RUSH: Maryville, Tennessee, this is Diana. Thank you for waiting. Welcome to the show.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. The other caller, the male caller said that you enjoyed talking to women, but I don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to enjoy my call. I just think that you\u2019re a…butt<\/emphasize>. I have listened to you for a long time, and I agreed with you, and I\u2019ve tried my best to like you. I am not a leftist. I am a thinking human being. And I am feminine<\/emphasize>, not feminist<\/emphasize>, but the woman that called, Barbara<\/a>? You were awful to her. I don\u2019t think… Usually I\u2019m pretty perceptive, and she did not sound like a liberal.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why did that call stand out to you as me being a ‘butt?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just the way you talked to her.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know why it stood out? It\u2019s because I\u2019m not a ‘butt.\u2019 <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I could have said ‘a–h—.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I don\u2019t have to bleep that. She said a–h—, folks. She called me one of those. The caller said it, not me. We\u2019re repeating. You can say whatever you want, ‘butt\u2019 or whatever. It doesn\u2019t matter. The point is I\u2019m not that, so when you thought I was — and you listen regularly — it stands out, so you have to call in and make a point. That\u2019s why it stood out to you. The woman frustrated me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, she was trying to defend our country, it seemed to me. Now, I may be wrong, but… Yu know, I can\u2019t name them, but companies have taken their business elsewhere, and have left a lot of people without jobs, and she wasn\u2019t even talking about oil. I agree with you about oil. We\u2019ve got oil right here that we need to use, but because of the stupid environmentalist wackos, you know we can\u2019t use it. <\/p>\n

RUSH: But she was out there blaming Halliburton, and she wants the government to force Halliburton to stay in the country. Don\u2019t you understand the import of that statement? The woman is a walking, talking receptacle for propaganda offered by the left. Sometimes it takes shock therapy to get through to people. I was trying to help her.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, maybe. Like I said, I can usually tell when callers call, and I can usually tell when they\u2019re seminar callers and when they\u2019re total leftists, but she didn\u2019t seem like that to me. She seemed like she trying to stand up for our country, and you just slapped her in the face.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I did not!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, you did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I didn\u2019t slap her in the face.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, you did.<\/line>RUSH: Not even euphemistically, not even metaphorically, not even in a pretend way did I do that. I\u2019m telling you, she might have been standing up for the country, but you\u2019re really putting me on the spot here because she was ignorant about it. You know, it\u2019s difficult here. Somebody can call and tell me the Earth is flat. Am I supposed to sit here and ask \u2019em why they think it?<\/line>CALLER: Well, of course not.<\/line>RUSH: Look, I understand why you feel this way because I so rarely react that way. But the woman wasn\u2019t interested in the conversation, either. It was rat-tat-tat.<\/line>CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true. <\/line>RUSH: I did my best to try to persuade her that she just needs to open her mind. I thought I was very nice, in fact. After her call, I said, “Look, some of you people, you can think. It\u2019s hard, but open your mind, become skeptical about certain things.”<\/line>CALLER: Well, it just seemed like, to me, she was thinking. But she did have her own agenda, that\u2019s true. Now that I talk to you, in talking to you about it, she probably did.<\/line>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you something else I thought, and I could be wrong about this. But I thought the way she was talking to me and the things that she was saying, that she was a lib, and she wasn\u2019t honest about that when she told the call screener — or me — when she said that she was not a lib, or she was a conservative or whenever. It didn\u2019t sound like a conservative to me.<\/line>CALLER: How did you know she was a lib? Because like I said, usually I could tell that and I could not tell that from her.<\/line>RUSH: Because of her attitude that the government is the end all, beginning and everything in life, that the government has to stop Halliburton from moving. She is for some omnipresent force or power to start exacting penalties and punishment on people just because she thinks it should. Anybody that I hear who has that view of government and the state is not a conservative, at least not an informed one.<\/line>CALLER: Well, I could be wrong. I just wanted to vent.<\/line>RUSH: Well, it\u2019s not a question of right or wrong. Your perception is your perception, and oftentimes perceptions are reality. I\u2019m just glad that you called so that we could talk about this.<\/line>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m glad to finally get on the air. I\u2019ve tried five times and have been rejected all the times.<\/line>RUSH: Wait a minute! Call screeners have told you that you were not suitable?<\/line>CALLER: No, they just didn\u2019t put me on the air. I would state what I wanted to comment on and they\u2019d reject me.<\/line>RUSH: Do you remember one of the things you wanted to comment on that they said no?<\/line>CALLER: Yeah. I think the last time I called, you had a story on that day about women, that they eat more when they eat out.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah?<\/line>CALLER: I wanted to say that we probably do.<\/line>RUSH: Well, that is an outrage! You should have been permitted on this program because you\u2019re an expert.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: This is Bob in Harrogate, Tennessee? Is that how you pronounce it?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Yeah, it\u2019s Harrogate, Rush.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Nice to have you with us, sir.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Hey, thanks a lot. Mega dittos, Rush. I tell you, I\u2019ve been waiting since \u201991 to talk to you. I listened on WBAP in Dallas until we finally ended up out here in Tennessee, but I still get you, and it\u2019s great to talk to you.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Those last two ladies that called, I tell you, I was screaming so loud at the radio. That last comment that lady made, she said that usually she can tell a liberal by listening to her but she had a hard time with Barbara, and I just died laughing. Barbara, the comment she was making were just ridiculous. Rush, what gets me is these uneducated liberals who refuse to listen to common sense — and to me, conservatism is <\/emphasize>common sense. These are the people who keep Kennedy and Murtha and Clinton and Schumer in office and it scares me to death. They\u2019re uneducated, and they vote! That\u2019s the biggest problem I have, and I do not know how to deal with it.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: (Laughing.)<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: You know, it drives me nuts!<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: “They\u2019re uneducated and they vote.” It is a problem, no question. Well, as host of this program and a broadcast veteran of now 35 years — ah, I could actually say 40 years — I have detected how to spot these people. As I say, I know \u2019em like every square inch of my glorious naked body. They talk in circles and they don\u2019t want to have conversation. They just rat-tat-tat, say what they want to say, and when you try and engage them in conversation, they interrupt you. I used to have conversations here with them. Unlike the libs, who are now going to boycott this Fox debate and cancel it, I\u2019m not afraid to tell anybody who disagrees with me what I think and why. They <\/emphasize>are afraid. They just want to come and speechify and propagandize. But when there\u2019s no information, there\u2019s no knowledge behind the comments and it\u2019s just a bunch of gut reaction “feelings” based on being a receptacle for propaganda. It gets frustrating and I did get frustrated, there\u2019s no question. Anyway, Bob, I appreciate that phone call. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
