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

RUSH:  Okay.  So Donald Trump\u2019s in Erie, and he\u2019s on a roll.  I\u2019ve been laughing myself silly here the last three minutes.  He\u2019s talking about campaign donations.  This crowd is raucous. This crowd in Erie is just loaded for bear, and he\u2019s saying (imitating Trump), “I\u2019m funding my own campaign. I\u2019m paying for it. I didn\u2019t finance it. I\u2019m payin\u2019 it, right?  Right?  And I spent less than all these other experts.  Look, I know a guy that spent a hundred million, came in seventh.  I spent one-tenth of that, and I won in a landslide.  Who do you want for your president, huh?” <\/p>\n

And they erupt, and he turns around and basks in all the applause and the glory.  This one reminds me of Trump in the primaries (imitating Trump), “Pennsylvania, you\u2019re not doing too good, you people, you\u2019re not doing too good. Look at all the manufacturing jobs you lost.  You didn\u2019t lose \u2019em.  They were taken from you!”  They erupt in applause. <\/line><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Michael in Orange, Texas, Open Line Friday continues.  How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Oh, pretty good.  Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  My dad would be very happy.  I would like to connect the dots with Arab Spring and ISIS.  Obama encouraged and even praised Arab Spring while American troops were being pulled out of Iraq.  Then at the same time he was calling ISIS the JV team.  Now they\u2019re the varsity team.  Is there a connection?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Sure.  Did you ask me, is there a connection?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n

Ratings challenged @CNN<\/a> reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON\u2019T GET SARCASM?<\/p>\n
