WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 12, 2020

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington State, one of the first US areas hit by

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the coronavirus, still dealing with the fallout. Over the weekend,

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>people gathered at the state capitol and Olympia to protest

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>stay at home orders, which remain in place. A bunch

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of these protesters apparently picked up some tactics on the left.

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>On Facebook, they posted the names, emails, and phone numbers

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of snitches who had contacted the state to tattle on

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>businesses that opened in spite of the stay at home orders.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Two groups are behind the social media effort to out

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the snitches. One group is Reopened Washington State. The other

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>group is the Washington State three per Centers, named after

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the three percent of colonists who supposedly resisted British rule

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>during the Revolutionary War. They posted a spreadsheet identifying those

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>who tattled the government with this message, you want to

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>snitch on your neighbor, don't expect to hide behind your

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>computer screen. Leftist activist to use this tactic for years

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>on people. They've published the names of conservative political donors.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>They've even threatened the jobs of people who contribute to

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>battot initiatives they don't like. But now all of a

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>sudden political outing has liberals outraged. How dare these right

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>wing protesters snitch on their snitches. It's just deplorable. It's

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>beyond the pale. It's amazing how things can change on

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a dime.
