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

RUSH: This is Paul in Raleigh, North Carolina. Welcome, and great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: After seeing the photo of the officer on the news there, officer — I can\u2019t think of his name, down there in Ferguson —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Darren Wilson.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wilson. Okay. I don\u2019t think he was a bad cop or a racist cop. I think he was a scared cop. After already being in a confrontation —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t you understand, that\u2019s racist. From a picture you think he looked scared?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, just from his size and knowing that he already took blows to the head, that\u2019s already been reported. This kid was rushing him, that now is being reported.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no. This is a gentle giant<\/a>. There was no bull rush. His hands were up. He was surrendering, and it\u2019s racist to be afraid of somebody like that if you\u2019re a white cop. Don\u2019t you get it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m thinking he was a scared cop and he would do anything that Joe public would have done if he had a gun with him, is protect his life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but you see the left\u2019s take on this is that the only reason that trigger was pulled is because Michael Brown\u2019s black<\/a>. If Michael Brown had been 6-foot-4-inches; if he\u2019d been 290 lbs; if he had just held up a convenience store; if he was bull rushing the cop, everything the same, the cop would not have pulled the trigger on a white guy. That\u2019s the left\u2019s story and they\u2019re gonna manufacture that. They don\u2019t care whether it\u2019s true. That is what happens in America. It\u2019s been happening since the days of slavery, and it\u2019s still happening now, and until everybody believes it, they\u2019re not gonna stop with this investigation. The media\u2019s gonna be in Ferguson longer than CNN tried to find the missing Malaysian jet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s another thing. The media\u2019s gonna pack up and take off and those poor people in Ferguson are gonna be left holding the bag.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that is the Drive-By Media definition. You\u2019ve got that right. They\u2019ll head on down the road. But I think there\u2019s always gonna be a media contingent. I expect to see Ferguson bureaus established. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they put a bureau in Ferguson. Hey, this is not a one-off. You know this kind of thing happens all the time. There\u2019s gonna be another one next week the minute the media gets out of there. Don\u2019t you understand yet how this works? The myth is it happens all the time, so there has to be another one. <\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s gotta go there. Didn\u2019t you hear Ann Compton\u2019s question? “Mr. President, why aren\u2019t you going? It\u2019s one thing to send Holder. Why aren\u2019t you going? There are towns all over this country worried about an eruption just like what happened in Ferguson.” Oh, really, Ann? Where? See, there aren\u2019t any. You see, folks, this is a really rare occurrence which is one of the reasons why it\u2019s such a big news story. If it happened all the time it would have been dealt with by now. If it happened all the time it wouldn\u2019t be on the news because they would be dealing with it. But it is so rare, it\u2019s so big news. But the die is cost, so to speak.<\/p>\n

How long was Shep Smith and those boys, how long was Anderson Cooper, how long did they stay in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and then how much time did they spend in Houston tracking down the refugees from New Orleans and trying to talk \u2019em into going back? The media at large, I mean they may pack up and head on down the road to the next hoped-for tragedy, but there\u2019s always gonna be a media contingent here until this thing gets done.<\/p>\n

I guarantee you, this is so easy to see, this, quote, unquote, investigation. I mean, they\u2019re even they\u2019re admitting it\u2019s going to take months. This investigation, I predict to you, will terminate shortly after the November elections. Maybe, depending on what the outcome is, right before then. But that\u2019s the target date for this to have been adjudicated and dealt with. I appreciate the call very much. <\/line><\/p>\n

Joan in Palm Springs, California. What a great place to go play golf. I got some great friends out there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: One of your favorite places.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it is. It\u2019s sad to see that Obama has bought property there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But it\u2019s a big enough place that —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I live in Rancho Mirage, actually.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you do?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rancho Mirage, wasn\u2019t that Bob Hope and Sinatra and —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mr. Snerdley didn\u2019t know where that was, so that\u2019s why I said Palm Springs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, it\u2019s all Palm Springs, palm desert.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s why I said it, exactly. I also told him years ago I wanted to be one of your mistresses, long ago, in the eighties, and I thought, “Oh, boy, I have all the qualifications.” <\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) One of my mistresses.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: But, anyway, my question is why hasn\u2019t anyone said anything about the storekeeper who was on the video, who was being pushed around by our perp. Or I shouldn\u2019t say perp, I guess.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean the gentle giant?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The gentle — that\u2019s what I was trying to say.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The gentle giant.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Gentle giant.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know what you\u2019re talking about, the gentle giant.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The little man was being pushed out of the way in a store, no one\u2019s ever mentioned him —<\/p>\n

RUSH: The gentle giant is leaving the store and somebody comes up to him, it looks like the proprietor, and it looks like he says, “You can\u2019t take that,” and the gentle giant shoves him in the chest and points a finger at him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm. And he\u2019s never been questioned, that we know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. He may not have been questioned by the media, but I imagine that the police department has found him, and I\u2019m sure that one of the 40 FBI agents in town will find the guy. The storekeeper —<\/p>\n

CALLER: And also what he stole was pertinent to what they may have found in his system as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes. Yes. I think the storekeeper is probably afraid for his life.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Probably. But so is Mr. Wilson, for crying out loud, getting his name out like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, I mean, how about this. The media shows a picture of his house. They draw maps to where Darren Wilson lives. They broadcast his address, and after they do that, then they say, “Oh, my God, we\u2019re sorry, we didn\u2019t mean to.” And then they pull it down. After it\u2019s already cached. All you gotta do is go to Google or YouTube and you can see all of it. When I saw that, and that was over the weekend, it\u2019s just one of the many things, folks, that tells you what\u2019s going on here and tells you what the media, which is the Democrat Party, what their outcome, what their hoped for, angled for outcome is. <\/p>\n

Have you seen the home or the address of the family of the gentle giant? We haven\u2019t? Okay. We haven\u2019t. Everybody knows where the police department is and where the mayor\u2019s office is in St. Louis. People have been protesting there. But there\u2019s no reason to put the cop\u2019s address on camera, on TV, in media. There\u2019s no reason to put a map and directions and pictures of the house and so forth, even though he\u2019s not there. They want to make sure they got the right one. I mean, the fact that it\u2019s done is blatant in terms of the purpose, the reason, the motivation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
