\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH: Here we go back to the phones to Janet in Shiloh, Illinois.  Great to have you.  Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  I want to alert your attention to yesterday. The Washington Post <\/a>reported that the Orlando shooter was a Hillary supporter.  So we\u2019re faced with the reality that a Hillary supporter targeted a gay nightclub, went in, shot it up, killing 49 gays and injuring 53 more while praising Allah.  I want to suggest that had the Washington Post reported that a Trump supporter had gone in, targeted a gay nightclub, shot it up, and killed 49 gays, injuring 53 more while praising God, Trump would have had to drop out of the race.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Except… Now, wait. Wait. You know, that\u2019s a… You\u2019re making a couple of really good points here, Janet.  In your analogy, that doesn\u2019t happen.  And this is very important to remember.  There is homophobia everywhere, but only in militant Islam and in nations run by Sharia law are there organized efforts to kill them, to punish them.  What you described just doesn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n

There are Christians who are anti-gay.  There are Jewish people that are anti-gay.  But there is no worldwide network that runs around committing mass murder.  There are not… You can\u2019t name for me a single Christian preacher, you cannot name for me a single Jewish rabbi who makes sermons or otherwise inspires people to go on worldwide missions to kill gays, women, infidels, or what have you.  But you can\u2019t say that about Islam.  Islam does.  Islam has imams that are encouraging that very thing.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: In fact, there\u2019s a piece here in The Daily Beast. Going back to Janet, our last caller.  It\u2019s by James Kirchick. “Why Are Prominent Liberals Closeting the Motivations of the Radical Islamic Murderer Who Targeted Gays? <\/a>—  The Moral Majority never had a terrorist wing. The jihadis have dozens of them. Why are so many prominent Western liberals so loath to acknowledge and discuss the obvious difference?”  You know, it\u2019s a good point.  Her analogy was, “If it turned out — if it had been discovered — that Omar Mateen was a Trump supporter, that would have been the end of Trump.” <\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump would still be being interrogated! That\u2019s all would be asking Trump about: “Why do you think Omar Mateen — who shot and killed 50 gays — supports you?  What has he heard you say that made him think that you were his candidate?”  This guy, a friend of his, says he was gonna vote for Hillary, is a big Hillary supporter. He was a registered Democrat.  And, of course, we throw that out. Not only that, in Barack Obama\u2019s world, here you have a guy — a registered Democrat, a militant Islamic terrorist who shoots up a gay nightclub — and it becomes the fault of the Republican Party and the NRA. <\/p>\n

And then you take a camera and you go to the streets of Brooklyn and you do man-on-the-street interviews of average, ordinary Brooklynites<\/a> and you ask them: “Who do you think is largely responsible?” and they tell you Republicans, because their refusal to help ban guns.  It\u2019s maddening! But she\u2019s exactly right.  If it had been discovered that this guy had toyed with joining the Tea Party — which is the first thing they look at in the media — or if this guy was a big Trump supporter, or if he loved talk radio? Oh, they would love that! You know, folks, that\u2019d be Orgasm City if they could find out one of these guys was a talk radio listener.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been looking for that for 27 years.  They\u2019ve been hoping and praying.  And every time we find out these guys that do this kind of thing are either registered Democrats or somehow linked to \u2019em, vote for \u2019em or what have you. But they\u2019re not conservative Republicans.  In this piece by James Kirchick at The Daily Beast, here\u2019s a pull quote: “Of course, there are Christian and Jewish anti-gay bigots. But there is no worldwide network of Christians and Jews, spurred on by clerics and suborned by states, indoctrinating their flock in eliminationist homophobia and recruiting [people] to murder homosexuals.<\/p>\n
