RUSH: Here\u2019s Bob in San Francisco. Bob, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Still good morning in San Francisco, Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019d like to ask you, you are challenging Harry Reid to come on your program, but why don\u2019t you go on other people\u2019s programs who have challenged you? Why don\u2019t you go and debate Ed Schultz or Keith Olbermann?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have to be kidding?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why would I go on shows that nobody listens to and nobody watches? You know, Harry Reid is a Senator, the Senate majority leader. He denounced me, a private citizen, from the floor of the Senate. It is in the Congressional Record. He did so on the basis of a smear. I simply said, ‘Come here and say it to my face.\u2019 I don\u2019t talk about these two guys that you mentioned because they\u2019re irrelevant. They\u2019re little gnats.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there are a lot of people who have challenged you, and you have refused over many years. You\u2019ve said a lot of disparaging things about many people, especially the liberals. You know, there are many things that you don\u2019t tell the truth about, so —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Name one. <\/p>\n

CALLER: As an example, I\u2019m black American, liberal, you know, I can go back to the time what you said about Rosa Parks, how you were on the bus and you went to the back of the bus. You know that isn\u2019t true, and if it is true, sir, explain it, elaborate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have no idea what you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You said in 1955, with the incident with Rosa Parks, you said that you were so detested by that at four years old, I think you were four years old at the time, that you and whoever you were with protested by sitting in the back of the bus. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh, Bob?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Did you say that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was Bill Clinton who said that!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Did you say that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No! It was Bill Clinton who said it. And I said I didn\u2019t believe it just like you don\u2019t. But I\u2019ll bet you now that you know Clinton said it, you think it\u2019s true. It was Bill Clinton. Bob, give me another example. We\u2019re on a roll here. Give me another example where I lie.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you said something about a female black congresswoman one time, I think she was from Texas, and I think her name is Cynthia McKenna. You used a word that rhymed with prostitute, and you called her a prostitute. You said prostitute and whatever word that you said, that was —<\/p>\n

RUSH: These are baseless charges. First of all, Cynthia McKinney was from Georgia.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Still is from Georgia.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I apologize. <\/p>\n

RUSH: But what is a word here that rhymes with prostitute?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Bob, you gotta do better than this. You\u2019re calling here and accusing me of telling lies and refusing to accept challenges from irrelevant, small audience gnats, is not worth my time.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Have you ever taken anybody out of context before, any liberals?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not on purpose, never, ever, do I do things like that. I\u2019ll tell you why, Bob. The reason why is because I\u2019m trying to generate informed, educated people. I want them to be voting and spreading the word on the basis of truth and legitimacy, so there\u2019s a proper foundation for it to spread. I am not afraid of the opposition and what they think. I\u2019m happy for everybody to know what the opposition thinks. I try to explain liberalism as best I can, as often as I can on this program. But I don\u2019t purposely take people out of context, no, don\u2019t do any of that. Bob, a program like mine, ranking number one so many years could not survive on all the things that you people, bleeding your clich&eacute;s, think happen. There\u2019s no hate on this program. There\u2019s no bigotry on this program; there\u2019s no racism; there\u2019s no sexism; there\u2019s no homophobia; none of that on this program. Those are myths that people like you have been led to believe by people who are trying to discredit me. None of that\u2019s true. I\u2019ve given you two chances to tell me if I lied, and you cite Bill Clinton on — (laughing) — I had forgotten that, and it\u2019s funny now to remember. (Doing Clinton impression) ‘Yeah, I was so offended by that, in \u201955 I went on the bus and I sat in back, as a form of protest,\u2019 when he was four or five years old, he said, or ten, whatever he would have been, I\u2019m not sure. Bob, thanks for the call. See you at the next anti-military protest out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
