[I missed Rush today - what did he say about Israel that got Lurch so riled up? I'd be amazed if Limbaugh said anything deraugatory about Israel - he's been a backer of the good guys over there for quite a while.]



John F'n. Kerry was snooty because Rush ripped on the Democrats over the issue of Israel. His premise is that liberals are doing a disservice to Israel (and to peace) by insisting that they perpetually restrain themselves in the face of constant terrorist attacks. He didn't rip on Israel itself.

Thanks for finally putting up what it was that Rush said that made Lurch's bolts stand out.

I didn't think it very likely at all that Rush would round on the Izzies, considering especially that Iran started all this crap and that Hisbollah had been assiduously trying for days, weeks, to get the Izzies to swing hard, by constantly rocketing the daylights out of those northern Israeli towns.

This is all about Bush and Blair's having put the Iranian mullahs' testicles in a tourniquet over their drive to get the Bomb. This is the Iranians' way of changing the subject out in the "Arab street". They pulled this with Hamas and the "second intifada" when Oslo was happening, too. Iran has big swing with both Hamas and Hisbollah -- Hisbollah is practically an extension of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Wasn't Rush mostly quoting Thomas Sowell in this argument? That's a Ph.D. who can explain history better than John Kerry can explain his trip to Cambodia.
