RUSH: Do you want to hear Dick Durbin\u2019s take on this during a press conference to talk about the possibility of bringing Guantanamo detainees to an Illinois prison? You know, folks, these guy in Chicago are talking about all the job creation here. All these new jobs will be created by bringing the Gitmo terrorists to Illinois! Here\u2019s Dick ‘Turban.\u2019<\/p>\n

DURBIN: Eighteen hundred good-paying jobs with full benefit packages is a dream come true for many families in that part of the state. And then think of what those jobs lead to in terms of businesses, new schools, new hospitals, new libraries, new opportunities.<\/line><\/a>RUSH: Do you believe this? Bringing Gitmo terrorists to Thompson, Illinois, will be ‘a dream come true\u2019 for the people there! Look at the jobs, with full benefit packages! (Gasp!) New schools, new hospitals, new libraries, new opportunities. So if I follow their logic on this, folks — and I do follow their logic — we need to import even more terrorists to create good jobs in America. That seems to be the only way Democrats can think of to create jobs is to put terrorists in jails in our own country. So what we need to do is go everywhere around the world where there are terrorists, wherever they\u2019re being held, and bring \u2019em here! Start out there. Fill up this prison in Illinois then go somewhere else, and look at all the jobs that will be created. So it seems to me that if the Democrats really want to talk about job creation, they need to sell the idea of importing more terrorists to the United States and putting them in prison. Now, here\u2019s Durbin. He was asked about the possibility of Chicago becoming a terrorist target.<\/line><\/p>\n

DURBIN: Some of the criticism about this decision has crossed the line. Talking about actual buildings as targets in Chicago? Please. That doesn\u2019t do us any good. Speculation on where the terrorists might strike next, does that really help us as a nation? I don\u2019t think it does.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Okay! Then let\u2019s shut down the CIA, let\u2019s shut down every intelligence organization that\u2019s trying to find out where the next attack is going to be \u2019cause that\u2019s really not the United States. That doesn\u2019t do us any good. ‘Speculation on where terrorists might strike next, does that really help us as a nation?\u2019 Can you believe these guys are saying this stuff? It\u2019s just the tallest building in the country is only going to be a hundred or so miles away from where these jihadists are being holed up, but forget all of that. It doesn\u2019t do us any good as a nation? Please. ‘Actual buildings as targets in Chicago, speculation on where the terrorists might strike next? That doesn\u2019t help us as a nation.\u2019 We gotta bring terrorists in the country, job creation! And, no! Find out where the terrorists might hit? Do you believe these guys are actually saying this stuff? They are saying it. The State-Controlled Media is not reporting much of it, but we are.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: William in Myrtle Beach, Florida, great to have you here on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what I thought when I looked at it. Yes, hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I hope you\u2019ll make this point a little bit more clear than I will. I\u2019m sure you will, but I was thinking about what you said about Senator Durbin\u2019s comments about new jobs, and I got to thinking, these are public sector jobs. Public sector jobs are, in a way, a form of redistribution of existing wealth, because they don\u2019t create anything that\u2019s new. So they take my tax money or somebody else\u2019s tax money, they create a public sector job with the tax money, which is what pays for it, as a rule, and then that\u2019s money I would have circulated in the economy anyway, so there\u2019s no real value at all.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. I couldn\u2019t say it much better than that. I would just add one thing and that is that all these new jobs working at the prison and the schools that are going to be built for all the guards guarding the terrorists, union jobs, aren\u2019t they? Government union jobs. So not only are they not private sector jobs, they are adding and swelling union roles, SEIU, AFL-CIO, which just means more campaign cash for the Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
