Rush Limbaugh Live Thread Fed 20th, 2006

Well in prepration for the Dubai port deal all day every day Media storm approaching, here is what the Port story is about.

A DNC press release was sent out by Chucky Schumer for the Democrat Senate Election Committee. It is full of rumor, innuendo and guilt by association. A bunch of junk journalists picked up the story and with out checking a SINGLE fact printed the story. A bunch of meat head grandstanding Republicans Congress Critters on Kneepads, read the story and freaked out WITHOUT bothering to find out a single fact.

The Security Agencies, who did all the investigation and background checks were blown off or sneered at by the Democrats, their junk journalists propagandists and Republican Congress critter Media whores. Meanwhile the FACTS of the case are being ignored in order for everyone to gleefully parrot a DEMOCRAT Press release.

HERE is the logical diagram on this story. A company based in UAE is taking over port operations. UAE is an Arab Country. Arabs committed 9-11. Bush is turning Port Security over to the Terrorists! Not ONE fact or logically valid assumption is presented in any of these stories. The fact that the Port Operation company has NO security functions is either willfully or inadvertently left OUT of the story. Instead it is all basically a racist, guilty by accusation and rumor smear job. The people who ACTUALLY know the facts like DHS etc are being laughed at or ignored so supposedly "Conservatives" can gleefully push Democrat Election Campaign propaganda. Simply amazing how willfully ignorant some "Conservatives" are about how the Junk Journalists lie to them. Just like Flush the Koran, Rather Gate, Fitzmus, Downing Street Memo and dozens and dozens of other LIES manufactured by the DNC and fed to the Failed Media, THIS story is a LIE.

Sorry for the early ping but I am at work today and suprisingly all the co-workers with children are "out"
today. Gee I am sure the fact that it is a school holiday has NOTHING to do with their being gone today. :-)

Thanks for the thread, Johnnie. I think we should use this thread, and others, to put research facts about the port deal. Then we should e-mail those facts to our legislators and talk radio hosts.

I don't understand. You are saying they have no security ability at the ports? So what. Please explain why having the UAE in our American ports is not a threat to us.

Thats the problem with being Republican, we have so many polititions that are Republican in name only. This whole thing was started by people that have no idea how a port works. Most likely like most corporate changes this will involve only higher management types at the port itself.

I agree: the big media circus around the Dubai purchase of the British port management company is a lot of hot air. Chuck Schumer, whose party thinks the War on Terror is a distraction, is all of a sudden concerned about port security?? Are laws changed that will not allow inspections? Does this port operations company have a bad track record? Will hiring practices and contracts suddenly change? Was this deal in the works for months--or did the treasury department just suddenly approve it with no kind of oversight? Where was Chuck Schumer when other foreign nations were opting for port management contracts??

The hypocrisy is thick, and not just with Schumer. The Republican "leaders" are using this as a political football, too. If Lindsey Graham is so p-o'd about the deal, I want to know why he's waited so long to talk about legislation banning Middle Eastern nations from doing business here in the USA.

The bottom line is that some stocks and paperwork will change hands--and the operation of the ports will remain much the same. But to hear Schumer & Company rant, you would think we had turned over the management of the ports to Osama bin Laden himself.

AL GORE MADE A SPEECH IN SAUDI ARABIA ACCUSING THE UNITED STATES OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES--INDISCRIMINATE ONES--AGAINST ARABS. THE BIN LADEN GROUP APPARENTLY HELPED FINANCE THIS GET-TOGETHER. YOU DON'T HEAR CHUCK SCHUMER TAKING A STAND AGAINST THIS!!

Instead, we get racist panic-mongering because an existing port management company based in Dubai wants to buy out a British port management company. Ridiculous.

A company based in UAE is taking over port operations.

Johnnie, it's not just based in Dubai. It's owned by Dubai.

I didn't know that they were being managed by the British either. We need lots more input on this story. I do hope Rush has some facts regarding this. Frankly, I don't believe Hillary and her cronies but I'm also leary of this deal going under the radar. Shine some light Rush.

Easy for you to say all this from Minnesotta. The contract was held by the a British company which was recently sold to a Dubai company. I don't care WHAT they are responsible for, who they hire, etc. I don't want an Arab nation responsible for the Ports which SURROUND me. I saw the WTC on 9/11. Call me a racist if you like, and El Rushbo can do the same from Floriduh, but first tell me how you classify the Islamofacists who will miss no opportunity to kill us all. And if you can't see the unity of the Muslim world in their hatred of the west, if the recent cartoon jihad hasn't convinced you that the vast majority of Muslims are either not moderates, or too frightened to rely on, if you cannot see that it is the ELITES in the Umma (or whatever they call it) who provide the ability for the "radicals" to continue to murder then you are just willfully blind.

With this being a holiday, will Rush be in the Attila the Hun chair today?

If not, I'll turn on the SIRIUS and let Tammy Bruce entertain me.

Rush's guest hosts are ok....but I guess I'm in one of those moods.......

Peace to Freeper Nation. :)

He said last week he'd be on today. He got some memo from his staff that he was laughing about with regard to today. But, listen live isn't coming up on his website, so maybe he was wrong.
