Rush: Ever see Republicans fight Democrats the way they fight Palin, Christine O'Donnell or Angle?
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | Monday September 13, 2010 | rushlimbaugh

RUSH: Okay, so The Chicago Boyz blog explaining that it's the threat to status, status anxiety that causes elitists of all ideological stripes to oppose people like Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, any number of them. Then there's a Le•gal In•sur•rec•tion blog with a poster named Bill Jacobson who's associate clinical professor of law at Cornell who goes even further. He says: "The 'nuts and sluts' defense is a common employment law tactic whenever a female employee brings a claim. It doesn't matter what the claim is, the defense -- after the usual legal mumbo jumbo -- will be something like this: 'She's nuts. And by the way, pssst, she may be a slut.' That is the mode of attack Democrats use against conservative women.

Sarah Palin is the prime example, as she routinely is called crazy and is sexualized by the left." Yeah, Nikki Haley in South Carolina, she's a slut. She's loose. Now stick with me on this because this is how the left always goes out and attacks conservative women and some elite conservatives in the blogosphere and the Republican Party do the same thing. Yet guess who's always silent? The feminazis. The feminazis are never upset.

Now, Bill Clinton and Carville called Paula Jones trailer trash. Carville said: (imitating Carville) "You never know what you're gonna get when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park. ha-ha-ha-ha." It worked for Clinton. Used it on Lewinsky, too. "The nuts part of the attack is being used against Christine O'Donnell in Delaware by the local Republican establishment..." this is from the Le•gal In•sur•rec•tion blog, "...and also by two leading conservative magazines, The Weekly Standard and National Review.

If O'Donnell is so nuts," the blogger asks, "why did the Delaware Republican Party nominate her to run against Joe Biden just two years ago? If O'Donnell wins tomorrow, you can be sure that the Democrats will seize on the nuts attack from Republicans, and take it to the next step by sexualizing O'Donnell (it already has started). By signing on to the nuts defense directed at conservative women, the Republican establishment has adopted the most pernicious line of Democratic Party attack."

One of the ways they talk about Castle is, "I am not 'anti-Mike Castle,' but I do have a problem with someone who was willing to destroy the economy by signing on to Nancy Pelosi's cap-and-trade plan." There are people attacking Castle that way, but the point is they're doing it on his issues; they're doing it on his ideas. Nobody is out there calling him names. "The vigorous attacks on Castle have been focused almost exclusively on his record and policy prescriptions.

Almost none of the attacks on O'Donnell focus on her policies or political agenda," which, if you've been paying attention, is true. Not one attack on Christine O'Donnell because of what she believes.

No, she sued a think tank, got the IRS after her, other personal attacks they're going after her with. That's why I keep saying I guess Mike Castle is clean and pure as the wind-driven snow; he doesn't have any baggage. There's not a person in the country that could run for office that doesn't have any baggage. So something of note here and it's going to be interesting to see if O'Donnell does win tomorrow, to look at the Republican establishment and see how they react to it. If they're being true to form now, they will not support her. They simply won't.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Washington Post today. In Delaware, GOP comes out swinging against Tea Party. The Delaware Republican Party chairman in this article essentially says, if you want a conservative committee chair, step back and allow Castle to become the next senator. If you -- in other words, the Republican chairman saying, we don't have a chance with this O'Donnell woman. You want a conservative in the Senate, go Castle. But he's not. He's not a conservative. That's the fault line.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I really find this fascinating. If you will indulge me here for just a mere moment, Washington Post: "In Del., GOP Comes Out Swinging Against Tea Party." And here's the Republican Party chairman of Delaware, Tom Ross: "Quite frankly, I don't know what the goal is here. If they really want to see conservatives as chairmen of committees in the United States Senate, they'd step back and allow Mike Castle to become the next United States senator." Now, what's amazing about this is I think it's a tremendous tribute to everyday people in this country that everybody running for office is trying to convince everybody else that they're the most conservative in the race. And yet the RINO moderates know full well what they have to do to win. They have to go out and sound conservative, talk about being conservative, when they aren't. We never see Republicans fight the Democrats the way they're fighting their own.

Have you ever seen the Republicans fight against the Democrats the way they're fighting against Palin, the way they fight against Christine O'Donnell or Sharron Angle? You don't.

No, I wish it were so. McCain v.Hayworth, Geraghty’s savage assault on O’Donnell, these kind of battles prove that RINOs are cunning, ferocious, ice-blooded killers: Demonrats on black-flag operations.

Mark Levin in response to Jim Demint praising Sarah Palin:

Amen!

Right, but the interview was actually almost over and DeMint made an extra effort to praise Sarah. I was rather taken aback. I plan to listen to the replay tonight.

I think Krauthhammer looks at this from the fact 70% are Democrates in that state....therefore at the runoff what chance does O’Donnell have...where as with Castle at least he has more of a chance obtaining some of the Democratic and Indipendant vote.

I’m sorry but some here have been attacking O’Donnell personally as well as Sarah, Nikki Haley and some what Angle...why is that? is it sexist? or is it much deeper?

You have to realize that many FReepers are not conservative. They may support RINOs and big government and come to FR to sow discontent and try to turn people's votes. Some are DU trolls, some are outright communists. There are more than a few who suffer from PDS and hate most conservative women.

As a male conservative I am only too willing, and happy, to wrest the helm from the men and let the gals steer. The latter certainly could do no worse and in all likelihood will surpass their male counterparts. Especially that wee lady up there in Wasilla.

From Hot Air:

Krauthammer: Palin’s and DeMint’s endorsements of O’Donnell are destructive, capricious, irresponsible

Video at the link, which I haven't watched yet.

Well tomorrow Sarah and Jim are on the opposite sides in NH.

Demint has been reading the tea leaves and it’s rather obvious Sarah has real political power.

On Kraut he has been wrong on the domestic front this whole admin. He doesn’t understand what happening on the ground with us.

On foreigner policy he is acceptable and I can take him or leave him.

Well, as your female counterpart, until Sarah Palin came long, I never thought I’d trust a woman politician in the role of POTUS/CIC, but now I most certainly want to help elect her. Furthermore, I would love to see Michele (one L) Bachmann her VP, but two women on the ticket is likely one woman too many for the electorate.

Conservatives threaten to upset decades of GOP power structure and reshape the RNC. The American people are the real, political enemy of the Republican establishment. Look at how McCain fought J.D. Hayworth compared to the way he helped Obamao win. His campaign people attacked Sarah Palin more than they did Obamao. Let the left criticize McCain, and he’ll be on with Chris Matthews doing a mea culpa. When conservatives are betrayed by him, he throws them the finger and plays his maverick game. It just goes to show that RINOs are scumbags who stand for nothing but their own careers and their membership in the liberal elite club. All RINOs are the same, all members of the Democrat lite society, all Washington first, and screw America.

My mind was open to the idea as long ago as Kirkpatrick Reagan’s UN Ambassador and of course Maggie.

The problem was the right one until now never showed up. Well it did with Gov. Sarah Palin.

I’m dying to hear your opinion. You already know mine.
Charles was dead wrong on Murkowski/Miller.
He might be reading this one wrong also.
He seems to like the incumbents.

Oh not me. I always wanted a very pretty POTUS.
Margaret Thatcher was perfect for the UK. She was Winston in a skirt.

Opinion as to who will win tomorrow? I honestly don't know...LOL. I know the establishment is in a fit about it and that tells me it will be close. O'Donnell has the enthusiasm on her side. I hope she wins.

America is in a fight for its life. The GOP grassroots knows it and yet to people like CK and others in DC, it's all about power and comfortable committee chairmanships. Screw 'em.

Someone over at C4P said that Mark Levin said that he thinks the establishment views this DE race as its Gettysburg. Hope the rebels win this one. :)

If O'Donnell & Ayotte win tomorrow, Palin will roll into Iowa Friday night flying high.

Oh yeah. Those posters are easy to spot. For cover, they profess to admire and support Michele Bachmann (righto) for president, while taking aim at Sarah at every opportunity.

Krauthammer is a brilliant man, and his opinions and analyses are worth listening to and evaluating, but it’s important to always remember that he is not on “our” side, nor the Constitution’s - he serves the Ruling Class:

“Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain. Given the frontier history and individualist ideology of the United States, however, this will not come easily. It certainly cannot be done radically. It will probably take one, maybe two generations. It might be 50 years before the United States gets to where Britain is today. Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic - purely symbolic - move in that direction. Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation.” - Charles Krauthammer, “Disarm the Citizenry,” The Washington Post, Friday, April 5, 1996, page A19
