RUSH: Let\u2019s go, the audio sound bites, as promised. As you know, I don\u2019t like opening the show with this stuff because there are things far more important than what was said about me on TV the night before. But here we go. First up is a montage revved up by what I said yesterday<\/a> about Newt not really wanting to take Romney<\/a> out like Perot wanted to take Bush out.<\/p>\n

HUME: Rush Limbaugh today was down Gingrich\u2019s smokestack on this, likening it, his attacks, to those coming from Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n

MOLINARI: You have people like Rush Limbaugh who are attacking people like Newt.<\/p>\n

YELLIN: Newt Gingrich <\/a>came under attack by Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

ZELENY: There\u2019s a lot of backlash today from Republicans, from Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

MATTHEWS: Rush Limbaugh went on the attack.<\/p>\n

WILLIAMS: I\u2019m quoting The Limbaugh, “Using the language of the left.”<\/p>\n

HAYES: Zing. That\u00c2\u2019s a tough criticism from Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

SCHMIDT: Rush Limbaugh condemned Newt Gingrich.<\/p>\n

SMITH: Rush Limbaugh cut through all of it and about sliced him to pieces today.<\/p>\n

STEIN: Rush Limbaugh, I mean, that is an amazing thing for Romney to get.<\/p>\n

GEIST: Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry are driving Rush Limbaugh in the arms of Mitt Romney.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s just a montage. That\u2019s every network that you can think of. Here is Steve Schmidt specifically. Schmidt ran McCain\u2019s campaign. Schmidt, once a week on these shows. Not even asked, just volunteers. I don\u2019t change the way people vote. He points out that, you know, I didn\u2019t want McCain in 2008 and we ended up with McCain. Limbaugh doesn\u2019t change the way people vote. He was on MSNBC\u2019s primary coverage last night for the New Hampshire primary, and Lawrence O\u2019Donnell said, “There are decisions people make about how they will not make their money. I don\u00c2\u2019t think Mitt Romney\u00c2\u2019s ever made a decision, based on what we know of his economic history so far that, ‘even though that\u00c2\u2019s legal I don\u00c2\u2019t want to make my money that way.\u2019 Evangelical Christians have things that they will not do for money that are legal, including casino involvement. So I do think that this something that is going to be a problem haunting Romney for the way he\u2019s talking about the way he earned his money.”<\/line><\/p>\n

SCHMIDT: The attacks on Mitt Romney are grotesque distortions of what his record is. It will be interesting to see, I think, in the next two contests whether the Republican candidates who are making that line of attack back off on it. There\u2019s huge push-back in the party, huge push-back in the talk radio world. Rush Limbaugh condemned Newt Gingrich, condemned Rick Perry today. So it will be very interesting to see how this plays out in a contest that in a lot of ways fundamentally is shaped up as a litmus test as to what is and what is not conservative.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, again, this is Schmidt who ran McCain\u2019s campaign and is establishment in all the way for Romney. So now I\u2019m a good guy, at least for last night. John Sununu, George H. W. Bush\u2019s chief of staff from the first term. This was on Boston TV, WCVB, coverage of the New Hampshire primary, and one of the anchors said, “You\u2019ve known Newt Gingrich for a very long time. What\u2019s your message to Newt in light of the fact that he\u2019s gonna go after Mitt Romney?”<\/p>\n

SUNUNU: You know, I don\u2019t have to say anything. Even Rush Limbaugh and the Club for Growth, they\u2019re all chastising Newt Gingrich for being against free enterprise. Newt\u2019s got a problem now, not Governor Romney. He\u2019s not as bright as he thinks he is, and, frankly, it\u2019s not the new Newt, it\u2019s the old Newt all over again.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You can see that in establishment Republican circles, they do not like Newt at all. And I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s rooted in the fact that Newt is conservative. There are other reasons, but the fact that Newt\u2019s conservative is one of the reasons there is such vitriol. This morning on The Daily Rundown, PMSNBC, F. Chuck Todd had a big panel out there, including former White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton. F. Chuck Todd played the bite where I suggested that they rerun the ad and tag it with, “I\u2019m Barack Obama, and I approved this message.” Because it was the same line of attack that Obama\u2019s gonna take against Romney, and I said, “Newt, just put that on there.” And then F. Chuck said to Bill Burton and some of the others on the panel, “Is Rush right about this?”<\/p>\n

BURTON: I\u2019ll tell you what, I think that Mitt Romney\u2019s vulnerable on this, but mostly because he has such a hard time explaining what it was he was doing when he was in private —<\/p>\n

TODD: Newt Gingrich using the language you would approve of?<\/p>\n

BURTON: I think he\u2019s actually going after him in a way that is gonna be effective with conservatives, and if you look at the polls this is something that is resonant even with Republicans, which goes to show why it\u2019s gonna be so resonant in the general election.<\/p>\n

COSTA: Conservatives don\u00c2\u2019t want a war on free enterprise. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

BURTON: Rush Limbaugh doesn\u00c2\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, people are mad at me, “What you did yesterday, I mean you\u2019re giving the left all this ammo. The left is now quoting you.” Hey, I didn\u2019t do this. I\u2019m not the one running this line of attack. I\u2019m not the one assaulting capitalism. I\u2019m not the one using the language of the left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
