So I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a particularly smart thing for the president to do. And for him to make these statements about therapy for Gitmo prisoners, the fact of the matter is Gitmo is a country club compared to what the Democrats want to do and putting them in high security prisons here in this country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s what I wanted you to hear. This is a very partisan Democrat strategist, Julian Epstein, he was one of the Clintonistas back during the impeachment days, he also happens to be leading the Democrat fight against Zicam. More on that later. This is the guy with a lawyer group. It\u2019s very deceitful, this Zicam stuff, folks, someday I\u2019m going to be able to tell you the truth about this. What the FDA did yesterday regarding Zicam is unprecedented. The FDA has never done before what it did yesterday. This is a company being targeted for, let\u2019s face it, obvious reasons. But more on that later. Here we have Julian Epstein, huge Democrat strategist, saying the fact of the matter is, Gitmo is a country club compared to what the Democrats want to do in putting them in high security prisons here in this country. Now, that\u2019s just absurd. What Julian Epstein is admitting here is the Democrats have a problem, soft on crime, soft on terrorism, weak on national defense. So his strategery is to go out there say, hey, we\u2019re closing that place down because it was a country club, we\u2019re going to put \u2019em in some really tough places, like on the beach in Bermuda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Julian Epstein has appeared on an NBC cable channel this afternoon, Julian Epstein, Democrat strategerist, he spoke about President Bush criticizing Obama publicly last night on Guantanamo Bay and therapy for the inmates there.
