Humorless CNN Claims I Defended Sterling
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | April 29, 2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 04/29/2014 12:17:50 PM PDT by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH:   I wasn't gonna mention this. Get up sound bite four.  I wasn't gonna mention this, but I've decided that I'm gonna mention this.  Let me replay 14 seconds of me from this program yesterday.  See if you remember this.

RUSH ARCHIVE: This is not news to anybody who has known of this guy.  This guy's a big Democrat.  The only reason he's in trouble right now is he did not give enough money to Obama.

RUSH:  That was your host -- your beloved, lovable, harmless fuzzball host, El Rushbo -- talking about Donald Sterling at the open of the program, making a joke.  The only reason that Donald Sterling's... He's given to Democrat causes left and right, and the NAALCP, but he must not have given enough to Obama. 

Well, over at CNN, they interpreted that to mean that I was defending Sterling!  How did they get there?  I don't know how they get there.  Erin Burnett played the sound bite and then went to Mr. Black Hole himself, Don Lemon (who sleeps with men, proudly) for comment, and this is what he said...

LEMON:  If we didn't know then that Rush Limbaugh is a Stunt King, then we know now, because there is no excuse for this behavior.  There's no excuse for anyone, uh, to try to make an excuse for someone like Donald Sterling.  Clearly he's just trying to get the attention.

RUSH:  They took a discussion of Sterling and turned it into my behavior, and there's no question they got this from Media Matters.  You know, it remains true: These people have no sense of humor, particularly when it comes to Obama.  They have no sense of humor whatsoever.  Everybody listening to this program knew I was making a joke (and a quite good one, by the way, if I say so myself) that if Sterling had just given a little bit more to Obama, everything would be okay. 

And they turn that into me (laughing) defending Sterling! 

This is the guy, Don Lemon, who was on TV while they were searching for the missing Malaysian Airliner. He had the former transportation whiz, Mary Schiavo, on and he said, "Hey, Mary, there have been a lot of theories. Maybe a black hole swallowed it up! I mean, I know it sounds strange, but what about it, Mar'?"

A black hole swallowed up Malaysian Flight 370! She had to sit there and treat that question seriously. You should have seen her face.  (interruption)  Well, you think that's why Don's...? You know, I've got a new title: The Stunt King.  You know, all I'm doing is seeking attention here.  Don Lemon and all the rest...

You have a story like Sterling and all these people go on TV and they try to outdo each other being the most offended, the most outraged, the most hurt, the most harmed, the most sensitive, the most in touch and so forth. I come along and say, "You know what?  This is nothing new, this guy; everybody in the know has known about Donald Sterling for years," and they turn that into I defend Sterling? 

Crackpots everywhere.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH:  Let me ask you a question.  How is accusing somebody of being a Democrat donor making excuses for them?  But that's what the convoluted thinking at CNN is.  So I make a joke, "Yeah, if Sterling had given more money to Obama he wouldn't be in trouble," and I become the Stunt King.  That makes my behavior outrageous, intolerable. We can't have that.  Maybe that's what these loons in the media actually think, that if you give to the Democrats, that it's a good excuse for your behavior.  They don't want to be called on it.  I don't understand it.

By the way, I just want you to hear this, in case you have forgotten.  This is Don Lemon, back on March 19th, 2014, CNN Special Report, breaking news.  Mystery of Flight 370.  Don Lemon speaking with former Department of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo about missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.  Maybe she pronounces it Schiavo.  I'm not sure how.  But you know who she is. She's really eminently qualified as an air transportation expert.  They're discussing the theories of the flight's disappearance and Don Lemon said...

LEMON:  What if it was something fully that we don't really understand.  A lot of people have been asking about that, about black holes and on and on and on and all of these conspiracy theories.  Of course it's also referencing the Twilight Zone, which has a very similar plot.  That's what people are saying.  I know it's preposterous, but is it preposterous, you think, Mary?

RUSH:  I know it's preposterous, Mary, but is it preposterous, Mary?  It's like a Twilight Zone plot.  You know, I once watched a Twilight Zone episode.  Let's see, what was it?  There was a guy sitting in the passenger compartment of an airliner, and he's looking out the window and there was some troll ripping the engine off the wing.  So he called the flight attendant over, said, "Look, look, look, look!  There's a troll out there ripping the engine off the airplane," and of course he was the only one who saw it. 

Maybe that's what Don Lemon was talking about.  Maybe there was somebody on the wing of the Malaysian 370 trying to tear one of the engines off, and asking Mary Schiavo could that be possible?  Could there have been somebody sitting on the wing trying to rip one of the engines off?  I saw it on The Twilight Zone, Mary.  If it's not that, what about a black hole, Mary?  That's preposterous, I know, but is it preposterous, Mary?  We're not gonna share with you her answer.  I mean, it was one of the most dumb moments on TV you've ever seen happen. 

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: It was William Shatner in that Twilight Zone episode. I love William Shatner.  I think William Shatner is one of the funniest people.  Did you see him on Boston Legal?  William Shatner is one of the funniest guys.  I appeared on his TV show. I was interviewed by him, and he's one of the most engaging, funny people. 

I even got invited to his house to watch Monday Night Football with his cronies.  I sat next to Jon Voight. He's got this giant 55-foot screen in his house.  I had to be in LA for some reason, and I got off the airplane and went over to Shatner's house.  You get out of the car and you have to walk up -- I mean, it's a heart attack to get up to his house.  You walk up this huge driveway.  He's a vegetarian and he had this Mediterranean food laid out.  You'd have loved it, Snerdley.  But I mean all kinds of people, and half of them are looking at me like "What the hell is he doing here?" and half of them were happy to see me.

I ended up sitting next to Jon Voight, and I'll tell you when it was.  It was the year that the Indianapolis Colts played the Bears, I think, in the Super Bowl in Miami.  It rained.  Jon Voight was talking to me about the game coming up. Or maybe it was too soon for the Super Bowl to know who was gonna be in the Super Bowl 'cause Monday night game, but I remember he tells me that I told him that Peyton Manning couldn't play in the rain and I don't remember saying that.  But he apparently bet against the Colts because I said Peyton Manning can't play in the rain and of course the Colts won in the rain, beat the Bears.  Funny story. 

Anyway, it was Shatner in that Twilight Zone episode. It was called nightmare at 20,000 feet, is what it was.  Yeah.  I'm sure that's what Don Lemon's thinking, that somebody is out on the wing of the Malaysian Flight 370 ripping a jet engine off of there and asking Mary Schiavo about it. Could it happen before it flew into the black hole? (laughing) And I am the Stunt King.  I am the new Stunt King.

Oprah Winfrey shouted at her stepmother about there being "negroes in the house".

Just when I had well gone over my usual number of posts with the Bundy story..... up comes Sterling. Enough material here to boggle the mind. A few thoughts on my part here.

I saw a post somewhere that Oprah had called for the deaths of " old white people". I almost bit and quoted it as gospel. I did my homework and found that although she did say this, she qualified it.

She said that the older generation of white people who were marinated in racial prejudice never changed. She said it will be over when they die. It has been opined that the left accuse people of what they are themselves.

Oprah Winfrey is at least a racialist. One who believes their race is specially superior to others. As for Don Lemon he looks like a white anglo-saxon protestant with tan. Probably why he got his job. Larry King was brought out of retirement and went of the Smerconish show. He was introduced as a man who knows and had been friendly with Sterling. He glared as he threw Sterling under the bus. If that man phoned me, he rasped, "I would not answer".

"Let the quality of mercy be not strained. It droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven." Or something like that. (from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.)

Quest can always say, “I don’t know who Donald Sterling is but my guess is he is in the Southern Indian Ocean”

That information came from a Republican unfortunately. Said the donations to dems was over 20 years ago. Since, he is a registered Republican. I could have done without that information.

One has to wonder how accurate is the report. The naacp does not give awards for free, one would think.

Two weeks past Easter, and the crowds still yell, "Crucify him!  Crucify him!!!"
 
 
 

James 3:1-10

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

 

 

Luke 18:9-14

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

 
 

 
 
Not many of you should become NFL owners, my fellow believers, because you know that those who are rich, ugly and have a cheating mistress, will be judged more strictly.

He made a donation to naacp. It was the donations to the democrats they said were old. He has since become a republican. But we cannot control that, can we? I think he has more than politics on his mind today.
