You\u2019re on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"239\" height=\"414\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: I\u2019m calling to say I\u2019m a new listener of about six months.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s great to hear. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you. And I really like listening to you. I think you have more common sense in your little finger than all our politicians.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. See, if you\u2019d been listening for a year, I would have said, &#8216;I know, you\u2019re right.\u2019 But since you\u2019ve only been here six months, I still have to tread softly.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. Well, I have a small shop, and I have your show on behind here, and I had a lady come in the other day, and she said, &#8216;Are you listening to Rush?\u2019 And I said, &#8216;Yes.\u2019 And she said, &#8216;He is evil! He said he hopes Obama fails.\u2019 She\u2019s still on the hopes Obama fails kick.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: She went all over me for ten minutes. I want to know why they\u2019re so angry. Why are they so mad? I mean she just &#8212; and then I finally, I thought, if I lose a sale, I lose a sale, I said, &#8216;Well, what has he done?\u2019 She said, &#8216;Well, just as much as the Bush administration.\u2019 So they\u2019re still on that kick. It\u2019s amazing to me. Amazing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I asked myself this question, too. I can\u2019t imagine what it would be like, Barbara, to get up every day and face the world as filled with rage as they do. I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to go through the day that mad.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know. It\u2019s just amazing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And then go to bed that mad, even after they won.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know. That\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand, and she insulted me and told me I\u2019m narrow-minded and, you know, bigoted, and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think there\u2019s a partial explanation for it, because she\u2019s uttering stereotypical clich&amp;eacute;s: racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobe &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; those are the cliches. But she walked in your store, and she probably wasn\u2019t that angry. I mean, she\u2019s got this pent up rage that Bush is alive, and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; she\u2019s got this pent up rage that I\u2019m alive, and she\u2019s got a cult-like belief in Obama, but she lives in a cocoon, and she\u2019s built a cocoon around herself so she\u2019s got a safe worldview, everything she believes is right, she allows nothing to challenge what she believes. She walks in, and you have pierced that cocoon simply by having my radio show on.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Yes, I did.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And you are making her face and deal with something that she doesn\u2019t want to acknowledge exists.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And so she has to destroy you, she has to impugn you for being an agent of all of this misery and disaster because you\u2019ve upset her carefully constructed world where she\u2019s just ignoring &#8212; I mean, these people, they don\u2019t live in reality. They get everything they want and they\u2019re still not happy.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This woman probably wants Bush hanged for war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely, yes, absolutely. So I lost the sale, but anyway, that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What do you sell at your store?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Women\u2019s accessories.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Can I walk in and get an African baby at your store? <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. No. No sorry.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the latest Hollywood accessory. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, absolutely. No. No. Don\u2019t go there. No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, you\u2019ve been here six months, I figured it was worth the risk to try the line with you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely. It worked great.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What kind of accessories?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Jewelry, purses, scarves, you know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, I get it. Okay. Well, you know what, you lost the sale, and you lost the sale technically because you had an idiot walk in.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, literally, but you lost the sale because of me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes. I\u2019m going to send you a huge bouquet of flowers from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proflowers.com\/landing1.aspx?pageid=localsearch&amp;REF=FGVSRCHgoogkwd_ca%20proflowers_b&amp;NoExitPopup=Y&amp;MATCHTYPE=search&amp;KEYWORD=ca%20proflowers_b&amp;ADTEXT=4076134839&amp;NETWORK=google&amp;city=CA\">ProFlowers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, that\u2019s wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, and I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s not necessary. I just wanted you &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know it\u2019s not necessary. When it\u2019s not necessary is when it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, that is so kind of you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I just thought you\u2019d appreciate the humor in that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I do. I love it. I\u2019m like you, I don\u2019t understand their being mad &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; and I don\u2019t want to live life that way myself &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; trying to understand irrationality with rationality. I mean, rational people cannot understand irrational people when you try. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, I need you to hold on because I need to get the address of your shop, not on the air, so we can send you the stuff, okay?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, thank you so very much.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You are welcome, Barbara. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I was thinking of giving Barbara a bonus gift in addition to the flowers. I was gonna give her an oil change from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgprod.com\/home.html\">BG Products<\/a>. I didn\u2019t have to do that, but what I am going to do is I\u2019m going to throw in five free stitches for the wound of her choice. The next time some angry liberal comes in and might harm her, if she has to go to the hospital, I\u2019ll pay for the first five stitches. I think that is a compassionate gift. It truly is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Barbara in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, welcome, thank you for holding on. You\u2019re on the EIB Network. CALLER: Hello.
