What Rush Said - July 20, 2011

Back from a break, Rush is talking about the main stream media (MSM) trying to form opinion, specifically about a poll suggesting the majority want to raise the debt ceiling.  When looking at the poll sampling only approx 37% were registered voters.  Rush sums it up this way, "There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and polls."

More to follow as time permits.  Rush reminds Republicans don't cave.  Winners don't compromise.

What Rush Said - May 27, 2011

Rush says the Obama regime's prime objective is to depress you (Republican voters).

They want to run against a McCain, a RINO - this is why they are attacking Palin, Santorum, Herman Cain.

Rush continues, that Obama is not running on what he's done. No one wants more of Obama's policies.

Rush hopes they run Obama. Obama can't run on his record. He can't run on more of the same.

Rush reminds listeners that they are the majority. Just look at numerous polls. Stop listening to the liberal main stream media telling you what you think.

Rush says that nobody wants more of what Obama has delivered.

Rush continues that THEY hate Palin, THEY fear Palin. No one fears Biden. He's a joke. They fear Palin in part because she will not be obedient to the Democrat mold.

[More as time permits.]

What Rush Said - no post prior week

What Rush Said - May 11, 2011 - MSM Polls are designed to influence public opinion not measure it

Rush's show was jam packed with gems, wisdom, and great bits.

A majority focused on the hypocrisy of the media. He cited a story about a new AP poll showing a 60% approval for Obama. Rush explains a long held belief of his that these types of opinion polls do not reflect public opinion but try to influence it. The sampling for the poll had something like 45% Democrats, 15% Republicans, and 15% Independents. All the things that Obama is getting credit for are things that George Bush supposedly showed poor poll results - therefore this poll cannot be trusted.

Rush talked about Obama spiking the football victory lap and how arrogant and nasty he is. Obama's alligators in the moat comments mocking people who want real border security is just one example.

Bo Snerdley offered a 'black enough to criticize' commentary complete with a translation for those in the hood. The emphasis that Obama is 'playing you yo.'

More details later if time permits.

What Rush Said - May 10, 2011

For fun Rush decided to start a conspiracy theory of his own today: That Bin Laden was taken alive, and water-boarded, but died as a result and thus was buried at sea.

Rush talked about the recent Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace questioning White House National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon. Wallace wanted to know why it was okay to shot an unarmed man in the head twice, but that water-boarding was not okay.

Late in the show a caller suggested that race was the reason Rush didn't like Obama. Rush flatly denied that stating that he didn't like Obama because he doesn't like Socialists, or liberals.

What Rush Said - Monday May 9, 2011

A very brief summary for Monday's show. Rush continues to be annoyed at people referring to Bin Laden's hideout as a mansion. Rush suggests it looks like a crack house, that it's a 'Pigsty.' He then apologized if his Pigsty comment offended any Muslim sensibilities.

Rush is keeping a loose tally of the changing story about the Bin Laden get, it was approaching 40.

He read a quote from Mitch Daniels after a caller criticized Rush for what the caller felt was a negative reference to Daniels from Rush. The Daniels quote was - paraphrased - that, 'we can win when we view the other side as opponents and not the enemy.' Rush then listed all the various ways Obama administration and Obama policies, liberals, and democrats were indeed his enemy and not merely opponents. Rush contends that when the drive-by, main-stream-media, or how he more recently is referring to them, as stenographers, suggest a candidate that Republicans should be very wary.

What Rush Said - May 4, 2011 - The Confusion Continues

A good summary of the show is how Rush closed the show today - The Confusion Continues.

Rush covered the ever changing story about the operation that killed Bin Laden. He noted that Panetta is the one who really made the gusty decision - that of telling Obama that Osama was located. He played various clips of White House spokespeople, including Jay Carney. A particular Jay Carney clip was a very odd and tortured answer to a question how killing Osama helped the outreach of Obama to the Muslim world.

Rush when through the litany of story changes - Osama was armed, he was not, his wife was a human shield, she was not, it was not a wife, yes it was, etc. etc.

Rush pointed out the inconsistencies of Holder and others explaining how Osama was or was not an enemy combatant and how therefore that justified Osama being killed. Apparently SEALSs were told that unless Osama was found nude, that Osama would be wearing a bomb and therefore had to be killed.

Regarding the death photo not being released Rush points out that if the issue truly was not wanting to inflame matters, then why was Obama so quick to want to release photos of alleged prisoner abuse. Rush questions the logic that it the idea for the SEALs mission was to make sure Osama was dead, wouldn't releasing the photos be part of that?

Rush also pointed out that only some 9/11 families will be meeting Obama at his first visit to ground zero. There was various speculation about Obama inviting Bush and even Bill Clinton. Both had declined. Clinton due to a scheduling conflict. A Bush spokesperson said that Bush wishes to remain out of the spotlight and, "President Bush will not be in attendance on Thursday. He appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight," said spokesman David Sherzer. "He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror." Class Act.

Indeed, the Confusion Continues.

What Rush Said - May 3, 2011 - Obama - Me, Myself and I

The gist of the program focused on the mission that killed Bin Laden and how Obama used policies put in place by Bush and Cheney and how Obama had strenuously opposed such policies. He also focused on the hypocrisy of the media.

A former navy seal called in and explained that 'assaulter' is indeed the correct term when referring to the SEALs mission.

Rush played various clips of Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan. Rush seemed annoyed at the lack of appreciation being shown to president Bush.

As for Obama getting a boost and credit for the Bin Laden get -- Rush reminds us that while the moon landing happened during the Nixon administration, JFK gets the credit as he started the plan to go to the moon. History will tell if it repeats.

What Rush Said - May 2, 2011 -- Obama deserves congratulations for maintaining Bush policies

Rush sincere congratulated President Obama regarding the capture and kill of Osama Bin Laden. Rush congratulated Obama for continuing the policies that the Bush Cheney administration put in place. Rush congratulated Obama for not shutting down Gitmo, even though Obama has signed an executive order to do so and campaigned on that. Rush congratulated Obama for not dismantling the teams that have been in place for ten years.

Rush comments that if Obama was a shoe in for 2012 - Osama Bin Laden would still be alive.

Rush played a number of clips of liberal bias media pundits talking about how the death of Osama Bin Laden affects Obama's presidential bid. Rush reminds about how the liberal media criticized Bush. He wondered what sort of questions would be swirling around Bush if this military event occurred while Bush was president: where's the proof, where's the pictures, what took so long, etc. etc.

Rush said that now Obama does not have to worry about Bin Laden endorsing him for president as Bin Laden endorsed John Kerry.

Rush is tremendously proud of the American military for their work.

Rush said liberal media pundits suggesting that getting Bin Laden seals the deal for Obama to win in 2012 is over blown. Rush clearly states: This is not a campaign issue. Remember Clinton's campaign mantra of, "It's the economy stupid."

Rush also talked about how the breaking news reports about a BIG story pre-empted Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice and that Obama didn't speak for over an hour. Most people didn't see what happened on Celebrity Apprentice. Factor in Obama targeting Trump at the press club dinner shows just how [paraphrasing] bothered/threatened by Trump Obama is.

Oh yes, Rush mentioned hearing about the flood of questions about Osama's death and an email circulating asking to see the "Long Form Death Certificate." Rush remarks there's what is being referred to as, "Deathers."

Caller asked Rush about the burial at sea, saying that made no sense. Rush had a clever observation - the same people who didn't want a shrine pilgrims might come to visit Osama Bin Laden's earth bound grave, are the same people who support/want a mosque built at ground zero and is that not indeed a shrine.

What Rush Said, April 20, 2011 - Obama's IPAB = Death Panel

The Independent Advisory Board, or iPab - will ration health care by executive fiat by political appointees and will be the death panel.

Other show parts if time allows.

What Rush Said - April 8, 2011 - Obama looks much closer to President Jefferson Davis than Abraham Lincoln

So far, Rush has been focusing on two things:

1 - possible government shutdown [Rush ponders: if Obama expects military to be at war, or a Kinetic exercise without pay is that not akin to slavery. Rush added, "that it's one thing to pick cotton," and [paraphrased] it's another thing to putting your life on the line [as a soldier]. Therefore, Rush concludes, that President Obama, on the anniversary of the start of the Civil War, is more like Confederate President Jefferson Davis than President Abraham Lincoln.

2 - Wisconsin Supreme Court election [note only controversy is that AP calling election without all votes in]

Additional comments from Dems decrying possibility of shutdown affected a clip of female Dem saying the shutdown is like bombing innocent people. Rush wonders if there could be anything more innocent than unborn babies as the Dems are willing to not pay the military but insist on funding abortions through Planned Parenthood. [More to follow.]

What Rush Said - April 7, 2011 -

Referring to notes will have more later

What Rush Said - April 6, 2011 - Democrats dependent on dependence

Rush summarized the reaction of hysteria from the Democrats at the prospect of a government shut-down over the government budget: The Democrats are dependent on dependence.

Early he stated that the Democrat party has replaced plantation owner.

Their [Democrats and liberals] hysteria is due to their fear of their power being taken away. Democrats have to enslave people. The survive by the dependence of people on the government.

All this, Rush explains, is perpetuated by a slavish media.

The Republicans are still trying to free slaves from the Democrat party.

If there is a shut-down, Rush says they will close down things where the media can get pictures of crying children. He suggests a visit to Mount Vernon, which is not funded by federal funds. Or a visit to the NRA museum.

Rush also played a couple of satire songs -- Obama singing the 60's folk 'Take a Load Off Annie,' with the words, 'pull the plug on granny.' Another satire was to Randy Newman's 'Short People' song -- Obama singing that about not liking old people and also including fat people.

About 800,000 government employees - about a third of the over 3 million large work force - might be effected by a shut-down.

Rush started off the show explaining how the Dems are just recycling the same old and tired rhetoric. He played vintage clips of Dems complaining about budget issues and it's exactly the same song and dance going on now.

What Rush Said - April 5, 2011

When rugged individualism is described to liberals it's like Dracula being shown a Cross.

Rush played a clip of Chris Van Hollen, which perfectly embodies Dems and Libs reading from the same tired playbook. Rush poses a question to Van Hollen's disingenuous complaints, paraphrasing Rush, "The Republicans want to return to 2008 levels - that's your budget. You mean to tell me Mr. Van Hollen that the elderly where thrown out of their homes in 2008? You mean that the 2008 budget, which you did, is full of tax breaks for wealthy corporations?"

Pelosi and Van Hollen complain about block grants, yet that is how money is sent to States. It's okay for states but not medicaid? Rush goes through a litany of all the money given to ATT, Verizon, GE for their union medical plans.

Rush explains: It's on the Democrats is the government shuts down. When it came time for the Dems to do a budget, they punted, they didn't do it. Rush says, "I want to see how the sausage is made....I want to see this play out in the media." Obama appearing about the budget is a sign that things aren't going well for the Dems. Rush mocks the same old complaints that the Dems have been saying for 30 years - boo hoo.

Rush has some ideas of where to cut the budget - GE in bed with the Regime cut their sweet heart tax deal, and how about getting rid of subsidies that fund wealthy companies developing the bogus green energy.

The Democrat party assumes no responsibility for the budgetary problems. They didn't do a budget last year, didn't do a budget this year. "We are the good guys, trying to clean it all up" the Tea Party, all the way up. The Democrats are MIA. The Democrats are getting a free ride form the media. The "masterminds of destruction." We are, "trying to get the car out of the ditch." Rush, "You can't top Obama for Chutzpah." This is the same guy who said, "I won." The same guy who didn't meet with Republicans after he was "immaculated" who now says, we can't have a , "no my way or the high way approach." Rush is pretty fired up.

Rush's closing observation - very curious how the media dropped the topic of the budget after Obama came out unexpectedly and talked about it. Do they [the media] think he gave away too much. Very strange this was all they could talk about before Obama came out and talked about it and now the media is on to other topics. Makes you wonder.

What Rush Said - April 4, 2011

The timing of the announcement of Obama's reelection campaign and Eric Holder's announcement about the military tribunal of 9/11 defendants being held in Gitmo is no coincidence.

What Rush Said - March 30, 2011 - Trump esq. You have to go to Africa to find something named after Obama

Rush quotes an attorney for Donald Trump regarding Trump's issuing his birth certificate, [paraphrasing] "Of course Trump was born in New York, just look at all the buildings named after him. You have to go to Africa to find something named after Obama." Rush correctly noted the New Jersey elementary school, now closing, that was named for Obama.

Open line Friday was today, Wednesday, as Rush explains he will be in Hawaii to appear before the Honolulu City Council regarding his mocking "Chi-com" president. That and some golf.

Rush played a satire song of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" with Obama singing - alternate words.

Rush is reading about a "Barack Obama male leadership academy." He remarks: What chutzpah. He also wonders if identification will be required.

A caller asked who was more of a threat Gaddafi or Obama. Rush remarked that it was really a good question: Who is more of a threat to the US economy Gaddafi or Obama?

What Rush Said - Tuesday March 29, 2011 - Obama Doctrine:2012 or bust

Rush: on Obama's speech on Libya. The Obama Doctrine: 2012 or bust.

A caller was puzzled over Obama's speech, he didn't recognize Obama speaking positively about America. Rush reminded him that, "liberals have to lie to win elections."

Rush talks about how liberals fight freedom. Rush: freedom threatens liberalism.

The number one enemy of liberals is freedom. The Right does not fear freedom but liberals do. He gives the example of Wisconsin.

Rush explains that Obama is undermining the sovereignty of the United States at the same time he is strengthening the UN. Obama side stepped the US Congress and got approval from the UN. Remember Obama considers himself a global citizen.

What Rush Said - during Week of March 21st, 2011 - flying by the seat of our pantsuit

Here's a highlight that says it all. If memory serves, it came about during a discussion about Libya: We're [America under the Obama regime] flying by the seat of our pantsuit.

What Rush Said - March 16, 2011 - Hillary wants out!

Rush ending the show with transcript excerpt of Wolf Blitzer interview with Hillary Clinton. Blitzer asked Mrs. Clinton a variety of questions -- if Obama has a 2nd term would she want to be Secretary of State? Secretary of Defense? Vice President? President? Answers: No, No, No, and No!

Paraphrasing - the gist, just heard it but, as I was not transcribing the precise words have evaporated in the ether: In a unambiguous swipe at the Obama and his administration - Clinton added that democrat ideals run the risk of loosing when an autocrat is running amuck ramming policies through.

Earlier in the show Rush compared the media's fear mongering about the nuclear situation in Japan to the media's panic mongering with the BP Oil Spill. Rush reminded viewers that his assessment of the ocean handling the oil through the natural process of the ocean was exactly what happened. RUSH cautions that he does not see a reason for panic in the US and that it no radioactive cloud is going to travel from Japan to our West Coast. He sites the distance and dissipation that would occur.

Rush played a clip that interspersed breathless 'sky is falling' reporters reading various serious headlines with Obama's basketball picks. [These are facsimalies of the clips.]

Reporter: "Reports are that a fire has broken out at another reactor [in Japan."

Obama: "Ahhhh, I like Carolina."

Reporter: "The housing market numbers are down significantly."

Obama: "Ahhh, I'm going with Syracuse."

While this was clever audio editing and a funny audio bit, the reality of it is very disturbing.

Rush touched on the media now starting to inquire about where's Obama. Rush played clips of a press conference where Obama was questioned repeatedly about his leadership, or rather lack thereof, in making a decision about Libya.

Toward the end of the show Rush played a clip of a White House press spokesman [missed the name] who was asked about whether Obama was still planning a trip to the, I believe, Bahamas in wake of events going on in Japan. The answer, again paraphrased, "That is a crisis for Japan, it's not a crisis for America."

[Commentary outside of the Rush's comments - I saw a tweet about this and wonder the same in context of combining the questions about Obama's leadership and Hillary's interview. Maybe those trying to predict the Republican Presidential candidates should wonder who the Democrat challengers to Obama will be.

What Rush Said - March 14, 2011 - Media Scare Tactics Meltdown

I missed the beginning of the show but when I did pick it up it was clear Rush was commenting on the fear mongering and slanted reporting by the media about Japan's nuclear reactors. Reading from comments from Dr. Josef Oehmen, a research scientist at MIT it is revealed that not only are news reports plain bad, they are plain wrong as in inaccurate. Here are two links about Dr. Oehman's remarks - first from businessinsider.com and second from bravewnewclimate.com

As Rush explains there is a risk to everything. He quotes from the EIB's official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsvilles who said, "Practical energy sources are inherently risky. There is risk associated with virtually everything, particularly in energy production -- and the reason is is that we need so much of it. There's no way to provide it without using concentrated forms of it. Petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear, those are all concentrated."

Rush explains that liberals want you to believe that they can have a utopia without risk. Along with risk is also reward. The high standard of living enjoyed in the United States is something that liberals want to undo for whatever convoluted reason. So they and through their media minions use scare tactics to stop progress. Of course, there's a false promise as there is no utopia. The media, and all leftist liberals, are using scare tactics and fear mongering to kill nuclear power. The left demonizes those who take the risk of exploration, and refinement, and distribution - using the oil industry as an example. People who work hard to provide us a life where you have an expectation there is gasoline at the gas station and you can be comfortable in your home by adjusting your thermostat. The liberals want to take risk out and there goes your standard of living.

Rush also suggests that Obama needs to learn from Japan whose financial situation is such that 200% of Japan's GDP is debt.

Later in the show Rush discussed the talking points the libs have criticising U.S. Rep Peter King on his hearings on Muslim Radicalization in American where they suggest such hearings with encourage more terrorism. Well then, Rush concludes, their (the libs and medias) ongoing criticism of the Tea Party ought to increase the Tea Party ranks. The same goes for their bashing Sarah Palin and, based on the liberal logic, support for Palin should be bolstered everything they trash her.

Rush tries to make sense of the nonsense. I didn't need to hear from Rush that the reports about Japan's nuclear situation were alarmist.

What Rush Said March 2, 2011 - no collective bargaining against tax payers,examples of democrat hypocrisy

- George Meany - former AFL-CIO head who wrote about no collective bargaining with public sector jobs. He recognized (along with other libs) the importance that if tax payers hate the government that doesn't help them. Rush explains you can't collectively bargain against tax payers.

- There is dissension in the ranks among democrats who have fled from Wisconsin. A female lawmaker, Julie Lassa, who is reportedly 6 months pregnant is not happy. How outrageous is it that a union is keeping a woman from her responsibilities as a wife and mother? Rush asks what the outrage would be if a private company was doing the same in order to get a contract negotiated. Imagine, he suggests, if Walmart was keeping a pregnant woman from home to get a contract approved. There would be congressional calls to shut the company down.

- Rush points out yet more democrat hypocrisy regarding call for justice Thomas to recuse himself in relation to a future health care hearing. "What," Rush said, "about Kagan?"

- 14 year old called in and asked if the same liberals protesting in Wisconsin who are littering all over Wisconsin, aren't the same ones who tell us that littering is ruining the planet.

What Rush Said March 1, 2011: Bogus Polls

Bogus Polling Data Done By State Run Media

Regarding Wisconsin and battle of unsustainable Union benefits, many in the state run media are reporting on a newly published poll that suggests a majority of American's support public employee union demands. Rush drills down through the story, reported in the New York Times, to the 7th paragraph on the 17th page of the paper where the breakdown of who participated in the poll is spelled out. While in the general population no more than 12% are in unions, over 25% of those polled were in a union. Another 25% of poll participants had a family member in a union. Is it any surprise then, when this group was questioned about union support, the results came down on the side of unions and against Governor Walker.

Paraphrasing that Rush remarks that this poll is yet another example of the state run media trying to change the facts, change the story, and ignore the results of the election in November and the trend moving forward.

Rush also had a great interview with Donald Trump - who had very good, although disturbing information about China and the devastation their policies are wreaking havoc on our Nation.

What Rush Said February 25, 2011: Obama = Nero

In context of discussion about questionable Obama responses to events in Libya - after a caller expressed dismay at the fact the White House was holding a Motown celebration while the Middle East is, "going to hell in a hand-basket," the discussion turned to the seemingly excessive amounts of parties and vacations the First Family has. The comparison to the phrase about ancient Roman ruler Nero was made by EIB* staff. That of the legendary situation of Nero fiddling** while Rome burned. Rush provided an ancient history lesson, remarking, according to the tale, that Nero set the fire, then played a fiddle while Rome burned. Rush further explained that Nero wanted to rebuild Rome in his image. He left the Obama-is-like-Roman-Emperor-Nero comparison there for the audience to draw their own own conclusions.

[* Excellence In Broadcasting, Rush's network.]

[** Historically, Nero likely playing a Lyre.]

What Rush Said - February 24, 2011: Obama - Reckless and Lawless

Rush describes the Obama presidency as reckless and lawless. He references everything from Obama ignoring federal law, undermining states, and his lackluster and uneven response to the ongoing events in the Middle East.

What Rush Said February 1, 2011

Just a quick highlight that came up at the end of the program. Rush said, that maybe we can get Mubarak to get Obama to step down. Funny.
