Columbus, Ohio: &#8221;I\u2019m tired of rallies. I want to fight!\u2019 So said Tim Burga, operations director of the Ohio AFL-CIO, addressing the hundreds who had braved the cold Feb. 20 to attend a &#8216;Pass It Now\u2019 rally for health care reform at the SEIU Local 1199 hall here.\u2019 In other words, Obama\u2019s number one supporters showed up, these union thugs, and they said: &#8216;We want to fight! We don\u2019t want any more rallies, we don\u2019t want any more speeches, we want to fight.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>&#8216;There was a sense of real urgency in the hall, as speaker after speaker pounded on the point that, as Brian Rothenberg of Progress Ohio stated, &#8216;We now have 6 weeks to win the fight our people have been fighting since the Truman administration: health care for all!&#8221; Exactly what I told you yesterday. It\u2019s the Lord of the Rings being played out right before our very eyes. &#8216;Becky Williams, president of SEIU, 1199, was interrupted by loud cheers as she led off the rally, telling the crowd, &#8216;We have three things to tell the administration and the majority in congress. One &#8212; we worked for and voted for change last year. That means actually changing what was there when you got there. Two &#8212; we need for you to lead with courage, not be intimidated by Fox News and Teabaggers. Three, don\u2019t be fooled by lies!\u2019 she said. &#8216;If you do these things we\u2019ll be with you, and the 66% of Americans who, according to polls are demanding that health care reform be passed.&#8221; That\u2019s a wrong number, union thugs. <\/p>\n<p>But look where we get the information, from the Communist Party USA. You don\u2019t get this from the State-Controlled Media. You get this from the Communist Party USA, and they\u2019re out there. Let me check something. Grab audio sound bite number 13. More union thug stuff here. This is last Friday in Los Angeles at the SEIU offices, Service Employees International Union, the same bunch of thugs demanding a fight, no more rallies in Ohio on the 20th of February. This is the Reform Immigration for America rally, Representative Xavier Becerra, Democrat, California, is in attendance, and an unidentified man, unidentified female rally leader have this exchange about how to start the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>MAN: Can we start this meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance? (laughing) No, I\u2019m serious, Congressman, shouldn\u2019t we say the Pledge of Allegiance if we all want to be citizens? Wouldn\u2019t that be appropriate to say the Pledge of Allegiance?<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Sure, of course.<\/p>\n<p>MAN: Okay, let\u2019s do that. Can everybody stand? I\u2019m happy to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Okay, let\u2019s go for it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If you see this, the room breaks out in laughter. And this congressman, Xavier Becerra, is laughing along with the rest of the crowd at the thought of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. They then say okay and they do it<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, here\u2019s that David &#8216;Rodham\u2019 Gergen sound bite I was looking for, and the reason I didn\u2019t find it is because I looked &#8212; now, never mind. It\u2019s a labeling thing. Anyway, this is on CNN\u2019s Situation Room last night, and Wolf Blitzer is talking to Gloria Borger and David &#8216;Rodham\u2019 Gergen about Obama\u2019s health reform bill, and Blitzer says, &#8216;It\u2019s unlikely to get the 60 votes to break a filibuster. They may not even be able to get 51 votes on this so-called reconciliation procedure. What are you hearing, Gloria from your sources?\u2019 which are just other people in the media.<\/p>\n<p>BORGER: Everybody feels like their back is to the wall. We have no choice but to get this done. I\u2019m told the president is going to refer to this as a, quote, starting document so that he can invite Republicans to join in and change the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: David, you\u2019re smiling. Why are you smiling?<\/p>\n<p>GERGEN: Because it\u2019s not a starting document. As the &#8212; they\u2019re putting it forward as the bill itself and you guys can come and make a few amendments, and the Republicans are saying, &#8216;Nonsense,\u2019 you know, &#8216;If you\u2019re serious about this, let\u2019s start over.\u2019 The president may have trouble getting this through the House if he &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>BORGER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>GERGEN: &#8212; goes to the reconciliation process. Rounding up the votes in the House is not going to be an easy task.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: David &#8216;Rodham\u2019 Gergen is right about that. Everybody is looking at the Senate here, and that\u2019s not the place to look anymore, because they likely can get 51 votes if they go reconciliation. I still think they\u2019re bluffing about that, but they might not be. But the House is where they\u2019re going to have real problems. That\u2019s where they\u2019re going to have problems. You got people like Heath Shuler, who, on a normal day has an IQ a little bit north of a pencil eraser, saying, why are they bringing it back? Can\u2019t we just let this die? These Blue Dogs don\u2019t want any part of this. And Newt had a good idea. Yes, Newt had a good idea. He said Obama says this is bipartisan, fine, Republicans ought to say you take three hours of this six-hour thing on Thursday and you give us three hours to run it ourselves, you run three and we\u2019ll run three. Of course Obama will reject that and out the door will go the notion of bipartisanship, which doesn\u2019t exist anyway. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.39917.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Just in from TheHill.com: &#8216;House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told his colleagues on Tuesday that Republicans plan to attend the president\u2019s high-profile healthcare summit this week in order to &#8216;crash the party.\u2019 According to a House GOP leadership aide familiar with [Boehner]\u2019s remarks at the weekly closed-door conference meeting, Boehner appealed to skeptical Republican lawmakers, saying, &#8216;We shouldn\u2019t let the White House have a six-hour taxpayer-funded infomercial on ObamaCare. We need to show up. We need to crash the party.\u2019 &#8230; Boehner explained that leaders are waiting for a response from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to a letter they sent earlier this month that asked a series of questions on the bipartisan summit. &#8216;It\u2019s our intent to be there on Thursday. We\u2019re waiting on a response and we\u2019re hopeful that we\u2019ll receive one soon,\u2019 Boehner explained.\u2019 I remember that letter. It was all about, &#8216;Sounds to me like you guys already have your minds made up here, that this is just a trick. Many of your own people, Rahm, are saying it\u2019s just a trick just to get us up there. Is this true?\u2019 They also sent the letter to Harry Reid and Pelosi. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The Heritage Foundation has weighed in on Obama\u2019s latest health care plan and the health care summit this Thursday. Now, you heard me yesterday if you were listening, you heard me give my idea of a health care plan on this program and you heard Stacy, our insurance woman from Georgia immediately review the Obama plan, she\u2019s the insurance guru here. Heritage calls this meeting on Thursday a press stunt, which it is. They said if it\u2019s truly a sham of a meeting conservatives ought to boycott the event and call it for what it is. But if they\u2019re going to go, if they\u2019re going to attend and the liberals are serious about bipartisan reform ideas, then Heritage has a whole bunch of them, and of course they always say that we never offer any ideas. Well, how about allowing Americans to buy health insurance anywhere in the country? How about opening up state insurance markets and forcing the nation\u2019s health insurance companies, 1300 of them out there, to compete directly for consumers\u2019 dollars without a bunch of state mandates getting in the way? That\u2019s what Heritage is thinking, and they got 101 other ideas all related to this press event on Thursday, good ideas for Americans, and they\u2019re born at Heritage every day. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Get this from State-Controlled Associated Press: &#8216;Outlook No Brighter for Obama\u2019s New Health Plan &#8212; Starting over on health care, President Barack Obama knows his chances aren\u2019t looking much more promising. A year after he called for a far-reaching overhaul, Obama unveiled his most detailed plan yet on Monday. Realistically, he\u2019s just hoping to win a big enough slice to silence the talk of a failing presidency.\u2019 Yeah, it\u2019s from State-Controlled Associated Press. And then Steny Hoyer is out there saying &#8212; how many times you going to hear this? &#8212; &#8216;Public option on healthcare likely dead.\u2019 Those union thugs who want to fight out there in Ohio are not going to be happy to hear about these two stories, my friends. And yet. Never mind. I\u2019m not going to say it again. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.90644.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Douglas Elmendorf, who runs the CBO, said that they can\u2019t score Obama\u2019s health care plan, there aren\u2019t enough details. &#8216;This morning the Obama Administration released a description of its health care proposal, and CBO has already received several requests to provide a cost estimate for that proposal. We had not previously received the proposal, and we have just begun the process of reviewing it &#8212; a process that will take some time, given the complexity of the issues involved,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. &#8216;Therefore, CBO cannot provide a cost estimate for the proposal without additional detail, and, even if such detail were provided, analyzing the proposal would be a time-consuming process that could not be completed this week.\u2019 Certainly not by Thursday and the summit. So they can\u2019t score it, yet Obama is out there, &#8216;Oh, yeah, it won\u2019t even cost a trillion. It\u2019s not going to add to the deficit.\u2019 The CBO guy is taking a big risk here by authoring this himself. <\/p>\n<p>Now, the dirty little secret is, my friends, that it\u2019s not an accident that Obama\u2019s plan does not provide the CBO either the detail or the time to give a cost estimate. See, that way Obama can continue to pretend that his $1 trillion plan doesn\u2019t raise the deficit. (laughing) I can\u2019t believe I said that. After all, remember, Obama promised during his address to a joint session of Congress back in September, &#8216;I won\u2019t sign any health care legislation if it adds one dime to the deficit now or in the future.\u2019 That\u2019s the same speech during which Congressman Joe Wilson got into so much trouble for blurting out &#8216;You lie.\u2019 And yet the president continues to do just that. I mean this is not even a plan. It\u2019s just another phony promise, typical Obama, still out there hustling hope and change. <\/p>\n<p>Imagine this. Imagine, ladies and gentlemen, a new business asking a bank for a loan and submitting a plan without a budget that extends at least three years out. A banker would throw you out of his office, especially now. Obama has submitted talking points. He\u2019s calling these talking points a plan. The private sector would never stand for this, couldn\u2019t get away with it. The president wanted to say he had a plan like all the other guys wearing big boy pants and there was one guy out there saying, &#8216;Mr. President, where is your plan?\u2019 He doesn\u2019t have a plan. So I think it\u2019s safe to say I can take blame for Obama presenting this thing. There\u2019s nothing to discuss. Obama has once again embarrassed himself. I don\u2019t know who\u2019s advising this guy. He\u2019s an agitator without experience or a compass. He\u2019s not grounded in reality and he doesn\u2019t have a plan, specifically. We know what the objective is. It\u2019s to take over the economy, health care particularly, for all of the reasons that we\u2019ve stated, time in and time out. <\/p>\n<p>Now, here from CNNmoney.com is a story about how Obama wants to pay for health reform and basically it\u2019s tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. I was going through this, picking out certain really offensive nuggets, but I gave up because the bottom line in this entire approach is sick, and I mean in a twisted, hubristic way of a special sickness. This comes at the health insurance question from the perspective of refusing to recognize the sovereignty of the individual vis-a-vis the state. And what\u2019s worse, none of this is gonna work. It will never be possible to tax our way to deficit reduction. The money will be spent faster than the Bam gang could ever hope to have it come in, and what\u2019s even more sick is they know this and they stand there and they just lie and lie and lie about it. If Obama gets his way, a freely born American cannot even refuse the government\u2019s help without being taxed. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll share with you as far as I got excerpting this. Headline: &#8216;How Obama Wants to Pay for Health Reform &#8212; Many of the changes the proposal calls for aren\u2019t free. Obama proposes to pay for the additional burden on the federal coffers in several ways. Among those that would have a direct bearing on individuals and businesses, he would: Tax high-cost medical plans &#8230; Increase Medicare tax on high-income households &#8230; Require insurance coverage. He would impose a financial penalty on most Americans who don\u2019t buy health insurance. &#8230; Require employers to pay if they don\u2019t provide coverage. &#8230; Impose new fees on the health industry. &#8230; Trim various health-related tax breaks.\u2019 I mean, it\u2019s a tax bill, what he\u2019s proposed here, and it always has been. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I have this in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers from the Communist Party USA\u2019s People\u2019s World, formerly the Daily Worker.
