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

RUSH: Sean in Plymouth, Minnesota, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, sir. How you doing? It\u2019s a pleasure talking to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I\u2019m glad you got through.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. My point that I wanted to make was that I think that this is the beginning<\/a> of the mainstream media distancing themselves from the president. I believe that their criticalness of his personal flaws are things that are gonna start happening more and more, because it\u2019s the only thing that they can really attack and not hurt the Democratic platform. In other words, they won\u2019t touch his foreign policy, they won\u2019t touch the economy, but they will touch personal flaws to try and distance themselves to get ready for 2016.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I, myself, am inclined to agree with you. Because I, myself, a couple of weeks ago actually postulated that this might be necessary in order for them to legitimatize Hillary and to insulate her from Obama. Look, in their minds, the media, she\u2019s the next Democrat president, but before that she\u2019s gotta get the Democrat nomination. Well, she was really close to Obama. She was secretary of state.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean, she was right in there, and all of these foreign policy scandals do touch her. So the Drive-Bys have an objective and a challenge. They have got to separate Hillary from Obama. They have to. They cannot allow Hillary to be tied to this incompetence, indecision, whatever. This aimless foreign policy. One of the ways they\u2019re gonna do that is to start dissing Obama a little bit. But don\u2019t be fooled by it, Sean.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think they\u2019re ever gonna, in what you would think of throwing Obama overboard, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re ever gonna abandon the guy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They may abandon him, but they will not abandon his principles and they\u2019re gonna hold fast to those forever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, exactly. They\u2019ll cast him aside as: “he\u2019s not the right guy to represent us anymore. He\u2019s six years in. He\u2019s not running again. We\u2019ve done our best to prop him up, but if he\u2019s not gonna help us, if he\u2019s gonna go out and do stupid things like play golf 10 minutes after an aimless speech on an American citizen being beheaded, well, there\u2019s only so much we can do.” And they\u2019ll have some pretense of their own credibility that they\u2019re concerned about as well. So you may have a point.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll just go back to what our last caller said, Sean, and he\u2019s exactly right. What has to be protected above all else is the agenda, the liberal agenda. Obama will not ever be permitted to destroy that as far as the media\u2019s concerned. So if they have to appear to be jettisoning support for Obama, it will only be to make sure he doesn\u2019t take the agenda down with him, or to protect Hillary.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s much like the media in New York after Dan Rather\u2019s career ending, fraudulent story, totally made up on the Bush National Guard business. Tom Brokaw and Jennings immediately arranged a massive, huge dinner with every journalist in the city was invited, where Rather got an award. The purpose was to make sure Rather didn\u2019t destroy the news. The media. That Rather\u2019s fall from grace did not taint all the others who practice the art of media propaganda. They had to protect that at all times, and they decided that, in order to do that, they had to circle the wagons and prop up Dan Rather.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party and Jimmy Carter, same thing. The worst acknowledged president ever, and the Democrats elevate him to emeritus status in order to save the party. They just can\u2019t allow their abject failures to do damage to the movement. And so don\u2019t ever think that the media\u2019s gonna throw Obama overboard. Don\u2019t ever think that throwing Obama overboard means that they\u2019re changing their names on liberalism, not at all. In fact, I think this is a good time to once again remind you of something that happened on this program, what is today? One week ago today.<\/p>\n

I asked a question on this program just a week ago. One of the items up for discussion was Mrs. Clinton and her public criticism of Obama. She was very public in criticizing Obama\u2019s foreign policy, which led people to go ask Obama about it. And he answered by saying it was horse manure. That then led to the big party on Martha\u2019s Vineyard late last week or early this, whenever it was, at Vernon Jordan\u2019s palatial mansion, where there was gonna be a hug-in. Yes, Hillary and Bill were gonna show up, and Barack and Michelle, and they were gonna hug, and they were gonna make up, and it was all gonna be so beautiful, and it didn\u2019t happen.<\/line><\/p>\n

Well, all of that was because Hillary started publicly criticizing Obama. And now in the interim, since then, we\u2019ve had this horrible beheading of an American journalist by ISIS, and a week ago today I asked, “Is the reason Hillary is separating now, because she knows how bad it is?” She was up close, she knows much more than you and I about foreign policy and whatever errors and mistakes have been made, that she doesn\u2019t want to be anywhere near when they blow up. I do not doubt that for a minute.<\/p>\n

So I think now, in the aftermath of the death of James Foley, the question, does Hillary know how bad things are going to get? I wonder if she knew how bad this ISIS business was. I wonder if she knew that we had mounted a failed rescue effort, and I wonder what else she knows that we don\u2019t that dictates her separation. ‘Cause I guarantee you, there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
