By the way, we've got some audio sound bites coming up of the Drive-Bys analyzing this program and what I had to say about the Times piece and McCain. Many of them that you will hear, claim that they listen to this program every day or a part of it. I don't know what they're hearing. All of these people who say I'm 100% behind...

RUSH: Let's move on. Let's move back to the Republican campaign, which means me. The Drive-By Media last night and all afternoon yesterday were playing clips of me from this program yesterday, Dittocam clips. Two of the three nightly newscasts last night did. This program discussed all over the place, and they were wrong. They were totally wrong, and all of them admit to listening to what I said yesterday. They got it wrong. "Limbaugh is on board now, that's what it took, why, New York Times...

RUSH: To Memphis, this is Harry, you're next on Open Line Friday, Harry, nice to have you here.CALLER: Look, Rush, I would just like to have a brief debate with you in the arena of ideas. I am a moderate. I know what you think about moderates. You think we're all liberals, but before I talk about issues, I'd like to say one thing about being a "moderate." I think the word is unhelpful, Rush, because it means different things to different people. You think it's another way of people who are...

RUSH: Scott in Rockford, Illinois. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network on Open Line Friday. Hello.CALLER: Hey there, Rush. I'm a college kid, and I was in my history class, ancient history class strangely enough, but my professor digressed on to more modern topics and he was talking about Hitler and the Nazis. He ended up saying that during World War II that Hitler actually rose to power by being a conservative and a right-wing nut. At that point I laughed so hard, he kicked me out of class,...

RUSH: You know, there's been a lot of talk about plagiarism in this campaign. The charges have been going back and forth from Mrs. Clinton to Obama, Deval Patrick, and they continue. Mrs. Clinton had a couple things to say last night that also boggle the mind. By the way, welcome back to Open Line Friday, I am El Rushbo, he of the dulcet tones and the vocal vibrations, the rhetoric and resonance reflected coast to coast here via the Golden EIB Microphone. By the way, Hillary is plagiarizing...

Story #1: How 'Bout Shooting Down That Spy Satellite?RUSH: I've had this story for a couple days, and a number of things have superseded it, ladies and gentlemen. But how about shooting down that spy satellite? The reason they wanted to shoot the thing down was primarily that tank of hydrazine fuel in there that could cause the earth to burn it if it hit the atmosphere, or maybe, you know, give somebody some skin rash.
