Let\u2019s go to audio sound bites. This is State-Run Media, a montage in which many of them feel they were reminded of Bill Clinton\u2019s post-Oklahoma City bombing speech.<\/p>\n<p>CROWLEY: This reminded me of President Clinton after the bombing at the Murrah building in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<p>BAIER: President Bill Clinton had Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<p>GOLER: This is a national moment, calls for Presidential leadership. It is like the Oklahoma City bombings.<\/p>\n<p>KING: A moment for this president, a moment to reflect, not unlike the days after Oklahoma City. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, the way these media people go and the way the Democrats look at it, these tragedies are good things for a president. Remember, the Democrats were so bent out of shape after 9\/11 because it was an opportunity for greatness for George W. Bush that had passed President Clinton by. But now, Oklahoma City, let\u2019s go back, let\u2019s listen to President Clinton after Oklahoma City. This is why they love the Clinton Oklahoma City speech.<\/p>\n<p>CLINTON: We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other. They spread hate. They leave the impression that by their very words, that violence is acceptable. You ought to see &#8212; I\u2019m sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today. It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That was in Minneapolis on April 24th, 1995, in which President Clinton blamed me for the Oklahoma City bombing, ginning up government hate. Now, they haven\u2019t blamed me for Fort Hood, but wait \u2019til you hear in subsequent sound bites who is being blamed for this by Democrats. But first let\u2019s go to President Obama himself. He says this is incomprehensible. We can\u2019t possibly understand what happened here.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: This is a time of war. These Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle. They were killed here on American soil in the heart of this great state, in the heart of this great American community. This is a fact that makes the tragedy even more painful, even more incomprehensible. It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy but this much we do know. No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, it does.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: No just and loving God looks upon them with favor. For what he has done we know that the killer will be met with justice, in this world and the next.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean folks, ought to read to you what my friend Andy McCarthy wrote about this at National Review Online: &#8216;After the carnage we\u2019ve seen for two decades, and the high religious authorities that have endorsed it, it is simply astounding that an American president &#8212; at a solemn memorial service for soldiers killed just days ago by a jihadist acting on his rational, broadly accepted understanding of his religious duty &#8212; could claim that &#8216;no faith justifies\u2019 sneak-attack murders, and that no religion teaches that &#8216;God looks upon them with favor.\u2019 In fact, a widely held interpretation of Islam holds exactly these principles. No one is saying that all Muslims follow Hasan\u2019s construction of Islam, but hundreds of millions do and they have scriptures to back up their beliefs &#8212; scriptures we could all read if we\u2019d just pull our heads out of the sand. To deny that is to deny reality. A country can\u2019t be protected by people who lack the will to face reality.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/corner.nationalreview.com\/post\/?q=OWE4YTM3MmZlODFjYjUxYzg3MzNlZWIzMjE0MmIwMWU\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>And that\u2019s what we have in president Obama. I\u2019m still struggling, does he face reality, is he this naive or is he this cunning? He\u2019s got to know what jihad is. He\u2019s got to know of the imams that preach it. He\u2019s got to know that there are scriptures in these people\u2019s book that suggests the way to get to heaven is to kill infidels. This is not even arguable. As Andy says here it\u2019s not about all Muslims but clearly hundreds of millions of them. Let\u2019s listen to the next sound bite. <\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: The stories of those at Fort Hood reaffirm the core values that we are fighting for and the strength that we must draw upon. Theirs are the tales of American men and women answering an extraordinary call, the call to serve their comrades, their communities and their country. In an age of selfishness, they embody responsibility. In an era of division, they call upon us to come together. In a time of cynicism, they remind us of who we are as Americans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I tell you, folks, there is bashing of America again, taking the occasion of this solemn moment to bash the country with his New Age liberal-speak, in an age of selfishness? I thought he was going to fix all that. In an era of division? I thought he was going to fix all that? In a time of cynicism? I thought he was going to fix all that? He also used the term &#8216;extremists\u2019 to talk about people who act as Nidal Hasan did. They are not extremists. They are mainstream in their sect of Islam. They are mainstream. There are hundreds of millions of them. They are not extremists. This is serious stuff, the president of the United States, refusing to recognize &#8212; and of course the FBI refusing to take seriously, the Justice Department refusing to take seriously these agencies not sharing information that they had about this guy. You know, this guy, I had a PDF file today, George Washington University did its own transition task force, Presidential Transition Task Force last year. It ran from April 2008 to January 2009. <\/p>\n<p>This is not an Obama-assigned task force. It was George Washington University, Homeland Security Policy Institute, &#8216;Thinking Anew, Security Priorities for the Next Administration. Proceedings report of the Homeland Security Policy Institute Presidential Transition Task Force.\u2019 So they\u2019re working on this regardless who is going to be elected president. You go to page 29 of this PDF file, and among the participants who were giving lectures, sitting in on panel discussions, you find the name Nidal Hasan, Uniform Services University School of Medicine. Now, this is not Obama per se, and I don\u2019t want anybody to misunderstand here, but this is a failure of the broader government. How in the world, even if you don\u2019t do background checks formally which take a while for task forces like this, wouldn\u2019t you at least check with law enforcement or his name with the military, they knew about the guy. How does this guy end up, I mean, everywhere we seem to look, this guy is someplace of prominence. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s at Walter Reed giving speeches, lectures to other doctors. As I said yesterday, this guy was not on the radar or even under the radar, he was on stage. He was on stage to the point that everybody knew he was on stage. So here\u2019s Obama with this speech willingly missing the boat on this? Taking the occasion here to praise the military by saying they show us the way during a time of selfishness, cynicism, and division. You know, these speeches are supposed to be uplifting. These speeches are supposed to be inspiring. They\u2019re supposed to comfort. He bashes the country. This business of division, who was it that divided this country on the war in Iraq? It was Barack Obama and practically every member of his party except for Joe Lieberman at the time. It was Barack Obama. It was Harry Reid. It was John Kerry: (paraphrasing) &#8216;This war is lost, we have no chance, we don\u2019t deserve to win.\u2019 John Murtha: (paraphrasing) &#8216;Our Marines over there are committing rape and murder.\u2019 Age of division. Ralph Peters last night on the O\u2019Reilly Factor, he\u2019s a columnist for the New York Post, question: &#8216;You listened to the president today. What do you think?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>PETERS: One point particularly got to me, offended me. It wasn\u2019t hard to comprehend, and it\u2019s not now. It was the act of an Islamist terrorist who gunned down 54 people because he believed he was doing the will of Allah in accordance with the Koran. Not hard to understand. The evidence is there. And where are the Southern Baptist suicide bombers? Where are the Methodist marketplace massacre types? It\u2019s clear that the problem is Islam. And the other thing that offended me in all the speeches at Fort Hood today, not one mention of terror, terrorist, terrorism. I didn\u2019t expect them to mention Islamist terrorism, but what does it take? What evidence does it take for our president to admit this was an act of terror? My God.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He can\u2019t. He can\u2019t because it occurred on his watch. Now, here is Dick Durbin. Let me remind you about Senator Durbin. Senator Durbin, remember, went to the floor of the Senate and compared interrogators in Guantanamo Bay and at Abu Ghraib of being no different than the people that worked for Pol Pot, the people that worked in the Soviet gulags, and the Nazis. Remember, that was Dick Durbin, US Senator from Illinois. On the Senate floor yesterday, he said this.<\/p>\n<p>DURBIN: To rush to judgment based on this new act of violence at Fort Hood is premature, and it may be unfair, certainly to the 3,500 Muslim Americans who proudly serve in our nation\u2019s armed forces today. As you walk through Arlington cemetery, devoted to the &#8212; the section that\u2019s devoted to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, you will find headstones with the crescent star alongside the crosses and Stars of David. As investigators search for answers as to what happened last week, we owe it to the brave men and women serving at Fort Hood and throughout our military to think clearly and act thoughtfully.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What is he doing here? Is he blaming this on the US military? He\u2019s determined to absolve radical Islam of any blame here. Just amazing. And here is Obama\u2019s patron, Mayor Daley, of Chicago, at a press conference yesterday to announce the expansion of Arabic language programs in Chicago city schools.<\/p>\n<p>DALEY: Every day in society someone\u2019s being killed. Unfortunately, America loves guns. We love guns to a point that we see the devastation on a daily basis. And you don\u2019t blame a group, you don\u2019t blame a society, immigrant community because of actions of one group. You can\u2019t &#8212; one individual, you cannot say that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So he\u2019s blaming it on our love of guns, on a military base! Had the 300 people in that room crowded into these cubicles, had they been armed, there might have been less carnage once this guy let loose. Remember, it was a local cop that brought down Hasan. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Jason in Houston, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, thank you for taking the call. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You were mentioning the guy from the New York Post that was on O\u2019Reilly, and he asked the question halfway rhetorically, &#8216;What\u2019s it going to take for Obama to admit this is a terrorist attack,\u2019 and I was riding with my wife in the car when the answer struck me, along with some expletives, that it\u2019s going to take for something like this to happen on video is my opinion. If this attack at Fort Hood had been on video and everyone could see the step by step, I don\u2019t want to get too graphic, but see what was happening and hear what was happening, I don\u2019t think even Obama could maintain his agenda-driven denial.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Perhaps. Don\u2019t underestimate this guy in his ability to cast this as something else. Jason, we have 9\/11 on video. And look how quickly people have forgotten that. We have 9\/11 on video, and we have a large percentage of this country, mostly Democrats, who think that George Bush knew about it and engineered it and let it happen. So don\u2019t think that just a video is going to persuade. If Obama wants to stay in denial about this, then he will find a way to try to pull it off. I mean this is blatant. This is blatant. We know intelligence agencies knew everything about this guy. He was connected to a radical imam who advised, inspired two 9\/11 hijackers. He was in the same mosque. He was communicating with this imam 10 to 20 times via e-mail. &#8216;Allahu Akbar\u2019 when he opens fire. I mean, this is more than denial going on. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.39638.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"321\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Fox News has a story. Is it Fox News or is it AP? Hang on just a second. Fox News has a story. Everybody is now pointing fingers at everybody else in government over how this guy, Hasan, got past everybody. FBI is pointing at people and somebody is pointing at FBI and all this. It\u2019s just really comforting. The government once again has failed, and these failures keep mounting. Now, the latest excuse for inaction is the First Amendment. &#8216;Well, look, it would really been a serious violation of the First Amendment to read those e-mails and then act on them, those e-mails. We were really, really worried about the Constitution.\u2019 (sigh) Right. Now, in that article is this quote from Evan Thomas of Newsweek. Now, remember Evan Thomas of Newsweek said in 2004 that the media would give Kerry at least a 15-point edge in the presidential race. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s the same Evan Thomas who said that Obama was some kind of god. Here\u2019s what he said about Hasan\u2019s faith: &#8216;I cringe that he\u2019s a Muslim,\u2019 said Evan Thomas of Newsweek. &#8216;I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he is probably just a nutcase, but with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and just &#8212; I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.\u2019 So they\u2019re worried this is going to get the right wing going. We are the enemy, folks! We are the enemy. Not Hasan, and not Islamic jihadists, not Iran. We, the right wing in this country! We are the enemy of this administration, this government, and this media. You know, General Casey. General Casey was in command in Iraq. General Casey spoke to George W. Bush almost daily in Iraq. <\/p>\n<p>It was General Casey who had to go when Petraeus was selected to go in there and lead the surge. And General Casey is now the chief of staff of the Army. And he talked about the &#8216;diversity\u2019 in the Army and, oh, how this incident is so very bad. He said something to the effect that it would be even worse if this incident caused us to lose our diversity in the military. And he went out there and said we\u2019re going to do everything we can to make sure there\u2019s not a backlash against the Muslim soldiers in our military. Janet Napolitano in the United Arab Emirates said we\u2019re going to do everything we can to make sure there\u2019s not a backlash against Muslim Americans in the United States. And there are statistics and numbers out there: Hate crimes against Muslims are at an all-time low, since 2001! They have plummeted. <\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any hate crimes. There is no &#8216;backlash\u2019 against Muslims in America. Zip, zero, nada! Yet Janet Napolitano is all worried about it. Casey, General Casey, is all worried about it. You know who suffers more hate crimes than anybody else in this country, religious hate crimes? Jewish people! Jewish people are subjected to more hate crimes in this country than any other religion. The hate crimes against Muslims in this country is in the hundreds every year, not tens of thousands. So there is no backlash. And all of this, folks, all of this is so typically liberal. You know what this is like? Obama and his State-Run Media, the Democrat Party, General Casey, they\u2019re like a bunch of these liberal, out-of-touch adults at a Little League or Pop Warner football no-score game where we\u2019re just going to have the kids play.<\/p>\n<p>And we won\u2019t keep score because we don\u2019t want the losers to be humiliated. &#8216;That\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh! This is just about people having fun. We don\u2019t want to humiliate people and forces of competition. Because in competition someone always loses, Mr. Limbaugh, and their feelings are hurt, and this is why we must eliminate competition,\u2019 and so we\u2019ve got people in the military thinking this way! We\u2019ve got our commander-in-chief thinking this way. What do you think it is that makes somebody say, &#8216;I\u2019m uncomfortable with the concept of victory. It reminds me of the Japanese surrendering in World War II on the USS Missouri\u2019? They don\u2019t like competition \u2019cause there\u2019s losers. <\/p>\n<p>So these guys, Obama and the media, Evan Thomas and all the smart people, all the elites &#8212; the Democrat Party, General Casey &#8212; they\u2019re sitting around congratulating themselves on how enlightened they are, at how good they are at maintaining self-esteem and how good they are in all of their diversity. But as I told you once: The kids in these no-score games are keeping score. The kids playing the game, I don\u2019t care how young they are, know who\u2019s winning and who\u2019s losing and they are playing to win. They\u2019re writing it down on their hands. They\u2019re keeping the score in their heads while these hoity-toity parents think they are enlightened by running around with no-score games and they\u2019re protecting sensitive, hurt feelings so that their kids will not feel like losers on the soccer field or the football field or the baseball field. <\/p>\n<p>Well, the soldiers of the US military are the kids playing the game, and Obama, the Drive-Bys, the Democrats, General Casey are these enlightened adults. And the military knows the score. It is Islamic terrorists 13, Fort Hood 0. The soldiers know it and most Americans know it. The only people who do not are the media and their boss, Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel. But the members of the military know. Can you put yourself in their uniforms yesterday at Fort Hood listening to that drivel? They know exactly what went on in there. And their commander-in-chief comes down and can\u2019t even face it, can\u2019t even address it and has to talk about because, &#8216;it happened because we\u2019re in an age of division and selfishness and cynicism\u2019? This is Veterans Day. <\/p>\n<p>The members of the military are keeping score. And right now, at Fort Hood, they\u2019re losing on their home field! And we\u2019ve got Evan Thomas saying, &#8216;Oh, I\u2019m sorry this guy was a Muslim. Oh, it\u2019s just a nutcase! These things are tragic but this is just going to get the right wing going! Oh, no! It just makes it worse.\u2019 It makes it worse! Not that 13 people are dead. What makes it &#8216;worse\u2019 is that the guy who did it is a Muslim and that\u2019s &#8216;going to get the right wing going.\u2019 Islamic Terrorist 13, Fort Hood 0. The soldiers at Fort Hood and Fort Dix and Fort Bragg and Fort wherever know it. Most Americans know it. To have this kind of stuff happening on Veterans Day, what would you call it? Irony? Or is it just a smack in the face? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.0315.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Whatever happens, whatever happens, the backlash is always against us. You got Napolitano, you got Casey worried about the backlash against Muslims. It\u2019s not the Muslims who need protection. It\u2019s us! We conservatives are the ones who need protection. Oklahoma City, blame us! 9\/11, blame us! Chelsea Clinton said it was Bush\u2019s tax cuts that led to 9\/11. She did. Hurricane Katrina, blame us! Fort Hood, blame conservatives! Some lunatic shoots an abortion doctor, blame us! Swine flu, blame us! Donovan McNabb has a lousy season, blame me! (laughing) Well, it\u2019s true. It\u2019s always our fault. It\u2019s like the USSR, the Soviet Union, when things went wrong they always blamed Trotsky and then they blamed Reagan. Or in the allegory Animal Farm, the statists in that book, they blame everything that goes wrong on Snowball. Folks, we are the Satan in their religion. Everything that goes wrong has to be our fault. Evan Thomas, &#8216;Oh, no, oh, no, the guy\u2019s a Muslim, oh, no, oh, no, it\u2019s gonna get the right wing going.\u2019 We\u2019re the ones who need protection. St. Louis Rams can\u2019t find a buyer, it\u2019s our fault! <\/p>\n<p>Steve in Middleburg, Virginia, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. I\u2019m glad you waited. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Always an honor.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Someone compared Hasan to Timothy McVeigh or Geraldo comparing him to the Columbine killers. I would actually compare him to William Ayers, the domestic terrorist &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you saying that Gerry Rivers compared Hasan to the Columbine killers?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What movie did he watch?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s Geraldo for you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What movie were they showing in the mosque? What movie was the imam telling him to watch? Because remember the Matrix movie got blamed for Columbine.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. Right. I can\u2019t explain Geraldo, I don\u2019t begin to try. But I would compare him to Ayers, though, he was a domestic terrorist not happy with the war being waged at that time, plotting to attack the Pentagon. But all is not lost &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, bit of a stretch here because we don\u2019t yet have evidence that Hasan was a friend of Obama\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, no, no, but all is not lost &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean Ayers was and is.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I was about to say, you know, all is not lost for Hasan. If he plays his legal cards right in 30 years he might be able to chair a psych department at a prestigious university or maybe even host a fundraiser for a future Democrat candidate for president of the United States. I know that sounds silly, that can never happen in America. Oops.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sorry, it has happened in America. (laughing) He could chair a psych department at a prestigious university in 30 years and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t mean to make light of the situation, Rush, I\u2019m trying to be, shall we say, ironical.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me tell you something. You\u2019re good because sometimes humor is the best way to illustrate reality. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush, for everything you do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you. Appreciate that, Steve.
