 Story #2: Rep. Steve King Stands by His Obama Remarks
RUSH: All right, "Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said he stands by his remarks to an Iowa radio station last week that a Barack Obama presidency would be seen as a win for al-Qaeda and other Muslim extremists." Did you hear about this? "'I don't want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name -- whatever their religion their father might have been,' King told KICD radio in Spencer, Iowa on Friday, March 7. 'I'll just say this: When you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States -- I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?' ... 'The fact that he has declared defeat in Iraq and said he would get the troops out immediately -- that clearly sends a message. Who do you think Al-Qaeda is for? Who are our enemies for? Who are the radical Islamics for? It's going to be Obama first, Hillary second, because they don't want to face a United States that's determined to achieve a victory.' On the radio last week, King also said of Obama: 'If he is elected president, then the, the radical Islamists, the, the Al-Qaeda, and the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11.'" And he is being pressured, and he is being put upon to apologize, and he says, "I'm not going to apologize for this. It's true!"
His point is, and if you listen to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, if you listen to any of the Al-Qaeda figures from overseas, they're using Democrat Party talking points. They have involved themselves in our election. By the way, speaking of you worried about me involving myself with the chaos effect, Rush the Vote, what do you think Al-Qaeda is doing? What do you think these wacko little dictators in some of these Islamist countries have been doing? They have been openly urging the defeat of the US military just as has been the Democrat Party. To say they don't have a vested interest in who wins the White House, that's all Steve King is pointing out. So there's a lot of pressure on people these days not to say things and it's coming from everywhere. McCain's got his talking points to supporters and his surrogates and his staff, say, "You can't say anything but this." And now Geraldine Ferraro cannot say what she said. Stupid, incorrect, correct, she can't say it, she gotta go. Pretty soon we're going to get to the point where people are going to sneak into the bathrooms of their houses to say what they really want to say to each other without fear of somebody hearing it and being offended and trying to punish them for it. I know they do that now. It's getting worse.
These are the kinds of losses of freedom and liberty that happen so slowly, and apparently under the auspices of doing good, yes, we're going to shut you up and you up and you up because you're offending people and it will be a much better world when people aren't offended by the likes of what you say. And of course then that leads to, what, fear. Nobody wants to be targeted, nobody wants to be called racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, and so they shut up. They don't tell people what they really think, other than close family members and friends in private locations where they are assured there are no cameras or microphones around. Now, Representative King said he's sticking to his refusal to apologize. "I don't feel any need to apologize," he said. "I stand by what I said. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize. I'm not wrong and (critics) know it. I'd like to have them stand up and say if they're wrong, they'll apologize." This is the way to fight this stuff, to not go on defense, but to stay on offense about it. I mean, the idea that we can only say what certain people agree with -- or that if we say things they disagree with we have to apologize and then shut up -- is just absurd.
Story #3: Evidence: Terrorists Look Forward to Obama Victory
RUSH: The editrix of the Limbaugh Letter, Diana Allocco, has sent me some interesting things here that sort of back up Iowa Congressman Steve King and his comments that Al-Qaeda and Islamofascists will be dancing in the streets if Obama wins. They demanded that he apologize, and he said, "I'm not going to apologize for it," and he went on offense even more. Let's see. All this stuff here, and a couple of news stories here. From the Corruption Chronicles, which is a Judicial Watch blog, March the 6th, 2008, let's see. Here's a little excerpt from the Corruption Chronicles, Judicial Watch blog: "Evidence seized during a Colombian military raid on the Marxist terrorist group known as Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -- it's Spanish acronym is FARC -- reveals that the group's top commandos are receiving aid from president Hugo Chavez and that they see, 'more help coming next year if Barack Obama becomes president.'"
I'm just telling you what's on these blogs out here. "One of the electronic e-mails says that gringo associates of FARC were scheduling a sit-down with Obama to lobby him, since the associates believe Obama will be the next president. The Illinois senator is quite popular among Latino American communists who view him as a spokesman for millions of Central Americans and Mexicans who migrate to the US. Last month, Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega, the head of the Marxist Sandinista Liberation Front said Obama's presidential bid is a revolutionary phenomenon in the US because he'll bring great change that will offer justice and equality toward all." Then there's this little passage. "Ramadan Adasi, leader of the al-Aqsa Brigade terror group in the West Bank's Anskar refugee camp pointed to Obama's rise to stardom as, 'an important success.' He won popularity in spite of the Zionists and the conservatives." So the al-Aqsa Brigade terror group happens to dig Obama, too.
Look, I'm just reading this stuff to you to point out that what Steve King said is true. There are people around the world who are hoping for Obama to win and they are Marxists and they are communists and they are terrorists. What, Snerdley? I know that's because he's going to talk to them, but they think they're going to get something from him after they talk to him. We don't know that he's going to give them anything, but they think so. All Steve King said was there would be dancing in the streets. This is why he's not apologizing, pure and simple. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. It's a crucial thing. Too many people give it up too willingly.
Story #4: Operation Chaos: Dems Worried Over Party Infighting
RUSH: More examples of chaos as a result of Operation Chaos here at the EIB Network, you people playing a terrific role in this, Rush the Vote. From the Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Kaufman: "'Infighting Worries Democrats. Split Between Backers Of Clinton and Obama Lifts Republican Hopes.' The groups that for months have energized the Democratic campaign and have given Democrats high hopes -- blacks, women and young voters -- are increasingly sniping at each other, raising concerns that the battle could create problems in the November election." It is frightening. It is frightening how I called this and how everybody told me, "Don't do it, don't do it, this is not good." I love it, just absolutely love it.
Story #5: Left-Wing Kooks Blame Bush Wiretaps for Spitzer
RUSH: Well, it's already happened. I guess it was Monday, I went to the Democrat Underground website, which is a blog site, and they'd already gotten started there that Spitzer was probably nabbed by Bush's warrantless spy program, the National Security Agency and FISA. And today, I think it's in the San Francisco Chronicle -- does the name Naomi Wolf mean anything to you? Well-known feminazi? She says the real story in the Spitzer saga is the intrusive government spying apparatus that caught him -- the wiretaps. George Bush personally listening in, no doubt.
