RUSH: Okay, I\u2019ve got a better version here of Steny Hoyer at his town meeting, a more complete version. This was Tuesday in New York. He was up there with Representative Michael Arcuri and they held a press conference to talk about funding for high-speed rail. And during the press conference Hoyer and a protestor named Don Jeror have this exchange about health care reform. <\/line> <\/line>JEROR: You\u2019re lying to me! I don\u2019t have sophisticated language. I recognize a liar when I see one. It was 53% this morning now it\u2019s addin\u2019 up the nukes!<\/line><\/p>\n

HOYER: I didn\u2019t say it wasn\u2019t w-w-what you\u2019re saying. <\/p>\n

JEROR: You said it was the Bush administration. No, it wasn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

HOYER: I said it hadn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n

JEROR: Listen, I\u2019m a registered Democrat, okay? <\/p>\n

HOYER: Me, too. <\/p>\n

JEROR: Why would you guys try to stuff a health care bill down our throat in three to four weeks when the president takes six months to pick what he wanted for a dog for his kids? <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause) <\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s called slice and dice. Slice and dice.<\/p>\n

All right, this is Ellen in Holbrook, Arizona. Hi, Ellen, great to have you with us. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, hi. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I just went to a meeting and she didn\u2019t want to call it a town hall meeting. She didn\u2019t want to answer questions. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, you went where? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Her name is Ann Kirkpatrick. She was newly elected in November. <\/p>\n

Rush: So you went to Ann Kirkpatrick\u2019s town hall meeting. Now, start at the beginning again. <\/p>\n

CALLER: She went to several communities here. She\u2019s been going to several communities. She\u2019s headed to Winslow next. She was here 45 minutes ago and was supposed to be here 15 minutes longer, but she walked out. She wanted to have us in small — <\/p>\n

RUSH: One-on-ones, right? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. <\/p>\n

RUSH: This is what they\u2019re trying. The Democrats, this happened in Florida yesterday. I think some down in Miami. Or maybe it\u2019s… There are so many of them running, I get it confused. But these Democrats are trying to have one-on-ones in private, and the crowds are saying, ‘There ain\u2019t no way.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Ain\u2019t no way. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And a couple of guys said, ‘We want to ask questions! You work for us! We want to hear the answers,\u2019 and we couldn\u2019t hear a thing. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Eh, you guys sound like an unruly mob and nazis. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, it was bad. We had swastikas all over the place. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I can imagine. I can imagine. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Anyway, after the second person in her cue spoke out loud and said, ‘I want to ask this question: If we enact this health care bill, are the members of Congress going to be a part of it?\u2019 And she hemmed and hawed and really didn\u2019t want to answer. <\/p>\n

RUSH: She doesn\u2019t know! <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think she knows perfectly well that they don\u2019t want to be part of it. But finally she just got up and left. She didn\u2019t want to stick around for any more.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s not going to be happening from now on. Let me share this with you. This is from my buddy Erick Erickson at RedState.com: ‘Trying to avoid middle class workers opposed to Obamacare, Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D-FL) has scheduled a last minute townhall for tonight.\u2019 She wasn\u2019t going to have one. ‘She\u2019ll be surrounded by union goons from the [Service Employees International Union] to feed middle class voters to alligators if they dare criticize Obamacare.\u2019 This is what\u2019s happening. Obama has mobilized union thugs to go out and also attend these town meetings to intimidate the genuine citizens out there who are upset about this. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, this was no town hall meeting. She didn\u2019t want that. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Those are paid activists. Paid activists are going to be showing up and so the Democrats are going to get brave now. So they are going to have, uhhh, ‘protection.\u2019 Uh, the mob\u2019s showing up. The real genuine mob is showing up to protect these Democrats from the unruly Nazis that are showing up to protest the health care bill. John in Mansfield, Texas. Hello, sir. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Megadittos from the retired Navy man. <\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Okay. First thing… Well, I wanted to ask about two things, but I\u2019ll start with the first one. In line with what you\u2019ve been saying all day today, you know, we\u2019ve got a bunch of sleaze bags up there that are going to pass this whether we like it or not. Once they do that, what can we do to fix it? <\/p>\n

RUSH: You throw them out of office. That\u2019s the first thing that will happen if this happens. The Blue Dog Democrats will be the first casualties. They will go, and some other Democrats are going to go as well. <\/p>\n

CALLER: But what I\u2019m getting at is — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Look…<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let\u2019s say we put in the Republicans — <\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve been talking about this every day. Let me say it once and for all. The question is, ‘What can we do about it after they pass it?\u2019 In the first place I\u2019m not conceding it\u2019s going to get passed. I\u2019m not giving up. I\u2019m not conceding defeat on this, not with what\u2019s going on out there. Not with the White House unraveling. But if it gets passed, whether it gets passed or not, what are we going to do? We need to revitalize the Republican Party and make it conservative once again. We need a conservative candidate who loves conservatism, can articulate it, can defend it, can explain it and can cherry-pick what\u2019s wrong with liberalism; is optimistic, understands the greatness of this country and where it comes from. That\u2019s what we do! And then once we do that and start winning elections, then we start unraveling it. <\/p>\n

But if we\u2019re going to sit around here and think, there\u2019s nothing we can do, that this is all inevitable, then let me know and I\u2019m out of here. I\u2019ve got plenty of golf courses I can go to before they go out of business in this economy. The intricacy of this bill — and we don\u2019t know what\u2019s in it. If it does pass, we really don\u2019t know what version of it is going to pass. There\u2019s too much. They could end up passing something very simple that just raises taxes on people, insures a few people. All Obama wants here — well, not all. What he will settle for at the end of all this is to be able to say he reformed health care. He\u2019s building a monument to himself. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve made the point all day, he doesn\u2019t announce his plan. He doesn\u2019t have a plan. We\u2019re talking about one plan and that\u2019s the House of Representatives plan which he hasn\u2019t read. He\u2019s not going to get specific. But I don\u2019t concede that this is a lock. I don\u2019t concede that it\u2019s a fete de complete. Look, these people have changed the argument. They aren\u2019t even talking about health care anymore. They are talking about Nazis and swastikas and party run by talk show hosts and so forth. If you change the argument, it means you\u2019re losing. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, pursuant to the point that I was making about conservatism and it revitalizing and taking over the GOP, how many times in the last two years have we heard that conservatism is dead, that the era of Reagan is over? That conservative principles are dead, that the movement has to reinvent itself, that the movement has to adopt more of the approaches of the left, et cetera, et cetera? How many times have we heard this? And how many times have real conservatives like me said, ‘No, we don\u2019t have to reinvent ourselves, we don\u2019t have to change who we are. What we need to start doing is exposing the left for what it is.\u2019 We have to explain who we are. We have to contrast ourselves with them. It is hard work, but it can be done and it must be done.<\/p>\n

My friends, you have to work at liberty. The history of the world is tyranny and dungeons and torture and poverty. That\u2019s what\u2019s so exceptional about the United States. You have to work at liberty. You have to defend it. You have to explain it. You have to promote it or it will be lost. We have to engage these people. We have to stand up to them. We have to challenge them, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s being done here in these town hall meetings. It\u2019s happening at the office. You name it. People are standing up for their liberty. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on at the town hall meetings. People are standing up for their freedom. They are saying, ‘You are not taking any more liberty and freedom from us.\u2019 The moderates in our party and the left see nothing but permanent decline. They see decline and prosperity and living standards, economic opportunity, they see that as inevitable. We do not. We see America as a pie that never, ever needs to stop growing. We don\u2019t need to reinvent ourselves. We need a party that will expose the left, not get so introspective and say, ‘What\u2019s wrong with us?\u2019 There\u2019s nothing wrong with conservatism.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s another series of lies — I think they\u2019re lies — that the Democrats are using out there to change the argument, hype up this business on the town halls. ‘Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) will not be hosting any town hall events this August — instead, he\u2019s making himself available for one-on-one constituent meetings.\u2019 One of the reasons is ‘his offices have received threatening phone calls, including at least one direct threat against his life.\u2019 I frankly don\u2019t believe this. I don\u2019t believe these guys\u2019 lives are being threatened. ‘Freshman Democratic lawmaker ‘physically assaulted at a local event\u2019 by activists.\u2019 This is from Thinkprogress.org, a website that we know lies and makes things up. Mary Katharine Ham exposed them last night and today in a blog piece at the Weekly Standard. I don\u2019t believe it. There\u2019s a pattern developing here, a pattern. These precious, these wonderful, these imperialist members of Congress working so hard to make our lives better, why, they\u2019re being threatened, their lives are being threatened, they\u2019re being assaulted by these unruly mobs. It\u2019s all BS.<\/p>\n

Lloyd Doggett, Texas, last night on MSNBC urging his fellow Democrats not to do what he did and flee protestors. He was asked the question: ‘Congressman Doggett, you had one of these famous events where you were basically kind of chased into your car and out of there by these protestors?\u2019 <\/line> <\/line>DOGGETT: Well, Lawrence, that\u2019s really the right-wing spin on it. They dribbled out a little videotape. What it doesn\u2019t show is that I spent an hour discussing and debating this bill and listening to all the taunts and the pictures of the tombstones with my name on it and they show some video at the end when their noise got so loud, it just wasn\u2019t productive to stay any longer. Democrats shouldn\u2019t flee. We need to stand and fight these people. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Thank you, Congressman Doggett. We need to stand and fight the American people. We Democrats need to stand and fight the American people. So the host says, ‘So now you are telling me something I didn\u2019t know based on this imagery that you feel you had a productive meeting.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line>DOGGETT: No, I wouldn\u2019t say it was productive. I stood my ground and debated with them this bill, listened to all their laughable objections to the bill, explained why a public plan, a public option is essential. And then what they did after their views were expressed and responded to, they shouted down their neighbors because they didn\u2019t want to hear the views of other people. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: They didn\u2019t want to hear lies. They didn\u2019t want to hear lies. This is a quick bite, five seconds in Little Rock, Children\u2019s Hospital. Mike Ross, Vic Snyder held a town meeting on health care reform and a participant stood up and expressed his views. <\/line><\/p>\n

VOICE: You need to get the government the hell out of our way. <\/p>\n

(applause) <\/p>\n

RUSH: Now this is interesting, too. During a radio interview yesterday, Chuck Grassley in Iowa City said this about health care reform. <\/p>\n

GRASSLEY: In countries that have government-run health care, just give you an example. I\u2019ve been told that the brain tumor that Senator Kennedy has, because he\u2019s 77 years old, would not be treated the way it\u2019s treated in the United States. In other words, he would not get the care that he gets here because of his age. In other words they\u2019d say, ‘Well, he doesn\u2019t have long to live,\u2019 even if he lived another four or five years. They would say, ‘Well, we\u2019ve got to spend the money on people that can contribute more to the economy.\u2019 It\u2019s a little bit like people saying when somebody gets to be 85 their life is worth less than when you\u2019re 35 and pull the tubes on them. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: And give a pain pill. Now Chuck Grassley is a moderate. Let me tell you what\u2019s happening here. I think all of you people out there have to realize that your actions are leading Republicans, they\u2019re growing some onions. Some of these moderate Republicans are actually having to spread their legs a little bit to make room. You think a guy like Chuck Grassley would say this about Ted Kennedy if he didn\u2019t feel like he was on solid ground with his voters? There is no way he would say anything like this. So you are emboldening these people out there in your own party. I think it\u2019s fabulous.<\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Lou Ann, Mount Vernon, Ohio. Welcome to the EIB Network. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I am so upset. I have got a story, speaking of liars, to tell you. I called my Congressman\u2019s office and asked them — this was August 4th, Tuesday. I called his staffers and asked them when he was going to be returning to our district here in Ohio and having hometown meetings to which I was told, ‘We\u2019re not sure yet, but we are sure he will be back and have meetings; they will be posted on his website. Hang onto your hat.\u2019 At the very same time I was asking about when this liar was going to return to Ohio, he was having a closed door meeting with the newspaper people in this town. He was already here! He was already here, and his staffers told me, ‘We don\u2019t know when he\u2019s coming back, but we know he will be having town hall meetings.\u2019 And as of last night they still weren\u2019t posted on his website and he used all of Pelosi\u2019s talking points and we had a great big front page article called ‘Clearing Up the Misconceptions on the Bill.\u2019 Do you understand? They lied to me. They lied to me. He was in the town, in our hometown here when they told — <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Even worse than that, they lied to you while he\u2019s at the newspaper working on a joint propaganda plan. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And can I give his name? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Yeah. I was going to ask you the liar\u2019s name. What\u2019s his name? <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Zack Space. And this is in Ohio. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Zack Space? <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And let me say this, too. Calling him a blue dog. There is no such thing as blue dog. You determined it right. They are lap dogs. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: They are lap dogs and they are Democrats. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: And he\u2019s a liar, they lied. His staffer\u2019s lied to me. They said they didn\u2019t know where he was. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Wait a second. They could have thought he was with a girl and they were just protecting him. You never know.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true because after what happened with Sanford, we all know that could be the case. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I\u2019m not saying he was. I\u2019m not saying he was. We\u2019ve got experience here that guides us in these things with — (laughing)<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. Because I tell you, I\u2019m close to tears over this, and you have given me the first chuckle I\u2019ve had over this lying bag of crap all day. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Man, you are worked up. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t like to be lied to. I can tell you I can take just about anything, but do not lie to me. I don\u2019t like to be lied to. And I want to tell these people something. The reason we\u2019re fired up and we\u2019re going to these town hall meetings is not because we\u2019re some bunch of riffraff or troublemakers. And the reason people are exploding like this is because we\u2019re tired of being lied to. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Amen, sister. You are tired of being lied to, plus you have read the bill. You know what\u2019s in it. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I have. I\u2019m an RN, honey. I read it. And my husband\u2019s a radiographer. We\u2019ve read it. We\u2019ve read it. We know it. We live it. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Let me tell you. Thanks, Lou Ann, for calling. If any of you Blue Dog Democrats are listening to this, this is what you are going to face. If you think people are going to forget this by November 2010, do not make that mistake. They are not going to forget this, especially if this thing passes. There will be a price to pay that you cannot imagine. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lansing, Michigan. Tom, hi, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, hello, Rush, now I\u2019m in Jackson. One of the perks of driving a truck. Eventually I\u2019ll make my way back home to Detroit. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Okay, good. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: One quick thing. What these people have to realize, Pelosi and all these people, there\u2019s a lot of me out there. There\u2019s a lot of disenfranchised Democrats, Democrats in exile that are frustrated because they\u2019ve trusted these people for so many years and now we\u2019re trying to retrain our brain and we\u2019re finding the other side of the story and we\u2019re really disappointed in them. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Come 2010 they will not get my vote and thousands of others. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: See, I said this yesterday. I said that the core of the Democrat Party is not this ultra-radical leftist. The core Democrat voter is not like these people running the Democrat Party right now. Now, I\u2019ve also heard my entire 21-year career here on this show, conservative blacks call and say, ‘Hey, it\u2019s over. The lock that the Democrats have on the black vote is over,\u2019 and it has never changed. So I know you are speaking for yourself and it\u2019s anecdotal data, but this is the most radical regime that this country has ever had leading it. And we\u2019ve been asking for a long time, ‘Do all the Democrats in this country really want this?\u2019 and I\u2019ve always thought, ‘No. No, they don\u2019t.\u2019 We\u2019ll find out. We\u2019ll find out the next election. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
