RUSH: Let me see if I understand this. On the one hand, we have over here “Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!” who has (with the help of his party, the Democrat Party) unleashed untold damage on America, particularly the private sector economy. We have somebody who\u2019s created a new entitlement, which is going to fundamentally forever change the relationship between citizen and government in a way never contemplated by the Founding Fathers of our country.<\/p>\n

We have rampant unemployment, underemployment — more part-time and temporary workers getting jobs than are getting full-time jobs. We have no end in sight to the economic misery that people face. It has all been done systematically and purposefully for the last 3-1\/2 years, and there\u2019s no end in sight to it. What we\u2019re hearing is the promise of more. We have the president of the United States openly saying that if you\u2019ve done anything worth anything in your life, you really haven\u2019t done it.<\/line><\/p>\n

Everybody else did it; they didn\u2019t get the credit.<\/p>\n

You are successful either because you\u2019ve stolen labor or you have stolen money or you have stolen something else. And it\u2019s time now for you to give back. We\u2019ve got the president who has never earned a paycheck, who is disdainful of the private sector in his own books. He has been surrounded by Marxists, Leninists, and avowed communists. They have been his mentors, his educators, the people who have influenced him. He\u2019s never earned a paycheck in the private sector. He wouldn\u2019t know the first thing about it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, over here we have Mitt Romney, who is Mr. Milquetoast, Mr. White Bread. He saved the Olympics. He started Bain Capital. He was the successful governor of Massachusetts. There\u2019s not a hint of scandal or lawlessness anywhere around him. But what do we have? We have “Mitt Romney is a felon<\/a>” now. “Mitt Romney is a felon. He\u2019s got offshore bank accounts. He\u2019s hiding money. He\u2019s not paying his proper amount of taxes.”<\/p>\n

We are supposed to take this and debate it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And on our side, some of us sit around and say, “Mitt, you better release your tax returns! Mitt, you better deal with this! Mitt, you better do that. Mitt, you better do this. You better respond to what they\u2019re saying, Mitt! You better come clean, Mitt.” Our guys are saying this. On the other hand, we aren\u2019t supposed to say diddly-squat about Obama because that will irritate the independents or it won\u2019t work \u2019cause the media is not on our side. We can\u2019t go on offense.<\/p>\n

The truth is, Romney is not a felon.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not hiding anything.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re supposed to debate that! We\u2019re supposed to take it as though it\u2019s a legitimate charge and refute it, and tell Romney to get his tax returns out there. But we can\u2019t say anything about Obama. So Obama can launch, in his campaign, a series of lies that we have to accept and take seriously in debate. But if anybody on our side decides to go on offense, it\u2019s bad. My question is: “Then how do we campaign?” Somebody tell me!<\/p>\n

If we can\u2019t say that while Romney was out creating jobs and building a company and saving the Olympics, Obama was blowing a little weed and snorting coke in school…? If we can\u2019t say that — if we\u2019re not supposed to say that, and if we\u2019re not supposed to say that Obama is purposefully doing damage — how are we supposed to campaign? On what basis, then, do we deserve to win this election? I want to know how. How are we supposed to win this, if we are to accept every premise they put out?<\/p>\n

And because we are honest and forthright people, whatever premise they put out, we will deal with it intellectually as the smart people we are, and then we will refute it… The point is, they can lie about our guy all day long; we accept it. But we can\u2019t even tell the truth about their guy! So would somebody tell me how we\u2019re supposed to win the election? If they can lie about us and we accept the lie, and we tell ourselves we\u2019ve gotta debate the lie and refute the lie and do it in a way to satisfy our intellectuals, fine.<\/p>\n

But we can\u2019t tell the truth about Obama.<\/p>\n

If we gotta deal with lies about our guy, and we can\u2019t tell the truth about Obama, how do we run the campaign? I need some extraordinarily expert political consultant to tell me how we do this.<\/p>\n

Now, compare the level of outrage in the media over Sununu\u2019s remarks<\/a>… And there is outrage. There\u2019s outrage over Sununu\u2019s remarks and there\u2019s outrage over my remarks, the remarks I made yesterday. Folks, I don\u2019t think we can equivocate any longer. There\u2019s only one explanation for this.<\/line><\/p>\n

When you go out and say, “If you have a business, you didn\u2019t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” and that\u2019s part of a larger sound bite where you basically attack the credibility, the achievements, the accomplishments, the character of successful people? What else explains this other than a disdain for this country? What else explains it other than a resentment, a dislike, and maybe even a hatred for the country as it was founded?<\/p>\n

What else explains it?<\/p>\n

Okay. You say that and all hell breaks loose. The media says, “It\u2019s racist! It\u2019s guttural! It\u2019s inappropriate!” Meanwhile, they can go out tell lies about Mitt Romney all day long, and that\u2019s perfectly fine, and we shouldn\u2019t respond to that. No! “In fact, Mitt, get your tax returns out!” Every list of prominent Republican names I can tell you says, “Get your taxes out, Mitt!” So, let the Democrats set the agenda. Let them go ahead and establish the premise under which our campaign is gonna be run.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, because that\u2019s how we\u2019ll prove to the independents (or whoever we\u2019re trying to prove it to) that we\u2019re nice people.”<\/p>\n

I hate this.<\/p>\n

I hate the assumptions going in that Republicans don\u2019t like people and are supporting Big Business. Everything\u2019s out of whack. It\u2019s 180 degrees out of phase. You compare the level of outrage from the media over Sununu\u2019s remarks to the lack of outrage over Obama\u2019s campaign calling Romney a felon. There no outrage! There\u2019s just, “Well, you\u2019ve gotta deal with it.” In fact, ladies and gentlemen, let me find it here. I put it near the top of the Stack, I think. It\u2019s a piece by Chris Cillizza in the Washington Post.<\/p>\n

Here it is. Right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. And, by the way, the media know that what Sununu\u2019s saying is true. The media know that what I\u2019m saying is true. Obama was a pothead. Big time, for a long time. They also know that the Bain charges are lies. But it doesn\u2019t stop them from being outraged at Sununu. They give the Obama campaign a pass. “Mitt Romney\u2019s Unsolvable Bain Problem.”<\/p>\n

Chris Cillizza, one of the many full-time Obama flacks at the Washington Post, claims in his story that “Romney\u2019s Bain problem” is “unsolvable.” He begins his piece of journalism this way: “Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney continues to struggle to get out from under questions regarding just when he departed from his job at Bain Capital. And there\u00c2\u2019s reason to believe that he won\u00c2\u2019t be able to solve his Bain problem anytime soon.”<\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t have a “Bain problem.”<\/p>\n

There is nothing “unsolvable” about Romney\u2019s “Bain problem” because there is no “Bain problem.” There is only a lie that has been knocked down by every reputable fact-check organization and news outlet, as well as by the Democrats\u2019 own local paper: The Washington Post. This “problem” is invented! It is manufactured by the Obama campaign\u2019s Truth Team. It\u2019s being ginned up by his lickspittle lackeys in our one-party media.<\/p>\n

“Mitt Romney\u2019s Unsolvable Bain Problem.” Yep, “there\u00c2\u2019s reason to believe that he won\u00c2\u2019t be able to solve” this! What\u2019s he supposed to do? He left Bain in 1999. That\u2019s it. He wasn\u2019t there in 2001. He wasn\u2019t there in 2000. He left in 1999. What do you mean, “unsolvable problem”? Yeah, he can\u2019t solve this anytime soon. This is what the left calls logic, by the way. You make something up totally out of whole cloth, then you proclaim it to be true.<\/p>\n

And then you say, “By the way, there no way Romney can fix this.” And they\u2019re right. They\u2019re not gonna let him fix it. The truth isn\u2019t what this is about. Why is it “unsolvable”? Why is this an “unsolvable” thing for Romney? Well, “because of the seeming contradictions about when he left the company — and the exotic nature of his financial life,” says Mr. Cillizza. That\u2019s why it\u2019s “unsolvable,” because of the “seeming contradictions about when” Romney left Bain.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any contradictions about when he left. And the exotic nature of his life?<\/line>You know whose lifestyle has an exotic nature is Obama\u2019s. He can\u2019t pay for anything that he\u2019s doing. Well, he can\u2019t afford very much of what he\u2019s doing. If other people weren\u2019t paying for Obama, he wouldn\u2019t be able to live 80% of his lifestyle, if we weren\u2019t paying for it. Talk about an exotic financial life. So you have here another shining example of professional propagandist at work. There are no contradictions about when Romney left Bain Capital. There\u2019s no problem. There is not a problem, so therefore there\u2019s not a Bain problem, and therefore there\u2019s not a problem that needs to be solved. There isn\u2019t a problem. The date Romney left is well established in legal documents. Romney\u2019s finances have been in a blind trust since 2003. <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>We never heard any of this kind of talk when John Kerry ran for the presidency. John Kerry is five times richer than — well, Kerry\u2019s wife is five times richer than Romney. At the time, Kerry was probably the richest man to ever run for the presidency. And John Kerry had a history of Cayman Island accounts that were not done by a blind trust, by the way. And we never even got to see a single one of Teresa Heinz\u2019s tax returns. But the news media never mentioned Kerry\u2019s wealth, not once, because they are so busy trying to figure out what to do about the truthful Swift boat vets\u2019 campaign attack. But even Cillizza admits in his piece where Romney has an unsolvable problem, he says, yeah, <\/line>“most independent fact checkers agree that Romney had no involvement in Bain\u00c2\u2019s day-to-day operations after 1999.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Somehow, though, he still has a problem that\u2019s not solvable. It says here that the issue\u2019s been made fuzzy so it won\u2019t ever go away. It\u2019s fuzzy. Yeah, it\u2019s fuzzy. Yeah, he left in 1999, but there\u2019s some fuzziness about it. So this is what passes for journalism now in the Washington Post. It doesn\u2019t matter if the charge is untrue. It doesn\u2019t matter if the charge is true. Somebody can make it fuzzy, that\u2019s good enough for them to constantly repeat it \u2019til the stupid and uninformed believe \u2019em. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a problem to solve. The whole thing\u2019s made up. The whole thing is manufactured. It\u2019s working like a charm. Meanwhile, they live and triumph on a lie and a series of lies. But we\u2019re told, don\u2019t tell the truth about Obama. Well, then, fine, somebody who\u2019s an expert campaign consultant who has a track record of winning elections, somebody tell me how we do this, then. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bruce in Sullivan, Indiana. Hi, Bruce. Thanks for waiting. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it truly is an honor. I hope you never get tired of people telling you that because it truly is an honor to speak with you today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My comment was about this success business model that the president, he believes that hard work and intelligence doesn\u2019t support to that, so, you know, I started applying his illogic to a couple different scenarios. And when I thought about how he addressed the nation when we killed bin Laden, I wonder why he thanked SEAL Team Six because, by his using his logic, weren\u2019t they people that were in the right place at the right time? Wasn\u2019t it the people who trained them and the people who manufactured the helicopters, and the people who made their Kevlar vests and their rifles, wasn\u2019t they the people that actually —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — you know, using that premise.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now that you mention that, I mean, Obama praised SEAL Team Six, but he did say I and I and I. And he clearly wanted to leave the impression that he essentially pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That he\u2019s the one that made the decision. That he\u2019s the one that had the guts. They just executed the brilliant order that he conceived and so forth. And he had to thank SEAL Team Six. It\u2019s a military unit. Going in he knows that as a Democrat he\u2019s looked at as a dove, so there\u2019s a calculated risk that he\u2019s willing to take in also crediting the SEALs. By the same token, you come by these analogies. If government is always the real reason you made it, how come government is never the reason something fails?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. I heard the other day somebody say that Romney needs to realize that he\u2019s in a UFC fight, and I agree. Not only does he need to realize that he\u2019s in the fight of his life, but he\u2019s not only fighting the guy across the ring, he\u2019s fighting everybody in the room. So I can\u2019t understand why they\u2019re so passive and going with what you\u2019ve been saying during your show today about how it\u2019s time to take the gloves off and leave everything on the table. And, you know, like this issue with releasing records and this. Why doesn\u2019t the Romney campaign say, “Okay, you want to know about me, fine, let\u2019s meet next Thursday. You bring all your school records, you bring all these things we\u2019ve been trying to get for five years that you\u2019ve been holding and we\u2019ll release it all together.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what Trump is advising him to do. You want to see my tax records? Fine, let\u2019s see your transcripts from Columbia and Harvard, let\u2019s see all this stuff.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. And just put it right back on \u2019em every time. Every time they come up with something, because I don\u2019t believe Romney has anything to hide, let\u2019s do it. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the wizards of smart on our side say that that\u2019s not the way to do this, that that kind of thing will backfire.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t see the logic. I mean, I could see it would backfire if Romney went out there by himself and released it \u2019cause the media would spin it, but if he invites Barack to stand on a stage with him and they release everything together, I think there\u2019d be a such a media firestorm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, let\u2019s take the occasion of your call, let\u2019s listen to the new Obama ad, which basically says that Romney is a tax evader. This ad ran on Obama\u2019s campaign website, BarackObama.com and the YouTube channel. The ad is entitled, “Makes you wonder.”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019m Barack Obama, and I approved this message.<\/p>\n

ANNOUNCER: Tax havens, offshore accounts, carried interest. Mitt Romney has used every trick in the book. Romney admits that over the last two years he\u2019s paid less than 15% in taxes on $43 million in income. Makes you wonder if some years he paid any taxes at all. We don\u2019t know because Romney has released just one full year of his tax returns. And won\u2019t release anything before 2010.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: You know what? I put out as much as we\u2019re gonna put out.<\/p>\n

ANNOUNCER: What is Mitt Romney hiding?<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the Obama ad. And I think I read during the program today, and I don\u2019t know if this is accurate. It was in quotes. I read something about Romney saying, “I\u2019m just not gonna give \u2019em tens of thousands of pages to pick through. I\u2019m just not gonna do it. I\u2019m just not gonna give \u2019em 10,000 pages to pick through. Let \u2019em go ahead and speculate all they want, but I\u2019m not gonna give \u2019em 10,000 pages to pick through,” knowing what they\u2019ll do with it. So he\u2019s rolling the dice. I\u2019ll withstand these ads. So last night on Hannity he talked to James Carville. Carville\u2019s got a new book out called It\u2019s the Middle Class, Stupid. And Hannity said, “President Obama\u2019s blaming Fox News, talk radio, me, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, everybody but himself for his own policies. Do you not say, in some way, James, the man has failed?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: If you are asking me what- what- what- what- what- what- what should have happened, whether they put a provision in there, sure, why not. I mean, somebody\u00c2\u2019s going to be president for three-and-a-half years, would you go back and say, “Well, do you disagree with this?” Well sure. But overall I think this President\u00c2\u2019s done a – done a doggone good job. Has he made some mistakes? Of course he has.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What did he say there? He really got tongue-tied, stammering and stuttering after hearing my name in the question. (imitating Carville) “B-b-b-b, if you\u2019re asking me, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b, shoulda happen. Whether they put a provision in there, sure, why not. I mean, somebody\u00c2\u2019s going to be president for three-and-a-half years, would you go back and say, ‘Well, do you disagree with this?\u2019 Well sure.” See, folks, I know James Carville. He\u2019s got a wife, Mary Matalin. He\u2019s got kids. The family left Washington because of what\u2019s happening to the schools there. They relocated to New Orleans. Now, you can\u2019t tell me that in quiet moments of solitude in his home in the Big Easy, you can\u2019t tell me he sits there and listens to Obama say, “You gotta business, you didn\u2019t build that. Somebody else made that.” You can\u2019t tell me Carville agrees with that. <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t imagine Carville would run out and say that himself as a surrogate on the campaign trail. (imitating Carville) “Yeah, yeah, that business out there, you didn\u2019t do that. Everybody knows you had nothing to do with that. Somebody else made that happen. Everybody knows that.” Yeah, well, what about your campaign business? “Well, yeah, I would have been nothing without Bill Clinton. If Bill Clinton hadn\u2019t hired me, I\u2019d-a been nothing. I\u2019d still be eating gumbo.” I don\u2019t believe he believes this. But his job is to get Democrats elected, that\u2019s what he\u2019s gotta do. And he\u2019ll probably get mad at me for speculating what he really believes in. <\/p>\n

Last night on Anderson Cooper 119 he interviewed David Axelrod. And Cooper said, “Are there parallels in your opinion between the Bush campaign, what he did to Kerry, and what your team is doing to Mitt Romney right now? Basically try to define him based on what\u2019s considered by his campaign a strength?”<\/p>\n

AXELROD: No, because what was done back then was to take a guy who was a certified war hero and to suggest that somehow he wasn\u2019t, and that was grossly unfair. People don\u2019t really know Governor Romney, even though he\u2019s run for president twice, is because he\u2019s never told them who he is. He\u2019s never told them what motives him. He\u2019s never put his own experience into any kind of framework that people could appreciate. And the real question to address that campaign is why did they feel that simply running negative ads against the president from the beginning was sufficient?<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is surreal. These guys are the architects of negative ads. Anyway, what Axelrod\u2019s saying here is, we\u2019re not Swift-boating Romney. Swift-boating is telling the truth about somebody. The Swift Boat <\/a>vets were telling the truth of their service with John Kerry and how he was unfit and how he was lying about it. The Obama campaign is lying about Romney, which is what they think Swift-boating is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
