RUSH: Correct me if I\u2019m wrong here. He just threw Jeremiah Wright under the bus, and the train. He totally disowned him, right? Did he use the word? Barack Obama is giving that press conference now that I was misunderinformed. I was told it was going to happen later this afternoon. But he said he is upset that Reverend Wright is the focus of attention; that Wright doesn\u2019t speak for him or for his campaign; he doesn\u2019t associate himself with any of Wright\u2019s statements. He\u2019s called his statements appalling, the statements that Reverend Wright is making. The question now is, and this is what Obama should have done early on, but he was trying to be nice to Wright, he was trying to have it both ways here. Wright didn\u2019t take it that way. Wright probably thought he was thrown under the bus and the train back in the Philadelphia speech. If Wright had any doubt about it, that doubt has been settled today because today he was thrown under the bus, thrown under the train, thrown under the airplane, even flushed down the sewer by Barack Obama. <\/p>\n

So the question is, is this too late? Is it too late? Should he have done this out of the box? Yup, there it is, ‘Wright does not speak for me or my campaign.\u2019 We\u2019re working feverishly at headquarters here securing audio sound bites, the appropriate sound bites of the Obama comments. I don\u2019t want to JIP this. We\u2019ll have the comments in due course. The question now is, is it too late? A lot of people are going to think that it is too late. And of course it will be interesting to see now, what does Wright do? What will Wright\u2019s reaction be? People are speculating here that Wright\u2019s doing what he\u2019s doing now because he felt he was thrown under the bus back in the Philadelphia speech. Now he\u2019s been thrown under the train and flushed down the toilet into the sewer, will he now come back and really unload on Obama? And he could! Obama\u2019s been in that church 20 years. Reverend Wright baptized Obama\u2019s kids. So it\u2019s fireworks out there. Operation Chaos. This would not have happened without Operation Chaos, ladies and gentlemen, because Mrs. Clinton would be gone, and with Mrs. Clinton gone, none of this could have been done, nothing could have been done about it, so it wouldn\u2019t have been any kind of a story at all. There are numerous Jeremiah Wright stories in the Stack of Stuff here today as well as sound bites. <\/p>\n

This is a column by Errol Louis in the New York Daily News: ‘The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn\u2019t have done more damage to Barack Obama\u2019s campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that\u2019s just what one friend of Wright wanted.\u2019 Get this. ‘Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.\u2019 I remember Barbara Reynolds. She\u2019s a former member of the editorial board at USA Today. She had her own little byline column there. ‘She runs something called Reynolds News Service and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister). It also turns out that Reynolds — introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club ‘who organized\u2019 the event — is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes, ladies and gentlemen! The woman who secured and organized Reverend Wright\u2019s appearance at the press club is a Hillary Clinton supporter, Barbara Reynolds. ‘On a blog linked to her website … Reynolds said in a February post: ‘My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you\u2019 to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency. The same post criticized Obama\u2019s ‘Audacity of Hope\u2019 theme: ‘Hope by definition is not based on facts,\u2019 wrote Reynolds. ‘It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time.” So this woman is not only plugging for Hillary, she\u2019s out there berating Obama\u2019s entire campaign theme. ‘In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: ‘It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement.” So she thinks that this guy is a nutcase from way back and that Obama has not been honest about his relationship. And she is the one who organized the appearance of Reverend Wright at the National Press Club on Monday. <\/p>\n

Look, let\u2019s cut to the chase here. You have a Hillary operative securing Wright\u2019s performance at the press club, which has been universally condemned as unhelpful, and worse than that, very damaging to the Obama campaign. Obama just said, ‘I am clearly, unequivocally denouncing Reverend Wright\u2019s comments. Whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed now.\u2019 The next thing, he\u2019ll apologize to his grandmother. He\u2019s gotta fix that. He insulted his grandmother. Typical white person. He\u2019s gotta apologize to his grandmother. He\u2019s thrown Wright overboard now. He has unequivocally denounced Reverend Wright\u2019s comments. The wheels of the Obama campaign are coming off. They came off a long time ago, now we\u2019re skidding to a stop, have gone off the rails. The Obama camp and the campaign is about to be derailed in a cornfield. It\u2019s amazing to watch, amazing. And the Clintons — (laughing) — the Clintons are just sitting out there, and they\u2019re watching all this, and they\u2019re yucking it up. They\u2019re having a grand old time. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s this going to do with the superdelegates? Snerdley, will you be patient? Will you just calm down? Snerdley is now having a conniption fit, ‘What\u2019s this going to do to me when Hillary wins the nomination?\u2019 If Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination, it isn\u2019t going to be my fault. My objective was not to see that either of these two won specifically. One of them was going to. It was to see to it that just this kind of thing happened. Operation Chaos, a profound success, ladies and gentlemen. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have some Obama sound bites from his press conference going on now. You look at this guy. I\u2019m looking at this press conference. He looks beaten. His shoulders are hunched. He looks defensive. He doesn\u2019t look authoritative. He started out trying to be authoritative by the way he identified reporters with that JFK version of pointing them out. But he looks beaten back, on the defensive. He chose this church for political reasons. That is what has become obvious. He chose this church for political reasons. He\u2019s now paying a political price for doing that. You choose your church, and he chose this one — and what this is showing is that judgment matters. I wonder if Michelle (My Belle) feels the same way about Jeremiah Wright. How can Obama be surprised today? We need to get some other parishioners out there to say whether or not they\u2019re shocked by Wright\u2019s recent comments. <\/p>\n

They sat in that church, too. Wright\u2019s only repeating what he said in this church. Wright has said nothing new. There\u2019s nothing new! This is the key. There\u2019s nothing new that he has said, and all of a sudden Obama has to throw him under the train. Let\u2019s go find some other parishioners; let\u2019s find some that agree with Obama. Wright set this up. ‘Well, he\u2019s a politician. He has to say what he says.\u2019 Twenty years he couldn\u2019t see what kind of man Jeremiah Wright is, didn\u2019t know he held these views, yet he expects to be president? Does he know what his own wife thinks? I wonder, does he know what his wife thinks about this? Because she\u2019s out there parroting Wright. She\u2019s out there, in her own way, giving his sermons as political speeches. Don\u2019t become part of the middle class, don\u2019t succumb to ‘middle classness.\u2019 She gave a speech Friday night that I\u2019ve been reading about. Apparently, she was fit-to-be-tied angry. <\/p>\n

She always is angry when she shows up. But the bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, the bottom line, Reverend Wright in the past three days has said nothing new. He didn\u2019t say anything new on Moyers. He didn\u2019t say anything new Monday at the National Press Club. The Reverend Wright has broken no new ground, and yet Barack Obama now says he is insulted and says that he is upset and that he is outraged and there has been great damage to their relationship; that he thinks Reverend Wright caricatured himself yesterday. He hasn\u2019t caricatured himself! He is who he is, and he didn\u2019t say or do anything new. My friends, I can\u2019t tell you, this is a profundity. This is why I am repeating it. He has been saying these things for 20 years, the sermons on video that everybody has seen. He said nothing new in the past three or four days. And yet Obama now tosses him aside purely for political reasons. Couple sound bites. Obama damage control, the first of two that we have here.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The person I saw yesterday, uh, was not the person that I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only (pause) divisive and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you see…? Stop this. Do you see? The person we saw yesterday was mild compared to the person who\u2019s been at that pulpit! This is my point. There is nothing new. There\u2019s nothing new. ‘The person we saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago\u2019? He damn well sure is! Let me tell you something. Do you know who his bodyguards were? Do you know who Wright\u2019s bodyguards were at the National Press Club? Nation of Islam. Louis Farrakhan\u2019s bodyguards provided security for Reverend Wright at the National Press Club. This guy is Nation of Islam, when you boil it all down. Play that sound bite again, from the top.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The person I saw yesterday, uh, was not the person that I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only (pause) divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate; and I believe that they do not portray, accurately, the perspective of the black church. They certainly don\u2019t portray accurately my values and beliefs. And if Reverend Wright thinks that that\u2019s ‘political posturing,\u2019 as he put it, then he doesn\u2019t know me very well. And based on his remarks yesterday, well, I may not know him as well, uh, as I thought, either.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa. Whoa! He can\u2019t get away with this. Does not portray the perspective of the black church? How would Obama know? This is his church! How would he know what the black church is? This is the church he\u2019s been going to for 20 years. Do not accurately portray my values and beliefs? It took you 20 years and a presidential campaign to come to that conclusion? This is not messianic. This is not unique. This is not new. This is not a politician who has never trod the political ground of a presidential campaign before in the great country of the United States of America. This is your average, ordinary, inexperienced run-of-the-mill politician with a sense of entitlement about him; who has been softened up by puff ball coverage from the Drive-By Media, and now is having trouble dealing with the rigors of a presidential campaign. I knew when Wright said, ‘Hey, he\u2019s just a politician. He\u2019s gotta say what he\u2019s gotta say. I gotta say what I gotta say. We got different audiences,\u2019 I knew that would get under Obama\u2019s skin, and it did. ‘If Reverend Wright thinks that\u2019s political posturing on my part, he doesn\u2019t know me very well.\u2019 I realize some of you people think this is a grand scheme on the part of Wright and Obama, that they\u2019ve set this up, that Wright knew all along he was going to have to be disowned. If that\u2019s the case, this would have happened the minute those sermons surfaced on video. He wouldn\u2019t have gone through this speech in Philadelphia. No, no, no, folks. This is ineptitude on parade. Here is another sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the US government somehow being involved in AIDS; uh, when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the twenty — twentieth and twenty-first century; when he equates the United States\u2019 wartime efforts with terrorism, then there are no excuses. Uh, they offend me. Uh, they rightly offend all Americans, and they should be denounced, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is not working. This is not working. He\u2019s in this guy\u2019s church 20 years. He\u2019s heard the guy talk about the United States being responsible for AIDS. He\u2019s heard all these things. He\u2019s acting like he just heard these things for the first time, even though he\u2019s admitted that he heard these, then he said he hadn\u2019t, then he said he had. Can you say ‘toast\u2019?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s one more audio sound bite from Obama this afternoon, another portion of his remarks.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Upon watching it what became clear to me was that it was more than just him defending himself. What became clear to me was that he was presenting a worldview that contradicts who I am and what I stand for. And what I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is unreal.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Anybody who knows me and anybody who knows what I\u2019m about knows that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: We don\u2019t know! That\u2019s the key.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — I\u2019m about trying to bridge gaps and that I see the commonality in all people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And so when I start hearing comments about conspiracy theories and AIDS and suggestions that somehow minister Farrakhan has been a great voice in the twentieth century —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lord.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — then that goes directly at who I am and what I believe this country needs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is this the change we\u2019ve been waiting for? Is that Barack Obama\u2019s change? The change is he\u2019s the last guy on the planet to figure out Jeremiah Wright? You know what this is like? This is like Hillary Clinton calling a press conference, ‘I\u2019ve just learned my husband cheats on me.\u2019 This is absurd, folks! Our intelligence is being insulted again. Imagine Hillary Clinton today with a press conference, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you today because I am divorcing my husband, because I just learned that he has been unfaithful to me for over 20 years.\u2019 Good Lord, folks, he\u2019s talking about Wright at the National Press Club yesterday. ‘What became clear to me was that it was more than just him defending himself. What became clear to me was that he was presenting a worldview that contradicts who I am.\u2019 You chose the guy. None of this is unbelievable, Barack. ‘What I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing. Anybody who knows me or what I\u2019m about –‘ we don\u2019t know who you are and what you\u2019re about, that\u2019s what this is all about. ‘When I start hearing comments about conspiracy theories and AIDS and suggestions that somehow minister Farrakhan –‘ He\u2019s been asked about Farrakhan traveling to meet Khadafy. He\u2019s been asked about Wright making that trip. <\/p>\n

So we\u2019ll watch the Drive-By Media tonight do their best to spin this into an act of courage, something that\u2019s worthwhile of the Kennedy School of Government\u2019s award for the Profile in Courage. You know, every year Caroline Kennedy awards a Profile in Courage Award to a great political operative. The Kennedys have endorsed this guy, right? So this is going to be spun as an act of political courage today. Lurking now in the shadows is the Reverend Wright. (laughing) Wouldn\u2019t it be great if Wright says, ‘You chose me. You\u2019ve been to my sermons. You\u2019ve been in my pulpit for 20 years. I baptized your children.\u2019 Barack doesn\u2019t have the juice to Fort Marcy Park this guy so he\u2019s going to have to put up with him out there and whatever he happens to say, if he says anything. There\u2019s another conspiracy going around, I kid you not, ladies and gentlemen, check the Democrat blogs, another conspiracy theory going around out there. <\/p>\n

New York Daily News columnist, Errol Louis, in his piece today, indicates that the woman who secured and organized the appearance of Reverend Wright, the National Press Club yesterday, is actually a Hillary Clinton operative, Barbara Reynolds. She used to be on TV all the time. She\u2019s an ordained minister, runs the divinity school at Howard University. I remember watching her on TV. She used to be one of these angry — like Julianne Malveaux-type people. You know, Julianne Malveaux wishing that Clarence Thomas\u2019 wife would feed him a little cholesterol so he\u2019d have a heart attack. Barbara Reynolds, she was mad out there. A minister set up Wright. A Clinton minister set up Obama\u2019s minister, exactly right, Errol Louis is saying today that the organizer of Wright\u2019s appearance at the National Press Club was set up, and she was sitting right next to him at the dais talking to him. He was set up by Barbara Reynolds who is a Clinton operative and she\u2019s written on her blog some very critical things of Obama and his reaction to his preacher and so forth and to Wright.<\/p>\n

So that the conspiracy theory is, who is the most public operative for Mrs. Clinton right now? It\u2019s me, commander-in-chief, US Operation Chaos. And so the Democrats say, you know, the real reason, real reason this happened, they\u2019re saying the real reason that Wright got set up with this invitation, the National Press Club, and Obama ends up getting set up by this, is me, Operation Chaos. That\u2019s some of the wild conspiracy theories that are floating around out there. All right, again, we have declared an operational pause, pending study. You gotta have flexibility. You know, every battle cannot be planned from beginning to end because the minute you meet opposition, the plan changes. So we have always remained flexible with many, many options at our disposal. This is one of these that we did not foresee. In Operation Chaos, we did not foresee coming down the road that Obama would throw Wright off the planet. The operational pause has been declared while we engage in further strategy sessions to see where we go from here with Operation Chaos. One thing you can count on is, Operation Chaos will continue.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Barack Obama has committed another rookie mistake. He should never have had this press conference between noon and three eastern. This is something that even the stupidest Democrats have learned! You just don\u2019t do this. So now he\u2019s done it. We have one more sound bite from it. I want to warn you people again: Operation Chaos with an operational pause. We put it on hold here for just a day. I want to gauge the Drive-By Media reaction to this tonight because I know exactly what it\u2019s going to be, and you\u2019d better be prepared. If you watch it, you\u2019re going to be tempted to get sick. They\u2019re going to portray this as something exactly the opposite of what it is; that it\u2019s courageous, that it was brilliant, that it\u2019s an act of courage that we have not seen since the sixties in American politics. You watch. I\u2019ve already seen Chris Matthews set it up. I knew it was going to happen before he did it, but he followed through. Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, had the same take — and the others will be in on it. That\u2019s why Obama should not have done this between noon and three. Huge rookie mistake. Here\u2019s the final bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: He (pause) provided valuable contributions to my family, but at a certain point, if what somebody says contradicts what you believe so fundamentally — <\/p>\n

RUSH: At a certain point?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — and then he questions whether or not you believe it, in front of the National Press Club — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Come on, baby.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — then that\u2019s enough. That\u2019s a — a show of disrespect to me. It is also, I think, an insult to what we\u2019ve been trying to do in this campaign. She was (pause) similarly angered.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s talking about Michelle (My Belle) Obama there, being similarly angered. She was probably angry this is all happening, that Wright\u2019s been uncovered. She\u2019s a disciple! Look, we can cut to the chase on this. There\u2019s no way — absolutely no way — that Barack Obama learned anything new about Reverend Jeremiah Wright by virtue of what he said at the National Press Club yesterday. ‘He provided valuable contributions to my family\u2019? What? What were his valuable contributions, Senator Obama? Because he hasn\u2019t said anything new since we first heard of this guy. He hasn\u2019t said a thing new. He is who he is. If we want to talk about genuine on the Democrat side, there\u2019s one guy who is genuine in all this and it\u2019s Reverend Wright. Reverend Wright at least has the courage to open himself up and say, ‘Here\u2019s who I am, and I hate you! But this is who I am. I hate you, and I hate your country, and I hate riiiich whiiiite peeeeople! America\u2019s chickennnnnnns have come home to roost.\u2019<\/p>\n

At least he\u2019s got the guts to tell us what he is, what he thinks, and who he is — and there\u2019s nothing new here. I cannot emphasize this enough. So all these things he said at the Press Club yesterday, Obama, the light just went off? Ha! Fat chance. Again, I ask you to think of this: Imagine if a press conference was called later this afternoon, Mrs. Clinton walks out to the microphone and says that she\u2019s divorcing her husband; that she has filed papers because she just learned that he represents things that she can\u2019t stomach. He represents ideas and beliefs that she had no idea that he held, and he has been having affairs the whole time they\u2019ve been married. She just found out about it, and she is going to get out of the marriage. ‘It has no place in this campaign. He has no right to be dominating this campaign. It\u2019s my campaign.\u2019 This is what Obama has said about Jeremiah Wright. (sigh) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
