RUSH: I want to take you back to something that I did September the 13th, maybe it was September 20th. It was in September that I posited a theory, ladies and gentlemen. I asked you a question: Who is the most important undecided group in this year's election? Can you guess? They could control the outcome of the election! They could create a landslide for the left or the right. Who are they? Who is this group? What's this group, the most important undecided group in this year's election? It's too important an answer to leave it up to you just to guess. I will tell you, because that is my job. It's my duty. It's my sacred trust. The most important and undecided voting bloc in this year's election is...
Actually, I wonder if I should ask you to guess.
No. The most important and undecided voting bloc in this year's election is...
I wonder how many of you people know the answer to this already. You don't have it in there, do you? You're sitting in there; I can see your brain working trying to figure it out. The key voters (enough teasing here, folks) in this year's election are...
The terrorists. The Islamofascists. The jihadists.
What will Al-Qaeda do to influence the election? What will Iran's leader Ahmadinejad do? By the way, he just said on state television in Iran that Israel is illegitimate and doesn't deserve to exist. Let's keep negotiating, shall we, like we are negotiating with everybody else.
Come on, folks! I'm not making this up, and I'm not exaggerating. Al-Qaeda, the Islamofascists, the jihadists, they have an interest in the outcome, a life-or-death interest -- or death-or-death interest, however you want to characterize it. Who do you suppose they're rooting for? Who do you think bin Laden and Ahmadinejad want? Let's even throw in Hugo Chavez. Who do you think they're rooting for? Well, remember, they're not undecided. This group is not undecided, ladies and gentlemen. They have their minds firmly made. What could be the best outcome for them? Cut-and-run, right? Whose strategy, whose policy amounts to cut-and-run? Democrats!
Maybe because they don't approve of war. They're anxiety to redeploy; they're easily duped into negotiating. They prefer to talk rather than act. Maybe, though, let's consider the possibility terrorists vote Republicans. After all, the liberal argument is that Republicans are "creating" a whole new generation of terrorists. Liberal politicians all over Arab TV, all over American TV saying America can't win the war. If that's the case, the terrorists should want Republicans to hold the House and the Senate so we can keep losing the war, and keep creating a whole new generation of terrorists! You see, this could go either way.
How are the terrorists going to decide what to do? It's not so easy. It looks at first like they would automatically support the Democrats, because the Democrats would get out of the world and basically turn over the rest of the world to the terrorists. But, the liberals tell us that it is Bush that's "creating all these terrorists." If you're a terrorist, wouldn't you like a bigger and bigger and bigger family of thugs and murderers willing to die for your cause? So it's a tough thing. The undecided, which way will they go? Which way will the terrorists vote? More attacks, or a time-out? More threats, or fake peace overtures?
So we have two questions. Who are they rooting for, and what will they do about it? Sadly I haven't seen the latest Zogby poll that has polled the terrorists or the jihadists or Al-Qaeda on their preference. There is no Ali Abdullah Morris. There is no Yasser Pew, and there is no Ali Zogby or Hakeem Rasmussen that I have seen. We won't know until they vote. But, ladies and gentlemen, the reason I repeat this for you from September is because of this sound bite. I've put together a montage of NBC's Richard Engel and CNN's Barbara Starr reporting on the Iraqi insurgents and the November elections.
STARR: The insurgents are looking at the midterm elections here in the United States as a target of opportunity, trying to raise the level of violence in order to affect those midterm elections.
ENGEL: They believe insurgents are intensifying attacks against American soldiers now in an attempt to influence November's midterm elections.
RUSH: Question answered, ladies and gentlemen! It's no more a question of will the terrorists decide to vote Republican or Democrat in this election, and here are our sources from the horse's mouths: Barbara Starr and Richard Engel, NBC and CNN. The insurgents have made up their minds, and they are voting. They are trying to create as much havoc as possible, raise the level of violence in order to affect the midterm elections. It sounds to me like they're voting Democrat.
It sounds like the terrorists around the world and particularly those in Iraq are voting Democrat today because they think an increased level of violence and death will cause you (I'm not talking about you Cut-and-Run Conservatives because you're not voting, but -- those of you who are going to vote, to vote against the Republicans because you're going to blame the Republicans for the increased insurgency and death and destruction in Iraq. So it's obvious now what they want and we not longer have to guess. The Drive-By Media has told us: the terrorists have voted Democrat.
The early voting has begun. They're voting Democrat, plain as day.
END TRANSCRIPT
this is by far the stupidest thing i have ever read. please please folks we have to engage on issues seriously, not this ridiculous fantasy that "the terrorists want rats to win the election, so vote for us." we look stupid pushing this idea, and this is not the way to convince voters on the fence! let's talk about our results and our plans.
You obviously missed the "illustrating absurdity by being absurd" angle. It is plain that the terrorists want the Democrats to win and you missed the point about Republicans.
