When the news is about them, all of a sudden, the state-controlled media can really keep secrets!

RUSH: The aspect of the media making Tiger was in the fabrication of an image of Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect Husband, Mr. Perfect Father, Mr. Perfect Workout Guy, Mr. Perfect Man, Mr. Perfect Golfer, Mr. Perfect Corporate Spokesman, Mr. Perfect Everything.

RUSH: This country is much better than what is happening now.

RUSH: CNN anchor Don Lemon is making the case that it's inappropriate to say, quote, "N-word," unquote. Just go ahead and use the N-word. Just go ahead and use it. Now, why? Well, because a couple of CNN anchors and anchorettes have inadvertently used the word the last couple of weeks.

RUSH: From AP: "The Florida State Attorney Angela Corey has decided not to use a Grand Jury in the Trayvon Martin shooting death investigation." ... And a handful of protesters, dozens, shut down the Sanford police department.

RUSH:  So James O'Keefe was allowed to call himself Eric Holder.  You didn't have to produce a photo ID.  Now, we gotta be very careful here.  He did not say he was Eric Holder.  He did not commit any fraud here.  He just asked if there was an Eric Holder, and the guy said, "Yeah."

RUSH: You know, this LA Times story is not the first.  We had last week a CNNMoney.com story, same thing:  "Rising Gas Prices Aren't as Bad as You Think."

RUSH: What are you gonna do out there, folks, when the government tells you you have to buy a gun?  If they ever told you that, you libs, what are you gonna do?

RUSH: Without smokers and their purchases of tobacco products there wouldn't be the money to fund children's health care programs, and I don't care how that makes you feel, that is an irrefutable reality.

RUSH: Claire McCaskill, a Senatorette from my home state of Missouri, says, "Let's try national health care first, let's just see."  Try it.

RUSH: There's a massive move on to try to make the literally devastating realities of this economy seem like no big deal. The media is working with the White House; the government is publishing phony data.

RUSH: If you want to know what Obama is all about, it's he'll do better with your money than you spending it with some of these robber barons and corporate raiders and so forth. And with Obama in charge of that money, he'll be fair about it. He'll make sure that everybody gets their fair share now. Except him and his buddies. They'll get a little bit more.

CALLER: Historically, in terms of implementing coercive regulation, Americans are terrified of the IRS. And I think by doing this, it might be a nice reality check for people who think that this health care plan is this fluffy cotton candy plan to go, "Holy smokes! This is pure infringement of individual liberty."
