RUSH: Lanny Davis is upset at me. The former Clinton spinmeister was on the Fox News Channel this morning on Fox and Friends, and Steve Doocy, who does the weather, interviewed Lanny Davis. He said, ‘Look, I know you\u2019re familiar with Hillary. She wants to be president. She\u2019s not come out and denounced this MoveOn.org ad. Do you think she should?\u2019<\/p>\n

DAVIS: Every single Democrat should say that MoveOn.org, using the expression General Betrayus is engaging in outrageous and, in my opinion, offensive rhetoric, but no less so than some of the hatemongering that I hear from Rush Limbaugh and some of the people on the right questioning the patriotism of people like MoveOn.org, who have a right under the First Amendment to say whatever they want. Why do we give them such credence, when nobody can take seriously that kind of outrageous exercise of their First Amendment rights, is to me amazing that you would start out with that subject rather than George Bush\u2019s speech last night.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the conversation continues with Lanny Davis bringing me back into it.<\/p>\n

DAVIS: Senator Clinton should denounce it. I don\u2019t know why. But, again, you\u2019re still focused on MoveOn.org rather than President Bush. Why are you not questioning Rush Limbaugh attacking patriotism? Why hasn\u2019t Fox done one program about Rush Limbaugh? Would you answer that question? Let me interview you, Fox and Friends, for a second. Why MoveOn.org, which I denounce, why are you not denouncing Rush Limbaugh questioning my patriotism for disagreeing on the Iraq war?<\/p>\n

DOOCY: Lanny, I\u2019m sorry, but I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. I haven\u2019t heard Rush Limbaugh do that. I\u2019ll look into it —<\/p>\n

DAVIS: Why don\u2019t you — why don\u2019t you do a study and invite me back and we\u2019ll have a program about Rush Limbaugh, rather than just focusing on what you call the left.<\/p>\n

DOOCY: Lanny, you\u2019re filibustering.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (Laughing.) I welcome it. I hope Fox does a program on me. I won\u2019t participate in it because I don\u2019t do that, but what have I said? What in the world have I said? All I\u2019ve said was that they\u2019re invested in defeat. I\u2019ve said that it\u2019s unacceptable, it\u2019s indecent, the way they attack General Petraeus. Ladies and gentlemen, I don\u2019t know if this conclusion has come to anybody else out there, but, during the Petraeus hearings — and even in the postmortem — not one liberal, not one Democrat, has asked, ‘What can we do to help you and the troops?\u2019 While they were talking to General Petraeus, Lanny, there wasn\u2019t one Democrat in the House or Senate on either committee that asked the general what they could do to help him and the troops. There wasn\u2019t one Democrat who said, ‘What can we do to help the war effort?\u2019 There wasn\u2019t one. Lanny, where is the proof that I am challenging your patriotism? Up until today your name hasn\u2019t come up in awhile on this program. I think you guys are wrong in trying to undermine the war effort, US national security, but challenging your patriotism has never been what I\u2019ve done. I challenge your judgment and so forth, but if you want me to say I challenge your patriotism so Fox can do a show, okay. (Laughing.) <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: As to MoveOn.org, back to Lanny Davis just a second and Mrs. Clinton not denouncing it, does anybody remember — Mr. Snerdley, you might — does anybody remember what MoveOn.org stands for? It was ‘move on.\u2019 It is a Clinton front group. It\u2019s a Clinton, George Soros front group. <\/p>\n

Rudy Giuliani did a great thing yesterday when going for his New York Times ad and making the point that he wants one for the same rate. He linked her to MoveOn.org. MoveOn.org means, ‘Let\u2019s move on from Clinton scandals.\u2019 It\u2019s now MoveOn.org that won\u2019t move on, if you will. Mrs. Clinton\u2019s inexorably tied to MoveOn.org, like she is to Media Matters for America, like she is for the Center for American Progress that Clinton\u2019s chief of staff, John Podesta, runs. She\u2019s tied to all of these things, to expect her to denounce it? By the way, she didn\u2019t say a word last night. I haven\u2019t seen Mrs. Clinton. She may have this morning, but she didn\u2019t say a word last night about the president\u2019s speech. <\/p>\n

RUSH: A little reminder here about MoveOn.org. Do you know how old MoveOn.org is? Take a guess, Mr. Snerdley. How old is MoveOn.org? When was it founded? Right! That\u2019s exactly right! (applauding) This is one of the reasons I have the best staff in all of media. In 1998, MoveOn.org was founded. Back then, you remember we started getting seminar callers. MoveOn.org people were the original seminar calls. They were programmed by the organization to say that they were nonpartisan; they were nonpolitical. When they called in, what they would say is: ‘I\u2019m a lifelong Republican, but I\u2019m never going to vote for the Republicans again if they don\u2019t stop this impeachment proceeding.\u2019 That was MoveOn.org: ‘Can\u2019t we move on? Can\u2019t we move on from this?\u2019 It\u2019s a Hillary front group. So I just wanted to remind you of that, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
