money any time soon…\u2019 You know how they\u2019re going to do this? All of the outstanding debt that the banks owe the country, they\u2019re just going to take it as common stock. The United States government is going to take stock, common stock, in the 19 biggest banks of the country. <\/p>\n

‘[C]onverting those loans to common shares would turn the federal aid into available capital for a bank — and give the government a large ownership stake in return…\u2019 Now, you wonder why the stock market\u2019s down 248 today. ‘Cause the banks are starting to report some healthy news, some of them are. Not all, but some of the reporting, you know, healthy futures and so forth, and some of them want out of the TARP deal — and the administration says, ‘Not only are you not getting out of the TARP deal, we\u2019re not going to accept your loan repayments. We\u2019re just going to accept whatever you owe us in the form of common stock in your bank and we\u2019re going to own you. We\u2019re going to have equity in the bank and this is going to save the taxpayers gazillions of dollars.\u2019 No wonder Hugo Chavez was laughing and smiling all weekend. <\/p>\n

This is what he did to the oil industry down in his own Venezuela: nationalize it. Obama\u2019s well on the — I guess the United Auto Workers going to end up not only on the board of General Motors, United Auto Workers may end up on the board of directors of some of these banks. Now, at this point, for somebody to say that they hope Obama succeeds, knowing full well what his domestic and foreign policy is and the people he embraces and rejects… It\u2019s irresponsible to now say you hope Obama succeeds. The only way they can say that they want Obama to succeed are either committed leftists who are dead set on dismantling the United States and their free marketers, individual rights, American exceptionalism or so emotionally invested in Obama, they can\u2019t admit they were wrong, or a combination of the two. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t discount the second option here: they\u2019re so emotionally invested in Obama, they can\u2019t admit they were wrong. There\u2019s a large contingent of Americans who voted for Obama who are just so emotionally invested, the historic nature and — and all this razzmatazz and rigmarole, they just can\u2019t admit they were wrong. And at the other end you\u2019ve got committed leftists dead set on seeing the United States dismantled. Who wouldn\u2019t support Obama in that? The capitalist system of the US dismantled. The people who feel their way through life, internalize things. When I said, ‘I hope he fails,\u2019 the people who feel their way through life internalize that as me hoping that America fails, and Obama knows this personality type exists by the millions. <\/p>\n

Young people are especially likely to look at life in a self-centered, emotional manner. These are Americans so invested in their hope for what Obama stands for that for me to say that I hope Obama fails is the same thing as saying I hope they fail. And that\u2019s why I caught such a lot of grief over this. Because the people who feel their way through life — not think their way, not live their way, but people who feel their way through life — have this unhealthy emotional attachment to the cult figure that is Obama, so here I come along, say, ‘Oh, I hope he fails,\u2019 and think, ‘Oh, Rush Limbaugh wants me to fail, too!\u2019 No, it\u2019s just the exactly opposite. I want everybody to succeed. I want everybody to enjoy the fruits of liberty and freedom and the pursuit of happiness — and it\u2019s being stymied, and it\u2019s being stifled right before your very eyes with President Obama. <\/p>\n

So that\u2019s how I hope Obama fails, that\u2019s how that single statement gets internalized, because people get this emotional attachment. So when I say I hope Obama fails, these people think that I was saying I hope they fail — personally. And such was not the case; it\u2019s just the opposite. The same thing goes for radical leftists who support Obama. To say that I hope Obama fails is a hope that radical leftists fail, and that\u2019s true. I do want radical leftists to fail. I want people like Chavez to fail. I want Daniel Ortega to fail. I want Ahmadinejad to fail. Obama only wants me to fail. The Democrat Party only wants me to fail. These people are not interested in why I hope Obama fails. It never rises to that level because they don\u2019t think; they\u2019re emotionally attached. <\/p>\n

Their feelings have been hurt, and their worldview has been questioned. All they can do is attack me personally because they feel like they have been attacked personally because I\u2019ve attacked their emotional attachment to the cult figure that is Barack Obama. I hurt their feelings when describing Obama\u2019s foreign and domestic policies as failures. You know, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said that when he was in the Soviet gulag… I mean, this is what we\u2019re up against. These are the kind of people that Solzhenitsyn described in the gulag are identical to the people we\u2019re up against here who have this emotional attachment to Obama. <\/p>\n

When he was in the gulag, Solzhenitsyn said that his fellow prisoners cried when the death of Stalin was announced. Stalin had put them there! Stalin had put them in prison. Stalin had imprisoned them and killed millions of them. Those who were alive in prison cried when Stalin died. It\u2019s like Victor from Boca Raton said last week: ‘Stalin didn\u2019t know all these bad things were going on,\u2019 just like these people with the emotional attachment to Obama say, ‘Obama doesn\u2019t know. He can\u2019t possibly know what Janet Napolitano did to that Department of Homeland Securities briefing! He can\u2019t possibly know.\u2019 So the people imprisoned by Stalin who cried when he died, are the same kind of people we\u2019re dealing here with Obama. <\/p>\n

These people react in personal rage and anger when I say I hope Obama fails, because their emotional link to Obama tells them that I want them to fail, too, which is just the exact opposite. And they\u2019re going to be hurt more every day now that Obama is revealing himself to be exactly as I have described and predicted, and it hasn\u2019t been clairvoyance. My descriptions and predictions of Obama were based on his past and present statements, his affiliations. You see, what happened? I happened to flush out two kinds of people when I said I hope Obama fails: those who are emotionally invested in Obama (more so than they were invested in their own views and their own country) and I also flushed out those who share Obama and Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright\u2019s views of the United States. <\/p>\n

So I flushed out two groups of people. Now, I feel sorry for those of you who are emotionally invested in Obama and really do not hate your country. Because your emotional investment connection to Obama is so strong that you are in denial about Obama the president and Obama\u2019s policies. These people have defined themselves as people who have allowed their personal feelings and false hope to trump reality. They define themselves by what they want to hear, not by what is reality, and Obama knows it and plays on it. What do you think…? The statement, ‘We gotta get rid of the failed ideologies of the past; we gotta get rid of the failed ways of thinking in the past and move on,\u2019 what does that mean? <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got to tear America down, put it back together in my way! The failed ideologies of the past, the failed policies. America\u2019s past is over, and it was reprehensible, Obama believes, and we\u2019ve got to get rid of — we\u2019ve got to move on. ‘Yes! Yes! We must unify, Mr. Limbaugh. We must admit our mistakes and our follies and we must move forward. Obama wants to do this and take us with him!\u2019 These are the people who are emotionally attached. And, sadly, it\u2019s a lot of America today. So many people have been encouraged and taught in schools and the culture to get in touch with their personal feelings in matters of public policy. They are taught how they should feel about things, how they should react, what it means to them. Not the intent of the speaker. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a dangerous way to go through life. Critical thinking requires effort. Shallow feelings are immature and gutless. The people I\u2019m talking about don\u2019t want to know why I say what I say. They\u2019re obsessed on how the speaker\u2019s words make them feel. I say, ‘I hope Obama fails.\u2019 Their emotional attachment tells them I also want them to fail, therefore I\u2019m not their friend. I\u2019m their enemy — when in fact their real enemy is not me. I\u2019m the biggest ally they have. It\u2019s what Obama says, what that means to me, not what he intends to do. That\u2019s how these people look at it. But in the process we\u2019re finding out what he intends to do. Too many Americans play in the arena of emotions, not the arena of ideas. Obama knows it and he encourages it, because his ideas are not America\u2019s. <\/p>\n

His ideas are not the clear majority. A real crisis ought to help us think, but the latest economic downturn has been misrepresented to make us intellectually and emotionally susceptible to making bad decisions and assigning blame incorrectly. Why is it that those of you who listen to this program are so well informed, and Obama followers are so poorly involved and informed? This according to studies. Both men purposely achieve this. I want my audience to be as informed as possible. Obama wants his to be as uninformed and emotional as possible, because that\u2019s how Obama is able to use that kind of support to advance his real agenda, which is unimportant to the people who have an emotional attachment. It\u2019s incumbent on Obama and Bill Ayers to keep as many people as dumbed down and emotionally attached as possible. <\/p>\n

It is a real condescension and smugness to treat people and look at them this way, but this is the way of Obama. It is the way of the Democrat Party. Emotional manipulation is used because so many people are susceptible to it. I\u2019ve never played the card of emotional manipulation — being taught how to feel, I mean, not think. And that\u2019s what political correctness is all about. Political correctness is not thinking; it\u2019s feeling. It\u2019s about how you feel. ‘Are you offended?\u2019 That defines what somebody else can say or not. That\u2019s why we now have constitutionally correct behavior. ‘How do you feel about the tea parties?\u2019 Tea bagging jokes meant to manipulate how people felt about tea parties. Not what was being said and why was it was being said and why it was being done — and Obama understands this. Obama\u2019s trying to make patriotic constitutional behavior appear to be inappropriate and incorrect. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lennie in Pittsburgh. Lennie, home of the Steelers. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. How are you today, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine and dandy, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good. Well, you want me to just fire off what I called about?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I want you to go kind of slow because I\u2019m in a bad mood today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well, what I\u2019m calling about actually is a comment you made earlier. You said that you — you don\u2019t choose your words — or actually you didn\u2019t say it like that. You said that you don\u2019t say things to evoke an emotional response out of people, that you do things and you say things to teach, and it\u2019s, I guess, about learning on your show. And I kind of take offense to that because, uh, every day, all day, I hear one thing after another that is somewhat exaggerated just to get an emotional response out of people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Give me an example.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh. Okay. You say that Obama was ‘palling around\u2019 with those world leaders. The word (sic — phrase) ‘palling around\u2019 kind of is to get an emotional response from people, I would think. You know, you call him The Prophet (sic) and The Messiah. Well, he\u2019s really not those things —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He thinks he is, though. He thinks he is and he acts that way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, but for you to say those things is just to get an emotional response out of people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I\u2019m trying to communicate what I think about the guy, and I\u2019m trying to communicate what I think is how other people react to him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Do you think he\u2019s The Messiah?<\/p>\n

RUSH: This program operates in the arena of ideas. I am trying to share my own critical thinking with people so that they pick up on the technique. Using \u2019emotion,\u2019 as I mean it, is President Obama telling people things that will never happen, promising them that they will. Emotion is used primarily in demagoguery and populism. You identify what people think they want and you tell them you\u2019re going to give it to them, when you\u2019re going to give them the exact opposite, when you\u2019re going to not do it at all. That\u2019s using emotion. The last thing Obama wants is for his voters to start actually thinking about what\u2019s happening, versus what he\u2019s saying, \u2019cause if that ever does happen, he\u2019s going to be in a world of trouble. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Cause they\u2019re two different things. But everything I tell you I believe. When I say I want Obama to fail, you think that\u2019s an emotional ploy?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, kind of.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. Originally I did, actually.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s 100% intellectually honest.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Now I actually believe that you believe that. Which is… You know, you\u2019re spreading that around now, which is getting an emotional response from people. I — I truly believe that a lot of the tea parties and — and all that activity had a lot to do with you and some other conservative radio and Fox News, who is fair and balanced, but they were actually — but they had like commercials for this stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is classic. What you\u2019re doing to me, what you\u2019re saying, is you are regurgitating the drivel I have read on left-wing blogs. You are classic. You have not said one original thing. I\u2019ve heard everything you\u2019ve said spewed by television commentators, or written by bloggers, and you are trying to mischaracterize and impugn the people that went to the tea parties as nothing but a bunch of mind-numbed robots who were led there by Svengalis and pied pipers like me. <\/p>\n

I. Had. Nothing. To. Do. With. A. Single. Tea party! <\/p>\n

These people that showed up, showed up because they understand intellectually what is happening to their future and their children\u2019s future and what\u2019s happening to their country, and they want to stop it. Now, I can\u2019t argue with you that I get an emotional response from emotional people, but I wish I didn\u2019t. When I say, ‘I want Obama to fail,\u2019 I want people to stop and think: ‘What does he mean? What is he really saying?\u2019 Even though I say it as clear as I can, it is the emotional response that people think I\u2019m saying I want them to fail because they have an emotional tie to Obama, because he\u2019s a cult leader to them. So they think I\u2019m insulting them, when I\u2019m actually standing up for them. <\/p>\n

Individual liberty is going to triumph only if Obama fails. How anybody can say after this summit — after giving up the interrogation memos and the secrets of the CIA, after $4,000 billion dollars in debt (that sounds bigger than four trillion, right?) 4,000 billion dollars in debt, 4,000 billion dollars in debt — he\u2019s going to cut 100 million! Now, I\u2019m telling you, Lennie, what\u2019s happening out there is destruction of the country as we have known it, sidling up… He was palling around with people. He was palling around with these people! Now, I understand I get an emotional reaction, and I hate it. Because any time I get an emotional reaction, it is not fact-based, and it\u2019s so embarrassingly wrong, it makes me worry about the country. <\/p>\n

I can say, and I sit here and I plan it very carefully what I\u2019m going to say, even though I do improvisational monologues, but I say what I think. And the fact that people respond emotionally without even hearing the intellectual substance of it is a frightening thing. It\u2019s frightening where our country is. But the Democrat Party — not just Obama, the Democrat Party and liberals — live off this emotional connection. The greatest emotional connection I can think of (and may not be) is the attachment that black voters have to the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has destroyed the black family for 50 years. The Democrat Party has done not one thing they have promised the black family except to try to go out and punish a bunch of people who they think have held black people back. <\/p>\n

Just like Obama, here\u2019s what I would say to Obama. Obama thanks Daniel Ortega for not blaming him for what happened when he was only three months old. Obama thanks Ortega for not blaming him for the rotten aspects of America. I would like to say, ‘Obama, well, then stop blaming me for slavery. I wasn\u2019t alive.\u2019 But, see, they still do. They blame white America today for continued ongoing slavery. The Democrat Party has done more to keep this country divided and roiled and failing to make progress than anything I could have attempted myself, \u2019cause I want just the opposite. If there\u2019s ever anybody who really wants us all to agree, it\u2019s me. It\u2019s just I want you to agree with me. ‘Cause I\u2019m right, and I have the best interests of everybody at heart. I want you to succeed! I want this country to be greater than it\u2019s ever been! Do you realize how frustrating it gets for me to see stupidity multiplied in geometrical progressions every time I utter something that I passionately, truly believe that is singularly intelligent, brilliant, whatever you want to call it?<\/p>\n

To look at the stupid, uninformed, ignoramus, head-up-the-rear-end emotional responses from fellow Americans, that\u2019s what\u2019s frustrating. To watch people like you swallow the Kool-Aid on the false premise that the people you vote for are the nice ones, the compassionate ones, the tolerant ones. I want to grab you by the shoulders and shake you until you wake up! I want you to start using your head instead of blindly following your heart. Start thinking something of yourself rather than hoping other people get cut down to size so you feel better. Love yourself! Realize how great and unique you are, but you\u2019re never going to do that if you\u2019re caught up in emotional tugs with a president or popular sentiment or whatever. Well, I don\u2019t want to cash my individuality in at the door. I don\u2019t want to check it when I walk in anywhere. So, yeah, people have emotional reactions to me. It\u2019s the last thing I want. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
