RUSH: Barack Hussein Obama, the Pharaoh of Chicago. Has a nice ring to it out there, doesn't it? Pharaoh of Chicago, telling us everything is cool. Hey, look, folks, if the industry of talk radio was responsible for Tucson, how about blaming Obama's Cairo speech for this? Yeah, have you seen, folks, the liberals, the Democrats, the media seem to be more embracing of the Muslim Brotherhood than the Tea Party movement. Have you noticed that? I have. And I'm gonna tell you something else. I don't care who you talk to and what they say. Right now nobody understands yet whether any of this is good or bad for the United States, and that's what's missing in all this, and that is, what's good for the United States and our interests in this, nobody knows. I don't care what expert you listen to, there's not a soul that can tell you. We could be looking at one of two things --
By the way, hi, Rush Limbaugh back. Thanks to Mark Steyn for sitting in on Friday and doing a wonderful job as always. We're happy to be back here in our Southern Command bunker, south Florida. Telephone number, 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.
There was an uprising in Iran in 2009. It didn't amount to much because the regime here didn't support it. You may have forgotten that. Just two years ago there was some average, ordinary citizens in Iran who wanted to get rid of the mullahs and wanted to get rid of Ahmadinejad, and the regime here didn't support it. A lot of people are hoping that's what this is. It is the Muslim Brotherhood, but what's really known about 'em? They claim they're for democracy and all that, but that could be a smoke screen. On the other hand, we have said from the get-go that if you wanted the second term of Jimmy Carter, elect Barack Obama, and here we are, and what happened in the first term of Jimmy Carter? We lost Iran to a bunch of radical Islamist extremists. Are we looking at the second term of Jimmy Carter here, losing Egypt to a bunch of radicalized Islamist extremists?
You can see when you scour various Drive-By State-Controlled Media sites, they're desperately invested in the fact that this is all good, get Mubarak out of there, we finally got democracy. The problem with that is, for them, that they have to somehow include George Bush in praise. It was George Bush who said if we go into Iraq with a democracy agenda, then the wildfire of freedom will spread to other areas. Well, if we're gonna say that this is the wildfire of freedom being spread, where did it start? You can't leave Bush out of this equation, which, of course, the media and the Democrats don't want to do. They want to find some way to credit Obama for this but Obama on Saturday night, Saturday night, Linda Douglass, that well known objective journalist who used to work at ABC and some other places and then she quit the media because she admitted she just couldn't get as much done. She went to work for the Obama regime. She was the health care legislation spokesbabe. In other words, Linda Douglass was responsible for spinning the lies of health care in the media. She quit that and went back to the media, working for I think it's the outfit Atlantic Media, Atlantic Monthly and so forth. So Saturday night, in the midst of all of this, Linda Douglass hosts a party at her house for administration officials and certain elements of the State-Controlled Media.
F. Chuck Todd was there from NBC/Comcast. We had Jake Tapper there from ABC. We had a couple other media people. We had high administration, high regime officials. And the whole point was a going-away party for David Axelrod who Obama saw the next day. Axelrod is just leaving the regime's White House offices to head back to the Chicago offices of Pharaoh Obama and his reelection bid. But yet he goes to this going-away party as though, "Hey, Dave, been great to know you, hope we see you down the line. See you next Tuesday, Dave," wink wink. I want you to imagine something. Imagine that Karl Rove had decided to leave the White House, and I threw a bye-bye bash for him in my house that Bush 43 attended while something like this was going on in Egypt. Do you think you woulda heard about that party the moment it was taking place? Yeah. And do you think any media people would have been invited? No. But it's fascinating here, folks, all these experts, and nobody really knows -- you've got Biden misspeaking, and you've got Andrea Mitchell admitting that the typical Joe Biden misspeak, just what we here in the regime have to deal with. Old Joe, "Hey, Chuck, stand up, man, oh, oh, God love ya, Chuck's in a wheelchair and can't stand up and he even told me that but I forgot. Oh, let's all stand up for Chuck." Meanwhile, Chuck is saying, "Please, can everybody stop paying attention to me, I'm in a wheelchair."
So there's an element of this, ladies and gentlemen, that I want to introduce -- well, I'm not the one introducing it. I'm gonna pass it on to you because I don't think that very many people are talking about it. The media would have had a cow if the White House was having a party while the Middle East was in flames. I don't care if it was Egypt, Iran, Afghanistan, if 43 had gone to any kind of a party on a Saturday night when Egypt was in flames, ha! Instead this media was running around pulling its hair out wondering how the hell it didn't get invited. What's so special about F. Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper? How come they got invited and we didn't? BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Frankly, you know... (sigh) I've taken all this in. I've listened to as many people as possible. I've read as much, and I'm stunned by all the people who seem to have a full understanding of what's going on, because, frankly, folks, I don't. To be honest, we have no idea what is behind this movement. We have no idea who is leading it. This Muslim Brotherhood bunch? To get behind this group fully without knowing this seems irresponsible to me and yet there are a lot of people all over the political spectrum who want to just embrace this opposition to Mubarak. Obama, we're gonna be go back and listen to some of his Cairo speech. Obama has embraced this bunch, by the way. Obama has embraced them.
"The Obama administration has aligned itself with Egypt for calls for orderly transition." Orderly transition? What if this bunch turns out to be led by Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or what have you? It's the Muslim Brotherhood. For crying out loud, Obama "embraces," "aligns itself with protests in Egypt"? Uhhhh. That really caught me, because we don't know who or what is behind this movement. We do know Obama has been focused on changing America. We do know that Obama has spent his time abroad apologizing for our past and he's been lauded for doing this by our media, the left, the likes of Colin Powell.
If he were a traditional American president, Obama would have been using our authority -- our moral authority -- and experience to ensure our best interests remain intact. That's what US foreign policy is all about. Now, we lost Iran because of another apologist, Jimmy Carter. An incompetent. If we are universally for human rights in every country (as Obama said in his short, contradictory public statement last week), why did he treat the leader of Red China like some kind of great democrat here? Why did he praise him? This guy is holding the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Winner in jail, for crying out loud, and Obama embraces this! Yet Obama says he's all about human rights all over the world. Lots of contradictions here. BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, it might be a good thing that Obama, Pharaoh Obama does not know what US interests are in this Egyptian situation, otherwise he would do the opposite. Maybe I shouldn't tip him off, either. I can hear the conversation now: "Limbaugh says we shouldn't support the uprising. Well, that's good enough for me! Send over the helicopters with the bags of money to shower on the protesters." (laughing) By the way, I just saw that the State Department, a bunch of people are moving heavy equipment in there and choppers and aircraft to get Americans out of Egypt. Why? "Obama Administration Aligns Itself with Protests in Egypt," called for orderly transition. A struggle to get ahead of the situation.
Well, if we support what's going on over there, a big peaceful this and that, why the hell get our people out of there? Seems a little contradictory to me. We lost Iran. We lost Iran this exact same way, folks. That was Jimmy Carter, and we've got Jimmy Carter 2 in there now. Obama... I want to repeat this. He runs around saying. Universally. we're for human rights in every country -- and then a very contradictory public statement last week. Why, then, does Obama treat the ChiCom leader like some kind of great democratic hero? Why did he praise Hu Jintao? Why didn't Obama insist on democratic rights for the Chinese? Why didn't he do the same with Russia?
Here you have the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner throwing a party -- a big state dinner, the highest honor we can bestow socially -- to the guy who hollows the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Winner in jail, in China. It seems a bit contradictory. Now, right now, folks, terrorists do not have a seat at the table of power, the table of government in Egypt. If Mubarak goes, the fact is that they're likely to have a seat. By the way, we're being told that in exchange for Mubarak we need Mohammed ElBaradei. Now, there's a good friend! Here's Mohammed ElBaradei who did his best to tell the world, "The Iranians aren't up to anything. There aren't any nukes being developed in Iran." He was a little more circumspect about it than that.
But, ladies and gentlemen, there are a number of things here to be somewhat concerned about. Egypt is an ally. They have been for a while. And if this goes the wrong way, you're gonna have, if Mubarak goes down, you're gonna have terrorists (Muslim Brotherhood) likely to have a seat at the Egyptian table of government, if not own the table. Now, if I'm wrong, then it's likely the military will essentially take over the country, but that's not democracy, either. Have you been struck by the fact that the Drive-Bys, the supporters the regime -- even some commentators on our side -- love to talk about this as a "democratic uprising." Muslim Brotherhood equals democratic uprising! Anybody see a conflict? But if it is a democrat uprising, then wasn't Iraq worth it?
Doesn't George W. Bush deserve some credit here? That was the essence of George W. Bush's foreign policy, particularly in his second term. He said, "The natural yearning of the human spirit is freedom. One of the things we're trying to do in Iraq is allow free elections, self-determination, self-rule, self-government -- and once the Middle East sees that, it will start a chain reaction." Okay. Everybody pooh-poohed that. "Well, that's not what we're supposed to be about, building democratization. Freedom isn't for everybody. Who does Bush think he is? It's not worth the loss of American lives."
You remember the drill, Cindy Sheehan and all these people running around. Now all of these people trying to pooh-pooh what Bush is doing, "Oh, yeah, we got a democratic uprising! Muslim Brotherhood, democratic uprising! Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize Winner!" Yeah, don't go to China. He might end up in jail, ElBaradei. Well, not him. He's in league with the ChiComs. At any rate, there's so much contradictory here, and there's so much hope. The Drive-Bys have so much hope -- and, by the way, this is (Look at me!) a great teaching moment for liberals, including those of you in the media, the Democrat Party.
What you see in Egypt right now is uncivil. This is what it looks like. Looting, rioting, assaulting. Now, I want you to compare what's happening in Egypt to Tea Party rallies, which are democracy in action. Whatever's going on in Egypt, it's premature to say "democracy in action" is what we see. What we are seeing is incivility. Make a note. Looting, rioting, assaulting. The Tea Parties are civil. Democracy us in action, seeking legitimate constitutional outcomes. And yet, and yet some liberals seem more embracing of the Muslim Brotherhood than the Tea Party movement. Have you noticed that? It's fascinating to watch here.
Amazing. I was listening to Rush today and it is so sickening how they are embracing the Muslim Brotherhood and their treatment of fellow American Tea Partiers. I never would have thought I’d have lived to see such a thing in America. So sad.
Sad it is.
I never thought I would live to see a day when we would have a president that is worse than Jimmy Carter.
But then along came Obama. Voila!
Q.E.D.
I wonder if Obama is privy to the negotiations to divy up Israel.
Carter and Obama are not making “mistakes”, from their persepective.
These are deliberate policy objectives.
They both despise Israel.
They are both flaming Leftists.
From our perspective, these are mistakes, because they put us in danger.
But among the Left’s loony positions is the reduction of the human population to 250 million, about 20 times less than it is now.
Starvation and sickness, due to lack of fuel for transportation, air conditioning and heating, is all part of their vision.
If Isreal is pushed into unloading a few nukes it should be able to reach their goals.
There, that's better.

So true, tell it Rush!
Mike Church played this reminder this morning....

It is amazing how some of the talking heads celebrate what’s going on over there...yet they said the Tea Party wasn’t fit for family TV.
He is going for the shovel ready Obama Pyramid. A new project to stimulate the Egyptian economy. It will be the Greatest Pyramid.
Is it still considered a mistake if done intentionally?
Awww hell....
Thought Egypt would be all peace n love by now since the Boy King had such an eloquent speech there in early 2009.
"Now that the riots in Egypt are in full view of the world, the Obama Administration is playing the same game as Jimmy Carter, which will in all probability end with the same result. Many people are saying that it is too early to tell, but I can tell you that it will not be long before the American Administration allows the Egyptian government to fall and the same scenario of Iran of 1979 will be repeated with meticulous precision. The Islamists have put up a front puppet who happens to be an egotistical technocrat, who spent most of his life outside of Egypt as a prop. Im talking of course about Mohamed El Baradei, who is the nemesis of Americans and who dragged his feet regarding the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Just as the Iranians put up a prop in Abdulhassan Banisadr, the first President after the Shah, the Egyptians will put up Mohamed El Baradei, and once an election is called, the Islamists will win the day and all these freedom-loving, democracy-seeking secular moderates will be used as fodder for the Islamists fire. The takeover of the country and union with Hamas and enmity to Israel will take place in earnest. The problem with freedom and democracy in the Muslim world is that it is a figment of the imagination that only exists in the minds of Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. May God have mercy."

I love that brother. I hear him on the Christian radio from time to time.
And he is absolutely, 100% correct.
In my own personal fantasy, we offer to swap our Mohammedans for their Coptic Christians. You know, we send the Mohammedans back to Egypt and give the Egyptian Coptic Christians asylum here.
Meanwhile, we give Israel the green light to use whatever weapons she has at her disposal to preserve her existence.
Yes, it’s only a fantasy.
