RUSH: Folks, there is so much apologizing going on from members of this administration, it\u2019s just amazing. First place, there\u2019s Rahm Emanuel out there who is in big trouble for calling liberals, for calling liberal activists F-ing retards. Sarah Palin demanded that he be fired. Instead, he is apologizing to liberal activists. He was getting mad at them about health care. The liberal activists kept blaming the White House for all this health care debacle not happening and not getting done. Emanuel\u2019s getting ticked off out there saying, (paraphrasing) ‘What are you blaming us for? We didn\u2019t do anything about it, you F-ing retards.\u2019 I think the big news is the crack-up going on. But our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult\u2019s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are ‘retards,\u2019 ‘retards.\u2019 I mean these people, these liberal activists are kooks. They are Looney Tunes. I\u2019m not going to apologize for it. I\u2019m just quoting Emanuel. It\u2019s in the news. I think the big news is that he\u2019s out there calling Obama\u2019s number one supporters ‘F-ing retards.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So now there\u2019s going to be a meeting, there\u2019s going to be a ‘Retard\u2019 Summit at the White House, much like the Beer Summit between Obama and Gates and that cop in Cambridge. And then the Republican transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, he\u2019s out there apologizing because he told people not to drive their recalled Toyotas. And he said, (paraphrasing) ‘No, no, no, I didn\u2019t say don\u2019t drive \u2019em. I said take it in and get it fixed.\u2019 Here\u2019s the story: ‘Don\u2019t Drive Recalled Toyotas: US Transportation Secretary — LaHood called automaker ‘a little safety deaf\u2019 during probe of problem. He is advising owners of recalled Toyotas to stop driving them and get \u2019em fixed. His warning came Wednesday in testimony before a House Appropriations Committee,\u2019 but he\u2019s since gone out to a different microphone and said, (paraphrasing) ‘No, no, no, no, I didn\u2019t mean to say don\u2019t drive \u2019em.\u2019 Don\u2019t forget Toyota is a competitor to Obama Motors. You can\u2019t throw that out of the equation. Obama owns GM and Chrysler, and Toyota is a number one competitor. This is no different than the CEO of Ford going on TV or buying an ad and saying don\u2019t drive a General Motors car. <\/p>\n

Then Arne Duncan is apologizing for what he said about Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans public schools. He said Hurricane Katrina was the best thing that ever happened to New Orleans public schools. It was the best thing that ever happened to education in the New Orleans school system. He said, ‘the school system has improved so rapidly,\u2019 because we had to rebuild it from scratch. ‘It\u2019s a wonderful thing to watch. The school system is strong again where it was relatively weak before.\u2019 That can happen when half the population moves to Houston and you throw in even more cash. Duncan called on New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin to explain his remarks. <\/p>\n

And then John Ensign, Senator from Nevada, Republican, ‘demanded an apology Tuesday from President Barack Obama for remarks he made disparaging Las Vegas. Ensign took to Twitter to ask for an apology for the remarks, the latest the president has made in several negative references to the city. ‘Obama slams Las Vegas again. I am calling on the President to apologize for his remark. Las Vegas is suffering through one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and we cannot afford for the President to bring us down any further.” Reid got a letter from the president but Ensign did not. That\u2019s the news from our Las Vegas affiliate. No surprise there. This guy\u2019s an ideologue, he\u2019s a partisan. Says he\u2019s not. <\/p>\n

From the Wall Street Journal: ‘Emanuel Steps Up His Apology — Rahm Emanuel privately apologized last week to the Special Olympics after the Journal reported that he used the word ‘retarded\u2019 in a derogatory manner. But advocates for people with disabilities didn\u2019t think that apology, coming in a phone call to Special Olympics head Tim Shriver, was enough. Now, Emanuel is taking his contrition one step farther — hosting a delegation of advocates, including two people with mental disabilities, at the White House.\u2019 They\u2019re going to have a ‘Retard\u2019 Summit just like they had the Beer Summit. But, folks, let\u2019s not forget, Obama insulted the Special Olympics on The Tonight Show. I haven\u2019t forgotten this. You know, here\u2019s the thing. If you want to look at how this is broken down, Emanuel compares Democrat activists to retarded people, then apologizes to retarded people. Not to the Democrats. <\/p>\n

Normally if you call somebody a retard, you apologize to them for calling them a retard. But he has apologized to the retarded people for daring to lump them with Democrats. It\u2019s hilarious. So in an effort, ladies and gentlemen, to quell rising questions about the endless apologies necessary from Democrats, Obama is taking a short bus, little yellow bus full of ‘retards\u2019 — ‘F-ing retards\u2019 — to Las Vegas for the weekend. Senator Harry Reid expressed appreciation for the gesture and hoped that none of the ‘F-ing retards\u2019 spoke with a Negro dialect. Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, will also be with the delegation in Las Vegas, bringing some undereducated children from Katrina-ravaged New Orleans. The goal is to teach them not to gamble with their college fund. I mean that\u2019s what we have learned from what is happening with this administration. If this were Republicans making these statements, there wouldn\u2019t be any forgiveness. There would be calls for resignation. There would be calls for public humiliation. There would be calls for fines. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I referenced a moment ago that Rahm Emanuel with his ‘F-ing retard\u2019 comment and Obama, you remember, had gone out on The Tonight Show and he\u2019d made fun of Special Olympics bowlers. Well, here, let\u2019s go back in time and remember how that happened. <\/p>\n

(playing of Obama prepping for the Tonight Show spoof) <\/p>\n

RUSH: He said it. ‘I bowl like I\u2019m in the Special Olympics,\u2019 President Obama. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, folks, seriously — and you may not know this. This uproar over Rahm Emanuel calling Democrat activists ‘F-ing retards,\u2019 demonstrates the power of Sarah Palin. It was Sarah Palin who, on her Facebook page this week, demanded that Obama fire Emanuel. But this comment is from last August! The ‘F-ing retard\u2019 comment, he made it last August. Of course our State-Controlled Media buddies tell us that she\u2019s ‘irrelevant\u2019 and she\u2019s ‘stupid\u2019 and so forth and ‘she would be the instant death of the Republican Party.\u2019 She\u2019s the one that got all this brouhaha going. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Gail, Barrington, Illinois, nice to have you on the Rush-Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Love you, listened to you for lots of year but I was distressed by your comments on Rahm Emanuel\u2019s reference to retarded persons.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I was distressed because you took the view as though his comments were an insult to the liberal Democrats, which I\u2019m sure Sarah Palin wouldn\u2019t have cared about anyway. The reason they were so offensive is because by using the term ‘retarded\u2019 or ‘retards\u2019 as a term of opprobrium or derision is insulting to all persons with mental disability.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. But the point I was making was that Emanuel compares Democrats to retarded people and then apologized to the retarded people, which, in turn is not a complimentary thing to say about the Democrats, either. It\u2019s sort of like if I would compare Obama to a rat and somebody said, ‘Don\u2019t do that, you\u2019re insulting rats.\u2019 This is the same thing. Rahm Emanuel is comparing Democrats to retarded people. People say, ‘Don\u2019t insult retarded people that way.\u2019 That\u2019s my take on it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think he and a lot of people in our society use those terms as a way to denigrate those people. It is not polite. It can be hurtful. And I think that in a lot of your comments, it sounded to me as though you were repeating that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I was. I was trying to focus attention on, once again, a loose lipped Democrat. These guys get away with insulting people left and right, they\u2019re never called on it, and so if Rahm Emanuel can say it, I\u2019ll just jump in to highlight the fact that another Democrat, this time the president\u2019s chief of staff, is out there talking this way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, and I agree with you on that point. I just felt as though your comment, it seemed to me to underline the idea that the insult was to the Democrats, and it\u2019s not, the insult is to the people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no. I know the insult is to retarded people but those are not my words. Those are not my words. And, by the way, I gotta tell you something. When I grew up, this is to show you how society has changed, retarded is what they were called even by the schools. When I grew up, that\u2019s what they were called. It\u2019s only recently that that\u2019s become a pejorative.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, and I don\u2019t have a problem if someone is discussing an actual person with mental retardation in appropriate — I mean, I have a son with developmental disabilities. And if I were discussing it with, you know, someone at the school or we were discussing him in a clinical way and saying that he had mental retardation, it\u2019s not the current term, but to me that would not be an insult. Yet if somebody referred to him as a retard —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Like Rahm Emanuel did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, and the way Rahm Emanuel referred to him was in fact insulting. But I thought that your comments that the insult was to the Democrats, not to the people who were denigrated —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, maybe I didn\u2019t express it right, but the point is I just found it funny that Rahm Emanuel, the first thing he did was compared liberal activists to retarded people and then apologized to the retarded people for doing that as though it\u2019s an insult to be called a Democrat. And —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: As I told you, it\u2019s just like if I were to call Obama a rat, ‘No, no, no, don\u2019t insult rats that way.\u2019 So here\u2019s Emanuel, who has called Democrats retarded, and the retort is, ‘Don\u2019t insult retarded people that way by calling them Democrats.\u2019 That was the point I was trying to make with the irony in Rahm Emanuel\u2019s comments. But you got to understand, look, this is not just Emanuel, it was Obama on The Tonight Show —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Special Olympics comment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Special Olympics, when he bowls he looks like a Special Olympian or something, I mean the dirty little secret is all these pejoratives and all these politically incorrect terms, Democrats use them all the time in private conversation and they never get held to account for it. Rahm Emanuel made this comment back in August. Did you know that, Gail?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did, because I was listening to you earlier and you referred to it. Yep. No, I agree with you about the double standard, and I agree with you that it was offensive, but it is not clear from your comments that the reason why it is so offensive is because it is used as a pejorative —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — denigrating as an opprobrium against a whole class —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve gotta cut me some slack. I\u2019ve been here 20-plus years. You\u2019ve got to know that I know that that\u2019s a pejorative comment. It\u2019s the reason I kept repeating it is to never let people forget that it was Rahm Emanuel who said it. It\u2019s like Harry Reid and the Negro dialect, I kept talking about that, ‘Yeah, he\u2019s light-skinned and he doesn\u2019t speak with a Negro dialect except when he wants to.\u2019 And sure enough the next day I caught grief as though I had originated the comment. That\u2019s the way the press works. Anyway, Gail, I\u2019m glad you called. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify any confusion that existed out there. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go to John in Crofton, Maryland. You\u2019re next. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You always catch flak whether you deserve it or not. The way I took it was that Rahm Emanuel, who\u2019s supposed to be, you know, such a masterful politician, he got caught in the act of being himself, and liberals, Democrats, to me they\u2019re synonymous, they\u2019re supposed to care for these protected classes of people like the disabled or whatever they call them, and the Special Olympics people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly. They\u2019re the ones have all the compassion —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and the understanding and the tolerance —<\/p>\n

CALLER: But see, this is showing the hypocrisy —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and I think that\u2019s what you were trying to point out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, exactly.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And they\u2019re fighting for these people while out there calling Democrats ‘F-ing retards\u2019 and so forth. I mean these people are phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock ‘n\u2019 rollers.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me just say something about the president\u2019s poll. It seems like he still has a high likability factor. People are not crazy about his policies. He keeps on coming down on that approval rating, and unfortunately it\u2019s kind of making him out to be a Jekyll and Hyde president. And I think that\u2019s too complimentary to what this guy is all about. He\u2019s just a scoundrel, he\u2019s got a final solution for this country, he hates this country, he hates most of the people in it, and I think that he\u2019s tearing the place apart. I have a neighbor two houses away that works at the Goddard Space Center, he\u2019s been there for years, I remember when Sputnik went up and we all of a sudden went into a cash program to catch up with the Soviets. I remember in 1969 when we landed on the moon, we\u2019re supposed to have another moon shot in ten years, and the president is bringing down NASA, he\u2019s taking away our triumphalism because he hates the greatness of this country, and of course there are a lot of contractors that do work for NASA, he\u2019s canceling another fighter, first the F-22, now the F-35 is going to get canceled and little by little he\u2019s tearing the private part of the economy apart. I see the economy of this country is two glasses, one is public, in other words, the government jobs, and that\u2019s filled with water, and the private sector is half filled or less than half filled, and he\u2019s continuing to pour water or more government jobs in the glass that\u2019s already overflowing and he won\u2019t put any water in the glass that needs it. He\u2019s doing all this on purpose, and he told Diane Sawyer that if he\u2019s only in for one term he\u2019d rather do that than be mediocre for two terms because his final solution —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — is to destroy the country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you\u2019ve got to be sure and watch the second bomb that I throw tomorrow on Fox &amp; Friends because I address that very comment that he made about he\u2019d rather be a great one-term president than a lousy two-term president. Thanks for the call out there, John.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It looks like Eric Holder is trying to make some amends for Rahm Emanuel and his comments on the retarded. ‘The Justice Department is now seeking…\u2019 I kid you not. I\u2019m going to read this in a second. They\u2019re seeking to hire lawyers with ‘mental retardation\u2019 and ‘mental illness\u2019 as lawyers. Maybe this is why they decided not to prosecute the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia. ‘The Civil Rights Division…\u2019 This is from Justice.gov, the website: ‘The Civil Rights Division encourages qualified applicants with targeted disabilities to apply. Targeted disabilities are deafness, blindness, missing extremities, partial or complete paralysis, convulsive disorder, mental retardation, mental illness, severe distortion of limbs and\/or spine. Applicants who meet the qualification requirements and are able to perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation are encouraged to identify targeted disabilities in response to the questions in the Avue application system seeking that information.\u2019 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s right there, folks. I\u2019m not making it up. Holder\u2019s Justice Department is actually seeking lawyers with ‘mental retardation, mental illness, severe distortion of limbs and\/or spine.\u2019 If you meet the Justice Department qualification requirements, even though you might have ‘mental retardation, mental illness\u2019 — and even though you\u2019re mentally retarded, mentally ill, can perform essential functions of the lawyer position — then you are urged to apply. Yeah. In other words, what Eric Holder is saying is, ‘Would you fit in with everybody else in our Department of Justice? ‘Cause that\u2019s who\u2019s here now. Would you fit in with us?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
