Rush did not say that at all. Read a book.
The left is trying to corner Trump as being an isolationist even with the likes of the holocaust happening. Rush is calling it Bullshit.
____________________________
I am not referring to Rush as a NeoCon. I am saying the labels change over time.
You grow up.
Rush is being an ass by bringing this up.
Trump does not have that era in mind, and he’s not doing something evil by saying he’ll implement policies that make America stronger and it’s citizens safer and more well off financially.
What does bringing this up do except smear Trump.
Left?
Have you seen William Kristol lately?
Rush's (willful?) ignorance about this astounding. The "America First Committee" was disbanded on December 10, 1941, three days after Pearl Harbor. AFC supporters included JFK, Gerald Ford, and future Justice Potter Stewart. These and many others simply believed we shouldn't get involved in a European war, and quickly changed their minds once we were attacked and Hitler declared war against us. I'm not sure any of them thought it would have be "fine and dandy" if Germany took over Europe. Maybe Rush could supply some evidence for this assertion?
The Nazi association comes from Charles Lindbergh, who some thought was a Nazi supporter. He was a spokesman for the AFC. Lindbergh, too, sought to support the war effort as soon as it commenced but was slowed down a bit by FDR who kept him out of the military. Lindbergh had to get involved by supporting American manufacturers and did eventually fly a number of combat missions against the Japanese as a civilian.

>>What does Rush want - something like “America Last AND Elites First’?
To Rush, the Elites ARE America. In his mind, they are the “producers”. The rest of us are just serfs to be used and discarded.
I am reminded more of this meme than any political slogan:
I’m a Rush fan - I’m praying he doesn’t go the Beck route...
Rush needs his Oxycontin.
Just another establishment talking head blathering.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, AMERICA FIRST!
HOORAY Trump
An individual American not afraid to take a stand for the republic and its citizens in contrast to uniparty criminals and kabuki theater extras.
***Im telling you, Rush is starting to tick me off. To imply anything Trump said in that speech has being about Nazis is a huge stretch.***
And don’t think for a second that that wasn’t intentional. He also made it sound like America First is something wrong and not to be aspired to, like America First is some how anti- American! It shows you once and for all that Rush is a corporatist globalist! Stop listening to his damn radio show! It’s time his numbers plummeted and he went home.
This is such a wounderful observation on your part. And we should stop and analyze these moments to discuss and expose the rhetorical games these pimps of punditry play.
The context is Nazi and it is a strong context. There was no need to place the discussion that happened yesterday in the context of 1939 - this is a disinformation technique and a hit job.
Rush can say no no no this is what all the elites are say erstwhile painting a picture worth of Hemingway when it has not to do with anything.
Whats wrong with America government looking out for the interests of the nation first - it should go without saying and when saying common sense is a cause for histrionics well ...
But further look how Rush tries to simultaneously have it both ways by talking about the globalist line. I bet he even went in to one of his voices when he did the yeah thing.
Just as the context of placing the America first in pre war Germany is a purposeful distortion to attach facist photons to Trump placing the average American's objection to getting screwed over by greedy bastards whos fathers and grandfathers fought for, built this country and as soon as possible these largely draft dodgers have sold out there fellow America for the price of living in posh boring homes with meaningless gates around them - to a xenophobic protection position of the past is an almost reactionary reasponse that is pretty stupid when you think about it.
America is under attack by terrorists, by the progressive left, by the greedy globalist and probably 13 other types of stone cutter.
One way free trade has been a false song and Distingushed American Rush has been an apologist for some of its lead singers. DJing their greatest hits.
God forbid it comes of to be true Bushes knowingly helped the 911 funding members of the Saudi Arabian folks then Rush will have part of that whole megaphone.
Careful Rush we are watching
To where it should always have been.
************************************
Amen.
American policy should always be in our interests.
Too late...
“Rush, your a globalist, always have been, so go with the people that support your $$$”
Rush is obviously playing for someone other than Team America. I don’t know if it’s even an identifiable group he’s pitching for.
It could just be that he’s mentally scrambled by a complex jumble of old alliances, friendships, agreements, stuck considerations, ego, jealousy, isolation, conflicting prognostications, personal biases....dunno.
I just know that he’s begun to sputter, and isn’t firing on all cylinders anymore.
One slight critique. It’s ‘you’re’ (you are), not ‘your’.
Thank you, even a college graduate I still mess those up....lol...thank you FRiend...
I heard it the same way Hostage.
I am a lifer with Rush, but his condescending tone he takes with every Trump supporter is sickening.
He has explained it to me every day for two weeks and I still can't get it.
If Rush had said what you heard, it would have been OK, but he didn't.
He could have opened by condemning those that were attempting to tie Trump to the Nazi then I might believe what you heard, but he didn't.
Rush has joined Beck and Levin in this insane attempt to label Trump supporters as morons that are unteachable. He attempts daily to explain why I don't understand his wise opinion, while he makes no attempt to understand the Trump supporters, rolling his eyes and flinging his hands. He should turn off his Ditto Cam when taking a call from a Trump Pest.
You’re welcome, Lady. I love your posts and your energy. You’ve been an inspiration to a lot of quiet followers.
