RUSH: Quickly to the phones, to Port Huron, Michigan. Mike, I'm glad you called, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Thank you, Rush. And let me say real quick: It is an honor. I'm a trucker, and when I can't get you, I listen to other radio stations, and they all envy you. I tell them the reason they don't have your audience and the respect that you have is because their message is not what the majority of America wants to hear. And that quickly being said, like I said I am a trucker,...

RUSH: Well, the State-Controlled Media is just over the top here, folks. They can't believe it. News flash, news alert, "Republican Olympia Snowe has announced that she will vote for the Baucus bill," surprise, surprise, oh, goody goody goody.

There's so many outrageous, fabricated lies. There is a genuine full-fledged smear campaign being orchestrated by liberal sportswriters and picked up by other liberals in...

RUSH: I think the best way to describe what's happening in America today is a circle of strife, you know, the old phrase is the circle of life. Circle of Strife. Obama attacks Americans at tea parties and town halls, Americans attack Obama. Obama responds by attacking Fox News. The comedians are now attacking Obama.
