RUSH: What he's essentially saying is, if we don't grant 'em amnesty, they're gonna get so mad, they're gonna become terrorists, and we don't want 'em to become terrorists... This is certifiable proof that Democrats, some Democrats from Iowa, are insane.  I don't know who it's an insult to.  Yes, it's an insult to the children, but you talk about what must this guy think of the voters in Iowa who he wants to elect him.  How stupid does he think they are?

RUSH: CNN is noticeably down today, and you can see it, see the reason why in their own headlines.  It's starting to return to normal in Ferguson.  And you can see, I mean, the credibility of key witnesses in question. It's beginning to dawn on them that the myth might not prevail here. 

RUSH: We've documented this over the 25 years of this program -- that the biggest problem Planet Earth faces is the human race.
