Rush Limbaugh interview with Sarah Palin

[DavidS]

The audacity of these questions, someone who is a heartbeat away from being the future leader of the free world, of our great nation and he doesn't ask her one fucking hardball question, not ONE question that would challenge her mind whatsoever. Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric are bashed because they had the audacity to challenge her qualifications for being president, and this isn't even softball, this is T-Ball. This isn't even T-Ball, this is the other team getting Sammy Sosa on home plate and the pitcher throwing the ball just the way Sammy wants it to be thrown so he could hit a home run. This isn't a homerun for the McCain campaign, this is a loss in the first inning to them. If this woman is so qualified to be vice president, where is she in the mainstream media? Why isn't she on Larry King? Why isn't she on Anderson Cooper? Two interviews with the mainstream media, where she flounders horribly and they tank her off of the air faster than an F-16. G-d forbid something happens to McCain if they're elected, THIS is the woman who will be making the hardest decisions in life. This is a joke. This is the ultimate spit in the face of America and our proud nation. I'm so disgusted right now, I'm literally shaking.

So, here it is, decide for yourself, folks. Look at how tough these questions are:


Rush Interviews Governor Sarah Palin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Rush Limbaugh and Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies taking us into our little chat here with Governor Sarah Palin, the vice presidential nominee for John McCain. Governor Palin, welcome to the program. It's nice to have you here. It's a pleasure to speak with you.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Hey. Thank you so much and dittos from Scranton.

RUSH: Scranton, Pennsylvania, on the bus?

GOVERNOR PALIN: We just got off the bus. We're heading into a rally here, but wanted to take a couple of minutes to get to say hi and let you know what we're doin', Rush.

RUSH: I tell you, I was in a quandary here this morning. I admire you so much I really don't know what to ask. I was tempted to say, "Okay, Governor Palin. You've got ten minutes. Let her rip." (laughs)

GOVERNOR PALIN: (laughs)

RUSH: But one thing I do want to ask you about: Obama's comment yesterday to the plumber who said, "Why are you going to raise my taxes?" and Obama said, "Well, it's not that I want to punish you. It's that I want to -- we want to spread the wealth around," which seems to me to sum it up. This is contrary to every economic and constitutional principle for which this nation stands. And it seems this comment by Obama -- and I know that Senator McCain hit this this morning -- is just an excellent opportunity for your campaign to contrast your vision of America with his.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Absolutely! You know, people on November 4th, they're going to have the choice. You can either support the ticket that will support policies to create jobs -- we do that by reducing taxes and reining in government growth and allowing our country to be energy independent -- or you choose the ticket that's going to kill jobs by increasing taxes, just like Barack Obama is purporting today.

RUSH: Now, Governor Palin, do you...? Do you...? How to ask this? The people that are being thrilled to death by your presence, the people that have been revved up on our side -- who, prior to your being chosen, were not nearly as excited as they are now -- and one of the reasons for it, Governor Palin, is that you seem to understand the stark choice we have and the real danger the country faces in the future if the Obama-Biden ticket is elected. And I'd just like to know personally: Do you see it that way? Do you see it beyond just an average, normal presidential campaign in any given four-year period?

GOVERNOR PALIN: I do. I see it. I mean this. On November 4th, we're going to set a course for the future of our great country. We're going to go one direction or the other, and you understand that our ticket, what we're all about is pro-growth, pro-private sector. We're tax cuts. We're reining in government. We're proponents of the culture of life that would make America better off. We're adamant about winning the wars with the strongest military in the world. All those things that we stand for that I think are so clearly articulated with our message, with the plan that's been expressed, we can go that direction or we can go in the complete opposite direction of all those aforementioned goals that we have in mind if you choose the other ticket.

RUSH: Well, now, as I listen to your campaign appearances and Senator McCain's, it seems that you are the more forceful in speaking out against Obama and his campaign ideas. Are they giving you pretty much free rein to attack this campaign as you wish?

GOVERNOR PALIN: Well, you know, there just aren't enough hours in the day I think to get out there and (cell garbled). Rush, I've got nothing to lose in this, and I think America has everything to gain by understanding the differences, the contrasts here between Obama and McCain. So, you know, I'm going out there and I'm just simply speaking. So be it that I'm a simple talker, but I'm just going out there and letting people know the differences and how absolutely paramount it is that voters are paying attention and that voters are understanding candidates' records, their associations, their plans for the future; instead of being kind of wrapped up into all this rhetoric of Obama's and buying into it and not holding him accountable for the things that he's done, the things that he's said, his associates, and where he wants to take America.


RUSH: That's exactly it. The media is not holding him accountable; the media is covering up for him. That's why there is so much enthusiasm for you, because you are the one in this campaign who is holding him to account and trying to explain who he is and who his alliances are with and have been. There are two stories today -- one in the Los Angeles Times, one in the New York Times -- both saying how wonderful you are as a speaker. The New York Times posited that you are the most forceful and dynamic speaker of all four candidates on the presidential circuit. Then they said that your forcefulness and your opinionatedness and your charisma and your overwhelming ability to say what you mean, is driving away moderates. Now, this is an attempt to get you to shut up.

GOVERNOR PALIN: (laughing)

RUSH: This is an attempt by the media to make you stop being who you are. What it means is, they're really worried about the effectiveness that you have.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Well, yeah, I guess that message is they do want me to sit down and shut up. But that's not going to happen. I care too much about this great country. Now, yes, speaking of some of those associations -- and you're right; mainstream media is not holding Barack Obama accountable -- let's talk quickly about ACORN and the unconscionable situation that we're facing right now with voter fraud. And given the ties between Obama and ACORN and the money that his campaign has sent them and the job that he had with them in the past, Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he's willing to fight voter fraud. We called him on it.

RUSH: He's not going to do that. He's been paying for them.

GOVERNOR PALIN: (laughing) Yeah. Right.

RUSH: He's not going to rein them in! This is why you guys have to have the responsibility. Obama is not going to do anything to harm himself.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Well, here's the deal then. We call him on it again today, right, as we did almost a month ago. We reached out to Obama and we said that there has to be an effort to cooperate on potential voter fraud. That was a month ago. It wouldn't surprise you, of course, that we haven't received a response from back then. But again, though, calling him on it again today -- and for shame if the mainstream media were to cover this one up! There's already been too much ignorance, ignoring of, his associations with Bill Ayers and with others in the past. But this ACORN stuff, it is unconscionable.

RUSH: I don't mean to always harp on the media here because everybody does this, but this is a true observation here. If it weren't for the media covering up for Obama and presenting him as a person he's not, he would be at 30% in the polls. Your odds, therefore, are formidable, the things that you and Senator McCain have to overcome in these last three weeks because you're not only waging a race. This is my opinion. She's not saying this, folks. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, Governor, but you're waging a race not just against Obama and Biden. You're waging a race against most of the mainstream media in this country. One of the things I have to go back and ask you before we lose our time with you. It's something that profoundly offended me. You have borne up under this well. You're from Alaska; thrust onto the national stage. They start these attempts to destroy you, based on your apparent treasonous behavior to feminism. How did it make you feel when they said you had no business being chosen for vice president because you have a child to raise?

GOVERNOR PALIN: Oh, isn't that something? The double standards are something else. But, you know what? If my skin isn't thick enough to take those petty immature shots that are coming from some of them on the other side, then I have no business thinking that I could serve as vice president. And keeping it in perspective, too, Rush when you consider the true shots that actually hurt people across America -- those who are worried about losing their homes, their jobs; maybe their kid or their spouse is over in the war zone, they're worried about that person's safety -- those are the true shots that really matter in America today. So the political... (cell phone drops)

RUSH: Oh, no! We lost the cell call. I had one last question to go before that answer, and the question was going to be... Maybe she'll call us back real quick. I'll hold here and see if they do try to get back, and I'll give you a heads-up on the question I was going to ask her. She's got to be enjoying this. I want to ask her. She seems like she really enjoys this. Here she comes from Alaska. She's thrust onto the national stage, and all of a sudden now he's really eating this up, and she's the reason for the crowds. And I wonder how her future in politics, as she assesses it, is. Governor Palin, we have you back?

GOVERNOR PALIN: Hey, I'm back. Sorry.

RUSH: Sorry we lost you. I've got one question. I know your time is short. A lot of people are... A friend of mine had dinner with another friend in Cleveland about three weeks ago, and this guy -- whose name you would know; I'm going to protect his identity -- was just going on and on and on about how impressed he was with the fact that all of a sudden, outta nowhere, you get thrust onto a national stage from Alaska; you show up one day in Ohio and it appears that you had bags packed for a month, that you had all of the logistics handled. He was profoundly impressed just by the human challenge that you overcame there. Now, you're on the trail, and everybody watching you, including me, seems to think that you really like this, that you're into it and you're a natural at it.

GOVERNOR PALIN: (laughter)

RUSH: So, therefore, have you even thought about a political future beyond this campaign?

GOVERNOR PALIN: That's a good question. (laughing) No, because I'm thinking about November 4th, and I am just so absolutely passionate about the job that we have in front of us from now 'til November 4th, getting people to understand how important paying attention is. Let me bring up one more thing real quickly about the economy and taxes and Barack Obama and his flip-flopping and his inconsistencies there that should... Sheesh. This stuff should make people question what his intentions are. Now, we're pressing Obama on taxes, right, because he's known as somebody who would raise taxes on you. He's voted 94 times for higher taxes, including increased taxes on people making just $42,000 a year. So, he said repeatedly he would consider abandoning his plan for all these huge tax increases of his if the economy was "weak," quote. He said if it were weak. But even today, not being able to admit that, okay, the economy is weak, but it's not weak enough for Obama to say he won't raise taxes. He will raise taxes. People have to understand that and then, from there, let them make the best decision.

RUSH: The point about that comment to me, Governor Palin, is he's admitting that his economic plan will slow down the economy. So whether it's weak or strong, who needs that? We don't need somebody as president who admits his objective is going to harm economic growth! This man poses a serious danger. I know that you're aware of it, and a lot of people are counting on you. I'm not trying to add any more pressure to you than you already have, but a lot of people, you've struck a chord with them, and we look at these crowds that you're drawing out there, and it keeps everybody fired up. So keep it up.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Okay. And I certainly will, but the crowds that we're drawing, it's just good, commonsense, hardworking patriotic Americans who are saying, "Right on! It is time for change." But it's the change that matters --

RUSH: Yeah, but --

GOVERNOR PALIN: -- that they're concerned about.

RUSH: They're standing in the rain for two hours to get in to see you after driving an hour and a half to get there, and that's because you have reenergized them.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Well, I love 'em and we're not going to let 'em down. I promise you, Rush. We're not going to let you down. We're not going to let these good, patriotic, hardworking Americans down. We're going to put government back on their side.

RUSH: Thanks, Governor Palin. I appreciate your time and all the best down the road the next three weeks.

GOVERNOR PALIN: Hey, thank you so much and we'll keep listening. Thank you, Rush.

RUSH: All right. Governor Sarah Palin from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

[Modbert]

Now now David, for Sawwah those are the tough questions.

 

[mdjgirl7]

Just can't stand it if somebody is liking the Palin and not Obama. It is OK for the media to kiss Obama's butt which happens on a daily basis. Some kid has got up a blog calling Obama the messiah what a joke. God forbid if any media kisses her butt. Get over it.

New flash Palin has more experience then Obama oh wait she is running for VP not president hmmmm

New flash Palin has more experience then Obama oh wait she is running for VP not president hmmmm

Are you serious? Please send me a link to an interview done with Obama where the questions to him were softballed like that. Obama gets asked the most difficult questions on a daily basis. No media outlet has EVER "kissed Obama's butt."

Palin may have more executive experience than Obama, but she's clearly shown in her interviews that she cannot, at all, produce any understanding of the issues. You could have 50 years experience if you want, but if you don't understand the issues, if you think foreign policy experience is being next to Russia, then you're as idiotic as those questions are.

Joe Biden's given hardball questions, Obama's given hardball questions, but everytime you ask Palin a difficult question, it's the liberal media's fault that she doesn't know the answer. BULLSHIT. Whatever happened to the conservative values of taking responsibility for your own actions, or in this case, inactions? If I ask you what 2+2 = and you don't know the answer, it's MY fault? BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. This woman has been given a free pass and is tucked away in a more secure, undisclosed location more often than Dick Cheney is.

The media is not kissing Obama's butt oh please. When the last Presidential debate was over the only thing I heard was OHHHHHH Obama won that one he LOOKED and SOUNDED presidential. I heard he is pretty and talks good which does not make a president.

For me his inexperience showed up big time. On some of those questions I was thinking I bet you are glad McCain had to answer first because I am sure he would have been clueless.

Palin tried to make a funny she can see Russia form her yard come on even a 2 year old can take a joke.

Palin was elected Mayor and Governor of Alaska in a predominately male society. I guess she ain't that stupid like the media loves to paint her as. I like the fact she sold there over the top jet on ebay and gave the money back to the people heck yes I say. Oh then she gets picked to run for VP yep she is a stuppy not. Try and not believe everything the liberal media wants you to believe think for yourself.

But yet again I tell you Palin is NOT running for President now is she? Obama is who has less experience then the one who is running for VP.

Sarah has taken on her opponents more then we can say for Obama. Obama has NEVER stood up to his party let me say it again NEVER. Did you see that take notes NEVER.

Obama promises change yep he picks a good ole white boy to be his running mate a man who has been in politics as long as McCain. Yeah that is change alright not.

McCain has shown us change he has stood up to his own party. McCain picked a outsider to be his running mate a fresh new face. Someone who is not Washington baptized oooooohhh I know change something Obama promises and we have not seen one thing yet. McCain comes out with change where is Obama's?


Obama voted 94 times to raise taxes. Obama wants to raise the taxes on those who make over $250,000 a year sounds good don't it!!! Guess what those are the people who own the business's I wonder how they are going to make that money up hmmmm wait I know.

Lay off some workers and perhaps raise the prices of their products perhaps what ya think. Sooo instead of the poor middle class paying higher taxes they can fork it out in higher prices. Same thing we still get less money. Thanks Obama for that brilliance.

I believe that Obama in that last debate siad he wants to FORCE companys to provide health insurnce for their workers hmmmm say it with me lay off lay off lay off off off. We could make a song out of it. Obama is a boob. God help us if he is elected.

Making stuff up again. Obama did not say he was going to force small companies to provide health insurance. Small companies would be exempt.

 

[Diuretic]

The wingnuts are now crazed. They can see what's about to happen. It has sent them over the edge.

 

[Red Dawn]

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that the Pussycat with Lipstick has been reduced to doing rightwing propoganda talk radio. What would people say if Obama and Biden were only going on Air America and Rachel Maddax? They'd say Obama was a pussy.

I guess this means we won't be seeing poor Sarah on Meet the Press or Face th Nation anytime soon?

RCP Obama +8.1

West Virginia is a toss up state.

[Chris]

Paging Mr. Romney.......

[Diuretic]

Mr Romney has left the building....in a hurry!

 

[Red Dawn]

Sarah Palin merely highlights how big of a joke the McCain campaign is.

RCP Obama +8.1

West Virginia is a toss up state.

Obama is going to win ...

Big.

I wonder if there's any bradley effect.

We'll find out.

It is hilariuous that north dakota, indiana, north carolina, and west virginia are battleground states

 

[Article 15]

I wonder if there's any bradley effect.

We'll find out.

A Bradley effect is the last hope for the McCain campaign. It's sad that racism is their only shot at the White House ...

If NC and VA flip to Obama election night will an early one.

McCain will be conceding before 9 pm ...

Interesting tyraid, however; you could've saved your energy had you answered my question.

For your viewing pleasure, I will ask you again. When has Obama ever been given a softball interview of the likes that Palin was given? In addition, when has Joe Biden ever been given a softball interview of the likes Palin was given? Either my question with a link where I can view this softball interview, or tell me that neither candidate has EVER been given a softball interview like Palin was given. In which case, the most popular conservative radio talk show host in America, in history, that there ever was, feels so low in confidence about Palin, he won't ask her ONE, not ONE policy question. NOT ONE.

How does someone who is a heartbeat away from being the president of the united states of america, the commander in chief of the world's largest and most powerful military, of being in charge of over 10,000 nuclear weapons, of being the biggest influence over the worlds largest GDP, not get asked ONE policy question in an interview that was listened to by a MINIMUM of 13.5 MILLION people? I understand Rush Limbaugh wants someone in the White House who shares his values and his concerns, but does he want someone in the White House is the least qualified human being in the entire history of ANY election, ANYWHERE in the world? She has no comprehension, absolutely NO COMPREHENSION at all of the issues at hand that are facing hundreds of millions of Americans. She can memorize Republican talking points just as good as the next person, but does that mean she understands them?

By the way, you are the first human being who I ever read anything about the Alaska's next to Russia line being a joke. She has never said that, nor has the McCain campaign ever said that it was a joke. If it was a joke, why would she make a joke when being asked a serious question about her qualifications to be president of the united states?

Do you know how many interviews Joe Biden has done since he was named vice president? 80. 80 interviews. And every single one of them he was asked tough policy questions that, G-d forbid something were to ever happen to Obama, he would be ready to step right in and take charge of this country. Do you know how many interviews Sarah Palin has done since she was named vice presidential candidate? 4. 1 on ABC. 1 on CBS. 1 on FoxNews and 1 on Rush Limbaugh's program. In the history of modern America, since electronic media was invented with the radio, no vice presidential candidate has ever done so few interviews.

Anyway, this is all just rhetorical talk. My question about when Obama has ever been given a softball interview still stands.

 

[DavidS]

so, now Rush is a journalist and not an entertainer?

hmmmm
i heard the interview, it wasnt meant to be a hard hitting interview
don't you guys EVER actually listen to Rush?

Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a broadcast journalist. He reports on the news that is affecting everyday American life and gives a conservative viewpoint on them. I've listened to Rush Limbaugh many times and I'm still a subscriber. Although, after this "interview" I'm thinking about canceling.

You have over 13.5 million people listening to you and this woman has given you 10 minutes of her time. Can you not ask one question that will reassure nervous conservatives that this woman is ready to lead this country?

Here's my question to Palin: You're in a meeting in the White House and Chicago has been hit by a biological terrorist act. Thousands of people are dying and the country needs your leadership to look to. What is your first move?

 

[DavidS]

A Bradley effect is the last hope for the McCain campaign. It's sad that racism is their only shot at the White House ...

If NC and VA flip to Obama election night will an early one.

McCain will be conceding before 9 pm ...

Not so fast.. Obama could lose California! Oh, wait, nevermind.

 

[Article 15]

Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a broadcast journalist.

Rush Limbaugh is fat, lying, racist, drug addict.

I would like to see him beaten senseless with an oversized dildo, Hatchet Harry style.

 

[DavidS]

Rush Limbaugh is fat, lying, racist, drug addict.

I would like to see him beaten senseless with an oversized dildo, Hatchet Harry style.

Big words from a Red Sox fan.

I got one word for ya':
