WEBVTT - Rush's Timeless Wisdom - Matthews Remark Exposes Left-Wing Anti-Semitism

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>This from Chris Matthews last night on his Uh Well,

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't hard ball, it was his election coverage on

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>p MSNBC. The body language of the two is so different.

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You have this very waspy fella Lamont, very calm, very casual,

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>very st Paul's almost in the prep school sense, labor.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And of course there's the small c ethnic guy, the

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Tanous. You know, the guy that's very much he

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of lachrymose and his most almost post nasal drip voices.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>But he doesn't look happy. All right. Now, Uh, let's

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>look the smalty ethnic guy, the Uncle Tanus. And as

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I said in the last hour, Uncle Tanous was a

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>character on the old Danny Thomas Show. And I think

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tanus is played by

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Hans Cunried, huge hook nose and so forth. The and

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>here's here's Matthews describing. Let's let's be honest about this, folks.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's just put it out there. When you say somebody

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>is a smalty ethnic guy, you're not talking about an Arab,

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about a Jew. You describe somebody as a

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>schmaltzy ethnic guy who is uh pulse nasal drip with

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>his voice lachrymose and so forth. Uncle to nous in

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>character was a Lebanese Arab, Danny Thomas was a Christian

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Lebanese uh and and uncle to Noose therefore, But isn't

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.639
<v Speaker 1>it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>as a as as a Jew on the on the

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>basis of appearance, Uh, schmaltzy ethnic guy, which I you know,

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>there are some people saying this, but they're dancing around it.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>But one of the little are not often discussed aspects

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Kuk fringe base of the Democratic Party. I'm

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>just gonna put it out there, is its anti semitism.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>There is so much anti semitism today in the Democratic Party. Uh,

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>it is, it is. I don't think it's an accident

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>that Sharpton and the Reverend docs are up there standing

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>behind Lamont during lamonts and but what's calm about Lamont?

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>When I listened to these Lamont remarks from his acceptance

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>speech last night, I hear somebody assist a couple of

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>octaves and a couple of decibel levels before below Howard Dean. Uh. Yeah,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the only is missing is the scream. It is calm

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>uh waspy fellow, very calm, casual, very St. Paul in

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a prep school sense. That's a way to relate to

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>most of America. Chris St. Paul, What the hell? St. Paul?

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>It was a person. St. Paul wants it's a prep school. Well,

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>how many Americans actually go to prep school, particularly in

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the Northeast. That's this little bit, little bit of a

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of a sidebar. Sort of fascinating, isn't it that In

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the two thousand presidential campaign, nobody at MSNBC, Chris Matthews,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>nobody else described Senator Lieberman as uncle to Noose, as

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a Schmalsey ethnic guy. Isn't it amazing? So you go

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>from uncle to Noose to Uncle Tom in six years

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>in the Democratic Party. Welcome back, folks, to eight to

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>l rush Ball on a roll mark in Bethesda, Maryland,

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>your next, sir, Nice to have you with us. Good afternoon, Russia.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I am a speck of red in a sea of blue,

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>um Jewish Republican here, and I want to thank you

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>for your for your continuing support of Israel. Thank you, sir,

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. I think it's it's scary for all of

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>my Democratic friends here that just don't get it, especially

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>with this Lieberman um result yesterday. The party has been

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>taken over. Their party has been taken over by people

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that are anti Israel, as in Cindy Sheehan and Sorrows,

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>who happens to be a self hating Jew, they hey,

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it Israel, they hate Jews, their terrorism deniers. And I

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>just I just hope it's a wake up called to

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the Jewish people that are out there. Is that still

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the best party for them? Yeah, doubt that that's going

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to happen. It's going to take a little bit more

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>than this. The the the the seat of this anti

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Semitism right now is focused in Kok's Uh like she

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Han and Uh and and the blogs and the move

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>on dot org people in Soros. And I'll tell you

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>if you if you read letters to the editor from newspapers,

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>which I do, and this is part of the show.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I love reading letters to the editor. Have you ever

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>written letters to the editor New York Times, you may

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>as well be reading one of these cook blogs. And

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and many of these people that write these letters are

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>apparently Jewish, and they echo the same sentiments that that

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the she hands echo and say, okay, what is it

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that's the unifying force here? And it's hatred for Bush.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>And it's not hatred for Arabs. It's not hatred for

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Amadinazad or they has. It's hatred for Bush. It's uh,

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's gonna you know, it's I could

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>say the same thing about the black population this country.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>When are they gonna wake up and understand the party

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>they've been supporting does nothing but take them for granted

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and doesn't offer them any real solution. It just uses them.

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh it. I just don't see it happening. I think

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the most uh covered up aspects of

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what's happening to the Democratic Party is how anti Semitic

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 1>uh and anti Israel uh, the the apparent movers and

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>shakers and that party are. And Lieberman's a living testament

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to it. I mean, let's be honest. Let me ask you, Mark,

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you you you you said your Republican Jew.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>How much do you think Lieberman owes his defeat to

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's just Jewish at this point in time?

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. With with the with the way that

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>party is being being taken over, probably some because remember

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the last summer. What Cindy she hadn't said about Israel,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>so probably some of it. Uh what did she say?

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I've refreshed my memoir. It's a here's the quote. You

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and you'll stop the terrorists. So again, blame America, blame Israel. Yeah, exactly, Okay,

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's uh, that's true. Well in fact, uh, speaking

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of blame America, blame Israel, let me give you a

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>little thanks. Thanks Mark for the for the phone call.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. There's a guy named Lawrence Right who

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>is a staff writer for New Yorker, the New Yorker magazine.

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>He's got a new book out and the book is

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>called The Looming Tower, which he calls quote a bid

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to understand and explain the rise of Islamic extremism, and

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in an interview with Al Reuters the fake War photo

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>guys Um, Lawrence Wright explains that American authors and filmmakers

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't done enough to blame America for nine eleven. Here's

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a quote. I feel like it's been a great failure

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of our artists and our writers that we haven't done

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a better job at looking at ourselves and how we

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>are and how our own behavior to some extent, contributed

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to this tragedy. Our behavior, yep. According to Right, Americans

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>lost sight of our core values, especially the rule of

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>law and a code of decency. In other words, we

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>not the terrorists. We lack values, and we lack decency

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and respect for the rule of law. And oh yeah,

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the Islamic world perceives a pro Israel bias in our

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Middle East policies. So it's not just kooks like Cindy

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Sheehann and the others. Here's a New Yorker magazine. He

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>could very well be a cook, uh, blaming us for

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>our and our association with with Israel. He said, when

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Bin Laden attacked America, he was posing two questions to us.

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>One is what's America and what does it stand for?

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>The other is what is Islam and what does it

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>stand for. I'm not making this up. This guy's got

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a book out and it's all about how we're to

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>blame and our enough artists and writers blaming America doing articles, stories, movies,

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what have you blaming America? The only question, I mean,

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you rational person would ask or associate with the Bin

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Lawden was whether we had the resolve to wipe his

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>evil off the face of the earth, because he didn't

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>think that we have that resolve anymore after Mogadishu. Is

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>why he did this, because he thought he could get

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>away with it, and so he was under the impression

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>that we were cowardly, we wouldn't take casualties, and he

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>could get away with this. Now, these blue state Lamont

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>liberals don't have the will to do that. They don't

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>have the will to wipe evil off the face of

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the earth because they think we're it. They think we

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>are the evil. They blame us and Israel while doing

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>everything they can to understand terrorists. They don't even have

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the sense to know that we're at war. And if

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they admit that we're at war, they don't have the

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>sense to admit who the enemy he is because they

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>consider us their own country to be the enemy. So

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>when you when you say, what's it gonna take for

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>certain groups to wake up and uh and smell the coffee?

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I frankly, uh, you know they're they're they're the certain

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>people are liberals are liberals first. Others are what they

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>are first? Uh, And the common enemy that they've always

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>had is going to remain the common enemy. But I

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>just I don't think there's any question about the fact

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that that one of Lieberman's one of the one of

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the um should I say, one of the factors in

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>his defeat was the fact that he's just Jewish right now.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And you if you, if you, if you go to

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>these blogs, if you spend any time reading them and

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the move on dot orgs and so forth, you'll find

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>some some of the most anti Semitic stuff on the

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>face of the earth that you've ever read, and anti

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Israel stuff that you have ever read. Marvin and Detroit.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you called. Welcome to the E I B Network. Hello, Yeah,

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I Rush Mega Detroit, Tiger Dittos the beautiful blue state

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of Michigan. Thank you, sir, Hey Rush. I was just wondered,

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>what do you think, you know, if Lieberman does run

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>as an independent, what's the chances maybe a Republican sneaking

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>in there? And if if they do, when is the

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is a simple majority in the election? Yeah, but it

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>won't happen. Uh. The I think if Lieberman runs is

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>an independently, the Republicans might try to get a Republican

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in their two run just to uh, you know, cause problems.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Republicans could sneak in that that's

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>too blue at state that that that state is. Um.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't even I'm not sure it would

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 1>be competitive. And if if it were a Republican to

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>be a Lowell Wiker type, you may as well have

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat be I'd be a link Chafe type. Uh

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that would that would win in in Connecticut run Who

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>will run for the Republicans? Who will in Connecticut? I

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have no clue. I only know in uh now they

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 1>have had elected they they they've elected Republican governors. I

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>mean it's it's uh. I mean, it's not impossible. Nothing

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing is and you know it's it's still early. I mean,

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>as we know, things happen at a breakneck pace in politics,

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're always as most things in the future are unpredictable,

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>um and anything, anything could happen here. I don't want

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to lock myself into saying that no Republican could win.

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>The Republicans aren't gonna nominate anybody. I in fact, I think, um,

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the the thing you look at as far as Republicans

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>are concerned in Connecticut is how does this end up

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>helping Republican congressional incumbents holding like Chris Shays and UH

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 1>and Rob Simmons UH. This result no question boosts their

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 1>chance of holding on to their districts, and they're vulnerable

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>right now. According to polling data, the Democrats have to

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>win these two seats in Connecticut if they have any

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>chance of taking back the House. This result I think

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>helps these two Republicans hold onto their seats.
