RUSH: Ill tell you what else lets do. Lets not stop at Robert E. Lee statues. Lets ban Gone With the Wind. Lets ban the book, and lets make sure the movie can no longer be purchased, rented, or exhibited anywhere. We will get rid of not just Robert E. Lee. Well tear down anything that tells anybody where Gettysburg is and what happened there. (interruption) Well, now wait. No, Gettysburg will stand.
Gettysburg will stand cause thats where they had their lunch handed to them, so Gettysburg will stand. But well go all the way back to Lincoln. Well take Lincolns name off of Mount Rushmore and well put Trump up there. (Im only kidding.) But, I mean, lets do this. Lets get rid of all of these outdoor signs of the nations injustice and unfairness. Get rid of everything so that American slavery is never known to have existed in any way. All monuments, all battlefields, all reenactments will be erased. (interruption) Oh, yes. (interruption) Well, nope, nope, nope. (interruption)
No. No, well get to the Native Americans, cause we (interruption) No, no, no. Dont get ahead of me here. The Native Americans are not in the protest here. The Native Americans are not on the march here. When they get in gear, then, yeah, well deal with them. But what we will do, is we will get rid of every outward sign of American evil, as defined by the left. I mean, if there is a restaurant with a Confederate flag logo, we close it.
We shut down any restaurant that serves chicken fried steak, that serves biscuits and gravy. I mean, anything that can be traced back to that evil heritage of the Confederacy. Get rid of all of it! That would make everybody shut up, right? That would just silence everybody about the inherent evil of the United States related to slavery. Make it disappear, and then everything would be okay, right? (sarcastic laugh) Ha-ha-ha-ha. I hope you get the point here.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, folks, theres all kinds of things, there are all kinds of things out there in addition to this story, and I do want to get to some of them today rather than be totally devoted to this, because this storys not gonna go away, either. No matter what Trump said today, this is just the latest, most recent story that propels the Get Rid of Trump effort, and this will the replace the Russian story and the Mueller investigation for a while and perhaps a big while, cause this You know, identity politics? This is it. This is what the Democrat Partys become, this is how they hope to win again and triumph. So this is gonna be milked for all its worth.
Nathan in Lynchburg, Virginia, as we head back to the phones. Great to have you, sir. How are you doing?
CALLER: Good. How you doing, Rush?
RUSH: Very, very well. Thank you.
CALLER: Hey, Im listening through WLNI, 105.9 here in Lynchburg. Charlottesville is 45 minutes north of me, and I want to answer your question. The mayor and the city council, theyre the ones responsible. The same thing happened when the Ku Klux Klan came in Charlottesville to protest
RUSH: Hang on a second. Responding for having the cops sand down? Is that what you mean?
CALLER: Theyre responsible for Heather Heyer dying. Theyre responsible for this whole mess. Three weeks ago, the same thing happened. Three weeks ago, a month ago, the same thing happened. They got a legitimate right to protest. They went up there, the Ku Klux Klan, and they protested but that time they had the cops en masse and in force, and this stopped them. Violence still happened. But it wasnt nearly as bad as this. But this time around? They didnt do anything about it, they sat by. Tear gas start coming; they abandoned their little post, the state police did, they abandoned where the safe zone was, and they just got out of the way of this mess. At the end of the day
RUSH: Okay, wait a minute. Why?
CALLER: I dont know. I think maybe if the FBI did their job and investigated some of the bank accounts of the mayor and the city council members, they might find out why. Thats just my opinion.
RUSH: So you think people were paid off to have the cops stand down? Your theory being that somebody wanted this to happen.
CALLER: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Its a very liberal city. Charlottesville is one of the most liberal cities besides Richmond here in Virginia, and Virginias a battleground state for these monuments being torn down and taken down. As far as thats concerned, if youre gonna eradicate history, then civil rights movement never happened and therefore every Martin Luther King Jr. beloved that ever existed out there needs to go away as well, and lets just like you said get rid of all of this.
RUSH: Well, I thought people might misunderstand that. (laughing) When I said, Get rid of Gone With the Wind and get rid of the statues, I was (laughing) Youre, of course, right. If we did that, we would have to eliminate all of the things attached to it, and I was being facetious. Nobody will support it, even though thats why theyre protesting! That was my point to try to illustrate. Ill explain further.

RUSH: That last caller was very quick on the uptake there. Okay, Mr. Snerdley is afraid that if I dont explain this, the Drive-Bys will think that I was advocating that we scrub all African-Americans from American history, which is of course not my point. My point was to illustrate that what the people are protesting for, they would oppose if they got it. They want to take down the Robert E. Lee statues, right? Why? Because its a symbol of our horrid, racist, unfair, unequal, despicable past.
Well, if thats true, why stop there? I ask. I mean, theres a lot more. Robert E. Lee was not the only one of them. Theres all kind of Beauregards down there and any number of guys that have statues that have remembrances and that have been honored as great military people. Even though they were fighting for the Confederacy, they have been honored as brilliant strategists or what have you. They were dedicated to their cause. Gone With the Wind is a book and a movie that is practically a (sigh) Whats the correct word to use here?
Its a remembrance of the time weve lost. It was a romantic treatment of that era leading to the Souths defeat. Gotta get rid of it. Those people were humanized. Why, those Confederate soldiers, they liked women and they proposed to them! They treated em with chivalry. They went dancing with em and they had dinner with em. You know, and they said, Yes, maam, all kinds of polite things. You cant have that portrayed. These people were savages. Gotta get rid of any reminder whatsoever of this horrid aspect in our past.
Thats what theyre advocating here, are they not? Well, if you did that, there wouldnt be a single Martin Luther King Boulevard in this country. There wouldnt be a Martin Luther King, if youre gonna eliminate that aspect of American history. And who would be the first to object if, in the process ? If you dont stop getting rid of the Robert E. Lee statue but you keep going, the very people demanding to get rid of the Robert E. Lee statues would be the same people standing there saying, Whoa, you cant do that! You cant get of Martin Luther King?
Well, we gotta get rid of Robert E. Lee. I mean, who came first here in and if you get rid of the guy that came first then anything that came after him didnt exist, either. We gotta scrub it all. You cant! You cant. The point is that, once again, the supposed highbrow the supposed sophisticated, refined motivations for all of the anger and violence and hatred on the left will not hold up to intellectual scrutiny. Because if you take it to its logical conclusion, at some point in that timeline theyre gonna protest what youre doing.
Yeah, well get rid of Robert E. Lee. But then if we start going further, at some point theyre gonna draw the line and they wont permit it. Because there are certain aspects of this history that they cherish and they love, like Dr. King and any number of other associated heroes and heroines from that era. Thats the only point to illustrate that what theyre claiming to be angry about, they actually would oppose if you went all-in on this. Does that help them, Mr. Snerdley, do you think? Are they capable of understanding that?
I think it’s time to just kick the South out of the Union and be done with it.

The Left would have us ban the past...ban reality...ban the Truth.
I ended up ordering mine from a collector in Japan. It goes into the box of forbidden fruit that I'm going to leave for posterity, along with a copy of the Constitution.

Quit giving the Delusional Lying Left more ideas, Rush. Push back on their current agenda, don’t add more to it.
Great idea. Need legislation. Call it the "Tar Baby Bill."
Isn’t interesting that the Left champions racial interest, gender interest, welfare interest... but absolutely hates existing regional pride.

Thank GOD President Trump won the election.
Hillary Clinton would have continued the BULLYING AND EXTORTION against the non-politically correct people and institutions in the country that Obama did, all the while using taxpayer resources against THE PEOPLE who would not submit.
Frankly, My Dear....I do give a damn and sure as God, I will not eat dirt again!
Netflix had BOAN online.
May still have.
It’s only a matter time before the 1967 version of “The Jungle Book” is erased from existence because of the King Louie scene.
We’d also have to ban all statues of Washington and Jefferson and all public schools bearing their names.
Better yet, just ban the party of slavery & Jim Crow, ie, the Democrat party. They’re still trying to keep blacks on the plantation as they continue trying to enslave us all under godless socialism.
Which one? There were two. One 1915 the other 2016.............
