The White House Press Secretary is now out to talk to the State-Controlled Media. They\u2019re not gonna be happy because yesterday Panetta promised &#8212; well, he assured &#8212; the photo release was coming. Here\u2019s what Obama said to Steve Kroft in taping 60 Minutes, explaining why he wouldn\u2019t release the photo of Bin Laden. He said, &#8220;Imagine how the American people would react if Al-Qaeda killed one of our troops and put photos of the body on the Internet?&#8221; They\u2019ve done that, and one of the most famous instances was Black Hawk Down when an Army Ranger was dragged through the streets of Mogadishu. They\u2019ve done that. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Daniel Pearl. <\/p>\n<p>Nick Berg. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. They\u2019ve done that. <\/p>\n<p>You know, folks, I have to say this, and I know it\u2019s Media Tweak number 20 today (chuckling), but, you know, whenever it comes down to deciding between American or Muslim sensitivities, Obama always seems to side with the Muslim sensitivities. Look at the Ground Zero mosque. He weighed that, and the Muslim sensitivities carried the day when it comes to his decision to support the building of a mosque at Ground Zero. But this other thing, I\u2019ll tell you what offends me about this. He said to CBS, &#8220;Imagine how the American people would react if Al-Qaeda killed one of our troops and put photos of the body on the Internet,&#8221; comparing a terrorist (that\u2019s Bin Laden), a mass murderer of innocent civilians to our troops! <\/p>\n<p>Our troops are not mass murderers. <\/p>\n<p>Our troops are not terrorists. <\/p>\n<p>Well, depending on the day and who\u2019s making the comment, if it\u2019s John Kerry or John Murtha. Once again, this moral equivalence that this man has to be able to equate Osama Bin Laden with one of our troops!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, I just heard, I just listened to the most painful, tortured answer to a question. I sat here and I was in pain listening to poor Jay Carney in the White House briefing trying to answer a simple question. The question itself was sophistry. The question itself was absurd. It was an accredited journalist who said, &#8220;Are you concerned about the way in which Bin Laden was killed and buried at sea might hurt the president\u2019s ability to reach out to the Muslim world, as he has tried to over the last two years?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Okay, I shook my head at that. Then poor old Jay Carney starts trying to put syllables together, and there were pauses of three seconds that felt like 30. (I say three seconds; it might have been five.) So I sent Cookie a flash note, and I said, &#8220;I gotta have this answer. You gotta go get this, and you gotta let me get it in time here for the end of the program, before the end of the program,&#8221; so you people can hear this. Oh, gosh, folks! (chuckling) It is painful. Not only poor old Jay and the way he\u2019s struggling with it but what he ends up saying to boot. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: We\u2019ve got the Jay Carney bite. We\u2019ve got it. All right, question, unidentified reporter, sound bite number 29. Here we go. Question: &#8220;One follow-up question: Are you concerned about the way in which Bin Laden was killed and buried at sea might hurt the president\u2019s ability to reach out to the Muslim world as he has tried to over the last two years?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CARNEY: The &#8230; efforts that were made to give &#8230; Osama Bin Laden &#8230; an appropriate burial &#8230; following Islamic &#8230; precepts and traditions &#8230; were considerable. (long pause) However, I would also say that &#8230; uh &#8230; there is nothing, um&#8230; The &#8212; the respect that was shown to him &#8230; and his body &#8230; uh &#8230; was far greater than the respect that Osama Bin Laden showed to &#8230; the victims on 9\/11 &#8230; or any of his other victims. &#8230; Uh, and that\u2019s because that\u2019s who we are. &#8230; uh&#8230; So we feel very comfortable with the fact that we, uhh &#8230; took &#8230; uh &#8230; extraordinary measures to &#8212; to show that respect &#8230; uh &#8230; to the traditions of the Islamic faith.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. And no pauses were added, no pauses were removed. I mean, not only the presentation, but the content there. So there. If you\u2019ve had any doubts about it, folks, we went overboard respecting the precepts and traditions, and they feel very comfortable with the fact that they took extraordinary measures to show &#8230; respect to the traditions &#8230; of the &#8230; Islamic&#8230; faith.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Poor old Jay Carney was just sent to the wolves.
