RUSH: All right. Ladies and gentlemen, Mitt Romney is very upset. Romney said yesterday that comments by the Reverend Sharpton about Mr. Romney and his Republican presidential candidacy, was ‘proof that bigotry still exists\u2019 in some corners. Romney is a Mormon campaigning in Iowa. When reporters asked his reaction to what the Reverend Sharpton said Monday during a debate on atheism and religious belief — what Sharpton said was ‘For the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway. So don\u2019t worry about that. It\u2019s a temporary situation.\u2019 That comment, in an exchange with the atheist author Christopher Hitchens<\/a>, drew some criticism. Sharpton refused to back down on the phone interview Wednesday, saying he did not imply that Mormons did not believe in God. You can judge for yourself what he said. ‘As for the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway.\u2019 How can this be about anybody but Mitt Romney? How can it be about all Republicans, which is one of Sharpton\u2019s defenses here. <\/p>\n

‘In a statement released by his office, Mr. Sharpton said: ‘In response to him I predicted that believers (not atheists) would vote against the candidate, in this case, Mr. Romney for political not religious reasons. ‘In no way did I attack Mormons or the Mormon Church when I responded that other believers, not atheists, would vote against Mr. Romney for purely political reasons.\u2019 In the phone interview with the New York Times, Sharpton said that unlike many conservative Protestants and Roman Catholics, he believes that Mormons are Christians, but he also said he Romney should be pressed about his church\u2019s history and beliefs.\u2019 Sharpton is going on offense here. ‘I believe if any religion preaches supremacy or unequalness, they are not true believers in God.\u2019 That\u2019s what he said. Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the Justice Brothers are clients of ours. They are sponsors. They were in a mad dash, they were in a hurry, and sent us this commercial to run during their purchase time today. <\/p>\n

RUSH: What a day! What a day this is shaping up to be. There you have it: the Justice Brothers\u2019 official response to Sharpton\u2019s controversy with Mitt Romney and Mormons. By the way, we checked, and those of you watching today on the Dittocam know full well that — <\/p>\n

(Justice Brothers interruption)<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was that? Something spit the cue there? The Justice Brothers\u2019 commercial trying to run itself again? (Laughing). It has a mind of its own, the Justice Brothers commercial. Anyway, our Dittocam was not vandalized today as those of you who are watching the Dittocam can plainly see. No paint has been thrown on the bottom half of the screen. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s playing itself? Are you telling me it\u2019s playing itself? <\/line> <\/line> (Justice Brothers interruption)<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: I\u2019ve never heard of this before! <\/line> <\/line> (Justice Brothers interruption)<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: We\u2019re going to have to do something about this. It tried to play itself in the last segment and it did play it. I don\u2019t believe this! Okay. Degauss the thing. Just degauss it. We have something in the computer system here that makes it fire on its own. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Alan in Richmond Virginia. Hi, Alan, great to have you with us today on the program <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Undergraduate of the EIB, and I\u2019m going to need some Depends if you don\u2019t stop playing all those clips — and I\u2019m only 40. It\u2019s just too funny. My question in regards to the Reverend Sharpton is, ‘If he\u2019s the authority on God and who goes to Heaven, why can\u2019t Imus be the authority on ‘nappy\u2019?\u2019 I mean, the double standard is just ridiculous. What\u2019s it going to take to stop the nonsense? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I really don\u2019t know. I think it\u2019s only going to get worse. The trends are that it\u2019s definitely getting worse. I can tell you why it\u2019s getting worse, but I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to stop it other than people refusing to be bullied by it. Look at what has happened here. You can attack the president all you want. The Democrats can do everything in the world they can think of, and their allies and their buddies can go out and say the most outrageous, defamatory things about the president — and other Republicans for that matter. You can attack the president all you want, regardless of the threats made against him. Same with the vice president. Same with Clarence Thomas. The list is endless. Barack Obama makes a ridiculous mistake, saying 10,000 people were killed in Kansas, but that\u2019s okay. He was simply tired. But Bush, the President of the United States — with all of the world\u2019s problems on the shoulders, not just tired from a presidential campaign — makes a mistake and he\u2019s an idiot. And, of course, they sweep Obama\u2019s mistake under the rug. In fact, CBS, on one of their websites, has restricted all Obama comments. You can\u2019t comment on Obama. It was getting too out of hand. It was after this 10,000 dead in Kansas. Of course, the 10,000 dead in Kansas is politicizing a tornado — and politicizing a tornado to advance a Democrat Party agenda — and the real scary thing about the video of Obama making that comment is the people in audience in Richmond, Virginia nodding their heads in agreement. <\/line><\/p>\n

As for Sharpton, for decades he has been spewing racism, anti-Semetic venom. Now he\u2019s out there smearing Mormons, and he\u2019s treated as a civil rights leader! CBS executives meet with him. NBC execs listen with him. And he decides who lives and dies! He\u2019s the chief of police of speech in this country, apparently. He\u2019s the chief of police in this country, apparently. Now, you ask, ‘When is this going to end?\u2019 One of two things is going to happen — and I don\u2019t know which, but it may be both, actually. This is only going to get worse. You have to understand that this is being done by design and on purpose. The purpose of all of this is to squelch free speech on the right<\/emphasize>, and I\u2019m going to tell you when this started. Well, it\u2019s hard to peg when it started because liberals have always been this way. They\u2019re the inventors, the creators of political correctness, multi-culturalism; they are single handedly responsible for the trepidation and fear that ordinary Americans feel when they simply want to open their mouths and say something anywhere about anything. Everybody is scared to death now for fear they\u2019re going to be labeled and targeted, fired, what have you. So it\u2019s working. It has a chilling effect. People tell jokes in their own homes, do whatever. But outside, you have to be very careful. You have all these camera phones out there, and you never know when somebody is going to take a picture of you doing something and where it\u2019s going to end up.<\/p>\n

I think the modern intensity of this can be traced to the Democrats losing the Congress in 1994. You have to remember — this is a psychological study — they owned<\/emphasize> Washington for 40 years. They were in and out of having the presidency. When have you the House of Representatives, you own the town. That\u2019s where spending bills originate, regardless what the White House wants. For many of those 40 years they dominated the Senate as well. But regardless what the status was with their White House fortunes, the fact is when you run the House for 40 years, you become almost like royalty in your own mind. You think of yourselves as monarchs. All of a sudden they lost it. And, folks, I can\u2019t emphasize enough the impact that had on them. That threw them for a whole bunch of loops, a whole bunch of 180-degree loops. Now they\u2019ve got it back, and they are damned if they\u2019re ever going to lose it again. It ain\u2019t gonna happen. They are not going to let a 1994 happen again.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also lost their monopoly in the Drive-By Media, and they lost that a few years before the Democrats lost the House. So the media has now thrown it all away and they\u2019ve chosen sides. The Drive-By Media is on the agenda page and they make no bones about it. They just won\u2019t admit it, but they are. They make no attempt to cover their alliances. They make no attempt to cover their desired outcomes. They still claim objectivity, but they\u2019re no longer trying to really hide the nuts and bolts of their work. All of this is because these two entities — the Democrat Party and the Drive-By Media — have lost dominance. They have lost these massive monopolies, and they are enraged, and you come forward to Florida 2000 and you throw that in the mix. They still think the election was stolen from them and they still think that Bush allowed 9\/11 to happen in order to give him something serious to do in his presidency! Thirty five percent of Democrats<\/a> think that. Scary, but they do.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve always been intolerant. That\u2019s why they invented political correctness. That\u2019s why they invented feminism. That\u2019s why they\u2019ve done all of these ‘isms\u2019 that are designed to get factions of Americans at war with one another: men versus women, black versus white, union versus non-union — you name it. The liberals are the architects of all this. They want constant chaos and tumult. Now, the situation we find ourselves in now is that, since they\u2019ve won that election in November, they\u2019re feeling newly empowered, flexing their muscles. They\u2019re not going to put up with things they don\u2019t want to hear, folks. They\u2019re just not going to put up with it! They\u2019re going to do everything they can to silence it. They don\u2019t care to debate because as far as liberals are concerned, there is no debate! Liberalism is the one and only answer, and there\u2019s no reason to debate. People who aren\u2019t liberal, they\u2019re just cockroaches. They\u2019re idiots. They\u2019re kooks! They\u2019re freaks — and they don\u2019t deign to grant any kind of authenticity or intelligence to anybody who\u2019s not a liberal. So they become arrogant and condescending, and they\u2019re treating everybody like they\u2019ve treated average Americans all these years, and that is: look down on them and think they\u2019re incompetent and incapable. But they know that what we say is a threat, because in their hearts they know what they\u2019re doing. They are denying an alternative to what they think because their ideas can\u2019t stand <\/emphasize>a test of a side-by-side comparison with ours. So they\u2019re trying to silence anybody on the right who offers those ideas — particularly in an effective way — and they\u2019re doing everything they can to discredit and to destroy the people who do articulate those ideas. They don\u2019t want to put up with it.<\/p>\n

So, ‘Where\u2019s this going to stop? It\u2019s getting absurd.\u2019 My first reaction when the Sharpton thing happened and everybody again — everybody blowing up — was, ‘What\u2019s happening to us?\u2019 and then this billboard on Rush Street in Chicago happened. The tagline was, ‘Life\u2019s too short. Get a divorce.\u2019 There was hell to pay! All kinds of people were getting all bent out of shape about it because there was some scantily-clad woman. What\u2019s happened to us? We\u2019ve become so paranoid and so sensitive! Are our feelings exposed outside our skin? Can nobody deal with anything anymore? <\/p>\n

Alan, you ask me, ‘When is this going to stop?\u2019 when Sharpton made his comments to Christopher Hitchens in that debate. It seems like half the news these days is who\u2019s offended by what somebody else said, and it\u2019s either going to keep going and get worse to the point that the people who are offended feel empowered because they\u2019re going to be able to shut down things they don\u2019t want to hear, or it\u2019s going to reach the point of utter absurdity and people are going to stand up and say, ‘Enough of this! That\u2019s not offensive, and even if it is — grow up!\u2019 We are not going to sit here and let the offended determine who can say and do what. But that\u2019s where we\u2019re headed. So you look at Sharpton and Obama. Sharpton, he\u2019s going to get a total pass. He issues this statement and they say, ‘Okay, Al spoke.\u2019 Joe Biden can call Obama ‘clean\u2019 and ‘articulate,\u2019 and the response is, ‘Ah, you know, that\u2019s just Biden! Sometimes he loses control of his mouth. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Good ol\u2019 Joe!\u2019 Or you can have Biden once again talking about 7-Elevens in his state of Delaware, and how ‘you better learn how to speak an Indian dialect when you go in to one because that\u2019s the only people that work there. ‘Oh, that\u2019s just Joe! Ha, ha, ha, ha!\u2019 You let a conservative Republican say anything like what Sharpton said or Obama said. If George Bush or somebody said, ‘Hey, did you see that death toll out there in Kansas? Ten thousand people died.\u2019 It would still be the front page headline about what an idiot the Republican who said that was! But they sweep it under the rug for Obama because (and this is another factor), Obama and Sharpton and practically everybody else in the Democrat Party is a ‘minority.\u2019 Women are minorities. African-Americans are minorities. Labor unions are minorities. The illegal immigrant coalition, that\u2019s a minority — and on and on. So as minorities you have to understand that in the liberal worldview, they\u2019re ‘powerless.\u2019 So Sharpton can say all these outrageous things, but he doesn\u2019t have any power to offend anybody. He\u2019s just a preacher. He\u2019s just an African-American trying to overcome such long odds with the civil rights struggle. We have to allow these people some headway. <\/p>\n

Plus, in something that\u2019s a stark difference between those guys and us, they will not eat their own. They will not throw their own down the river, overboard, or off the bus. They circle the wagons around them and they protect each other. Republicans, of course, will go out there and they\u2019ll throw Gonzales overboard and they\u2019ll throw Rumsfeld overboard and they\u2019ll join the chorus to get rid of whoever the Democrats want us to get rid of — all because they think that\u2019s virtuous, and in the process they do not understand the nature and terms of the literal war that we are in. I\u2019ll tell you something, folks: it is a real war when these people have success in stifling speech. They\u2019re having a lot of success and they\u2019re doing it without a whole lot of speech cops. I\u2019m not talking about speech uttered by people like me or others who have microphones and cameras. I\u2019m talking about you! <\/emphasize>Ask yourselves how many times a day do you want to say something, and you stop and say, ‘Uh, I better not say that; somebody might misunderstand it. I might get in trouble.\u2019 You are censoring yourselves because The Offended out there have the power over you — and especially if your boss happens to be one of The Offended, then you are really censoring yourselves. I don\u2019t know where this is going to end. It doesn\u2019t look good, as far as I\u2019m concerned. But that\u2019s what little part I play in this. That\u2019s why I am not going to back down on any of this and I am not going to look the other way at it, and I\u2019m not going to be silenced or shut up — and neither should you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: To the audio sound bites. We\u2019ll start with Mitt Romney. This is yesterday on the campaign trail, responding to Al Sharpton\u2019s insensitive remark about Mormons. <\/p>\n

MITT ROMNEY: His comment was a bigoted comment. It shows that bigotry still exists in some corners, and I thought it was a most unfortunate comment to make.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So last night on Paula Zahn Now, the Reverend Sharpton went to do damage control, and she said to him, ‘So obviously Mr. Romney thinks you were making negative comments about his religion.\u2019 Now, in this case, see, it\u2019s like when Jesse Jackson went on the Today Show with Meredith Vieira and Vieira said, ‘I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m sorry, Reverend Jackson! Will you forgive me, Reverend Jackson but I\u2019ve gotta mention that you did call New York ‘Hymietown.” You know, she had to beg forgiveness before reminding the Reverend Jackson of what he said. In this case, there was no assumption of guilt of Sharpton by Paula Zahn because they\u2019re on the same side. They\u2019re Democrats. They\u2019re libs. So the idea here is: give Sharpton some wiggle room. ‘Obviously Mr. Romney thinks you were making negative comments about his religion.\u2019 (Rush aside as Zahn: ‘We all knew you were but that\u2019s what he ‘thinks,\u2019 so…\u2019) ‘Were you saying that Mormons aren\u2019t real Christians?\u2019<\/p>\n

REVEREND SHARPTON: No. What I was responding to… It\u2019s interesting he did not attack Mr. Hitchens who said this. He, Mr. Hitchens, had said that the Mormons had in fact had in their articles of faith that blacks were not to be part of an inclusiveness of God, and I said, ‘Don\u2019t worry about that anyway. If that\u2019s the case then real believers, not atheists…\u2019 because the argument was over atheists. The argument was not about Mormons. ‘Real believers,\u2019 not atheists, ‘is going to vote against him anyway,\u2019 because I don\u2019t think Romney will win. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh, okay. (chuckles) Nice shift of gears. The Reverend Sharpton then continued. <\/p>\n

REVEREND SHARPTON: I think now Mr. Romney — since I didn\u2019t bring this up; Hitchens did — has opened the door for me to say, ‘Well, wait a minute! Is Hitchens is right? Is this the history of the Mormons, and were you part of that history? Were you a part of this church before they renounced this?\u2019 <\/p>\n

RUSH: So you see what the Reverend Sharpton has done here? He\u2019s gone on the offense! He\u2019s turned it around. ‘You Mormons, do you have a part of this history of denying blacks equality in the Mormon religion?\u2019 (laughing) and of course Paula Zahn is just sitting there like a zombie with a giant smile on her face, and she says, ‘So you deny what Hitchens is saying?\u2019 WHAT? Hitchens? This isn\u2019t about Hitchens! Sharpton is already blaming Hitchens for what he said! (Laughing.) You gotta marvel at this. Only in the Drive-By Media would a perp be allowed to get away with this kind of maneuvering. ‘So you deny what Hitchens is saying when he thinks that you were making distinctions and somehow suggesting that Mormons weren\u2019t real Christians?\u2019<\/p>\n

REVEREND SHARPTON: I\u2019m telling you what I meant, and I\u2019m telling you what I said. I\u2019m also telling you what Hitchens said. Hitchens, according to what you just played, attacked the Mormons! Hitchens did. It\u2019s strange that Romney didn\u2019t attack Hitchens. Hitchens is not attackin\u2019 Romney. I\u2019m the one that belongs to a race that couldn\u2019t join the Mormons, and I\u2019m the one that\u2019s the bigot.<\/p>\n

ZAHN: (laughing)<\/p>\n

REVEREND SHARPTON: (laughing) You talk about trying to pass the buck!<\/p>\n

ZAHN: Right!<\/p>\n

RUSH: So… (laughing) After all this (laughing) we got an emergency delivery at our business offices today. It was a new commercial from the Justice Brothers demanding to be run in today\u2019s schedule. <\/p>\n

(Justice Brothers Parody: The Rapid Excuse Response System)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what we have just witnessed here in these sound bites? We have just witnessed that Al Sharpton can play Three Card Monty with his mouth! That\u2019s some of the slickest maneuvering… (laughing). I couldn\u2019t keep up with it! First it was Hitchens, and then it was the Mormons denying blacks equality. (rubbing hands together). Then it was Sharpton wasn\u2019t allowed to join the Mormons. (laughing). Wasn\u2019t allowed to join them! (laughing) and it\u2019s all Mitt Romney\u2019s fault — and you\u2019ve got this news reader on CNN just sitting there going guuuuuuuuh. (laughing) Ahem!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
