RUSH: There have to be, folks, some hurt feelings out there among the left-wing kook base. In fact, I know that because of this Lieberman thing, there already are. The left kooks, they are fried. They wanted Lieberman strung up and flogged. After all the public threats Harry Reid walked out to the cameras, he said nothing was going to be done to Lieberman for leaving the reservation and backing McCain, and Lieberman is still chairman of homeland security, no punishment, no nothing, and it was Obama who interceded to guarantee it. On various websites out there — I’ve checked it out — they are fit to be tied. They’re saying, ‘We count for nothing, we mean nothing. ‘Democracy’ is a nice word, but it should never threaten the entitlement of the most exclusive club in the world. No matter what Lieberman does, the people who are protecting him hate you much more than they hate him.’ These are libs talking to each other.
Michael Ratner is a professor at Columbia school of law. He’s president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and he’s also mad. He wants the Bushies to pay for protecting us from terrorists. Here was his quote: ‘I don’t see how we regain our moral stature by allowing those who were intimately involved in the torture programs to simply walk off the stage and lead lives where they’re not held accountable.’ So now even a Columbia law school professor has been left out in the cold. Let me tell you, those of you at the Daily Kos and wherever else, you’re all upset about Lieberman, those of you at the Democrat Underground or wherever else, upset that the Justice Department’s not going to bring criminal charges over anybody at Club Gitmo, those of you who lurk at the Huffington Post, if you’re all upset that the Bush administration will not be brought up on war crimes charges, relax. Don’t give up hope for change.
