RUSH: Bob Dole has issued a statement. ‘On Face the Nation on Sunday, General Clark called Republican presidential candidate John McCain untested and untried, claimed that McCain had no executive responsibility, belittled his leadership of a naval unit because it wasn\u2019t a wartime squadron, and stated, ‘I don\u2019t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.\u2019 The attack by General Clark on Senator McCain\u2019s war record and qualifications for the presidency is beyond comprehension. Clark\u2019s absurd remarks signal further erosion in our nation\u2019s political discourse. He should have stayed in bed Sunday morning. It is unfortunate that a former general who ran for the presidency on his own war record thinks that it is appropriate to attack a distinguished veteran and former prisoner of war in this way. Senator McCain\u2019s entire life has been devoted to public service. His achievement and experience constitute unparalleled qualification for America\u2019s highest office.\u2019 I love Senator Dole on this, but what does it say, that the one firebrand in the Republican Party is Bob Dole, and it\u2019s two days after the fact. But, better late than never. Audio sound bite time. Jim Webb last night on PMSNBC jumping into this fray.<\/p>\n

WEBB: John McCain\u2019s been a longtime friend. If that is one area that I would ask him to calm down on, it\u2019s that. Don\u2019t be standing up and uttering your political views and implying that all the people in the military support them, because they don\u2019t, any more than when the Democrats had political issues during the Vietnam War. Let\u2019s get politics out of the military, take care of the military people, and have our political arguments in other areas.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Get politics out of the military? John McCain needs to calm down? This from a rookie Senator Jim Webb. Needs to calm down, don\u2019t be standing up and offering your political views and implying that all people in the military support them. This is again more smoke and mirrors. None of this McCain is done. But Webb gets up and says it, the Drive-Bys report what he says, and that becomes the official record of what McCain says, i.e., what Webb says that McCain is doing. Who infused politics into this? Who infused the military into politics? It was Clark who claims, by the way — grab audio sound bite number four. Here\u2019s Wesley Clark last night on MSNBC, asked for his response to being criticized for his remarks.<\/p>\n

CLARK: I wasn\u2019t representing the Obama campaign in anything I said yesterday about John McCain. I want to assure you, I would never, never diss someone\u2019s service. When people choose to serve in uniform, I honor it. I came home from Vietnam on a stretcher. I was shot, I took a burst of AK, I got four rounds, so I think I know a little bit about what it\u2019s like to honor men and women who serve in uniform. And I do, and I would never dismiss somebody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Twilight Zone time. This is after he did diss somebody. This is after he did diss somebody specifically on the basis of their military service. Claire McCaskill on MSNBC Live today, the infobabe asked her, ‘General Clark is not backing down from those comments that were critical of Senator McCain. What\u2019s the campaign\u2019s response to hearing that he\u2019s not stepping away from those comments?\u2019<\/p>\n

MCCASKILL: Senator Obama has been very clear. It is inappropriate in any campaign ever to devalue anyone\u2019s service to our country. That\u2019s what they did to John Kerry four years ago. He will not be a part of it. This campaign will not be a part of it. I think he respects the service of General Wesley Clark. I think Senator Obama understands that General Clark is speaking from his own perspective. But for this campaign, for the Obama campaign, it is never about devaluing someone\u2019s service to our country. Patriotism is about serving your country and your community, and that\u2019s what Senator Obama wants this discussion to be about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What does this remind you of? Here we have two Obama supporters, Claire McCaskill from Missouri, a senator, and Jim Webb, both recasting reality. Obama, (paraphrasing) ‘Our campaign never said anything, why, we would never do this. We\u2019re not going to put up with this. We would never, ever do it.\u2019 Webb said, ‘McCain\u2019s gotta calm down.\u2019 I wish McCain would act in a way just one day that somebody could legitimately say ‘calm down\u2019 and have it mean something. The Official Obama Criticizer nailed this in his critique in the first hour of this program. Barack Obama and his campaign, he is the first black Clinton. He will not be the first black president because that\u2019s Clinton\u2019s. But he is the first black Clinton. That is exactly what\u2019s happening here. Living in an alternative reality, and knowing full well that the Drive-Bys are going to cover for you and make reality whatever it is you say in response to things. So Clark gets a total pass. Obama gets a total pass. Obama gets treated as though he has rebuked what Clark has said, when he hasn\u2019t, and then Webb goes out and says that McCain\u2019s the one that needs to calm down. Meanwhile, the only official response from some elected Republican has been Bob Dole\u2019s. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Wayne in Prescott, Michigan, nice to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: One month early, but congratulations on 20 years of excellence in broadcasting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have dittoed everything you have a said, except for one thing you said yesterday.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: About McCain\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believe that he might have been more or less biting his lip and trying to keep his composure, and I think that this is what they\u2019re trying to do is get him to fly off the handle.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let\u2019s listen to it again. We happen to have McCain\u2019s reaction. You can listen to it with me here, Wayne.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want to do that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and then you can tell me if you still have your same opinion.<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: I think that that kind of thing is unnecessary. I\u2019m proud of my record of service and I have plenty of friends and leaders who will attest to that, but the important thing is, if that\u2019s the kind of campaign that Senator Obama and his surrogates and his supporters want to engage, I understand that, but it doesn\u2019t reduce the price of a gallon of gas by one penny; it doesn\u2019t achieve our energy independence, make it come any closer; it doesn\u2019t help an American stay in their home who are in risk of losing it today, and it certainly doesn\u2019t do anything to address the challenges that Americans have in keeping their jobs, their homes, and supporting their families.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think that was McCain biting his lip?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It sounds terrible the way he says it, but I do think that he was trying to bite his lip. I hope he was. Let\u2019s put it that way, I guess. I don\u2019t support him wholeheartedly like I would other candidates, but he\u2019s the best that\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, this is up or down on Obama. We can\u2019t afford Obama, any number of ways, can\u2019t afford him financially, can\u2019t afford him foreign policy. We can\u2019t afford Obama. We can\u2019t afford him in charge of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, any number of ways. I listened to this response, his qualifications have been assaulted and attacked, and his service as prisoner of war has been deemed to be meaningless. His flying fighter jets over Hanoi in the Vietnam War has been stated here as irrelevant and meaningless, and I don\u2019t know. I think I know when McCain bites his lower lip. When he\u2019s biting his lower lip, he\u2019s mad, and I\u2019ve seen him when he\u2019s mad. He wasn\u2019t mad yesterday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think what he\u2019s rather doing is trying to stay above the fray of all this. You may be right that he\u2019s trying to avoid getting sucked into their level down there and, you know, sucked into the level of Wesley Clark, who is a nobody, and perhaps if it had been Obama who had said this, that perhaps McCain would have had a more forceful response. But I don\u2019t think he was biting his lower lip.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, I will agree that way. He wasn\u2019t biting his lower lip, but he\u2019s keeping himself above the fray, and it\u2019s hard on him. That\u2019s gotta be extremely hard.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course it is, but George W. Bush has tried to same thing. He\u2019s tried to stay above the fray. One of the reasons he does not respond to his critics is because he thinks that it demeans the office of the presidency. He thinks he\u2019s above it, that politics is politics and people are going to say dastardly, mean, diabolical things about any president, and you got a job to do, and all that stuff that people say doesn\u2019t matter. But the job of president also takes place within the realm of politics, and that means you have to get elected to it and you have to get reelected to it. That means your voters have to feel like they\u2019re being led, that somebody is out there leading them somewhere, standing up for what they believe in. If you\u2019re going to continually get ripped to shreds in a political sense like this and not fire back at it — I mean the time is right — there are wrong times to do it, wrong people to react to. It might have been better for McCain not to react to Wesley Clark. I mean Wesley Clark is a nonentity and a nonfactor. But the fact of the matter is, it is, whether he says it or not — nobody will convince me otherwise — a coordinated effort from the Obama campaign. You have Clark on Sunday reiterating his thoughts yesterday and today. You have Rand Beers, somehow noted foreign policy expert, worked for Kerry in 2004, coming along and seconding the impression and the notion left by Wesley Clark. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re trying to do more than take McCain off his game. They\u2019re trying to do far more than that. They know they\u2019ve got a wuss as a candidate compared to McCain, in terms of experience, military experience, understanding aspects of national security. They know Obama\u2019s a wuss. They know they can\u2019t build Obama up into something he\u2019s not. They can\u2019t make us believe that Barack Obama was at D-Day. They can\u2019t make us believe that Barack Obama was anywhere near Vietnam. They can\u2019t make us aware that Barack Obama has even been to a recruitment center. So what they have to do is tear down McCain in that area and make it sound like he\u2019s nothing, that it\u2019s no big deal. And that\u2019s why you\u2019re going to see more and more people citing the fact that he did a propaganda video while he was being tortured and that he might have ended up saying traitorous things to save his life. They\u2019re going to do everything they can to destroy that aspect of McCain\u2019s service and of his life because their own candidate can\u2019t compare to it in any way. So rather than compare and fall short, you tear down what your opponent is. And, at some point, if you\u2019re in the process of being torn down, you have to make sure you take steps that that doesn\u2019t happen. I appreciate the call nevertheless, Wayne. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Jeff in Albuquerque. Great to have you here, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s really great to speak with you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: If I could also point out real quickly to some of your listeners, that Albuquerque is north of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Be happy to know that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, I just don\u2019t know what General Wesley Clark is thinking. John McCain, you know, flew for 23 missions in Vietnam, he\u2019s 22 and one. He was shot down in one of those missions. He was head of one of the largest squadrons in the Navy. He has 20 years of experience in the military. Over 20 years of experience in the Senate. Three of his sons serve or have served in the military. And what type of resume or service —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. What do you mean? You don\u2019t know what he\u2019s thinking?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t make sense. <\/p>\n

RUSH: It makes total sense. In the first place, he\u2019s a liberal! Liberals are diabolically mean-spirited people. Number two, he\u2019s part of the Obama campaign. He wants some kind of job in the Obama presidency or administration. He is doing what liberals do. It\u2019s no different than taking on Robert Bork if you\u2019re Ted Kennedy. It\u2019s no different than what they try to do to judicial nominees in the Senate Judiciary Committee, liberal Democrats. Liberals are liberals. They destroy their opponents. They try to destroy their character and their lives and their reputations because they can\u2019t compete. Wesley Clark couldn\u2019t hold John McCain\u2019s coffee cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
