RUSH: This is just classic. In fact, grab number seven first. And then we\u2019re gonna go back and get number six. Both of these sound bites are — well, the first one is July 20th, 2012, and this is Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos talking to Brian Ross. Brian Ross is the chief investigative correspondent for ABC News. He\u2019s a chief. This is their bread and butter. This is the guy that does investigative journalism. This is the guy that goes out there and finds all of these people engaging in corruption before anybody else knows.<\/p>\n
This is the guy that wades through the murk and peels away the onion to get to the real focus of evil out there on whatever it might be. This happens to be after a school shooting in Colorado, another mass murder shooting in Colorado at a school. You might remember this. George Stephanopoulos says, “I want to go to Brian Ross here.” They\u2019re trying to find the perp. Well, they found the perp, but they\u2019re trying to find out, who is this guy? Who is this perp? And that\u2019s what this bite\u2019s about.<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS: I want to go to Brian Ross here, because, Brian, you\u2019ve been looking, investigating the background of Jim Holmes here. You\u2019ve found something that might be significant.<\/p>\n
ROSS: There\u2019s a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year. Now, we don\u2019t know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it\u2019s Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado.<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS: Okay, we\u2019ll keep looking at that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: By God, we hope it\u2019s the same guy. Oh, do we want to break this story. We want to break the story that the mass shooter is a member of the Tea Party, George, and I\u2019m Brian Ross, and I\u2019m working hard on it, and we found a guy with this name and he\u2019s right there, he\u2019s right there on the Tea Party named roster of members.<\/p>\n
Well, it turned out it was not the same guy because Tea Party people are not mass murderers. No, but the left would love to find one. I found it instructive, the first place they went, “Okay, we get a name.” What\u2019s the first thing that they did at ABC News? See if we can link this guy to Republicans. Let\u2019s see if we can link this shooting to conservatives. Maybe on talk radio. Maybe the Tea Party. Maybe we\u2019ll hit the trifecta! Maybe the guy\u2019s Tea Party and listens to talk radio and watches Fox News. That\u2019s what they were hoping.<\/p>\n
And of course the shooter had nothing to do with anything to do with conservatism. If anything, he had liberal influences. But this is just to illustrate, especially for those of you listening for the first time today, the kind of things that we focus on here. I mean, it was absurd from the get-go, but this is who they are. They were hoping and praying that the Tea Party had something to do with this. It\u2019s how afraid of it they are. Okay, Brian Ross this morning, ABC News Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos talking to Brian Ross about the event at the French magazine.<\/p>\n
ROSS: Eyewitnesses said the two gunmen said they were from Al-Qaeda in Yemen, but so far there have been no substantiated claims of responsibility from either Al-Qaeda or the ISIS group in Syria. George?<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS: Thanks, Brian.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Very careful there. Now, you go back to 2012 when it might have been the Tea Party, and we say that last. (imitating Ross) “Hey, George, what we got here is Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year. We don\u2019t know if the same Jim Holmes, but it\u2019s Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, and we\u2019re gonna keep looking at this.”<\/p>\n
Then you go to yesterday, “Well, I don\u2019t know, George, we gotta be real, real careful here. Eyewitnesses said the two gunmen said they were from Al-Qaeda in Yemen, but no, no, no, no, we don\u2019t have any substantiated claims. We gotta be very, very, very, very, very, very careful here, George, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”<\/p>\n
You see the difference? Tea Party, we can\u2019t help ourselves. We can\u2019t control ourselves. It might be the Tea Party, yeah! And they put it out there first so that\u2019s the first thing people hear, Jim Holmes, Tea Party. And then they say, “Now, we don\u2019t know if it\u2019s same one, but Jim Holmes, Tea Party,” and this one, “Well, they say it\u2019s Al-Qaeda, but we don\u2019t want jump to any conclusions on this, George, no, no, no, no, no, may not be Al-Qaeda, may not be Al-Qaeda in Yemen, no, no, no, no, no. Gotta be very, very, very careful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
