And, you know, folks, the last thing, I\u2019m very uncomfortable giving these people any kind of publicity anyway because nobody really watches \u2019em, and it\u2019s very frustrating for Cookie and Cookie\u2019s little helpers \u2019cause most of this crap happens on MSNBC, and I told \u2019em I really don\u2019t want to give them any attention. Nobody else watches \u2019em, why should we give \u2019em any attention? And they get very frustrated because MSNBC is the best example of where all this crap is happening. It does happen throughout the left-wing media, but MSNBC is just where it\u2019s all codified, condensed, and concentrated. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"365\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Chris Matthews, I can remember when he once guest hosted this show. It once was sufficient that we could put him on here to guest host the program. It wouldn\u2019t happen anymore. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened to the guy, I really don\u2019t. That whole network is a loony bin, and it\u2019s a loony bin filled with people who are overflowing with uncontrollable rage, anger, unhappiness, and misery, by design. This is their niche. They\u2019ve chosen it. Chris Matthews said Tuesday it was scary that Republicans like Michele Bachmann were willing to not face the warning signs about raising the federal debt ceiling and take the United States right off the cliff. His guest was Senator Claire McCaskill from Missouri. She noted that it was a misconception that raising the debt ceiling would permit Congress to spend more. (laughing) My brother went to law school with her and I remember he used to say she was okay. They\u2019ve gone nuts. I mean, a misconception, raising the debt ceiling would permit Congress to spend more? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All we\u2019re doing is making good on the spending that\u2019s already occurred,&#8221; she said, &#8220;It\u2019s like they bought a new car and don\u2019t want to make the payment.&#8221; That\u2019s a crock. It\u2019s not true. And then Joan Walsh at Salon, who is also out of control, and these people are all part of the cabal that, you know, the Duke lacrosse case, without any evidence those lacrosse players were guilty as sin. These people were recently embarrassed on a similar type story, they all piled on, they were all wrong about, I forget what it was. I don\u2019t think it was DSK. I\u2019ll find out what it was. Anyway, Joan Walsh was a guest, and Matthews said, &#8220;Republicans\u2019 plans to hold the debt ceiling hostage until the Democrats agreed to budget cuts was terrorism.&#8221; Now, I say this in the context, okay, if we\u2019re gonna suspend Halperin for using the word &#8220;dick,&#8221; I\u2019m just telling you there is a lot worse and more incendiary language out there being used. <\/p>\n<p>This is dangerous stuff. I mean it really is over the line. Tina Brown, &#8220;Republicans are acting like economic suicide bombers.&#8221; That was on MSNBC. She was talking to Mika Brzezinski. Tina Brown is the editor of the DailyBeast and Newsweek now. And Chris Matthews called the Republicans the Wahhabis of American government. Meaning that the Republicans are Muslim terrorists. Wahhabiism is the militant Islam. And I\u2019m just saying this stuff is far more incendiary than what Halperin said. And of course, (imitating New Castrati) &#8220;It\u2019s not civil, it just isn\u2019t civil and we\u2019re supposed to be civil.&#8221; Remember that, Obama goes out there to Arizona, Gabrielle Giffords thing, and talks about the need for new civilivity because these people lied about Sarah Palin being responsible for the shooter out there, and then me? And then you got these guys making these kinds of comments? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, speaking of this Matthews and Tina Brown stuff, Obama said during his Twitter town hall yesterday that the GOP was holding a gun to the head of the country. I mean these people on the left are using this incendiary, murderous type lingo. And of course you ask, &#8220;Where is the civility?&#8221; And this is the same man, Barack Obama, who lectured us on dangerous rhetoric after the Giffords shooting when he kicked off his reelection campaign in Tucson.<\/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: See, I think there\u2019s a new strategy.
