RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the White House is on defense, totally on defense. They are disheveled; they are unraveling; they are becoming unhinged. Secret deals with Big Pharma have been uncovered. This upsets the left. And they are starting in the White House now to replicate the failed attempts by Bill Clinton to get rid of me. It\u2019s Friday. Let\u2019s roll.<\/p>\n

JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Friday, baby, Friday. Open Line Friday on the EIB Network, And that means that when we go to the phones the content of the show is all up to you. Monday through Thursday, I determine what we talk about because I don\u2019t want to be bored. A household name in every corner of the world, Rush Limbaugh here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, a place where there is no fear of standing up for the United States of America. <\/p>\n

All right, let\u2019s just get right to it. ABC News, Brian Ross, Good Morning America today, here is a montage.<\/p>\n

ROSS: It\u2019s been a very ugly week as the rhetoric about the president and the threats against him have deeply worried the people who track this country\u2019s hate groups. The contentious debate over health care has helped to bring the vitriol into the open. Rush Limbaugh compared a logo for the plan to a Nazi symbol.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo.<\/p>\n

ROSS: And the Internet is full of references to the president as Hitler or as a socialist or as a racist. To date, the Secret Service has disrupted at least three different assassination plots tied to white supremacist groups. In a new report, the Southern Poverty Law Center says that since Obama took office, there has been a sharp growth in the so-called militia groups.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is 100% total manufactured BS. It all comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center and a guy named Mark Potok. I don\u2019t know how to pronounce his name but Mark Potok is the head of the Southern Poverty Law Center\u2019s intelligence project. He\u2019s a columnist at the Huffington Post. He is the source of all of these hate crime stories, and he has been for years. There is also an article at ABC posted by Brian Ross on their website. Much of this article has been dutifully spouted almost word-for-word in literally dozens of articles generated by Mr. Potok from the Southern Poverty Law Center. They only differ, really, in citing contemporary details to make the story seem fresh, but they\u2019re ultimately the same claims that Potok has been making from the start. If you Google ‘Potok\u2019 and ‘hate\u2019 and ‘racism,\u2019 it returns 21,600 hits. This guy has been trying to gin this up since before Obama was inaugurated. In fact, even since before Obama was elected. This whole thing is calculated to divide and distract. It indicates just how unhinged and out of whack the White House is on this. <\/p>\n

This story is likely a White House plant just as the little girl who asked Obama the softball question in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The sad thing is I predicted all of this. It\u2019s despicable. The race card is being played because Obama\u2019s facing opposition to his plan to seize one-sixth of the American economy. This is an intentional effort to divide the country. This is community national agitating at its worst. This is all that Obama, a community agitator, knows. Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Brian Ross, Nancy Pelosi said the town hall attendees were Nazis. Where are the stories? The White House is gathering an enemies list. People are getting e-mails from David Axelrod and they don\u2019t know how he got their address. It\u2019s the snitch website. Do you people understand what\u2019s happening? People are sending in stories and e-mails, if you\u2019re getting an e-mail from Axelrod and the White House, I guarantee you it\u2019s a result of the snitch website. <\/line><\/line>The White House is clearly out of whack. Where\u2019s the outrage over this in the State-Run Media? Nancy Pelosi said town haul attendees were Nazis. Dick Durbin called our interrogators at Gitmo Nazis. Rahm Emanuel\u2019s brother has been an advocate of death panels. He\u2019s advising the White House. They say there are no death panels, and yet the Senate removed the death panels from their bill. How could there have been no death panels if they removed them in the first place? They had to be there in order to be removed. Where\u2019s the outrage? The American people are legitimately outraged about what is being planned here, and this is how they are treated. Rising militia groups, rising hate crimes, white supremacists, worried about doing harm to Obama, and then in advance trying to link me to it. This is Jeremiah Wright. I predicted this. I said Obama was going to spark race problems when anybody disagreed with whatever his policy was, the people that defend him are going to come out and say it\u2019s all based on race. It\u2019s all happening. <\/line><\/line>This is like the snitch website at the White House. It\u2019s meant to have a chilling effect on free speech, but neither the American people nor I will be intimidated. They know why they oppose Obama\u2019s health care, and these efforts here to make every one of these town hall attendees a potential assassin and part of a militia or part of a white supremacist group is despicable, it is shameful. This is 2009. And this is also the EIB Network, a place where there is no fear of standing up for the United States of America. Now, let\u2019s go back to Good Morning America today. Here\u2019s a portion of the report by Brian Ross. This portion begins with Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who is the source for all of these claims made in Brian Ross\u2019s report at Good Morning America.<\/line><\/p>\n

POTOK: I think that the president has, in effect, triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.<\/p>\n

ROSS: Officials tell my colleague Pierre Thomas at ABC News that the president\u2019s daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats. But White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if the president himself objects.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, Brian. You just said here that the president\u2019s daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats, then why the story? Why the story? Why even do this if the White House says there\u2019s no increase in threats? And how do we tabulate threats anyway? And, by the way, where was all this reporting when there were books on how to assassinate George W. Bush, when there was a movie about the assassination of George W. Bush? Where was all this concern, Mr. Ross? Where were all the reports on the wacko leftist groups who wanted Bush dead and who were actively out there saying so and describing how to do it? Where were your reports then? This is straight out of the playbook. They don\u2019t change. They\u2019re just recycling everything because they\u2019re in a state of panic. They are losing their signature issue. They are losing the American people. <\/p>\n

So now after attacking the American people via these town hall meetings, calling them unruly mobs, now let\u2019s go to the mat even further and let\u2019s say they\u2019re potential assassins. Then let\u2019s add to it just because he\u2019s black, people want their country back. Remember, it was Howard Dean, Brian, and Mr. Potok, all through 2004 who was running around saying we want our country back. ‘I want my country back! This is not Rush Limbaugh\u2019s country. It\u2019s not Rush Limbaugh\u2019s flag. We want our country back.\u2019 This is absolutely despicable what these people are trying to do in advance, and let\u2019s go back. This is April 24th, 1995, in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

CLINTON: We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other. They spread hate. They leave the impression that by their very words, that violence is acceptable. You ought to see — I\u2019m sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today. It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In 1995, President Bill Clinton attempting to blame me for the bombing at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Today, ABC News and Brian Ross, stenographer for Mark Potok at the Southern Poverty Law Center and Rahm Emanuel now set it up that if Obama is harmed, it\u2019s my fault. I seem to remember all this talk before the immaculation of unity and post partisanship and a new era of love and togetherness that would be this country as a result of President Obama\u2019s election. I remember all of the hope and all of the goodwill that the red states and the blue states would come together and all become pink, and we wouldn\u2019t know the difference from one to another. And now look where we are. We have the president of the United States and his henchmen attacking ordinary, everyday Americans as an unruly mob, as Nazis, as white supremacists, as racists. This is coming, from the White House that was going to unify this country, and dutifully, falling right in line, the dupes at state-controlled ABC and Brian Ross. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go through this story paragraph by paragraph. The Secret Service are investigating a Maryland man who held a sign reading ‘death to Obama and death to Michelle and her two stupid kids\u2019 outside a town hall meeting this week. In New Hampshire, another man stood across the street from a presidential town hall with a gun on full display. The Secret Service ought to be investigating this stuff, just like when Bush was president. This is nothing compared to what Bush faced, and where was the concern then? Journalists loved it when the Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at George W. Bush. They were disappointed it didn\u2019t hit him. They loved every movie and book filled with hate about George W. Bush, and they told us that we must respect the art that was contained in every book and movie about the assassination of George W. Bush. <\/p>\n

‘Los Angeles police officers apprehended a man Thursday after a standoff with him inside a red Volkswagen bug car in Westwood, California. The latest disturbing case, even though officials said the man had mental problems.\u2019 Yeah, union thugs are beating up Americans at town halls. Where are those stories, Mr. Ross? The American people don\u2019t have the Secret Service to protect \u2019em. Now, the article just cited a case of a mentally disturbed man. But look at the next sentence. ‘I don\u2019t think these are people simply who are mentally ill or off their rocker,\u2019 said Mark Potok. In ABC\u2019s own story they quote officials as saying the guy in Westwood was mentally disturbed and then they go right to this Southern Poverty Law Center guy, ‘I don\u2019t think these are simply people who are mentally ill or off their rocker. In a very real sense they represent a genuine reaction, a genuine backlash against Obama.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s.\u2019 What experts? Are they the same experts you cite on the economy that are constantly surprised no matter what the news? There is one source for all this, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mark Potok in this case, and ABC News and Brian Ross simply took the dictation. Here\u2019s this paragraph. ‘Garrett, former FBI agent, said statements like one recently made by Rush Limbaugh comparing logo for the White House plan to a Nazi symbol ‘legitimizes people who are on the edge to go do something or say something.” What about Pelosi? What about who started all this? Where is the reporting of Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, third in line to the White House, third in line to the presidency, calling half the people in this country Nazis? Let\u2019s not forget who started this. Now, grab audio sound bite number two again. I want to make one more comment about this before we go to our first obscene profit time-out.<\/p>\n

POTOK: I think that the president has, in effect, triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.<\/p>\n

ROSS: Officials tell my colleague Pierre Thomas at ABC News that the president\u2019s daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats. But White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if the president himself objects.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, there\u2019s no increase in the threat matrix. Why, then, if they\u2019re so frightened are they sending him out to so many public places? There are all kinds of ways to reach the American people. Why send him out there? If they\u2019re this concerned, if they\u2019ve got one of their State-Run Media organs now putting on television and on the website they fear the assassination of this president, why are they putting him out there, then? Stop and think about that. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One other thing about this, ladies and gentlemen. I don\u2019t get their point, either — either the White House\u2019s point or ABCs point or this guy from the Southern Poverty Law Center. It\u2019s utterly illogical. They say what I did — I compared an Obama logo, an Obama insignia to a 1930s insignia that the Nazis used — and in making that comparison, they say I\u2019m calling Obama a Nazi and therefore Nazi sympathizers are…what? Threatening him because of this? How does that make any sense whatsoever as a simple matter of logic? I compare a Nazi logo to an Obama health care logo… That would cause Nazi sympathizers to be upset with me, not Obama. It is I who\u2019s denouncing all of this. Brian Ross also played a role in helping Pelosi become speaker a few years back with Mark Foley, don\u2019t forget. <\/p>\n

He was spoon-fed information, held it back until the most critical time in the 2006 elections. He ought to actually try reporting rather than repeating, because that\u2019s what Brian Ross is becoming known for is repeating things that certain Democrats and liberals tell him. But I want to know how it is, when I take an Obama logo and say, ‘Wow, that looks like something I\u2019ve seen from the thirties, from Nazi Germany,\u2019 how in the world does that rev up Nazis and sympathizers in this country to be mad at Obama? They\u2019d be mad at me. So they\u2019re just grasping. They\u2019re reaching at straws, folks, grasping at straws. They are desperate to make this about anything other than Obama and the debacle that this health care plan has become. What\u2019s also amazing about this, if I may say this, is this is a play from their playbook. As you heard, Clinton tried this in 1994. <\/p>\n

The Democrat Party has tried to make me the issue. They have tried to demonize and villainize me since I have been behind the Golden EIB Microphone. They distorted my comments and actions about Michael J. Fox in the Claire McCaskill commercials. They have distorted me on this. They distorted me on Bill Clinton and so forth. It never works. I\u2019m still here. Clinton\u2019s reduced to making speeches to the netroots convention in Pittsburgh yesterday. I am still here. Hillary is in Africa. I am still here. My audience is larger than ever. What do they think they\u2019re gaining here? It\u2019s typical for them because they have no other way to go. They cannot stand behind the goodness of their ideas because there isn\u2019t much. They can\u2019t stand behind the honesty of what they\u2019re trying because they can\u2019t be. So they are cornered. <\/p>\n

Now they\u2019re sending out e-mails to innocent Americans from the White House, Joe Axelrod — or David Axelrod. I\u2019m sorry. I keep calling him ‘Joe\u2019 because a friend of mine used to run the Kansas City Kings basketball team named Joe Axelson. So I\u2019ve had that on my mind. David Axelrod. People are saying, ‘I didn\u2019t send the White House an e-mail. How did he get my address?\u2019 What do you think the snitch website is all about? These people are in a corner. They saw a crisis. They saw an opportunity in the crisis. They rely on the power of the ‘gift\u2019 of personality that Obama has, and it\u2019s not helping them. It\u2019s hurting them, because Obama is detached from reality. He doesn\u2019t speak about specifics. <\/p>\n

Sarah Palin comes out and says, ‘There are death panels in this bill,\u2019 and that really got Obama because he had to quote her and say, ‘Oh, there are people who say there\u2019s death panels in this bill. How can that be?\u2019 Remember, folks: We don\u2019t treat the healthy. We cannot save money by cutting back on what we spend on the healthy because we don\u2019t spend anything on the healthy. We only spend money on the sick, and if we\u2019re going to cut costs that means we\u2019re going to have to stop spending as much as we do on the sick, and that\u2019s the elderly. If there aren\u2019t death panels in here, I\u2019ll guaran-damn-tee you there are not life panels! But there are and were, death panels in it because the Senate has announced, ‘We\u2019re going to pull \u2019em out. We\u2019re going to get rid of all that stuff.\u2019 So they were there. They are cornered. So we\u2019ve got \u2019em. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look what I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, from November 15th of last year, state-controlled Associated Press, headline: ‘Obama Has More Threats Than Any Other President-Elect — Threats against a new president historically spike right after an election, but from Maine to Idaho law enforcement officials are seeing more against Barack Obama than ever before,\u2019 and guess who the source is? Mark Potok, Southern Poverty Law Center! Saturday, November 15th, 2008: ‘Obama Has More Threats Than Any Other President-Elect.\u2019 This guy has a fetish! This guy has a single-minded focus and purpose on this. <\/p>\n

‘It is not surprising that a black president would galvanize the white supremacist movement, said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who studies the white supremacy movement.\u2019 So he was trying to gin this up last November, and he got the Associated Press to run with it. He got Brian Ross to repeat it today on ABC\u2019s website and Good Morning America. Now, let me just say something here and then I\u2019ll go to more audio sound bites. There is no bigger supporter of Israel than me. Not Obama. Me! The Jew haters, the anti-Semites, they\u2019re not part of my circle. They\u2019re not part of my life. I don\u2019t run around with anti-Semites. I don\u2019t run around with people that don\u2019t like Jews or hate Israel. <\/p>\n

It was Obama who surrounded himself with such people — and I never heard one word from Brian Ross or the Southern Poverty Law Center about Khalidi or Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers or any of the rest of them. As a matter of our own foreign policy, it is not I who urged dealings with the Islamo-Nazi regime in Iran. It\u2019s not I who insist that Israel make itself weaker to appease Hamas and Hezbollah. It is Obama doing all of this. It is not I who\u2019s putting the shoulder on Israel comparing the Holocaust to the Israelis defending themselves against missiles hitting their cities from Gaza. That would be Obama who did that. It is Obama who compared the Holocaust to the Israelis defending themselves with defense missiles launched from Gaza. It is Obama who has surrounded himself with anti-Semites and anti-Israel people for all of his life. Not me. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question, ladies and gentlemen. If someone ran an intelligence project like at the Southern Poverty Law Center that actually went out there and researched and identified an increased threat level to the president of the United States, and if one\u2019s objective were to help the president avoid such threats, rather than one\u2019s objective being something else, like fundraising, publicity seeking, libeling opponents, whatever, what would you do? If you were out there really researching death threats, and you find an increased threat level to the president, what would you do? You would quietly call the Secret Service. You would quietly pass along whatever information you had developed. You would not go public with it because that would tend to incite and create copycat behavior. You would be quiet about it. Damn right I\u2019m questioning the motives of the Southern Poverty Law Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
