RUSH: Rachel in Manhattan. Rachel, thank you for waiting. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. You know, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a racist. She\u2019s a racist all right. She doesn\u2019t like black conservative men like Allen West. The horrible things she said about him, I think there was some kind of rally in front of his campaign office in October of last year before the election, that he hates women, and now she\u2019s a liar, she is nasty, she\u2019s the one that voted for Obamacare that took out the $500 million —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s key. That —<\/p>\n
CALLER: But she\u2019s a racist.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That is key.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You gotta give it back to them, Rush. She is a racist. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n
RUSH: She is running around trying to tell south Florida residents that Allen West wants to cut Medicare and Social Security when she herself voted for Obamacare which cut $500 billion from Medicare. Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz is deranged, folks. She is typical of today\u2019s American left. They are deranged. We face a delusional enemy. So this woman takes to the floor of the House and violates long-standing decorum by calling out another member.<\/p>\n
Now, I couldn\u2019t care less. Times are we they are, but the House does have that understanding that members are not to be called out. She did it, and West replied. You know, West is a tough guy, and he is a brilliant man, and he\u2019s a good and decent man, and he has served in the US military. He\u2019s gone up against people far tougher than Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz, and so he fired back. This is not the first time she said this stuff about Allen West. She says it all the time in south Florida. It\u2019s the first time she said it on the floor of the House. So what did she do? She ran like a little crybaby to all these other left-wing women of the Democrat Party to help her out, and they start returning fire that West is the racist and West is the sexist and so forth.<\/p>\n
Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted for the death panels. Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted for Obamacare, which is gonna blow up the American health care system if it is fully implemented. She is the one who is going to have the blood on her hands of an absolutely horrid piece of legislation. But you have to ask yourself, why are they going after Allen West? What happened here? I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on, I\u2019ll tell you why you go after Allen West: He\u2019s effective. Allen West is one of a few who routinely stands up, speaks positively about the country and conservatism; he opposes the left-wing agenda; he does it and articulates it flawlessly, and as such, he\u2019s made himself a big target.<\/p>\n
Now, I think that it\u2019s clear they\u2019re gonna take him out. The whole point here, they have made a strategic decision to take Allen West out. Where are the charges of racism here? Here is a white woman from south Florida going after an African-American. You reverse this situation, you make the African-American a Democrat and the woman a conservative, and you check the difference in reaction here. They\u2019re trying to take Allen West out and if they succeed the result will be that no other conservative\u2019s gonna ever have the guts to stand up and speak his mind and say what needs to be said for fear of the same treatment, because if you\u2019ve noticed nobody on the Republican side is coming to West\u2019s defense, which is a huge error.<\/p>\n
So we\u2019ve got our guys, we got West and a couple of others, good guys, speak out, they end up being targeted, and no one comes to their defense within the party. They leave it all up to people in talk radio to do it. So the left goes out, forms their attack squads. Here we have a war hero, Allen West, a war hero, a great conservative, dared to fire back at these lunatics, and here comes this delusional, deranged nut, and he\u2019s alone. He\u2019s alone in this. Why? Anyway, I think it\u2019s an indication of what\u2019s out there, and if she gets away with this, I\u2019m telling you: he\u2019s a target. they\u2019re trying to take him out any which way they can. These people are constantly scheming this way, and if they get away with this, folks, I guarantee you, you know, you\u2019re always calling me, “Why don\u2019t the Republicans say this or why don\u2019t the Republicans do that?” No Republican\u2019s gonna do diddly-squat if they succeed in taking Allen West out because none them are gonna want to be the next target. It\u2019s just that simple. It\u2019s time for somebody to return fire from the position of the party itself. Realize what\u2019s going on here. How can you not realize what\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lisa in Akron, Ohio, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, hello, Rush. It\u2019s a great thrill to speak to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I will be quick. I have called John Boehner\u2019s office, and I am going down my directory of Republican women serving in Congress. They need to have a press conference and defend Allen West against Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I\u2019m tired of this.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, I understand. This is something traditionally Republicans don\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, it\u2019s time to stand up, Rush. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m done with the Democrats; I\u2019m done with their bullying. I\u2019m sorry to interrupt you, but I can\u2019t stand this anymore. What she is getting away with is unforgivable, and Colonel West deserves better from his own party.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, the problem that Colonel West has in terms of his own party is he\u2019s a conservative, and they\u2019re not crazy about them. The Republican Party leadership, especially the establishment gang inside the Beltway, they\u2019re just not crazy about conservatives. Conservatives are a bunch of nuts.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, Rush, then I\u2019m a nut.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019ll guarantee you that some of the Republican leadership in Washington looks at Allen West as a kook.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I accept that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Just like they would look at me as a kook.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And me, too, and I consider that a compliment anymore.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I wear that label with pride, Rush. It\u2019s time to stand up to these people. It\u2019s time to put aside this politeness and move ahead and start defending the people who are telling the truth. I started with Marsha Blackburn, and I\u2019m going down my list, and I\u2019m also calling the Republican congressman from Florida and saying, “You know, you people need to get on this and defend one of your own,” and so that\u2019s all I have to say. I want to thank you for your time, and I appreciate everything you do, Rush. I\u2019ve been listening for about 21 years.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you\u2019re more than welcome, and God bless you. You\u2019re doing the Lord\u2019s work out there. As long as you\u2019re making phone calls, you might as well pass along your thoughts on this latest rumor about a grand bargain being on the verge of being stuck.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I almost had a heart attack when I heard you speak of that, because I was just on the phone with Speaker Boehner\u2019s office and he said, “Well, we\u2019re really not getting very many calls about Congressman West because we are really talking about the budget here.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: To which I replied: “Cut, Cap, and Balance, and nothing else.” So I\u2019ve done my part; I\u2019m making my phone calls. I drive my friends crazy.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: And so there you go, Rush. I hope you have a good day, and thank you for your time.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thanks. I relate, by the way, to driving your friends crazy.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (giggles) I know. We\u2019re on the same page.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Darrell in Chicago. Darrell, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Pleasure to talk to you, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: All right. I just wanted to let you know that if anything that they pass, that Boehner comes out with that he wants to have us agree to has any tax increases in it whatsoever — be it removing the deduction for the mortgage interest or anything. Anybody that votes for that on the Republican side will be primaried, I guarantee you. I know I will. I\u2019ve been talking to a lot of people and everybody says if anybody does that, breaks that pledge. We remember now why the structure that we have of government was put in place in the first place. We haven\u2019t used it because we get comfortable before, “Oh, we know this guy. He\u2019s okay. Times are okay,” but those times are over. Anybody that does that is gonna be primaried. I have a great feeling that\u2019s gonna happen across the board on any Republicans that offer tax increases no matter how (garbled).<\/p>\n
RUSH: Are you an official Tea Party guy?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, I consider myself a member of the Tea Party, absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. All right. So I think folks ought to listen to what you\u2019re saying. I think there are a number of people out there — a considerable number of people — who, if there is any kind of compromise that gives Obama anything he wants in this deal when he\u2019s on the verge of caving himself and collapsing, there is going to be hell to pay for Republicans. They\u2019d better be very careful. There\u2019s a reason they\u2019re nervous. Look, what do we have? We had secrecy before Obamacare, we had secrecy before the stimulus, and now we got secrecy and mystery before this. We\u2019re having to rely here on leaks, and the purpose of the leak is to set the stage, to set people up. No transparency whatsoever.<\/p>\n
We have no idea in our own country, the United States of America, what our elected representatives are actually talking about. We do not know what the status of these things are. We have to rely on news reports that we inherently, instinctively distrust. But, “Why all the secrecy?” is my point. If this is such a great deal — if it\u2019s a great deal, we\u2019re on the verge of a great deal — why isn\u2019t anybody out there calling a press conference and saying, “Look at what we\u2019ve just done for you! Look at what we\u2019ve just done for America! Look at the great progress. It works. We have come to a deal. It\u2019s great for the country”? Why isn\u2019t that happening? Why all the secrecy? Well, the answer is obvious: They know we\u2019re not gonna like it, and they\u2019re just assuming that things aren\u2019t gonna change when it comes to the voters, either.<\/p>\n
They are assuming, folk that here in July of 2011, whatever happens will be long forgotten and trumped and superseded by whatever issues happen between now and the election, particularly the events of a campaign. So, they\u2019re counting all this being forgotten, guarantee you.<\/p>\n
Bill in San Antonio, Texas. Hello, sir. Great to have you on the program. Bill in San Antonio, Texas. I guess Bill isn\u2019t there. He\u2019s not there? He\u2019s not there. Well, says up there that he\u2019s been unemployed seven months and he\u2019s angry, not depressed. He wanted to react to the story from Dr. Keith Ablow that dealt with people that had been unemployed for over a year, up to 99 weeks that they ended up being depressed. He\u2019s been unemployed seven months. He\u2019s still angry. Hopefully the reason he\u2019s no longer there is \u2019cause he just got a call to go on a job interview.<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s next? Jeremy in Breaux Bridge, whatever. I don\u2019t know what “LOA” is. Welcome to the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you. I\u2019ve been calling a lot, trying to get through, and this is the first time. I just wanted to comment on the fact that from what I\u2019ve seen — and I know personally myself, but from what I\u2019ve seen — there\u2019s a lot of Democrats leaving the Democrat Party. I want to get a T-shirt that says, “The party left me behind” because I\u2019m going to reregister as Republican as soon as I can. You know, the economic policies they put us through has left me in a serious bind. I\u2019m a very big social liberal, but I can\u2019t deal with it. It seems like Republicans are the only ones who actually know how to run the economy and get things right. I was in high school when Bush was in office, and I was exposed to a lot of the stuff you say in the “skrools.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You know, I\u2019m in Louisiana. So that makes things a little bit different. There\u2019s more of a conservative lean down here but you still have a number of them, the teachers out there with liberal slant. I was exposed to a lot of that, and it wasn\u2019t until like when I started working here — I\u2019ve been working since around 2006 — and every day I listen to your program, it\u2019s just like every day I\u2019m a getting more and more leaning towards the right leaning towards the right \u2019til finally I gotta leave the Democrats.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I can\u2019t thank you enough. Just look at me, folks, as the flag: If you\u2019re listening to me, you\u2019re looking at the American flag. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
