From a pure business standpoint&#8230;. Also&#8230; I really don\u2019t talk about myself much as you people know. But it is now A-okay to make fun of the left. But it used to not be fun to make fun of the left. You used to not be able to do that, but then some guy started a radio show and started making fun of them: &#8216;the environmentalist wackos,\u2019 &#8216;the feminazis.\u2019 He started doing satire and parodies about all these people, and everybody was shocked. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You just can\u2019t do that! You can\u2019t do it.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Why not? They\u2019re making fun of us all these years.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Well, you can\u2019t! Our positions are morally superior. Our positions are sacred. You can\u2019t make fun of us! Our work is too serious.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your work is a joke! Your work is dishonest. The satire is easy. It\u2019s simply telling everybody who you really are and what you\u2019re really all about,\u2019 and the left to this day still has no sense of humor. This business of Rahm Emanuel using &#8216;F-ing retarded\u2019 to describe his own radical leftist Democrats for getting in the way on health care and so forth&#8230; I never used the word. I never once used the word! It never crosses my mind to use the word. Yet Rahm Emanuel did it. So because Sarah Palin said, &#8216;This is making fun of people,\u2019 I decided, &#8216;Well, if it\u2019s okay for the Democrats to do it, and the Democrats are out there defending Emanuel, then, okay: I\u2019ll go ahead and do it,\u2019 and everybody in this audience knew full well what I was doing: Having fun with a Democrat finally in the same position they always put us in. <\/p>\n<p>You know, they\u2019re the PC Police, and they hammer us outta office. They drive us out of our careers when we violate their speech codes. So here is Rahm Emanuel stepping in it big time, and I thought I would just make fun of it. And you wouldn\u2019t believe the left out there thinks &#8212; independently of Emanuel &#8212; that I started using the word and that Sarah Palin should demand that I get fired, just like she did of Emanuel (or apologize), when I was clearly making fun of Emanuel and everybody in this audience knew it. I actually think that most on the left know it, too. They just love all this feigned, faked outrage and they love using the Speech Police to drum people like me out of our work or out of office or what have you. In fact, let\u2019s grab number 27 first, Mike, before we get back in order at number three. Even today, on The View, Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg were talking about me as though Rahm Emanuel had nothing to do with what I was doing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.60544.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" class=\"alignright\"\/>WALTERS: In this interview, they talked about Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was using satire. Rahm Emanuel should be fired. Rush Limbaugh was using satire? <\/p>\n<p>GOLDBERG: Yeah, well, when he appears at Caroline\u2019s, the comedy club, I\u2019ll believe it was satirical. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I love these people. So you have to go to a comedy club to use satire? You have to be a comedian to get away with satire. (interruption) That was this morning, Snerdley. That was the Whoopi Goldberg who did that fundraiser for John Kerry. Yeah, that\u2019s the same Whoopi Goldberg who used the F-bomb I think a number of times at a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall for John Kerry (who served in Vietnam). Yeah, it\u2019s the same Whoopi Goldberg. (laughing) (interruption) I know. They really do. The liberal mind &#8212; you know, it scares me I understand it. It really frightens me I understand it, because I predicted this is going to happen! I predict it every time we do it. I predict what\u2019s going to happen, and it happens. So here\u2019s what they\u2019re talking about on Sarah Palin, Fox News Sunday yesterday. She and Chris Wallace had a discussion about this. It\u2019s two sound bites.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"186\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>WALLACE: Rush Limbaugh weighed in this week and he said this: &#8216;Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult has taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, &#8216;retards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PALIN: He was satirical on that.<\/p>\n<p>WALLACE: Wait! Let me finish! <\/p>\n<p>PALIN: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>WALLACE: &#8216;I mean these people, these liberal activists, are kooks.\u2019 Should Rush Limbaugh apologize? <\/p>\n<p>PALIN: They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was using satire to bring attention to what this politically correct &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>WALLACE: But he used the R-word!<\/p>\n<p>PALIN: He was using satire. Name-calling by anyone &#8212; I teach this to my children; you teach it to your children and your grandchildren, too. Name-calling by anyone, it\u2019s just unnecessary. It just wastes time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wallace kept going, but Palin stuck to her guns.<\/p>\n<p>PALIN: I didn\u2019t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with &#8216;F-ing retard,\u2019 and we did know that Rahm Emanuel &#8212; it\u2019s been reported &#8212; did say that. There\u2019s a big difference there. But again, name-calling, using language that is insensitive by anyone &#8212; male, female, Republican, Democrat &#8212; it\u2019s unnecessary, it\u2019s inappropriate and let\u2019s all just grow up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes. So there you have it.: Sarah Palin sticking to her guns there And it did not die. It was going on all weekend; it was happening on Friday. This was this morning. The guest Political Capital host Al Hunt and the anchor babe Betty Liu says, &#8216;Moving on Sarah Palin on the tea party convention, mocking Obama. Is she serious about a presidential run?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>HUNT: This weekend demonstrated two things about Sarah Palin: What a terrific performer she is. She gave a very effective speech. She had some great lines. She delivered them very effectively. She got in trouble, however, on another issue where she said Rahm Emanuel ought to resign because he used the word &#8216;retard,\u2019 and then Rush Limbaugh said something far, far worse and intentional as opposed to Emanuel, and she sort of took a dive on Rush Limbaugh. It shows she can\u2019t quite hit big league pitching when it\u2019s not put down the middle for her.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Far, far worse? (laughing) I quoted him. You know what, they\u2019ve moved on. They have moved on, but they are livid. The left is livid over a picture in which she had written some crib notes in the palm of her hand. They were just little reminders of areas to discuss. You know, they used to make fun of Reagan for having index cards to remind himself of where he was going. Of course their guy can\u2019t even make sense without a teleprompter, and even with the right words on the teleprompter he still doesn\u2019t know how to pronounce them, as in &#8216;corpse-man.\u2019 Three times he said &#8216;corpse-man.\u2019 So here these spoiled brat, whiny little R-words are sitting there upset that Sarah Palin had some little notes on her hand. Well, Sarah Palin might have the Media Tweak of the Day because she\u2019s in a campaign appearance with Rick Perry, the governor of Texas. She has written &#8216;Hi, mom\u2019 on her palm, as a reminder to say hi to mom. She says, &#8216;It\u2019s right there.\u2019 She\u2019s holding it up for everybody to see, clapping her hands. The media can see it. These people are so easy to tweak and make fun of, and I\u2019m glad that somebody besides me has learned how to do it, \u2019cause it just agitates them even further. It just irritates them all the more. Here\u2019s CNN. They have a stalker at CNN who does nothing but follow me around: Carol Costello. She\u2019s a figurative stalker. She\u2019s not actually tried to get in my gate&#8230;yet. Don\u2019t misunderstand. (laughing) We have a montage of a Carol Costello reporting about the R-word. You\u2019ll hear some other people in this as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.1945.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" class=\"alignright\"\/>COSTELLO: The president\u2019s chief of staff called liberal Democrats &#8216;F-ing retarded.\u2019 A Huffington Post columnist joked Sarah Palin would run on &#8216;a retardation platform\u2019 in 2012, and then there\u2019s this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult\u2019s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, &#8216;retards.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>FRANK STEPHENS, SPECIAL OLYMPICS GLOBAL MESSENGER: It\u2019s very hurtful for those who are trying to live in this community. Let\u2019s stop using the R-word. It\u2019s time we come up with a new word: Respect.<\/p>\n<p>COSTELLO: But thanks to the constant R-word banter in the world of politics, Frank might get his wish. Because of Rahm Emanuel\u2019s &#8216;F-ing retarded\u2019 remarks, Special Olympics officials were able to meet with the president\u2019s chief of staff in the White House. Emanuel and the Huffington Post columnist apologized for their use of &#8216;the R-word\u2019 but Rush Limbaugh did not telling his audience he was only quoting Rahm Emanuel and in explaining that, that that\u2019s why he used the term R-word. &#8216;It was satire,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>KIRAN CHETRY: Mmm\u2019yeah, and he wasn\u2019t just quoting Rahm Emanuel. He went off on his own rant, as well.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Based on Emanuel! Based on continuing to embarrass Emanuel! You people don\u2019t understand. You drive us out of our jobs for violating your speech codes, you drive us out of our elective offices for violating your speech codes, and this was just a golden opportunity to ram it back down your collective throats. So you sit around and you sound like stuck pigs and whining little babies. (crying) &#8216;Rush Limbaugh did it, and what Rush Limbaugh did was worse! Wah, wah, wah! It was worse, and he got on a rant, and it was worse than what Emanuel did and he didn\u2019t apologize. He\u2019s so mean.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Speaking of Whoopi Goldberg, let\u2019s not forget this. September 28th, 2009, during a discussion of Roman Polanski\u2019s case, she said that Polanski\u2019s rape of a 13-year-old in 1977 was &#8216;not rape-rape.\u2019 Not rape-rape. She, of course, had her foul-mouthed appearances for John Kerry and other Democrats during campaigns. She\u2019s upset and says I can\u2019t use satire because I wasn\u2019t at Caroline\u2019s comedy club. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Bob in Hollywood, California. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, hey, Rush how you doing, buddy?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very well. Thank you, buddy.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: This one is for Whoopi: For years the left has disavowed everything you\u2019ve ever said because you\u2019re a, quote, unquote, &#8216;entertainer.\u2019 Now, you go on your satirical &#8216;retard\u2019 rant and suddenly you don\u2019t qualify as a comedian. I just love it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) You know, we\u2019ve had three really sharp, brilliant callers today, and you are one of them. That had even escaped me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it wouldn\u2019t have escaped you for long. It would have come to you eventually but I thought I\u2019d have to just get in there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, my gosh, that\u2019s an excellent retort! That\u2019s surpurb. You are almost as good as me at turning it around on them.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I tell you what, Rush. I was born to do what you\u2019re doing and I can\u2019t tell you what an inspiration you\u2019ve been. On unrelated topic, I\u2019ve just had a book published that I\u2019m actually sending you a copy of today, gave some of my experiences in the trenches of the Los Angeles Public School District. And I think it\u2019s something you\u2019re really going to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What\u2019s the title of the tome?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: The title is &#8216;Crippled by Compassion: Public Education\u2019s Model for a Whiny, Underachieving America.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I love the title: Crippled by Compassion.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s a great title. I\u2019ll keep a sharp eye out for it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019m sending it to the New York address today, so have a look when you get it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell the people up there to keep a sharp eye on it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Great.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Just like I\u2019ll be keeping a sharp eye on Biden going to the Supreme Court and the Hillary joining the ticket. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) All right, buddy, it\u2019s a pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Can you say desperation? That\u2019s great, Bob in Hollywood. So all these years I don\u2019t count, what I say doesn\u2019t count because I\u2019m an entertainer! Now, all of a sudden, I can\u2019t do satire \u2019cause I\u2019m not an entertainer, \u2019cause I don\u2019t go to &#8216;Caroline\u2019s comedy club,\u2019 quote, Whoopi Goldberg. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019m still thinking about that Audi ad last night, because at the end of the day it leaves you with the thought that there\u2019s a great product out there.
