RUSH: Now, there\u2019s a very upsetting story out of the Afghanistan war today. Headline: “United States Army Major General Killed by an Afghan Soldier — A United States Army major general was shot and killed at close range on Tuesday by a man dressed as an Afghan soldier at a training academy on the outskirts of Kabul…” By the way, you might hear it pronounced “Kah-BOOL,” but it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s “KAH-bull,” K-a-b-u-l. <\/p>\n

<\/a>“The officer was the highest-ranking member of the American military to die in hostilities in the Afghanistan war. The coalition official, who spoke on condition of anonymity and would not release the name of the major general, said an unspecified number of other service members of the American-led coalition and Afghan soldiers, including a senior Afghan commander were also shot.”<\/p>\n

Now, do you remember Fort Hood, the massacre at Fort Hood, where a member the Army stood up and shouted, “Allahu Akbar,” and just let loose and killed and wounded a number of people? Do you remember what that was called? It was called “workplace violence.” It was “workplace violence.”<\/a> It was anything but what it was. They never were gonna call it “terrorism.” No way. <\/p>\n

It could not have been the result of militant Islamists infiltrating the US Army. “Hell, no! That couldn\u2019t happen. Our security is too tight; that could never have happened. It\u2019s somebody that just cracked, just like in your office. It\u2019s just ‘workplace violence.'” Well, I don\u2019t know what President Obama is going to say, if anything, about this major general killed in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

But I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the way he describes it is, quote, “An Army general was a victim of workplace violence today. It seems there was a little trouble with some of the folks over in Afghanistan. I\u2019ll have more about this after I save the country from the Tea Party Republicans.” (interruption) No, I doubt that he would say it. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised, is the point. (interruption) One thing is an act of war and another one\u2019s not? <\/p>\n

Workplace violence! See, even workplace violence is political. This is the thing. All these people — average, ordinary Americans, some of them low-information — talking about how much they hate politics, have no idea how everything they care about or are interested in, has been politicized. They don\u2019t see it. As such, they don\u2019t see the Democrats as political. <\/p>\n

The Democrats are the ones that politicize all these things. The Democrats. Google, Facebook, Twitter. Who are these people? They\u2019re all liberal Democrats! They all donate, they all promote, they all vote liberal Democrat. Everything they do is political. But since these people don\u2019t see “politics” in all that is political, and they know these people are all Democrats, why, then it\u2019s not political — and why do they hate politics? <\/p>\n

Well, you reduce it down to they hate politics because of the Republicans. “The Republicans are the ones that make everything political,” and the poor old sap Republicans, they\u2019re just sitting around. They get up in fear every day wondering what the hell is gonna be thrown at \u2019em that day. The Republicans haven\u2019t been on the aggressive warpath in I don\u2019t know how long. <\/p>\n

The Republicans aren\u2019t doing diddly-squat, except sitting there getting blamed for everything and being told how they\u2019re haters and they\u2019re racists and they\u2019re bigots. And the guys that are making everything political escape any association with politics, which these low-information people claim to hate. So therefore who\u2019s political? Republicans are! This is how it all works. <\/p>\n

This is why my quest to get everybody possible, as many as possible, to see the politics in everything. Right now when you\u2019re a person that sees “politics” in everything, you\u2019re an extremist to people that don\u2019t get it. “That\u2019s crazy. You\u2019re just crazy. You\u2019re tinfoil hats. You find a conspiracy theory behind every simple little occurrence.” <\/p>\n

No, no, no, no. I just understand the left. I just understand them front to back, top to bottom, sideways to sideways. I understand them. I know how they do it. I know what they\u2019re gonna say before they say it, how they\u2019re gonna react before they react, because I understand their politics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
