CNN Interviews the Chamber of Commerce Hoaxer on Climate!
October 21, 2009

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Now, the surreal nature of things continues. Do you remember two days ago a phony group claiming to be the Chamber of Commerce sent out an e-mail that the Chamber had done a 180 and was now supporting cap and trade? It was learned that the e-mail was a hoax and the group was a hoax group. So then we find out later that the group then had a press conference in Washington where the media showed up. And this fake group claiming to be the Chamber of Commerce was in the middle of the press conference denouncing opposition to cap and trade, claiming to be the Chamber of Commerce, and the actual communications director of the Chamber of Commerce walked in there and said, "You are not a representative of the Chamber! If any of you media people in this room want to know the opinion of the US Chamber of Commerce, ask me," and the members of the media told the real Chamber of Commerce guy to shut up, because they wanted to hear what the hoaxer had to say! Okay, are you ready for the next installment of this? The hoaxer showed up on CNN and was interviewed, after his phony, fake press conference at the National Press Club. So the CNN anchor brings in the hoaxer, the fake Chamber of Commerce guy. First question: "What was the point you were trying to make with that fake news conference that some news organizations bought into?"

LYING HOAXER: The point we were trying to make is that the real Chamber of Commerce has a completely backwards -- trog-lo-dyt-ic, in fact -- position on climate change. They're behind the rest of the world and they seem to be working hard to -- trying to make the US the laughingstock of the world. You know, if we send President Obama to Copenhagen in December to the Copenhagen Climate Coun -- Conference without a strong climate bill, uh, the US will be behind the rest of the world, will be the laughingstock of the world, and will be dooming the planet according to the science.

RUSH: No, this guy is so full of it. He's an actor! CNN is interviewing an actor who ran a hoax on the media claiming to be the Chamber of Commerce. So the next question was: "Well, you call them 'troglodytic.' Are you referring to those on the right who have a very narrow view of the issue?"

LYING HOAXER: I'm referring to the corporate interests, specifically that are actively and expensively lobbying against climate legislation, for entirely economic reasons. It's not because they don't believe the science. Everybody who -- I mean if you believe in science at all, you have to believe that climate change is real and it's human caused.

RUSH: Stop this! This guy is an absolute brain dead narrow-minded idiot. There is no "science." There is none that confirms that there's even any warming, much less that it is caused by man. The warmest year in the last ten was 1998, or I guess last 11 years was 1998. The warmest year was 1998! We've got elder cold records and snowfall records being made all over this country. Narrow-minded critics? I'll tell you, the narrow-minded bubbleheads are all on the left. They are the most closed-minded ideologically rigid, live-in-a-cocoon bunch of brain dead... I've gotta stop there because I don't want to say the word.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Do you realize what an idiot you'll become with even casual exposure to CNN? They interview frauds, actors and hoaxers and give them legitimacy. I am warning you, you will severely hamper your IQ and your intellectual growth. In fact you'll suffer intellectual loss, contrary to if you listen to this show you can't help but get smarter. All right, back to the program.

Stan in Vista, California. Great to have you here, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Dittos there, Rush, from Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton. When I heard this American Cancer Society report, the first thought that came to mind was exactly what you just brought up, the Chamber of Commerce fraud. It doesn't fit. It doesn't fit the mold at all.

RUSH: But it was in the New York Times.

CALLER: Well, I understand that, but can we trust the New York Times?

RUSH: Can't trust any of them. They're all corrupt. Are you actually suggesting that the New York Times has fallen for a phony American Cancer Society press release and a couple people doing these interviews?

CALLER: I wouldn't put it past them, but then again, it could be a little bit worse. It could just be that ACS has now been infiltrated.

RUSH: It's amazing. Well, you know, it is so far out of the realm of what has been consensus and conventional wisdom, and I totally understand people thinking that whatever they see in the media these days is an absolute lie or a hoax. You know, stop and think. Does the name Joe Wurzelbacher ring a bell? Joe Wurzelbacher, Joe the Plumber. Joe the Plumber, minding his own business one day when Obama floats into town in Ohio, and Joe the Plumber dares to disagree with Obama's redistribution policies. Obama sits there, "We need to spread the wealth around." And they start an investigation of Joe the Plumber. They start harassing Joe the Plumber, a legitimate, decent American citizen. They find out all the dirt they can about Joe the Plumber, an average American. (interruption) I'm smoking a miniature cigar. As I was saying, just last week, some state official was convicted of using the state computer system to illegally investigate Joe the Plumber. Folks, do you remember this? Joe the Plumber was marked for destruction by the United States media. Here we had on CNN today, or whenever it was, an actor, a fraud, a perpetrator of a hoax given legitimacy because he was carrying the Obama line on destroying the US economy.

Isn’t it highly illegal to impersonate officials from the chamber of commerce?

Don't you all get it? This was the WhiteHouse's crude attempt at payback for the Ho and Pimp "hoax" who exposed ACORN for the cesspool they are.

CNN is a full collaborator by treating the scammers as having made a legitimate point.

Had a “loved one” say one day as we were watching the news, “I hate Joe the Plumber”. I said “I love him. He was minding his own business and O wanted a photo op. He made the mistake of talking without a teleprompter and said he wanted to spread the wealth around and got caught. It was the media that put it out to the world. Not Joe the Plumber.” As usual, I got a blank stare in rebuttal.

These days it’s “no controlling legal authority” running the show.

Who’s going to prosecute? These people can get away with anything. Face it, folks, the times, they aren’t a changin’. They’ve already changed.

Whatever happened to the internet being unreliable because there are no gatekeepers and fact checkers?

Guess they were all laid off?

The MSM has proven themselves over and over again being no more reliable than tabloid trash. Just this past week they had several occasions of this crap, especially the Limbaugh quotes.

Just as illegal as it to be anything else I guess. The Chamber of Commerce isn’t a government organization or anything.

One would think there were some laws that were broken. Then CNN gives the clowns some air time. Just totally fraudulent. Obama says they are the real news network. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Hard not to swear sometimes. So I don’t watch news on tv, can anyone tell me if the ACORN exposer was interviewed on tv?

Nah! Obammer is exploding. He is a pantywaist and can’t handle the job. Maybe 500 more commie czars is his answer. I hope all the DU and Kos kids see what a weak child they promoted. Idiots

I just hope that when the adults regain power they don’t decide to give the other side amnesty so they can get along. A whole fleet of busloads need to see the inside of federal prisons.

Trademark infringement, maybe. Is there something similar to defrauding an innkeeper charge that the NPC could make? The remedies are probably all civil although it might be interesting to have the Chamber go after the deep pocket of the NPC for their part in hosting the hoax.

The purpose I believe of such hoax is to discredit the internet as source of legitimacy.

I find it interesting this happens as FCC is moving towards net neutrality.

There’s a rotten smell about the whole deal.

I understand and slammed alot of folks here for not supporting the McCain/Palin ticket but it may turn out they were correct. I sincerely hope so. It’s such a dangerous angle. If it takes a marxist to prove our constitution limits government, it scares the dickens out of me to watch that play out.

Think about the fools Rahm and Axelgreasy saying that CNN is a news network, whereas FOX is a perspective ... yeah, that ‘news network lends credulity to a clear fraudulent set up. So ratheresque don’tchaknow! Bwahahahahaha ... oh, wait! Millions of Americans probably believe axel and rahm because they spread the crap for Obammy. Sheesh, can laugh at anything any more, it’s all too far gone, America.

Just the FACT that the WH said that wasn’t a bow, well thats just a bald face lie. Hey DU did he ever find that missing contact? morons..

CNN is a fake news organization so it is fitting they would interview fakers and hoaxers.
