Well, that\u2019s purely understandable. It comes from the goodness, the warmth and gold of the human heart! So Dean makes a great comparison, and the headline is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/may\/11\/capitals-and-rangers-blood-on-the-ice-tells-cold-t\/\">Capitals and Rangers\u2019 Blood on the Ice Tells Cold Truth About Justice<\/a> &#8212; Let\u2019s hope official Washington hears the scorn being heaped on their hometown Capitals for forward Tom Wilson\u2019s beatdown of two New York Rangers players.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/may\/11\/capitals-and-rangers-blood-on-the-ice-tells-cold-t\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-397423\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-051321.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-051321.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-051321-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-051321-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;I have no skate to grind against the Caps,&#8221; he writes, &#8220;but this sad episode has the potential to teach us about cries of foul play across the political spectrum. The lesson is as clear as freshly Zamboni\u2019d ice: When people feel they\u2019re denied justice, they\u2019ll take the law into their own hands, and the whole culture suffers. That you or I might not see a particular play or court ruling as dirty doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are always troublemakers eager to sing Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song; it\u2019s them we must squelch.&#8221; This is the key piece. He\u2019s writing about an incident of violence that, even in hockey terms, was bad. &#8220;The Wilson incident occurred on May 3, when he punched Rangers\u2019 winger Pavel Buchnevich in the back of the skull while he lay defenseless. Next, he dragged Artemi &#8216;The Breadman\u2019 Panarin down by the hair and slammed his face into the ice.<\/p>\n<p>Dean writes, &#8220;It was a berserker rage worthy of Wolverine &#8212; the X-Man inspired, incidentally, by Dr. Hook, a goon from the 1977 Paul Newman classic Slap Shot.&#8221; He\u2019s talking about justice denied turning into vigilantism on the ice. This is what the left has done that has led to violence from the right. I don\u2019t excuse people making because decisions. I don\u2019t excuse people saying, &#8220;Hey, let\u2019s break into the Capitol!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I also don\u2019t ignore that there were leftist agitators there. I don\u2019t ignore that at all. More to my point &#8212; and, perhaps, to Dean\u2019s concern &#8212; is this is continuing, this disparate treatment. There are people who are accused of breaking into the Capitol in solitary confinement in D.C. and only Lizzie Warren and I think Bernie Sanders will speak out against this solitary confinement.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter agitators and terrorists continue to do whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it to whomever they want to do it! People see this, they see this disparity in justice, and it rightly angers them. We are to be one nation under God. We are to have laws for everybody, that apply to everybody.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_609af513f4cae40001a52ad6\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/609af513f4cae40001a52ad6.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&#038;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But we see already there\u2019s a different law for Rudy Giuliani than there are for Hillary Clinton. They never went and searched her home! There\u2019s this thing called Kafka Trapping. I learned about this from my friends who have a great Facebook page that tracks the homeless industrial complex in big West Coast cities. It\u2019s called Safe Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Kafka Trapping is where your enemy makes you so angry, that when you finally act out they step back and go, &#8220;(Gasp)! Ohhh! That\u2019s dangerous rage. Where did that came from?&#8221; Kafka Trapping. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/02\/24\/your_anger_is_justified\/\">Rush explained to us that in the eyesight of the party, the anger of jihadists and domestic terrorists is always justified<\/a>, that emotion is only dangerous when conservatives are angry.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m getting a little tired of everybody in the establishment, everybody in the media talking about how anger is the driving force of this, as though it is a disqualifier. As though the anger that is propelling this election makes the results illegitimate. Let me throw something at you here on this. I think the anger is totally understandable. I think it\u2019s called for.<\/p>\n<p>But how come when some downtrodden group in America, when the gay lobby is mad, we\u2019re supposed to take time out and understand the rage and learn from it. When Saudi Islamists hijack three airplanes and crash them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and another Washington target, why do we take out and say, &#8220;Gee, why do they hate us? What have we done to make them so mad?&#8221; And then we\u2019re told we must not react irrationally here. We must try to understand their rage.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because it\u2019s our fault, we\u2019re told. Something that we did as a nation. The State Department had seminars after 9\/11: What did we do to make them hate us? But you notice in this anger it\u2019s directed where? It\u2019s directed at the Washington establishment. Is Washington establishment ever saying, &#8220;We need to pause. We need to have a time-out. We need to find out why they\u2019re so mad at us. What have we done wrong?&#8221; Wouldn\u2019t that be the consistent thing? Except that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-383368\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022521-rUSH-fLAG-zz-app.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022521-rUSH-fLAG-zz-app.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022521-rUSH-fLAG-zz-app-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022521-rUSH-fLAG-zz-app-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>In the case of the anger on the Republican side propelling this primary season, everybody is saying it\u2019s irrational, it\u2019s kooky, it\u2019s irresponsible, it\u2019s insane. Nobody is saying, &#8220;Hey, why are they mad? What did we do to make them so mad? Maybe we need a seminar or two over here at some lobbyist\u2019s office to figure out why they\u2019re so mad at us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why is the anger propelling the primary vote automatically disqualified as unhinged, and yet the anger of terrorists blowing us to smithereens &#8212; the anger of illegal immigrants breaking our laws to get in the country, the anger of every minority group ticked off at basically being unhappy in life &#8212; we\u2019re supposed to stop, we\u2019re supposed to understand the rage, we\u2019re supposed to learn from it. And what we\u2019re supposed to learn from it is that it\u2019s our fault. Okay, well, turn that right around on the Republican and the entire Washington establishment.<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t you people take a little time-out; instead of mischaracterizing the anger, why don\u2019t you follow your own guidelines and try to learn from it? Why don\u2019t you try to ask yourself what have you done made everybody so mad? Folks, don\u2019t let \u2019em do this to you. They\u2019re trying to make you think that you are a wacko. Some of you may be, but not because of your anger. Do not let them convince you that there\u2019s something wrong with you because your emotions are at a feverish pitch in this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>They ought to be. Well, I mean, in a large room of people you\u2019re gonna have a certain percentage of them who are gonna be kooks, and most kooks actually don\u2019t know who they are. If they did, they wouldn\u2019t be doing what they\u2019re doing, right? It\u2019s important in policy, in dealing with these various (big sigh) things.<\/p>\n<p>TODD: So, Rush describes these phenomena to a T that we\u2019re seeing &#8212; and this is, I think, Dean\u2019s column, this great piece in the Washington Times that you\u2019ll be able to find it at RushLimbaugh.com. The party, the left, the technocrats, the mockingbird media, intend to continue this disparate treatment. And every time there is a response from someone not on the left, not in the party, they intend to go, &#8220;(Gasp)! The danger. We need to fence off the entire Capitol forevermore because of the danger of the right.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TODD: Rush describes these phenomena to a T that we&#039;re seeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":383368,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
