The guy that wrote the manifesto\u2019s got all kinds of people coming out and defending everything he said. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2017\/08\/07\/scientists-claim-google-viewpoint-diversity-manifesto-is-scientifically-accurate\/\">Scientists at Rutgers are coming out defending the guy<\/a> as having been right on point with everything. He\u2019s basically said, &#8220;Look, don\u2019t blame anybody. Women just aren\u2019t as interested in tech jobs, and so therefore they\u2019re not that well suited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-243722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-600-080817-Google-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-600-080817-Google-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-600-080817-Google.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>This is the reason why 25% of the tech workforce in Silicon Valley is female. Nobody\u2019s denying them. It\u2019s just that\u2019s not what they want to do. And you would have thought that hell has been unleashed. But there are great lessons here about how freedom of speech and freedom of everything end up being whittled away and ended. And what\u2019s happening at Google, what\u2019s happening at various college campuses, is exactly the way freedom is lost.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m not gonna get the Google stuff in. I\u2019m not gonna get free speech being the way we lose our freedom, but that\u2019s crucial, I\u2019ve gotta do that tomorrow. Free speech is the way we will lose our free speech. I meant that to be provocative. Because it\u2019s exactly right. The free speech movement, shall we say.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, the Google situation, folks, it is a microcosm for this: Freedom does not end by people running around chanting or protesting, &#8220;Down with freedom!&#8221; That\u2019s not how it ends. Freedom is killed off by people claiming that the greater good or the general will or the betterment of the community require speech patrol. Yes, for the greater good, the general will, the good of the community, we must make sure that speech that doesn\u2019t offend or hurt isn\u2019t uttered and isn\u2019t heard. Yes, we can\u2019t hurt anybody\u2019s feelings, and we can\u2019t offend anybody.<\/p>\n<p>And this is exactly how loss of freedom begins, as a good thing, as a compassionate thing. Venezuela is a present living example. So is what\u2019s happening on American college campuses, and even here at Google. And I want to spend some time explaining this and delving into it, which I\u2019ll do tomorrow, dovetailing it with some of the developments and lawsuits coming out of this Google manifesto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Freedom does not end by people running around chanting or protesting, &quot;Down with freedom!&quot; That&#039;s not how it ends.
