Story #1: Recreate 68 Protestors Attack Fox News Reporter
RUSH: The Democrat Party's sustenance is anger and rage. These people are angry. Did you see this poor little Fox reporter get ambushed? He went out there to talk to the Recreate 68 people. They didn't physically abuse him, but we can't play the sound bite. Nine out of every ten words was the F-bomb. F-bomb Fox News! F-bomb Fox News! We can't play it. It would be one giant beep if we did it. These people are filled with rage 100% of the time.
Story #2: Howard Wolfson Defends Wronged Clintons
RUSH: The Democrat Party is continuing to be at war with itself over the convention. They're trying to put this fire out, by the way, the fire that has erupted between the Clintons and the Obamas, and it's deep. Clinton is mad because they've given him an assigned speech topic, and you don't do that to Bill Clinton. You just don't tell Bill Clinton what he's going to say. You don't write his speech. He wants to give a speech about his great economy in the nineties and contrast it with how bad Bush's is. He basically wants to talk about himself. And Hillary wants to talk about herself and they're going to play a Ted Kennedy style video of Hillary before she speaks, and a lot of Obamaites are not crazy about that. And then this: Howard Wolfson, top advisor to Senator Clinton has weighed in on the tensions that exist there. He said, "Hillary has done more than any runner up in the history of the Democrat Party to support and campaign for the nominee since her concession," which is an out-and-out lie. (laughing) She hasn't done diddlysquat. Have you seen her there? She hasn't done anything. As recently as last weekend, she was referring to Obama as, quote, unquote, "my opponent."
 I know I'm going to be mangling this name. By the time I get through with this it's going to be "Obama bin Biden." I'm going to be saying that. It's one of these circumstances here, folks, where there's so much in my fertile mind and my mouth just can't keep up with it, even though I have a highly skilled and professional mouth. Howard Wolfson said, "After Hillary's done more than any runner up in the history of the Democrat Party," blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Wolfson notes, "There's still work to do on the Bill Clinton front, and he feels like the Obama campaign ran against and systematically dismissed Clinton's administration accomplishments, and he feels like he was painted as a racist during the primary process."
Hey, Bill, join the club! They did play the race card on you, bub, just like they play it us all the time. Clinton was right about that. They did play the race card on him. (laughing) First black president! So, anyway, Howard Wolfson says, "Senator Obama would go a long way towards healing those wounds if he were to specifically praise the accomplishments of the Clinton presidency in a line or two during his speech." So the big baby is now having his little spokesman go out there and tell Obama, "Hey, man, you better mention me Saturday night." (laughing) These people! I don't care whether you're talking about Obama or Hillary or Clinton. They all think it's about them.
Story #3: Michelle Obama's Hospital Refuses the Uninsured
RUSH: Do you know the hospital that Michelle Obama works at does not accept uninsured poor and minority patients? Michelle Obama's hospital farms them out to other area hospitals. It's true, it's true. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is true, and the McCain people even have an ad out on this. Michelle Obama, who will speak tonight at the Democrat convention -- Oh! TIME Magazine, I just saw, TIME Magazine has a story posted on Michelle (My Belle) Obama and what a tremendous sacrifice she made to further the life of her baby maker, Barack Obama. I mean, it's almost like a rewrite of all the things Hillary sacrificed in order to let Bill realize his dreams. They just keep recycling everything. Andrew Breitbart says that McCain should do an ad that would highlight the fact that Michelle Obama's on leave from the University of Chicago Medical Center, where, by the way, she makes $317,000 a year, and this job is now under scrutiny. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the University of Chicago Medical Center has a scheme that steers patients who don't have private insurance, primarily poor black people, to other health care facilities. Toni Preckwinkle, alderman for the fourth ward, said, "The medical professionals who have come to me are accusing the university of dumping patients on its neighboring institutions."
Now, my point in mentioning this, I'm sure this is not the only hospital where this happens, except in the emergency rooms. But here's the point. I was thinking about this the other day in terms of the context of just how in the tank, more so than ever before, the media is for Barack and Michelle Obama. Do you realize in all of the stories, the puff pieces that we've had on Obama for a year and a half now, there really hasn't been one to find out who he is. They don't care who he is. They don't care what he did with Bill Ayers. They don't care about his Chicago community agitating stuff. They don't care about his qualifications. They don't care about this hypocrisy with his brother living in the hut on $12 a year. None of that jibes with Obama's supposed compassion. If he'd just send his brother a $20 bill he'd come close to doubling his half-brother's annual income. He hasn't even sent him a sign for the hut that he lives in outside Nairobi that says "Hut, Sweet Hut."
Here's Michelle working at a place that turns away poor black people that don't have private medical insurance. This ought to outrage them. It ought to say phony, phony, phony, because it's Obama who keeps citing scripture, "What you do to the least of my brothers you do to me." Why has Obama not sought to help the brother living in the hut? What did they do as community organizers? Why did they try to cover up the mentorship relationship that Obama had with Jeremiah Wright? Well, we all know answer, they hate conservatives. Of course the Democrats do, but so does the media, so it doesn't matter, plus he's black, and I'm telling you, that makes this all historic to them and makes their role in their own inflated minds historic as well. It doesn't matter that he's a walking hypocritical contradiction, as is his wife. There's been no media anal exam of Barack Obama like there is now of McCain and his supposed homes and how he has no ability to relate to the common man because he has all these homes and doesn't even know how many there are.
When you sit down and you get past the comedy of it all, it is really is striking how incomplete or how nonexistent their job really is. Their job, as they and themselves admit is taught, is to poke power, find out whose powerful, who's misusing the power and they don't care. They are so consumed with fear and outrage and hatred that it doesn't matter to them who their candidate is. It doesn't matter what their candidate is. It doesn't matter to the Democrats, either. It's striking. It is really profound. Now, they know he's a big leftist and they're happy about that, don't misunderstand, but they don't know the baggage, they don't know the hypocrisy. They think they can mask it; they think they can cover it up; but they can't any longer because they don't run the show any longer, although they think they do. But there's some community organization in Chicago that needs take a look into this dumping of poor black people by the University of Chicago Medical Center. I thought this was what community agitators are supposed to do, find out how black members of the community are being mistreated and go after the people mistreating them and say, "What the hell," and cause a little trouble, but here's Michelle's own hospital, dumping uninsured poor black people and saying you go find your health care at some other institution. Where are the community organizers representing these people? Nowhere. And this is in the Chicago Sun-Times. It's in the newspaper in Chicago. But none of this stuff makes it into the Drive-By Media.
Instead, they continue this game of camouflage and mask and trying to present people as something other than what they are 'cause they know the dirty little secret is that they don't have a prayer of winning if they are properly identified and characterized as just radical leftists, which this ticket is. This ticket makes Ralph Nader look moderate. That's how leftist this ticket is. Once again, there is either some profound ignorance or some genuine stupidity that has assumed central positions of power in this party. We all that know that Obama doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. This flub on abortion, here's Obama out there at the Saddleback Church, (paraphrasing) "When does life begin? When do my babies get human rights? That's above my pay grade." You're unqualified, sir, if that's above your pay grade. Here's a human rights, community rights activist that doesn't know what babies get their human rights? That's a disqualification among supporters who realize, "Gee whiz, this guy is not going to have a prayer if this gets out."
Then Pelosi on Meet the Press yesterday lies about the Catholic Church's position on abortion, claiming they haven't decided when life begins. If that's true, then why did the Catholic Church disapprove of the pill? Because they don't want conception. Why? 'Cause that's when life begins. She's presenting herself as bigger than the Catholic Church. Certainly somewhere in the Democrat Party, the bowels of that convention out there, there's gotta be somebody just banging their head against the wall saying, "What in the world? Can we not get these people to shut up?" The most ignorant, uninformed or stupid among them rise to the top of that party, and then their words are amplified as though they are the greatest wisdom we've ever heard.

 Story #4: Wind Turbines Make Bat Lungs Explode
RUSH: Hey, here's a headline. This is from New Scientist: "Wind Turbines Make Bat Lungs Explode." I haven't read the whole story, just saw the headline, wind turbines make bat lungs explode. It may be a reason to support wind turbines.
Story #5: Aging Skank Madonna Should Hang It Up
RUSH: Look at that skank picture of Madonna that they just put up there. I'll tell you, one aspect of this country is in trouble, folks, and it's our pop culture. Some of these moron, aging people just need to pack it up, or at least start acting their age. Did you see that picture?
Story #6: Rush Makes a Suggestion for Bill Clinton's Speech
RUSH: Bill Clinton is still ticked off they've given him a speech topic for Wednesday night, foreign policy, and he doesn't want to talk about that. So there's still some potentially fun reasons to watch this convention. But that whole Michigan and Florida thing, that's just to promote unity because they're going to have a Hillary roll call. I have a topic that Bill Clinton could speak on Wednesday night. Resolved: Why we don't need a second black president of the United States. Try that out, maybe he'll go for that.
