It\u2019s Hardball with Chris Matthews last night. David Plouffe, the former Obama campaign manager. By the way, you know, Plouffe\u2019s all over the place because he got a book out there, and I think book sale numbers hit today. We\u2019ll see. Have you heard what the Huffington Post wants to do? The Huffington Post wants a separate conservative nonfiction book list, because conservatives are dominating the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list. They\u2019re actually suggesting that they bifurcate the best-seller list and give the conservatives their own, \u2019cause you have Levin scorching everybody out there with his book. You got Palin coming up, who\u2019s gonna explode. I just got my advanced powerful, influential-member-of-the-media copy of that book today. We have Beck with his books out there, Hannity and his books, my brother has his books, Andy McCarthy\u2019s got a book coming out and all these conservative books dominate and so the Huff Post, the Huffing and Puffington Post wants the New York Times to have their own separate conservative best-seller list. (laughing) These are the people of unity! (interruption) I have no idea when I\u2019m going to do another book, Snerdley. I really don\u2019t. You gotta listen to Plouffe, though, because time is running out here and Matthews asks Plouffe, &#8216;The White House, they keep saying Limbaugh\u2019s running the party. Is that a strategy, or is it just day-to-day tactics?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"203\" class=\"alignright\"\/>PLOUFFE: I just think it\u2019s a reality. The truth is that the Palin-Limbaugh-Beck wing of the party are calling many of the shots now. They purged a moderate woman out of that race in New York last week. I think they\u2019re not going to stop there, and I think there\u2019s plenty of Republicans outside of Washington &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Stop the tape! &#8216;They\u2019re not going to stop there.\u2019 &#8216;They purged a moderate woman out of that race in New York&#8230;\u2019 Palin and I! (laughing) Yeah, we went over there and we\u2019re not going to stop there we went on a rampage, folks! (laughing) We\u2019re tearing across the country and we\u2019re ripping the heart out of moderate Republican RINOs. (laughing) I love it! If they are so afraid of us, if they think we\u2019re such guaranteed losers they should be advocating this. Here\u2019s the rest of what Plouffe said.<\/p>\n<p>PLOUFFE: &#8212; that seem intent on trying to come up with solutions.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: Yumph!<\/p>\n<p>PLOUFFE: But Boehner and McConnell, they don\u2019t dare cross that wing of the party, and so that\u2019s where the energy is. Uh, and I think that\u2019s really what the American people are faced with: A Republican Party that either doesn\u2019t want to cooperate because of politics not principle, or they\u2019re largely just offering warmed-over Bush policies which have been soundly rejected.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: These people, I tell you&#8230; We are Satan! We are the enemies. The American people are faced with a Republican Party that&#8230; If we\u2019re such a minority, Mr. Plouffe, you ought to be celebrating out there. You ought to be happy. We\u2019re turning the party into this little minor, insignificant, minority-status party. Why, you ought to be happy about that! What in the world could be wrong with that from your perspective, I wonder. Hmmm?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, folks, David Plouffe&#8230; David Plouffe is worried about me and Sarah Palin traveling around the country purging the Republican Party of these moderate RINOs. That\u2019s not what they\u2019re worried about, me and Palin purging. Let me tell you what Plouffe, Obama, Pelosi &#8212; let me tell you what they\u2019re worried about. They are worried that I am going to purge the Blue Dogs. They\u2019re worried that I\u2019m going to knock the Blue Dogs off and get them to vote against health care in the final analysis when it happens, Blue Dog Senate Democrats and so forth. They\u2019re afraid of Blue Dogs losing elections next November. They\u2019re not afraid. They\u2019re not afraid&#8230; In fact, they would love if this party were taken over fully by RINOs. They\u2019d be in perpetual power, the Democrats would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is just delightful. It\u2019s Hardball with Chris Matthews last night.
