RUSH: Brian from New Jersey, on the way to DC. Welcome to the program, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, how are you doing? We\u2019re here now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you made it. Good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, pretty good. I want to know where else you can get a Puerto Rican and Irish guy, middle class who are union members, right-wing extremist tea partiers here to protest a lot of white liberals. What are we, rapists?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Let me see I get this straight. You have a Puerto Rican-Irish guy, you got a middle class union members right-wing extremist tea partiers. So you got a cross section, an ethnic cross section there protesting a lot of white liberals?<\/p>\n

CALLER: A lot of white liberals, yeah. Seems like there\u2019s two and a half white people that are —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that pretty much sums this up. It is white liberals that are being protested. You are exactly right!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. This is our 15th tea party. We come down here. We have a website. We come down and get some video and stuff like that and we just try to get the word out, and we protest a lot of white liberals that are spending us into oblivion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That they are. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I thought we were going to get pulled over for a while because this federal officer was following us and we have this ‘Idiots for Obama\u2019 sticker on the back of our car, but he turned away. We were like, ‘Thank God.\u2019 We thought we were going to get pulled over by a federal agent trying to look for a parking spot down here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. You were driving in and you have an Obama sticker on the back of your car?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. It\u2019s IdiotsforObama.com. We\u2019re not shy about it. You know, we\u2019re here. We\u2019re not cowards. We\u2019re here to protest. You know, what\u2019s the truth? I think Obama supporters are idiots.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. But you didn\u2019t get pulled over?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, he followed us for about a block, and I\u2019m like sitting here nervous going, ‘Oh, should we make a left, should we make a right, or keep going straight,\u2019 and then the cop pulled off to the left because we heard rumors they were pulling over people with any Obama stickers on their cars.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What does your Obama sticker say, then?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It says IdiotsforObama.com on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s just a website that lets people… You know, it\u2019s just a website that lets… It\u2019s all the truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I\u2019m trying to put myself in the seat of the federal agent following you for the block. He sees on your bumper the bumper sticker ‘IdiotsforObama.com\u2019 and he\u2019s gotta be thinking, ‘Is the guy inside the car saying he\u2019s an idiot for Obama?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: ”Cause otherwise why would he put the sticker on his car?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no, because it was a Web address. It\u2019s right next to my union sticker, my local number, you know? It\u2019s right next to my union identification. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m sure the federal agent had to be confused: Idiots for Obama next to a union sticker. What kind of car you driving?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s a big SUV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh-ho-ho.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I put all the carbon I can possible put coming here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Man, oh, man! They didn\u2019t know what to do with you. That\u2019s why they gave up after a block.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He was driving an SUV police vehicle.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s okay. The regime can do that. The regime has no restrictions on what they drive.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, hypocrites.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you\u2019re at the tea party now? How many people would you say were there? Take a wild guess.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right now there\u2019s tens of thousands. When I was here last September it was definitely over a million. But this is only the first part. There\u2019s another part down by the monument at five o\u2019clock and on Capitol Hill four o\u2019clock. There\u2019s going to be different ones. They seemed like they broke it up this year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Where before it was just everybody met at one spot and marched all the way up to the Hill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, have fun. Have fun out there as you protest.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s going to be a fun day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can tell. Have fun as you\u2019re out there protesting white liberals. (laughing) What a great way to put it. I mean, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Derek in California. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ruuuush! Mega dittos from your adopted hometown of Sacramento.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, listened to you for 20-some years here. Just want to clarify something on your being, what, 98, 99% right at a time? <\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Almost always 99.6%.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: There you go. Well, I\u2019m the small portion which you\u2019re wrong about, and that\u2019s I\u2019m here at my second tea party. I\u2019m going to visit a lot of my fellow state employees at the tea party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. That\u2019s wonderful news. But where am I wrong?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Heh. Well, sometimes you take public employees and whatnot don\u2019t believe in the problems that we\u2019re having with government.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. Public employee union leaders. It\u2019s your leaders and your state people mismanaging your pension, not you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh yeah. That\u2019s why I left my union several years ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I\u2019m fully aware that rank-and-file union people government and outside have a diversity of ideological membership. I\u2019m not surprised here that there are state workers in tea parties around the country. Not at all. <\/p>\n

Tommy in Chicago, you\u2019re next. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I just got back from a tea party down here in Chicago downtown. It was phenomenal. They had one guy stirring up the crowd. He was like an infiltrator, walking around with (of all things) an ‘Arrest Bush\u2019 sign. Every time he went somewhere and got in someone\u2019s face the network cameras were right there to cause trouble and they were taking a picture of him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What a dumb infiltrator.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They focused on him. I couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I totally believe it. What they were hoping for is that one of you in the crowd would sock the guy, take him out, punch him in the nose or something. That\u2019s what they were hoping you would do. What an idiot infiltrate rarity. ‘Arrest Bush\u2019? The sign ought to be ‘Arrest Obama\u2019. Arrest Obama would theoretically accomplish their mission and that would be to incite the tea party people into all kind of hysterical agreement with the guy. Arrest Bush? That\u2019s a direct, front-face provocation. Everybody in the tea party is looking out for this stuff today. It doesn\u2019t appear — we\u2019re still early in the day, we have to admit this, but it doesn\u2019t appear yet — that there have been a whole lot of news making infiltrators at these tea party events but that doesn\u2019t mean it did happen and remember it doesn\u2019t have to happen to be reported. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned that. There were no racial epithets thrown at black congressmen walking to the Capitol on Obamacare Sunday, and yet it happened. It was reported as to it happened! So keep a sharp eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
