RUSH: As usual, to the left Christine O\u2019Donnell represents an opportunity for them to focus on narratives and templates that they use to identify conservatives as nutcases and freaks. So in this bite, you\u2019re gonna hear Wolf Blitzer focus on evolution. Now, it\u2019s an article of faith with the left that there is no creation. There\u2019s no intelligent design. We\u2019re all here, essentially, by accident. Big Bang, and we\u2019ve all just evolved, and anybody he doesn\u2019t think that — in the playbook, anybody who doesn\u2019t think that — is an absolute certifiable nutcase. So listen to the first sound bite here at the University of Delaware between the Marxist bearded guy Chris Coons and Christine O\u2019Donnell. Wolf Blitzer says, ‘In a TV appearance back in 1988 on Bill Maher\u2019s show you said evolution is a myth. Do you believe evolution\u2019s a myth?\u2019<\/line><\/line>O\u2019DONNELL: I was talking about what a local school taught, and that should be decided by the local community. But please let me respond to what he just said —<\/line><\/p>\n

BLITZER: We will let you respond, but answer the question. Do you believe evolution is a myth?<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Local schools should make that decision. I made that remark based on —<\/p>\n

BLITZER: But what do you — what do you believe?<\/p>\n

KARIBJANIAN: What do you believe?<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: What I believe is irrelevant.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Why is it irrelevant?<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Because what I support —<\/p>\n

BLITZER: The voters want to know what you think.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: What I will support in Washington, DC, is the ability for the local school system to decide what is taught in their classrooms, and what I was talking about on that show was a classroom that was not allowed to teach creationism as an equal theory as evolution. That is against their constitutional rights, and that is an overreaching arm of the government.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you hear Blitzer here: ‘Well, I want you to answer the question! What do you think about evolution? What do you think about evolution? The voters want to know what you think about evolution! Voters care, voters want to know!\u2019 Wolf, you know what the voters care about… You\u2019d be working a different network if you cared what the voter\u2019s cared about. Wolf, you\u2019d have a different job if you knew what the voters cared about. You\u2019d have higher ratings, Wolf, if you knew what voters cared about. You\u2019d actually have an audience, Wolf, if you knew what voters cared about. They don\u2019t care right now about what somebody thinks about evolution. They want jobs, Wolf, and they\u2019re tired of government getting so big! But this is one of these… I\u2019m having a mental block on what evolution is. It\u2019s one of these things that engenders a knee-jerk reaction to these people. Ann Coulter calls it a ‘heckling point.\u2019 It\u2019s a way for them to heckle and to try to portray right-wingers as kooks, which is what they think in the first place. So that\u2019s the answer, and I thought she parried it pretty well. Blitzer is forcing her to explain her beliefs in evolution, and she persisted and insisted and triumphed at explaining what she was talking about: In essence, the context. So after endless questioning on her past statements, she then nailed Coons on the ‘bearded Marxist\u2019 article.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: He said these statements that we made should be taken into consideration when casting your vote. So then I would be remiss not to bring up the fact that my opponent has recently said that it was studying under a Marxist professor that made him become a Democrat. So when you look at his position on things like raising taxes — which is one of the tenets of Marxism — not supporting eliminating the death tax — which is a tenet of Marxism — I would argue that there are more people who support my Catholic faith than his Marxist beliefs. And I\u2019m using —<\/p>\n

KARIBJANIAN: Well, let him clarify!<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: — his own words.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘L-l-l-l-et him clarify! L-l-l-l-et him clarify! L-l-l-l-et him clarify!\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m using his own words.\u2019<\/p>\n

She\u2019s making a point. If you want to bring up the fact that I made a joke about dabbling in witchcraft on a comedy show way back then, well, it certainly is right to focus on this bearded Marxist and saying that a communist professor is what inspired him to become a Democrat, which I thought was pretty clever. Chris Coons ‘clarified.\u2019<\/p>\n

COONS: There was a group of folks who I had shared a room with, my roommates junior year, who were in the Young Republican Club and who thought when I returned from Kenya and registered as a Democrat that doing so was proof that I\u2019d gone all the way over to the far left end. And so they jokingly called me ‘a bearded Marxist.\u2019 If you take five minutes and read the article it\u2019s clear on the face of it, it was a joke. Despite that my opponent and lots of folks in the right wing media have endlessly spun this. I am not now nor have I ever been anything but (snickering) a clean-shaven capitalist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s probably the first time he\u2019s said that. So then he comes out, says like Joe Manchin in West Virginia, ‘Hey, I\u2019m a Reagan Republican.\u2019 Well, Coons may have shaved his beard, but he has shaved off his Marxism and just because he wants to sit there and call him a capitalist doesn\u2019t make it so. So he was put on the defensive. He had to finally explain this. The bottom line is it was a wacko professor, a Marxist professor that inspired him to become a Democrat. After Coons tried to say his ‘bearded Marxist\u2019 article was a joke, here\u2019s what Christine O\u2019Donnell said…<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: If you\u2019re saying what I said on a comedy show is relevant to this election, then absolutely you writing an article — forget the ‘bearded Marxist\u2019 comment, you writing an article —<\/p>\n

COONS: Here\u2019s the point —<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: — saying that you learned your beliefs from ‘an articulate, intelligent Marxist professor,\u2019 and that\u2019s what made you become a Democrat, that should send chills up the spine of every Delaware voter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So she comes right back at him, and the whole room… Well, Wolf Blitzer and the female moderator lined up against her as well as Coons. I thought she had a decent presence and a great presence of mind, and from these bites — I didn\u2019t see it, but from these bites — it doesn\u2019t sound like she was talked off her game. And she got her digs in, and she said things about Coons that the media will not, and she asked questions about Coons that the media won\u2019t, and she would not allow the media to paper over things about Coons that the media would paper over. So people learned some things about Coons that they otherwise wouldn\u2019t know because the media in Delaware will not tell them. So, all in all, from what I\u2019ve heard so far it\u2019s pretty good. We have lots more to go on this. One more. Let\u2019s see, da-da-da-da. What was that? That was number seven? I\u2019ve already put it back in the stack. Seven\u2019s coming up. Seven\u2019s… All right. Right. So Coons answers the question during the debate: ‘Why should the voters of Delaware trust a Democrat this time around?\u2019 And now the moderator, Nancy Karibjanian, ‘Ms. O\u2019Donnell, you have one minute for a rebuttal here.\u2019<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Unemployment here in New Castle County rose, almost doubled in the last two years under his watch as New Castle county executive. … [H]e will continue to rubber-stamp the spending policies coming from Washington. We were promised that the stimulus bill would create jobs. But instead it cost us 2.6 million jobs. We were promised that it would keep unemployment at 8%, but instead we see unemployment at 9.7%. The Democrats are bragging that unemployment has leveled out, but while unemployment has leveled out, more people than ever are on food stamps and our welfare spending is higher than ever. This is not the right move. This is not a move towards real economic recovery. This is a move towards creating a culture of dependency.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I got no problem with that. You have any problem with that, Snerdley? I don\u2019t see any problem with that. The reason I\u2019m reacting this way is I\u2019m reading some e-mail and people are saying, ‘Ahhhhh, she didn\u2019t do her a whole lot of good but she really didn\u2019t get hurt, either.\u2019 So I\u2019m balancing what people\u2019s opinions is of the debate as they\u2019ve expressed them to me versus what I am hearing because I didn\u2019t see it myself last night. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know, I know, I know. I got 15 e-mails I\u2019m trying to answer here. I got a DirecTV receiver at home that\u2019s not working, that somebody needs some input on so they can fix. Look, folks, we multitask here. We do all kinds of things on this program behind the scenes that you never hear. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to tell you something about this Christine O\u2019Donnell and Chris Coons debate. By the way, this Chris Coons guy has a diary at the Daily Kos website, which is left-wing kookville. He runs around out there and he wants to talk about how he now is a free-market capitalist? That\u2019s a bunch of bohunk. This guy is a bearded Marxist without the beard. He may have shaved the beard; he hasn\u2019t shaved the Marxism. You know what I\u2019ll bet you? Do you remember after Christine O\u2019Donnell — even before she won the primary, but even afterwards — all the erudite elites on our side who were wringing their hands together? ‘Oh, no! Oh, no! There goes the Republican majority, Christine O\u2019Donnell. We had to have Mike Castle. We had to have Mike Castle. We had to have a RINO.\u2019<\/p>\n

And then Mike Murphy, Georgetown political consultant said, ‘Okay! Okay, you guys,\u2019 speaking to people like me and you, ‘You know how to win elections. You go in there and you move to Delaware. You run her campaign. Sarah Palin, you know how to do this, you go in there run her campaign.\u2019 All right. So she had her first debate last night. I\u2019m hearing this for the first time. I didn\u2019t watch the show. I\u2019m impressed. I think this is good. I think she\u2019s quite good, what I\u2019ve heard so far. You know what I will bet you? I will bet you that there are some on our side in the blogosphere, the media, so forth, who probably think the same thing — that were not O\u2019Donnell people going in who think she won this thing handily. I\u2019ll bet there are a lot of people who were surprised, who thought she hadn\u2019t a prayer, didn\u2019t have any kind of a chance. Let\u2019s go back and resume here at audio sound bite number eight. Wolf Blitzer… <\/p>\n

You know what these guys…? I finally figured out this evolution bit. They think everybody Republican is Jerry Falwell. They think every Republican is Pat Robertson and they\u2019re just waiting for somebody to slip up and prove it. Everybody is a right-wing kook Christian; everybody is a Southern hick pro-lifer. You know, that\u2019s the template that they have of conservatives. Wolf Blitzer is falling right in line. I still laugh at Wolf Blitzer saying to Christine O\u2019Donnell, ‘The voters want to know what you think about evolution.\u2019 Wolf, if you knew what the voters wanted you\u2019d have an audience. If you knew what the voters wanted, you wouldn\u2019t be at CNN. CNN hasn\u2019t the slightest clue what the voters want as evidenced by the fact that the voters don\u2019t watch. For crying out loud, 500,000 people? We have that on one street corner in New York every half hour.<\/p>\n

At any rate, back now to the sound bites. Wolf Blitzer to Christine O\u2019Donnell (snidely): ‘What specifically, Ms. O\u2019Donnell, would you do specifically, Ms. O\u2019Donnell, to specifically create jobs. What would you do?\u2019<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: What I think? The best thing the government can do to get our economy back on real economic recovery is to get out of the way of the small business owner, to get out of the way of the entrepreneur, and the way you do that is to make sure these tax hikes don\u2019t come in January. You begin to roll back some of the regulation that\u2019s forced them to close their doors. A couple things that I\u2019m proposing: Number one, a temporary two-year tax holiday on the capital gains tax to give investors the money they need to reinvest in business. To permanently eliminate the death tax — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah? <\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: — that\u2019s not only an unjust bill because we paid taxes while we saved it, but it will also create 1.5 million new jobs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so they say, ‘What would you do to create jobs?\u2019 She rattles off some concrete proposals. Do you think we\u2019d-a heard that from Mike Castle? We\u2019d-a heard the same kind of thing when Linda McMahon asked what\u2019s-his-face, that pencil neck geek up in Connecticut, Blumenthal. This guy… I\u2019ll tell you. (doing Dick Blumenthal impression) ‘I\u2019m proud of my service. I\u2019m proud of the time that I served our country in Vietnam,\u2019 when he didn\u2019t! ‘I\u2019m proud of my service in Vietnam.\u2019 I see this guy and I just want to ram a Big Mac down his throat. ‘Eat something!\u2019 Anyway, would Castle have been able to rattle off things like this? When Blumenthal was asked what he\u2019d do to create jobs (doing impression), ‘Well, jobs are to be created, and I\u2019m for that. We love jobs in Connecticut. I\u2019m proud of the work I\u2019ve done to create them.\u2019 I mean, that\u2019s the kind of gobbledygook we got. She was able to rattle this off rat-tat-tat-tat. What\u2019s next? Wolf Blitzer says (snidely), ‘Well, where did you get those numbers? Where did you get those numbers you\u2019re talking about?<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: The Department of Labor statistics, and we\u2019ll have them on our website by tomorrow. But I want to point out that he said that we\u2019re not creating a culture of dependency. How would you explain what is happening when unemployment is leveled out but more and more people are on food stamps? We\u2019ve gotta ask ourselves: What do we want Delawareans to be receiving, food stamps or paychecks? I say paychecks.<\/p>\n

COONS: Obviously paychecks. We\u2019d like to have Americans be able to receive the benefits that they need to get through incredibly difficult times. But to simply denounce people as being ‘dependent\u2019 because they\u2019re applying for and receiving food stamps —<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Oh, Chris, that\u2019s not fair.<\/p>\n

COONS: — in the worst recession in modern times —<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: That\u2019s not fair of you to say that.<\/p>\n

COONS: — is frankly slandering people in difficult times.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: That\u2019s not fair of you to say that because that\u2019s not at all what I\u2019m doing.<\/line><\/line>RUSH: This is predictable, too. ‘Obviously paychecks. We\u2019d like to have Americans be able to receive the BENEFITS they need to get through the…\u2019 That\u2019s another buzzword the left is always focused on: Benefits. You gotta orient yourself so you get the ‘benefits\u2019 that you are owed. How many of you, when you think about what it means to be an American, tabulate the ‘benefits\u2019 in tangible terms? Benefits that transfer payments, in-kind payments that you are owed or that you are gonna get? Is that what you contemplate when you contemplate being an American? ‘Yeah, I\u2019m gonna add up my benefits.\u2019 You can tell by this guy\u2019s language: ‘We\u2019d like to have Americans be able to receive the benefits they need to get through incredibly difficult times.\u2019 The best thing people have is themselves, and the biggest obstacle people have to overcome is people like this Coons guy who thinks the benefits and government transfer payments, redistribution of wealth, that\u2019s the essence of fairness in his warped mind. She wasn\u2019t talking about anything at all like he tried to characterize her. Anyway, Coons was not happy about the ad that\u2019s being run on the Internet calling him ‘Coons The Taxman,\u2019 which is a very creative ad. It\u2019s very funny ad. Wolf Blitzer said to Coons, ‘Okay, I\u2019ll have you respond to this.\u2019<\/line><\/p>\n

COONS: We\u2019re gonna try to have a conversation here this evening rather than just a diatribe if we possibly could. <\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: (chuckles)<\/p>\n

COONS: I think it would be helpful to have an exchange of ideas and let each of us take turns. So thank you for moderating, Wolf. I think it\u2019s important to look closely at some of the things Ms. O\u2019Donnell has thrown out on her new website. Most of them are untrue. Some of them are flat-out lies, some of them are mischaracterizations, some of them are just factually untrue. So I\u2019m not going to stop every single time there\u2019s something she throws out that I disagree or I think is factually untrue.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (crying) ‘It\u2019s not fair! (sobbing) She\u2019s got a website, be I\u2019m gonna be a man about it but I want to stop and cry about it. I\u2019ll let Wolf Blitzer give me the chance to whine and cry about it.\u2019 There is one episode in the debate that people have focused on and the media has seized on this as her ‘Sarah Palin moment.\u2019 The female moderator Nancy Karibjanian said, ‘We\u2019ve talked about the Supreme Court. Obviously, a United States senator has the opportunity to determine, in a way, the makeup of the court. So what opinions of late that have come from our high court do you most object to?\u2019<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Oh, gosh. Give me a specific one. I\u2019m sorry.<\/line> <\/line> KARIBJANIAN: Actually, I can\u2019t because I need you to tell me which ones you object to.<\/line> <\/line> O\u2019DONNELL: I\u2019m very sorry. Right off the top of my head? I know that there are a lot, but I\u2019ll put it up on my website, I promise you.<\/line> <\/line> BLITZER: Well, we know you disagree with Roe v. Wade.<\/line> <\/line> O\u2019DONNELL: Yeah, but that wasn\u2019t recent. She said ‘a recent one.\u2019 She said ‘of late.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> BLITZER: That\u2019s relatively recent.<\/line> <\/line>O\u2019DONNELL: Not Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade —<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Gee, whiz!<\/line> <\/line> O\u2019DONNELL: — if that were overturned would not make abortion illegal in the United States. It would put the power back to the states.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: What an idiot this guy is! I mean this was a genuine opportunity for him to bury her, and he goes back to 1973 \u2019cause he wants a discussion on abortion. He wanted abortion in the debate. I don\u2019t know. I have brain freezes like that all the time, and everybody would acknowledge how smart I am. Everybody acknowledges how informed I am. I\u2019m not bragging. I\u2019m informed. I have a great memory. You all constantly tell me this. But if I\u2019m doing an interview is and somebody says, ‘What are your top ten favorite movies?\u2019 I freeze. I can think of one. I always come up with one, The Graduate, and after that I can\u2019t think of nine other movies. So there\u2019s something… (interruption) Secretariat, but that\u2019s only \u2019cause I saw it Friday. <\/line> <\/line> Okay, all right: Recent Supreme Court decision you disagree with. Three: Kelo. That\u2019s what I woulda said. What I\u2019m saying is I\u2019m not gonna give her negative marks on this because I have brain freezes like this, and it\u2019s a specific question. When you\u2019re asked to name one thing… I remember the first time I did Brinkley I had one of my most famous brain freezes. Brinkley interviewed me on his This Week with David Brinkley show, and during the interview he says, ‘You know, there\u2019s no one like you. There\u2019s no one like you,\u2019 and I thanked him. At the end of the interview he asked, ‘Okay, if you\u2019re president, what would you do?\u2019 (chuckles) I sat there for 20 seconds. I said nothing. Brain freeze. Because I\u2019ve never thought about running for president. It\u2019s not something I ever thought about.<\/line> <\/line> You know, I thought about what the country needs but never from the standpoint of my having the ability to wave a wand or use power to make it happen. I had a 20-second brain freeze. I\u2019m panicking. You know, ‘Oh, my gosh, if, of everything in this interview, they use this 20 seconds of silence that can kill me. They can ruin my career right here if they use this,\u2019 and he had two associate producers in the room, and they were just staring at me, and I\u2019m literally frozen. I don\u2019t know how many of you this happens to, but I do have brain freezes now and then with specific kinds of questions. (interruption) What? (interruption) Well, I know it happened to Ted Kennedy. That\u2019s right. Roger Mudd asked, ‘Why do you want to be Kennedy?\u2019 (muttering) <\/line> <\/line> ‘Well, uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh…\u2019<\/line> <\/line> That\u2019s true. It happened to Ted Kennedy. Anyway, that was the lone instance where they can, ‘A-ha! Sarah Palin moment,\u2019 which a Sarah Palin moment is when she said, ‘I can see Russia from my backyard.\u2019 She supposedly said, ‘I\u2019ve got foreign policy experience. I can see Russia from my backyard,\u2019 which I actually don\u2019t think that she said. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
