The guy\u2019s incidiary every day, and the truth never gets in his way.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Incidiary? Is that what he said, incidiary? I am incidiary every day? What is that? What does &#8220;incidiary&#8221; mean? (interruption) That\u2019s incendiary. He said &#8220;incidiary.&#8221; I never heard of the word &#8220;incidiary.&#8221; (interruption) Oh, it\u2019s a new Democrat word, a cross between &#8220;insidious&#8221; and &#8220;incendiary&#8221;? Okay. So I\u2019m incidiary. I\u2019m incidiary. I\u2019m back to being an entertainer. Okay. Different show, same network, the anchor Kyra Phillips spoke with Democrat strategerist and DNC member Robert Zimmerman about last night\u2019s debate. She said, &#8220;Who had a better night, Perry or Romney?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ZIMMERMAN: (yelling) If the goal is to play to the extreme right-wing fringe to win the nomination, then you gotta give the edge to, uh, Governor Perry last night, with his attack on Social Security as a failure and a Ponzi scheme and his complete assault on science as a valuable or useful, uh, technology or valuable and useful educational tool. Basically, he\u2019s Rush Limbaugh with good hair.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ahhh. &#8220;Rick Perry: Rush Limbaugh with good hair.&#8221; I tell you what, I guarantee you Rick Perry is complimented by that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I have just been told that Trumka is going to be one of Obama\u2019s guests tonight. Richard Trumka. Now, I don\u2019t know if you know this or not: 500 AFL-CIO longshoremen have gone on strike out in Seattle, at a port &#8212; you haven\u2019t heard about this? &#8212; and they have taken six guards hostage. That\u2019s right, ladies and gentlemen. The Seattle Times and the AP: &#8220;At least 500 longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview about 4:30 a.m., broke out windows in the guard shack and &#8212; as longshoremen wielding baseball bats and crowbars held six guards hostage &#8212; others cut brakelines on box cars and dumped grain, according to Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Work is at a standstill at the ports in Seattle and Everett as a labor dispute that started Thursday morning turned violent. At least 500 longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview.&#8221; So the head of the AFL-CIO whose thugs took six hostages gonna be Obama\u2019s guest tonight. (interruption) I don\u2019t know if the guards are Tea Party members. Well, they\u2019re clearly sons-of-bitches and they\u2019re going down. I mean, it\u2019s clear they took these sons-of-bitches out, these guards. Jimmy Hoffa\u2019s out there having a party. Here\u2019s Trumka, who runs this union, and he\u2019s gonna be Obama\u2019s guest. Obama is probably gonna tout unions out there tonight in his speech. And, yeah, he will not condone this &#8220;incidiary&#8221; act undertaken by Trumka\u2019s people. Time for the motto, that\u2019s right: &#8220;Resist We Much!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This the same union, by the way, that went on strike in May of 2008 to protest the war in Iraq. And they are AFL-CIO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is CNN this morning on American Morning.
