RUSH: Going back to July 12, 2005 in Adelaide Australia at the University of South Australia's Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf presented a lecture entitled: "What does it take to change the relationship between the West and the Muslim world?" Here is a portion of Feisal Abdul Rauf, July 12th, five years ago.RAUF: We tend to forget in the West that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than Al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims.RUSH: Whoa.RAUF:...

RUSH: Here's Claire in Wilmington, Delaware, as we go back to the phones. Greetings and great to have you here.CALLER: Hi. Thank you.RUSH: You bet.CALLER: I want to get to my point about the mosque and a cross episode up in Vermont, but I just wanted to make some points very quickly. What was it where Obama spoke and the cross had to be covered? Do you remember that?RUSH: Yeah. Georgetown University, I think.CALLER: Okay. So when he spoke there, the cross of my God, His son, was covered....

RUSH: I've thought of a way that I want to try to explain to people the problem with an oversized public sector. You know, we sit here, ladies and gentlemen, and we talk about the public sector (government) and the private sector; and I speak oftentimes about how it's not good the public sector gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger because they really don't produce or make anything, and everything that's used to pay them has to first be produced and then taxed in the private sector. They...

RUSH: Jennifer Rubin at Commentary magazine: "How bad is the Ground Zero mosque story for the White House? Bad enough that Obama advisers are pointing fingers at the president and trying to absolve themselves of the fiasco.

RUSH: CNN's State of the Union, Howard Dean predicted the Democrats will hold Congress to Candy Crowley on CNN, the State of the Union show.DEAN: I'd bet money on the Senate for sure. The House is much tougher. I think at the end of the day we're gonna win in the House, and we're going to have a majority, it will probably be reduced to many -- perhaps as small as a five or ten-seat majority. We simply have better candidates. There's a young guy named Tommy Sowers, who is a Vietnam vet who is...

RUSH: This mosque business is not going away and there's a reason why it's not going away, and all over the Drive-By Media yesterday, "The people just don't understand." The media don't understand why people are saying what they're saying in these polls. They don't understand why 20% think Obama is a Muslim, fewer and fewer think he's a Christian, and it's really not hard to understand. You know, we, folks, have not forgotten Jeremiah Wright. When Obama says he's a Christian there are a lot...

RUSH: My brother's book is out today. I'm going to be talking more about it in detail as the program unfolds, Crimes Against Liberty, but it is the book you need to read for this election season.

We're going to be making mention of that also on the Facebook page. BREAK TRANSCRIPTRUSH: I mentioned at the top...
