Speaker 1: This from Chris Matthews last night on his Uh Well,
Speaker 1: I wasn't hard ball, it was his election coverage on
Speaker 1: p MSNBC. The body language of the two is so different.
Speaker 1: You have this very waspy fella Lamont, very calm, very casual,
Speaker 1: very st Paul's almost in the prep school sense, labor.
Speaker 1: And of course there's the small c ethnic guy, the
Speaker 1: Uncle Tanous. You know, the guy that's very much he
Speaker 1: kind of lachrymose and his most almost post nasal drip voices.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't look happy. All right. Now, Uh, let's
Speaker 1: look the smalty ethnic guy, the Uncle Tanus. And as
Speaker 1: I said in the last hour, Uncle Tanous was a
Speaker 1: character on the old Danny Thomas Show. And I think
Speaker 1: pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tanus is played by
Speaker 1: Hans Cunried, huge hook nose and so forth. The and
Speaker 1: here's here's Matthews describing. Let's let's be honest about this, folks.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it out there. When you say somebody
Speaker 1: is a smalty ethnic guy, you're not talking about an Arab,
Speaker 1: You're talking about a Jew. You describe somebody as a
Speaker 1: schmaltzy ethnic guy who is uh pulse nasal drip with
Speaker 1: his voice lachrymose and so forth. Uncle to nous in
Speaker 1: character was a Lebanese Arab, Danny Thomas was a Christian
Speaker 1: Lebanese uh and and uncle to Noose therefore, But isn't
Speaker 1: it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab
Speaker 1: as a as as a Jew on the on the
Speaker 1: basis of appearance, Uh, schmaltzy ethnic guy, which I you know,
Speaker 1: there are some people saying this, but they're dancing around it.
Speaker 1: But one of the little are not often discussed aspects
Speaker 1: of the Kuk fringe base of the Democratic Party. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna put it out there, is its anti semitism.
Speaker 1: There is so much anti semitism today in the Democratic Party. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is, it is. I don't think it's an accident
Speaker 1: that Sharpton and the Reverend docs are up there standing
Speaker 1: behind Lamont during lamonts and but what's calm about Lamont?
Speaker 1: When I listened to these Lamont remarks from his acceptance
Speaker 1: speech last night, I hear somebody assist a couple of
Speaker 1: octaves and a couple of decibel levels before below Howard Dean. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the only is missing is the scream. It is calm
Speaker 1: uh waspy fellow, very calm, casual, very St. Paul in
Speaker 1: a prep school sense. That's a way to relate to
Speaker 1: most of America. Chris St. Paul, What the hell? St. Paul?
Speaker 1: It was a person. St. Paul wants it's a prep school. Well,
Speaker 1: how many Americans actually go to prep school, particularly in
Speaker 1: the Northeast. That's this little bit, little bit of a
Speaker 1: of a sidebar. Sort of fascinating, isn't it that In
Speaker 1: the two thousand presidential campaign, nobody at MSNBC, Chris Matthews,
Speaker 1: nobody else described Senator Lieberman as uncle to Noose, as
Speaker 1: a Schmalsey ethnic guy. Isn't it amazing? So you go
Speaker 1: from uncle to Noose to Uncle Tom in six years
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. Welcome back, folks, to eight to
Speaker 1: l rush Ball on a roll mark in Bethesda, Maryland,
Speaker 1: your next, sir, Nice to have you with us. Good afternoon, Russia.
Speaker 1: I am a speck of red in a sea of blue,
Speaker 1: um Jewish Republican here, and I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for your for your continuing support of Israel. Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I think it's it's scary for all of
Speaker 1: my Democratic friends here that just don't get it, especially
Speaker 1: with this Lieberman um result yesterday. The party has been
Speaker 1: taken over. Their party has been taken over by people
Speaker 1: that are anti Israel, as in Cindy Sheehan and Sorrows,
Speaker 1: who happens to be a self hating Jew, they hey,
Speaker 1: it Israel, they hate Jews, their terrorism deniers. And I
Speaker 1: just I just hope it's a wake up called to
Speaker 1: the Jewish people that are out there. Is that still
Speaker 1: the best party for them? Yeah, doubt that that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. It's going to take a little bit more
Speaker 1: than this. The the the the seat of this anti
Speaker 1: Semitism right now is focused in Kok's Uh like she
Speaker 1: Han and Uh and and the blogs and the move
Speaker 1: on dot org people in Soros. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: if you if you read letters to the editor from newspapers,
Speaker 1: which I do, and this is part of the show.
Speaker 1: I love reading letters to the editor. Have you ever
Speaker 1: written letters to the editor New York Times, you may
Speaker 1: as well be reading one of these cook blogs. And
Speaker 1: and many of these people that write these letters are
Speaker 1: apparently Jewish, and they echo the same sentiments that that
Speaker 1: the she hands echo and say, okay, what is it
Speaker 1: that's the unifying force here? And it's hatred for Bush.
Speaker 1: And it's not hatred for Arabs. It's not hatred for
Speaker 1: Amadinazad or they has. It's hatred for Bush. It's uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna you know, it's I could
Speaker 1: say the same thing about the black population this country.
Speaker 1: When are they gonna wake up and understand the party
Speaker 1: they've been supporting does nothing but take them for granted
Speaker 1: and doesn't offer them any real solution. It just uses them.
Speaker 1: Uh it. I just don't see it happening. I think
Speaker 1: it's one of the most uh covered up aspects of
Speaker 1: what's happening to the Democratic Party is how anti Semitic
Speaker 1: uh and anti Israel uh, the the apparent movers and
Speaker 1: shakers and that party are. And Lieberman's a living testament
Speaker 1: to it. I mean, let's be honest. Let me ask you, Mark,
Speaker 1: I mean you you you you said your Republican Jew.
Speaker 1: How much do you think Lieberman owes his defeat to
Speaker 1: the fact that he's just Jewish at this point in time?
Speaker 1: I don't know. With with the with the way that
Speaker 1: party is being being taken over, probably some because remember
Speaker 1: the last summer. What Cindy she hadn't said about Israel,
Speaker 1: so probably some of it. Uh what did she say?
Speaker 1: I've refreshed my memoir. It's a here's the quote. You
Speaker 1: get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine
Speaker 1: and you'll stop the terrorists. So again, blame America, blame Israel. Yeah, exactly, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's uh, that's true. Well in fact, uh, speaking
Speaker 1: of blame America, blame Israel, let me give you a
Speaker 1: little thanks. Thanks Mark for the for the phone call.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. There's a guy named Lawrence Right who
Speaker 1: is a staff writer for New Yorker, the New Yorker magazine.
Speaker 1: He's got a new book out and the book is
Speaker 1: called The Looming Tower, which he calls quote a bid
Speaker 1: to understand and explain the rise of Islamic extremism, and
Speaker 1: in an interview with Al Reuters the fake War photo
Speaker 1: guys Um, Lawrence Wright explains that American authors and filmmakers
Speaker 1: haven't done enough to blame America for nine eleven. Here's
Speaker 1: a quote. I feel like it's been a great failure
Speaker 1: of our artists and our writers that we haven't done
Speaker 1: a better job at looking at ourselves and how we
Speaker 1: are and how our own behavior to some extent, contributed
Speaker 1: to this tragedy. Our behavior, yep. According to Right, Americans
Speaker 1: lost sight of our core values, especially the rule of
Speaker 1: law and a code of decency. In other words, we
Speaker 1: not the terrorists. We lack values, and we lack decency
Speaker 1: and respect for the rule of law. And oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the Islamic world perceives a pro Israel bias in our
Speaker 1: Middle East policies. So it's not just kooks like Cindy
Speaker 1: Sheehann and the others. Here's a New Yorker magazine. He
Speaker 1: could very well be a cook, uh, blaming us for
Speaker 1: our and our association with with Israel. He said, when
Speaker 1: Bin Laden attacked America, he was posing two questions to us.
Speaker 1: One is what's America and what does it stand for?
Speaker 1: The other is what is Islam and what does it
Speaker 1: stand for. I'm not making this up. This guy's got
Speaker 1: a book out and it's all about how we're to
Speaker 1: blame and our enough artists and writers blaming America doing articles, stories, movies,
Speaker 1: what have you blaming America? The only question, I mean,
Speaker 1: you rational person would ask or associate with the Bin
Speaker 1: Lawden was whether we had the resolve to wipe his
Speaker 1: evil off the face of the earth, because he didn't
Speaker 1: think that we have that resolve anymore after Mogadishu. Is
Speaker 1: why he did this, because he thought he could get
Speaker 1: away with it, and so he was under the impression
Speaker 1: that we were cowardly, we wouldn't take casualties, and he
Speaker 1: could get away with this. Now, these blue state Lamont
Speaker 1: liberals don't have the will to do that. They don't
Speaker 1: have the will to wipe evil off the face of
Speaker 1: the earth because they think we're it. They think we
Speaker 1: are the evil. They blame us and Israel while doing
Speaker 1: everything they can to understand terrorists. They don't even have
Speaker 1: the sense to know that we're at war. And if
Speaker 1: they admit that we're at war, they don't have the
Speaker 1: sense to admit who the enemy he is because they
Speaker 1: consider us their own country to be the enemy. So
Speaker 1: when you when you say, what's it gonna take for
Speaker 1: certain groups to wake up and uh and smell the coffee?
Speaker 1: I frankly, uh, you know they're they're they're the certain
Speaker 1: people are liberals are liberals first. Others are what they
Speaker 1: are first? Uh, And the common enemy that they've always
Speaker 1: had is going to remain the common enemy. But I
Speaker 1: just I don't think there's any question about the fact
Speaker 1: that that one of Lieberman's one of the one of
Speaker 1: the um should I say, one of the factors in
Speaker 1: his defeat was the fact that he's just Jewish right now.
Speaker 1: And you if you, if you, if you go to
Speaker 1: these blogs, if you spend any time reading them and
Speaker 1: the move on dot orgs and so forth, you'll find
Speaker 1: some some of the most anti Semitic stuff on the
Speaker 1: face of the earth that you've ever read, and anti
Speaker 1: Israel stuff that you have ever read. Marvin and Detroit.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you called. Welcome to the E I B Network. Hello, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I Rush Mega Detroit, Tiger Dittos the beautiful blue state
Speaker 1: of Michigan. Thank you, sir, Hey Rush. I was just wondered,
Speaker 1: what do you think, you know, if Lieberman does run
Speaker 1: as an independent, what's the chances maybe a Republican sneaking
Speaker 1: in there? And if if they do, when is the
Speaker 1: is a simple majority in the election? Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: won't happen. Uh. The I think if Lieberman runs is
Speaker 1: an independently, the Republicans might try to get a Republican
Speaker 1: in their two run just to uh, you know, cause problems.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Republicans could sneak in that that's
Speaker 1: too blue at state that that that state is. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't even I'm not sure it would
Speaker 1: be competitive. And if if it were a Republican to
Speaker 1: be a Lowell Wiker type, you may as well have
Speaker 1: a Democrat be I'd be a link Chafe type. Uh
Speaker 1: that would that would win in in Connecticut run Who
Speaker 1: will run for the Republicans? Who will in Connecticut? I
Speaker 1: have no clue. I only know in uh now they
Speaker 1: have had elected they they they've elected Republican governors. I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's uh. I mean, it's not impossible. Nothing
Speaker 1: nothing is and you know it's it's still early. I mean,
Speaker 1: as we know, things happen at a breakneck pace in politics,
Speaker 1: and they're always as most things in the future are unpredictable,
Speaker 1: um and anything, anything could happen here. I don't want
Speaker 1: to lock myself into saying that no Republican could win.
Speaker 1: The Republicans aren't gonna nominate anybody. I in fact, I think, um,
Speaker 1: the the thing you look at as far as Republicans
Speaker 1: are concerned in Connecticut is how does this end up
Speaker 1: helping Republican congressional incumbents holding like Chris Shays and UH
Speaker 1: and Rob Simmons UH. This result no question boosts their
Speaker 1: chance of holding on to their districts, and they're vulnerable
Speaker 1: right now. According to polling data, the Democrats have to
Speaker 1: win these two seats in Connecticut if they have any
Speaker 1: chance of taking back the House. This result I think
Speaker 1: helps these two Republicans hold onto their seats.
