RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the president is not backing down. He was out at the AGC convention, that\u2019s the Associated General Contractors of America convention. I just want to play you a little portion of his remarks.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Day by day, block by block, we are steadfast in helping Iraqi leaders counter the terrorists, protect their people, and reclaim the capital — and if I didn\u2019t think it was necessary for the security of the country, I wouldn\u2019t put our kids in harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. So, the Democrats were hoping the president would back down. They know he\u2019s not going to back down. That\u2019s why this is all such a sham. This might be a good time to swerve into the whole concept of ‘truth by repetition.\u2019 You probably know these words. ‘If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,\u2019 and this, of course, came from Hitler\u2019s war room, the Nazi spinmeister-in-chief, Joseph Goebbels, but do you know the rest of the quotation? Let me share with you the rest of the quotation: ‘If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.\u2019 This is Goebbels speaking for his cronies in the Nazi party. That\u2019s the whole quote. Now, you might be saying, ‘Rush, why are you quoting it?\u2019 Well, because we have a version of that going on here in this country. <\/p>\n

Let me reread this with the proper adaptation. ‘If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the [Democrat Party] can shield the people from the political, economic, or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the [Democrat Party] to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the [Democrat Party],\u2019 and that\u2019s why I\u2019m reading it to you. Repress dissent? Repress dissent? Well, who\u2019s the dissent? I am the dissent! There are a number of us who are the dissent, and what do they do? Well, they\u2019re trying to gin up the Fairness Doctrine to silence us. They\u2019ve got a bunch of websites that are bought and paid for by Clinton, Inc. and George Soros that are attempting and have been attempting for many years to discredit those of us who dissent, and they\u2019re doing any number of things, engaging any number of tactics to shut down opposition speech. They just don\u2019t want to hear it. Political correctness is nothing more than liberal censorship. But I\u2019m going to risk it, folks. At the risk of being repressed for dissent, I shall proceed. <\/p>\n

Now, the modern Democrat Party is not loaded with Nazis, and I don\u2019t want anybody to draw that comparison or make that inference, but they sure do rely on truth through repetition, and they rely on the media to repeat without challenge — repeat without challenge, repeat without challenge, repeat without challenge. (I think you get the point.) Here are some liberal truths by repetition that are anything but true. Bush said that Iraq was an imminent threat. I think Teddy Kennedy was the first to say that Iraq was an imminent threat. Bush said it would be easy, is another truth by reputation. ‘Bush said it would be easy!\u2019 No, he said it would be difficult, and he said it would take years, if not generations. Another truth by repetition is that the president painted a rosy scenario. <\/p>\n

Now, you tell me: are you aware of any good news? Are you aware of any positive stories? Come on. You\u2019re among the most informed Americans out there. Where was this rosy scenario? And, of course, another truth by repetition, ‘Americans want change.\u2019 Well, the president changed secretaries of defense, got rid of Rumsfeld. Hello, Robert Gates. Changed the lead general to Petraeus. Changed strategy. The Democrats still say there\u2019s been no change! The Democrats say and say and say, ‘No change.\u2019 Now, Goebbels, you weren\u2019t a nice person, but your words inspired the modern Democrats. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. How about, ‘we\u2019re losing\u2019? How about, ‘we\u2019re making no progress\u2019? You know all this, folks. You can probably come up with many examples of your own. You just keep repeating the big lie long enough, and people will eventually come to believe it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
