RUSH: Let's go to San Jose, California. This, the Ingrid. All right.
CALLER: Hello, Rush.
RUSH: Hello, Ingrid. Hold on just a second and let me properly introduce you.
CALLER: (giggles)
RUSH: Folks, if you've not heard Ingrid from San Jose before, she and I have had our battles. (February 22, 2006)
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: We've gone at it tooth and nail. I mean, it's been fun; I've enjoyed it. I've always looked forward to your call, but I'm a little disappointed because it says up there that you agree with me. She's a big lib, proud to be so, is not offended when I call her that like some libs are. Well, they say, "No! I'm a progressive," or, "I'm a moderate," but you say you agree with me on this issue. I assume you mean immigration?
CALLER: Well, actually what upsets me about this whole thing, the illegals going out in the street to protest against US laws, and then at the same time they're flying their own country's flag. You know, it's like waving the red flag in front of a bull. It's just infuriates me -- and then we're catering to their language, ESL?
RUSH: Mmm-hmm.
CALLER: You know, English as a second language in elementary school, and teachers are being replaced with teachers who speak English and Spanish. DMV and voter pamphlets are in Spanish and Vietnamese, whatever -- and, you know, English has been a language of this land. When I came here legally, I would have never demanded that my children speak, you know, their mother's language. They speak English, and we speak English at home. We acclimated to this country. But I see it all around me. I see people flying their Mexican flag on their cars, on their license plates.
RUSH: Yeah, I've seen that, too. Ingrid --
CALLER: And, you know what?
RUSH: What?
CALLER: Also, I think this country is becoming Balkanized, because you have these little areas. I mean. they're totally Spanish. They're totally Chinese --
RUSH: This is scary.
CALLER: -- all over the country.
RUSH: This is scary.
CALLER: -- that's not good.
RUSH: This is very scary.
CALLER: It's not good.
RUSH: Ingrid, I think your liberalism here is undergoing a gut check. How does it feel?
CALLER: I am... I am... RUSH: No, no, no. Let me ask you a question. How does it feel to be a racist and a bigot?
CALLER: No, I don't think that's racist. Actually I think it's logic.
RUSH: No, I know, but I mean people who say what you have said are being accused --
CALLER: I don't care.
RUSH: -- of being racists and bigots.
CALLER: My motto has always been, "Live and let live," but what I see and these people come here and demand this and that and then fly their own flag, it pisses me off. Can I say that?
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: (giggles)
RUSH: Well, you just did. So...
CALLER: Yeah, I guess. I don't know.
RUSH: We're enjoying this so much, we didn't want to bleep anything out that you said.
CALLER: Yeah. I know when I came here, I had to have health checkups. I had to have blood tests
RUSH: I forgot , where are you from originally?
CALLER: I'm from Germany.
RUSH: That's right, Germany. You said that.
CALLER: And I had to fill out papers up to my neck, you know. Now TB in this area is resistant to multidrugs.
RUSH: You know, Ingrid, we're on a good meeting of the minds here and I don't want to put it at risk but I have to say something to you.
CALLER: What?
RUSH: Hear that? "What?" She's getting geared up for battle now. The reason that this is happening, the things that you described is largely because of the "tolerance" that liberalism has told us all we must have. "We must respect people's differences. We must understand their rage. We must understand their pain, and we must do everything we can not to offend them."
CALLER: Yes, I do all of that, and I'm sure you do that, too, if they come here legally.
RUSH: (softly) Oh my. (laughing)
CALLER: But you cannot come here illegally. Illegal means against the law -- and, you know what?
RUSH: Legal and illegal doesn't matter anymore. That's the point. Those are antiquated terms, legal and illegal. It's "undocumented." We can't do anything to humility these people, and that derives from the way liberals look at the disadvantaged, and they look at them as victims. So these people are just victims. So we have to look the other way when they tell us how mad they are. "They have a right to be mad, they're victims! They're victims of an oppressive US government, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
CALLER: You know what they're victims of? They're victims of these companies that hire these people; they're paying slave labor.
RUSH: I can't believe this.
CALLER: We need to go after these companies that hire these people because, you know what? These people live 12 to 24 people in one room. You know, an American cannot afford to do that, the job that they're doing, at those wages, because an American has to pay rent. They don't live, you know --
RUSH: Ingrid, I have to run here because the constraints of time but I have to tell you I've loved this. I have so appreciated this. I can't recall... I've reached you. Obviously this program has worked! You are not who you were. Don't get used to it; it may not last, but (sigh) I have reached you. It is so strange listening to somebody that -- and she's not shouting, she's not screaming! When she called here as a liberal before, she was insulting and mad and all this. Now look! She's very reasoned here in her analysis and so forth. This just proves that with patience, my objective of having every American agree with me is reachable.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Agreeing on one point is not a Conversion.
She is still a Socialist, just out of the closet "Elite Socialist"
TT
And who the hell IS Denny Crane, anyway??
now that's funny !
"What if you (this woman) had married a bank robber on the lam, and started a family?" That's what I would have asked her.
ML/NJ
I had almost the same thought. It's not our fault that she married a criminal.
"CALLER: My motto has always been, "Live and let live," but what I see and these people come here and demand this and that and then fly their own flag, it pisses me off. Can I say that?
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: (giggles)
RUSH: Well, you just did. So... "
Well - funny was not what I was aiming for. And, per your normal tagline, I prolly will be taking up golf soon.
But it is a step in the right direction. Additionally, once a chink has been found in the armor, then the lib will be more receptive, they will listen better, and soon, they may become a convert (as I did).
oh...at least you don't have to translate my tagline.
She's an imported lib. The home grown nut cases may be harder to reach.
But, I do not see golf in my future. There are other diversions.
Apparently she "agrees" with Rush that all the illegals in our workforce is a bad thing.
...because they're not being paid enough!
I'm surrounded by libs. I don't know one who wants this flood of people here.
And who the hell IS Denny Crane, anyway??
Are you trying to be funny, or just a run of the mill A-Hole? Besides, what business is it of yours?
How's this?....

Just got back from listening to Rush online...and I am a bit perturbed...so please excuse my ignorance...But Rush said something about the politicians being afraid because they didn't want to alienate the hispanic community because they will lose their votes...(talking about the big demonstation in LA this week)...
I always thought that you actually had to be a citizen of the US in order to vote in our elections...am I missing something...are these people voting in our elections even though they are not citizens?
Please anyone...could you explain this to me?
