\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Congressman Trey Gowdy was on Fox News last night with Megyn Kelly. She asked him about this. She said, “For years now the American public has disliked this law, Obamacare. They have complained that they felt it was crammed down their throats, that there was dishonesty in the process. They were not told the full story. And now you\u2019ve got the chief architect of the law on camera saying (paraphrased), ‘Yeah, we had to lie. You\u2019re too dumb to know what\u2019s good for you.'”<\/p>\n

GOWDY: It\u2019s really serious. In a participatory democracy, when you tell your fellow citizens that you\u2019re either not smart enough to understand the truth or we can\u2019t tell you the truth because you wouldn\u2019t go along with it… Well, if you wouldn\u2019t go along with it, maybe you shouldn\u2019t pass the law. It\u2019s not the responsibility of your viewers to read thousand-page bills. Hell, the people who voted on it didn\u2019t read it before they voted on it! So it\u2019s not my fellow citizens\u2019 responsibility to read this bill. I would say this to the professor: Put down the cognac and the lost writings of J.D. Salinger. You want to see how stupid our fellow citizens are? Take a look at last Tuesday night, because they rejected you, this bill, and this administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is exactly right. Boy, has that continued to pop up all over the cable TV universe. Katrina vanden Heuvel… What network was she on, Snerdley, where you saw her commenting on me? (interruption) Katrina…? (interruption) Oh, it was one of the…? Oh, she wrote a column. They\u2019re all saying, “Limbaugh, he\u2019s got this stupid belief that the voters said, ‘Stop Obama!'”<\/line><\/p>\n

These people are so damn arrogant. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like I mentioned to you one time the way the sports media is carrying the ball here on the Redskins name change. It\u2019s a trick that they play, and it stems from their arrogance and their conceit. Okay, so to a bunch of sportswriters decide, “It\u2019s just outrageous. It\u2019s outrageous that the Redskins call themselves Redskins,” and so we\u2019ve gotta change name. They begin the project to get everybody agree to change, and they assume that everybody agrees with them. <\/p>\n

They assume that there is massive national agreement the Redskins need to change their name, so that when anybody disagrees they end up being portrayed as extreme fringe kooks. When the truth is the majority of Americans don\u2019t give a damn, frankly. They\u2019re concerned about other things. But the sports media, that\u2019s all that matters when they get off on it, and they run around acting like they are in the majority. That\u2019s what Gruber is doing here. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what all of these Democrats, and even now, after Obama has been soundly rejected and after the American people said to the Republican Party, “We want you to stop him,” they\u2019re all over TV saying that\u2019s not what this is. They can\u2019t get their arms around the fact they\u2019ve been rejected. That simply is not possible. “Reject us? Why, why, we\u2019re the best. I mean, we\u2019re the big clique. I mean, reject us? Not possible.” And they run around thinking this. <\/p>\n

But here\u2019s Gruber, I mean, you talk about putting two cans of excrement right in front of the guy and giving him all kinds of warning to not step in it and he stepped in both of them. It\u2019s just such a breach. They say they care so much about the little guy, the disadvantaged, the taken advantage of little guy, and look how they\u2019re putting the screws, and look how they really think and what they really think of people. <\/p>\n

Next up with Trey Gowdy, Megyn Kelly said, “Voters bounced out 28 senators who voted in favor of this law,” 28 or 29. And that\u2019s true, 28 or 29 Democrat voters who voted for Obamacare are gone, sayonara, no mas, they\u2019re history. “And yet Mr. Gruber thinks that the American public is stupid. And yet they\u2019re smarter than he thinks because they doubted his assertions at the time. They\u2019ve doubted them ever since.”<\/p>\n
