Thank you for waiting. You\u2019re up next in the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. I\u2019m a rarity: a Jewish Republican.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know three.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, now you know four! (Laughing) I\u2019ll tell you, though, there are more of us coming out of the woodwork, although I\u2019ve been a Republican all my voting life. But I want to thank you seriously from the bottom of my heart because I told so many people, &#8216;Listen to Rush. He\u2019s an honorary Jew.\u2019 You get it about Israel, and people don\u2019t get it, and when somebody like Sidney Blumenthal&#8230; I cannot imagine that this moron doesn\u2019t get it, either.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: He gets it, but let me explain Sidney Blumenthal and let me explain to people what you mean. We had this story on Friday. Sidney Blumenthal was big in Hillary\u2019s West Wing office. He\u2019s a noted&#8230; I don\u2019t know how to describe him. He\u2019s worse than a liberal, he\u2019s just a nut. I think he\u2019s one of these guys that secretly admires the old days of Stalin and Lenin. Yeah, they called him &#8216;Grassy Knoll\u2019. He\u2019s just beyond description. At any rate, Sidney Blumenthal wrote a piece in Slate magazine, Slate.com last week admitting that the National Security Agency of this country was sharing information with the Israelis on Hezbollah troop movements from Syria and Iran. This compromised the national security effort of the United States. It also compromised the Israelis, and it let the enemy &#8212; the <emphasize>enemy<\/emphasize>, a bunch of terrorists &#8212; know exactly how their munitions shipments and supply lines were being tracked. So you, Susan, want to know why Blumenthal could sell out Israel, could sell out his people, and I\u2019ll tell you the answer. You want to know it? It\u2019s real simple.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush_Limbaugh__Honorary_Son_of_Israel_-08_07_06.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"275\" height=\"211\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, wait. I think I know. He didn\u2019t get the anti-stupid pill.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. That wouldn\u2019t help. There\u2019s not a strong enough stupid pill to overcome liberalism.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The answer is: liberals are liberals first. It\u2019s almost as though liberalism is their religion, before everything else. Liberals will be liberals before they\u2019ll be anything else, and so right now, to liberals, the biggest enemy in the world is George W. Bush. They are seething with rage and hatred and they have been for so long that they\u2019re in the early onset stages of genuine madness. And they will do anything to destroy George W. Bush, including wreck foreign policy of this country and attempt to harm what the Israelis are trying to do in protecting their nation. That\u2019s the answer, and it really is no more complicated than that. People try to make it so, but it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. I agree with you. However, what shocked me, and maybe I\u2019m still a na&amp;iuml;ve person, is that Blumenthal doesn\u2019t understand, if Israel goes, so does he. And that\u2019s what the world doesn\u2019t want to recognize, that when Israel\u2019s statement &#8212; and it should be for every Jew is &#8212; &#8216;never again\u2019 &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He doesn\u2019t think that. You\u2019d be amazed. I\u2019ve talked to them. You\u2019d be amazed at the number of liberal Jewish people who think Israel has no right to exist where it is. They think Israel has displaced a bunch of poor, disadvantaged people, and that they\u2019re pushing them around and bullying them and deserve what they get. I kid you not. I\u2019ve spent plenty of time talking to them about it. It\u2019s almost a knee-jerk response, victim versus power. They always side with what they think is the victim.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush_Limbaugh__Honorary_Son_of_Israel_-08_07_06.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Susan in St. Louis.
