RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites, \u2019cause this is part and parcel of the same thing. Today on Good Morning America (we\u2019re up to number six for the broadcast engineer) the Justice Department correspondent ABC Pierre Thomas interviewed the attorney general, Eric Holder. Question: ‘What keeps you up at night? What keeps you up night? What do you worry about most?\u2019<\/p>\n

HOLDER: The concern that perhaps that we might have missed something. The threat is real, the threat is different, the threat is constant. The threat has changed from foreigners coming here to people in the United States, American citizens raised here, born here. You didn\u2019t worry about this even two years ago. The ability to go into your basement, turn on your computer, find a site that has this kind of hatred spewed. They have an ability to take somebody who\u2019s perhaps just interested, perhaps just on the edge, and take them over to the other side.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That\u2019s what keeps him awake at night is threats, not from foreigners, but people in the US — American citizens, raised here, born here. Those are the real terror threats. When was the last one of those? When was the last one of them? And so you see — and the computer, \u2019cause you can take these people fragilely balanced on the edge and get some really smart molder of opinions, some terrorist, some crazy site, and the person in the basement on a computer can become a terrorist. This sounds just like Hugo Chavez. This is the language of authoritarian statists. This is the language of dictators. And this next is encouraging. Pierre Thomas said, ‘Are you confident the United States will continue to they can\u2019t afford terror attacks?\u2019<\/p>\n

HOLDER: The American people have to be prepared for, you know, potentially bad news.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. I thought you were working 24\/7, 364 to keep us safe! Well, that\u2019s what Big Sis said. She was on World News Tonight, and Diane Sawyer interviewed her. She said, ‘What do you say right now about the degree of anxiety that\u2019s just realistic right now as we head into the holidays?\u2019<\/p>\n

NAPOLITANO: What I\u2019d say to the American people is that we are — uh, and thousands of people are — working 24\/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is the one day they are not working to keep people safe? It can\u2019t be Ramadan because that\u2019s like a month. What is the one day? Well, she said \u201924\/7, 364 days a year.\u2019 (interruption) No, because in leap years it would be two days. It would be 366. Election Day? Maybe it\u2019s Election Day. Martin Luther King Day? What day are they not working to keep us safe? Obviously here a… What would you call this? A gaffe. And so on Morning Joe today, Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington) they were talking about this gaffe, 364 days a year to protect the people. <\/p>\n

Scarborough said, ‘Help us out here, Andrea.\u2019 (impression) You know, I come from the No Labels group, and I don\u2019t know what 364 means anymore because we don\u2019t believe in labels and numbers are labels. So what is she talking about here? ‘So, if Janet Napolitano says we\u2019re not going to have to worry about terrorism because we\u2019ve got people working 364 days out of the year…\u2019 By the way, Joe, you\u2019re a No Labels guy. What are you doing talking about ‘terrorists\u2019 for? Isn\u2019t that a label? I\u2019m distracting myself. So, if Janet Napolitano says we\u2019re not going to have to worry about terrorism because we\u2019ve got people working 364 days out of the year are they giving us a heads up to let us know the day they\u2019re all taking off so I can keep my family home?\u2019<\/p>\n

MITCHELL: One person takes off a different day, you see? <\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: No.<\/p>\n

MITCHELL: That\u2019s the deal. They\u2019re covering for each other. I don\u2019t know. Maybe it\u2019s Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah. Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington) trying to cover for Big Sis. Well, they got it covered. It\u2019s just that she\u2019s taking one day off but somebody\u2019s covering for her. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I got Ron in Corpus Christi. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure. Speaking about Eric Holder, I\u2019m acquainted with victims of the FLAN terrorist group, and you know, it didn\u2019t help with the Clintons who let a lot of them free back in 1999.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s the Puerto Rican group.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, Puerto Rican nationalist group, and they were really fringe. And there was one guy that turned down Clinton\u2019s offer of clemency. His name is Oscar Lopez and he was cofounder of the group; he made bombs for the group; he taught others how to make bombs; he tried to escape from prison twice; he never showed any remorse, and he repeated that over and over again, no remorse, no contrition. Now he wants to get out, but there\u2019s a parole hearing on January the 5th, and it\u2019s an uphill battle. And there will be people showing up there trying to stop this, and so I encourage everybody to go on the parole commission\u2019s website, give \u2019em a call, be polite, let \u2019em know what you think.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why does the guy want out now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I guess he just got tired of being in prison.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that makes sense.<\/p>\n

CALLER: See, another friend of his got out this past year. He was the other cofounder, but he wasn\u2019t as crazy as Lopez is, \u2019cause Lopez is a case. When he conspired to get out of prison the second time, the FBI busted it up. He conspired with members they were linked to the Weather Underground and he made up a list of stuff he wanted. I got the list here: blasting caps, armor piercing rockets, grenades, rifles, plastic explosives, bulletproof vests. He tried to break out, to kill his way out. And now he just wants to walk out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you are informing me of something that I was not this up to speed on. I had not heard details of any of this. I\u2019ve got 30 seconds. What specifically bothers you about this guy getting out after spending some time in jail?<\/p>\n

CALLER: A lot of things. A sense of justice, compassion for the victims, they have to go and relive this again —<\/p>\n

RUSH: But Clinton pardoned all of his buddies. The other guy just got out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not all of them. Most of them. And also, you know, to show that the Clintons and Eric Holder can\u2019t have their way, that\u2019s part of it, but it\u2019s mainly for the victims. I\u2019ve gotten to know some of these people, and I suffer with them and they shouldn\u2019t have to go through this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s true. That\u2019s true. That is terror. No question about it. Ron, I\u2019m glad you called. I appreciate it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, the FALN terrorist our last caller is talking about is a guy named Oscar Lopez Rivera. He rejected Bill Clinton\u2019s offer of a pardon, and he\u2019s served 12 years of a 70-year sentence. His hearing is coming up in January, and it is the hope of many that he is not released. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jay in Salem, Oregon, it\u2019s great to have you, sir, on the Open Line Friday on Tuesday version of the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, nice to talk to you. It occurred to me one day, I was accused by an inmate of being a Republican, and I realized that they think like Democrats. The Democrat Party is the party of criminal thinking. I got to thinking about it, and a criminal thinks that laws don\u2019t apply to them. They think there\u2019s no controlling legal authority.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now. Hold it. You were ‘accused by an inmate\u2019? Where were you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I work at a county jail.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay. That helps. So an actual inmate accused you of being a Republican —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and they all think like Democrats?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. And I got to thinking, you know, what is a criminal but someone that thinks that laws don\u2019t apply to them. Al Gore said, ‘There was no controlling legal authority.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Criminals, they have a problem with addiction, maybe an addiction to power. A criminal thinks a lawyer is the answer to every problem, and…and what\u2019s my last point? And lying is the redefinition of truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I like it. (laughing) What better evidence could there be? The guy works in a jail and an inmate says, ‘You sound just like a Republican.\u2019 (laughing) That\u2019s excellent, Jay. I appreciate it. I\u2019m glad you called and got through. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
