RUSH: Now, there's more outrageous, just embarrassing stuff out there. I can't really believe it. I feel like I'm still watching the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary show with this next one. Have you heard about Marie Harf at the State Department and what she said? She was on MSNBC last night, and we have a ban on all audio from MSNBC. She was on with Chris Matthews. Even Matthews... He was doing everything he could to agree with her and support her, but even he thought he was listening to a lunatic.
Marie Harf said, "We cannot win the War on Terror, nor can we win the war on ISIS by killing them. We need to find them jobs. We need to get to the root cause of terrorism, and that is poverty and lack of opportunity in the terrorist community." Now, this is exactly what I mean when I talk about young skulls full of mush being corrupted at the academe, at university, at colleges, institutions of higher learning.
This woman is an absolute throwback to 1960s, feel-good liberalism that is senseless. It's chickified, it denies reality, and this is the number two spokeswoman at the State Department. Her boss is not very much more cogent. That would be the infamous Jen Psaki. Marie Harf, a spokeswoman for the US State Department, said, "Americans cannot win against the Islamic State by killing them, and what we ought to instead focus on addressing what she claimed was the root problem -- their poor economy -- and help them get jobs."
Marie, you can't even do that in this country. We have 92.5 million Americans not even working in this country, and you are clueless about how to change that. Now all of a sudden we're in a war, and we're not gonna win this by killing? Do you know what the purpose of armies is? It's to kill people and break things. Wars are not won with doctors and nurses and clean water and good vibes and jobs and all of this typical, nonsensical, worthless, touchy-feely, gooey, syrupy, sticky liberalism.
t's getting dangerous out there. She said, "We're killing a lot of 'em, and we're gonna keep killing more of them, and so are the Egyptians, and so are the Jordanians. They're in this fight with us. We can't win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need -- in the medium to longer term -- to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups."
This embodies everything that this Regime refuses to acknowledge that these people are militant Islamists. And, by the way, I have a theory about why that is. I think it all can be traced back to everybody on the left, and everybody in the media, who did nothing but lie and spread lies about how Bush had lied us into war. They succeeded in delegitimizing the Iraq war by spreading that lie that Bush lied to get us into it.
I'm gonna break here but I'm gonna expand on this, because I think that's what we're doing.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: RUSH: Anyway, Brian in St. Augustine, Florida. How are you, sir?
CALLER: I'm doing great, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Fine. Thank you very much.
CALLER: I'm calling because you mentioned the meeting about why the jihadists hate us, and having the meeting assumes that there's some logic behind it at all. But it's just like the reason why the left hates the right: There is no logic. It's just because we exist, we aren't them, so naturally we hate you.
RUSH: That's true, but remember who we're talking about here. We're talking about the left asking the question, and the left thinks that everybody should love them. They love themselves, and they think they can make everybody love them. They think with doctors, nurses, clean water, and good speeches, that they can turn the most vicious hatemonger into somebody that loves them. And that's what the seminar is about.
"What can we do to show these ISIS people that we are good people and they have no reason to fear us?" You've nailed it. Because there's no logic to this hatred. It's pure ideology. They hate us because we are not the proper religion. The left hates us because we're not them. They can't tell you specifically why they hate us. They have to make it up. "Racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe." But here you have the Regime and its seminar specialists, and they're a bunch of leftists.
They think everybody loves them, or that they can make everybody love them -- with doctors, nurses, clean water speeches, words, you name it -- and that's the purpose of the seminar. Remember, the left always thinks -- despite a worldwide, despite a from-the-beginning-of-time failure of socialism and communism -- that the current generation of leftists can finally make it all work.
It's the triumph of emotion over common sense that's epitomized in the Obama campaign as, "We are ones we've been waiting for! Yeah, the Soviets, they got close, but they just ran out of money and they had to deal with Reagan. And the Chinese communists? They're getting closer. And Castro? Best health care system in the world!" They think that despite socialism having never worked, communism having never worked.
It's never brought about the utopia that they claim to believe in. It's never brought about the human perfection they claim to believe in. Yet they believe every generation of leftists is the generation to make it happen. There is no rationality to any of this. So their seminar tomorrow is really: How can they take steps to let ISIS what good people they really are and why there's no reason for ISIS to hate them? Part and parcel of that? "That's why we're not calling you terrorists!
"That's why we're not calling you ISIS. We're not provoking you, and we're not insulting you. " This is how they think. "If we just show you that we respect you, you'll respect us and you'll stop killing us." That's what they believe. That's how you get a Marie Harf. That's how you end up with her. This woman, at best, ought to be working in a soup kitchen. Instead she's the number two spokeswoman at the State Department, and she's out there saying that to solve this problem we need to get them jobs.
What the hell is that!
I just can't believe we got here.
Stupidity is not curable.
The Liberals babble about Gov. Scott Walker not having a college degree. Well, Marie Harf has a Bachelors Degree and a Masters Degree and look at her. So much for the Democrats attack on Walker!
lol
The lunacy of the underlings merely reflects the lunacy at the top. We are now governed by the stupid and corrupt. God Help America.
You said it
She's not a blonde in the true sense..after all, look at the pictures..it's clear that the “drapes don't match the carpet”.. She is however, a tremendous embarrassment..no wonder the bad guys don't take us seriously.
No, but when I saw her picture, I immediately heard the following lyrics from Don Henley’s song “Dirty Laundry” ringing in my head:
“Got the bubble-headed bleach-blond that comes on at five;
She can tell you about plane crash with a gleam in her eye.”
To paraphrase a lyricist
Ain’t that a kick in the head!?!
They have to hire people like this dumb blonde. If they hired someone with a fully functional brain the person would tell them there is no way they are going to go on national television and make a fool out of themselves.
Coming up soon, Jen Psaki making the rounds “clarifying” what Marie Harf said.
what's next, the stooopid b!tch having them immigrate to the US
Marie Harf and Jen Psaki: the "Lavenrne and Shirley" of the Obama administration.
More like the Romy and Michelle of the Obama Administration
Well she is nothing but an educated idiot
We are a country of immigrants. We should welcome others into our country with open arms, learning the powerful and valuable lessons these new and exciting cultures bring to us. By embracing our differences (people who like to set others on fire or cut their heads off vs those who don’t) our culture becomes vibrant and rich, and better prepared to achieve the american dream for all. As our country becomes more diverse..... our inability to agree on anything at all makes us all he more stronger. :)
She looks like a refugee from “Laugh-In”.
ROFL! Perfect!
Get them jobs?
That doesn’t seem to be one of their chief complaints.
In fact, I don’t think it makes the top 100 of their wants or gripes.
