RUSH: Karen Finney is the Democrat strategerist. She was on MSNBC last night. They were in total shock, total shock. “Santorum won last night! Santorum? Conservative women<\/a>? How can this happen? “ Karen Finney<\/a>, big-time Democrat strategerist, said it hurt her that women voted for Santorum.<\/p>\n

FINNEY: (haltingly) Well… This woman vote really hurts me, I gotta say. (snickering) It\u2019s a little painful \u2019cause I\u2019m wondering if those women really heard the full message that: Yes, there is the economy, but if you\u2019ve gotta worry about your basic health care, how are you then gonna be able to do what you need to do in terms of having a job, paying your rent, taking care of your kids.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In other words, she can\u2019t believe that the women voting in Republican primaries are concerned about the economy first. Exit poll data: 75% of the people voting, including women: What\u2019s the number one issue but the economy! She\u2019s ticked off. They\u2019re not selling this war on women business. She actually thinks women are gonna be concerned about being denied abortion or birth control pills? She thinks that\u2019s what Santorum\u2019s about? They think that they have succeeded in convincing the American people that Republicans equal no abortion and no birth control pills. And they can\u2019t believe it when you women aren\u2019t falling for what they are trying to tell you is happening, that you are stuck in the economy.<\/line><\/p>\n

So you\u2019re stupid. “Oh, yeah, it\u2019s okay to be concerned about the economy. Well, what about your health? What good is the economy if you don\u2019t have any health, and the Republicans want to destroy your health! Aren\u2019t you listening to us?” That\u2019s why she\u2019s upset. So the question was asked of her: “Santorum did particularly well in Alabama among working women. Karen, can you believe this? And even after sending out a mailer with a quote from Rush Limbaugh, Santorum… Can you believe it, Karen? You were in Alabama! Can you explain this to me? How does it happen that women vote for Santorum even after he sends out a flier with Limbaugh\u2019s quote on it?”<\/p>\n

FINNEY: You know, I\u2019m stunned. Uh, the only explanation that I can come up with is — and I think this would be a question I\u2019d want to go back and ask these women. For these women: Did race — or… or, in other words, “conservative values;” that\u2019s the code, right? — trump gender? You know, it\u2019s still a very conservative state. The racial issues are alive and well in Alabama and Mississippi. Remember those polls that we saw where large percentage don\u2019t believe in interracial marriage and think the president is a “Mooslem.” So clearly there is some sort of racial stuff in there, and I wonder if that — ultimately for white working women — trumps their own gender.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So you white working women, who the Obama\u2019s campaign\u2019s abandoned you anyway. Specifically your husbands, soon to be you. Karen Finney, spokesman (paraphrased), “Don\u2019t you Republican women understand what\u2019s going on here? Don\u2019t you understand the code word was ‘conservative values\u2019 means ‘race\u2019? Don\u2019t you understand?” So you Republican women are being fooled. Just so silly, you\u2019re so stupid. You don\u2019t understand the Republican war on women out to deny you birth control pills and now you don\u2019t understand as you\u2019re actually voting for a bunch of racist pigs. Democrats are beside themselves. Same network, MSNBC. A question to Richard Wolffe, reporter. Do you think Santorum really signed off on that after all Limbaugh\u2019s been through and been in the news about? You think Santorum really put that quote from Limbaugh on his flier knowingly?”<\/p>\n

WOLFFE: Rush Limbaugh still has an audience, even though we all think that he should be losing it. If you are a Christian conservative who is also a woman and maybe you don\u2019t actually care for the other side of the Rush Limbaugh debate, and Rick Santorum is your family values guy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Rush Limbaugh still has an audience, even though we all think he should be losing it,” and you stupid white Republican conservative women, you don\u2019t care! You\u2019ll vote for racists every time. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the media has decided they have learned about you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve got an audience that the media has probably just doubled while they sit out there telling themselves that I should be losing audience. <\/p>\n

Gotta take a break here at the top of the hour. We\u2019ll play these sound bites again. They\u2019re worth having you hear what the Democrats think of you one more time.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you were with us at the conclusion of the previous hour and heard the three sound bites from Democrat strategist Karen Finney, I think you would agree with me it sounds like Karen Finney is launching a war on Southern women. Karen Finney and the Democrats are clearly not happy with the way you Southern women voted yesterday. Not happy with you at all. And they think you\u2019re being duped or you\u2019re racists or you don\u2019t hear the racist code words in the Republican Party, and you\u2019re not putting your health first. You women concerned about the economy, don\u2019t you understand? That\u2019s not the important thing. The important thing is the Republicans want you to get sick! <\/p>\n
