September 21, 2015
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay, so what is the daily media soap opera today? What is everybody talking about today? No, what everybody's talking about -- and this is designed to create -- (interruption) Not the pope yet. (interruption) No, it's not the Ben Carson Muslim story, and it's not the Donald Trump "what he should have said" story. It's none of that.
The story, the Drive-By Media story, the daily soap opera script, today is, quote, "Once again, Republicans show their bigotry," unquote. That's what all of this is meant to be. They're not talking about what Ben Carson said. If they talked about what Ben Carson said, they'd be debating it from both sides, and they would be explaining and asking, "Maybe, when we think about presidents, do we want a believer in Sharia law elected president?" They'd be discussing it seriously and intellectually. They're not.
They're talking about what a neophyte, inexperienced bigot Ben Carson is, and since he's a Republican, that's what Republicans are. And the same thing with Trump. That's why everybody's gotta stop falling for this stuff and discussing it on the premise or on the terms the left presents. But that's all anybody's doing, and so as far as the daily consumers of news is concerned, what's on display again is Republicans defending themselves against charges of bigotry. Pure and simple.
And in the midst of that, what's not being discussed? Obama! What's not being discussed -- and it's a Republican presidential campaign -- is the damage American liberalism and the Democrat Party continues to inflict on this country. We're back now to Republicans are bigots. Next week Republicans are gonna be back to the War on Women, by the time the pope gets here or whatever. And this is how it goes day to day to day, week to week to week. And the Republicans have got to stop falling for this.
It's as though they accept the premise because they think that the people are gonna believe these charges, therefore they need to take the time to defend themselves. And once you start doing that, once you accept the premise of this stuff, it's tough.
