RUSH: Obama Briefly Addresses 'Terrible Tragedy' In Ukraine And Then Started Telling Jokes

Conservative pundits are already speculating about the crash that reportedly killed 295 peopleRush Limbaugh already has a conspiracy theory about Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which crashed earlier today near the border of Ukraine and Russia. He believes that this tragedy, which reportedly killed 295 people, is a great way for the media to stop focusing on the crisis at the border. He spouted this nonsense during his radio show today. From the show’s transcript: “Holy cow, folks. Have you seen the news? A Malaysian Airlines flight has been shot down by a missile over Ukraine, at least according to an...

RUSH: Here's President Obama, by the way, Wilmington, Delaware, port of Wilmington, he spoke about the downed Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in Ukraine. Listen to the profundity here of the opening line. Are you ready? Just listen. It's about 27 seconds, but just listen. I mean, this is raw intelligence. This is the kind of intelligence, folks, that we expected back in 2008. This is what they all meant when they said, "He's a man unlike any who has ever walked among us! This is a man who is so much above us that we can just barely strive to...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, as an adjunct, or a continuation of the discussion just now on the polling data, the Washington Post/ABC News showing how bad it is for the Republicans, the way they're handling the immigration crisis on the Southern border. I had a sound bite yesterday from the governor of Nebraska and I did not get to it, and I could shoot myself for not getting to it. I don't need it now, too late now. It's my bad. But I can tell you what it was about. The governor of Nebraska was livid when he found out...

But do you remember, during the sequester Obama was able to close down the Washington National Mall. He was able to stop veterans ceremonies. He was able to shut down the Blue Ridge Parkway. He was even able to shut down the Grand Canyon, visits to the Grand Canyon. He was able to shut down visits to Jellystone National Park. While the World War II Memorial was shut down, he allowed I think it was an anti-Israel or pro-immigration rally or some such thing to go on at that place when he was preventing World War II vets from making...

RUSH: Why should Obama even bother going to the border when you have a news agency that will actually lie and say that you have been? I am holding in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a printout of a post by Michelle Malkin at Twitchy. Reuters has actually posted an out-and-out lie. There is a picture of Obama standing on the edge of a wooded area, also known as a forest. There is a giant American flag in the background. In the lower right-hand corner there's a group of starstruck young people watching the president speak from the presidential podium. And...

RUSH: Where is the Hollywood telethon for the suffering children crossing the border? We do "We Are the World" for the starving in Ethiopia. Where is the telethon? Where is the massive leftist outpouring of compassion and fundraising for these hungry, thirsty, ill, sick, victimized-through-no-fault-of-their-own children? It's just like you said to me yesterday, "Rush, you may as well give it up. You're not got gonna win this." I said, "Win what?" "You're not gonna convince people to send the kids back." I said, "Why does somebody think that's what I'm doing?" "Rush, there's nobody under 25 in this country...

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was fired up on Wednesday following Sen. Thad Cochran’s controversial victory over tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel in Mississippi on Thursday. Cochran reached out to traditionally Democratic voters – blacks and union members – in a last-ditch effort to beat McDaniel. “The Republican establishment sought victory via Democrat voters in the runoff, and they got them. Without the African-American vote from Democrat-leaning counties, Thad Cochrane would have lost by eight or nine percent last night,” Limbaugh said, calling the tactic “reprehensible.” Limbaugh cited a flyer, posted by journalist Charles Johnson that suggested McDaniel and...

"Six months ago, The Regime began planning how to transport tens of thousands of undocumented children from the border. A January 29th application was posted on Federal Business Opportunities, a website that advertises government contract openings. The post says the government was preparing for the arrival of undocumented kids. They sought vendors to handle transportation logistics. The document states Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has a “mission-critical responsibility for accepting custody of Unaccompanied Alien Children from US Border Patrol and other Federal agencies,” and then “transporting these juveniles to Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters located throughout the continental United States.”...

-SNIP-Limbaugh remarked, “When Mrs. Clinton said, ‘We’re not well off. We pay ordinary income taxes,’ she’s jealous. She’s envious of people of people who have a lot of money. And $50 million, $100 million in their world isn’t a lot of money. Not among the people they hold dear. They know multi-billionaires. They fly around gratis on their friends’ private Boeing 757s. The Clintons are so cheap, they won’t spend their own money on anything, not even to charter a Piper Cub to get from Chappaqua [New York] to Washington.” He continued: “They’re out they’re doing everything they can while...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want you to imagine the federal government eliminating your private property rights due to the interpretation of political correctness by five people, or a very tiny minority of people. The tiny minority of people are ostensibly, they say, offended by something that you own. Imagine an agency of the federal government, without any proper adjudication before any sort of court, tribunal, or what have you, just comes along and, on their own whim, decides to eliminate your private property rights. Because of interpretation of political correctness, because they're liberals, because they're statists and authoritarians and assigned...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The NBC News/Washington Post poll. It is indeed very bad for Obama, but it's irrelevant. The poll means nothing to Obama. His presidency is not over. It's just getting started. I say this because Obama is operating unilaterally. He doesn't have to face voters anymore. The lame duck analogy doesn't apply to Obama. Mostly when a president reaches lame duck status, it's usually meant to be that he's powerless. But that doesn't apply here to Obama. His lame duck status simply means: The fact that he doesn't have to face the voters anymore means there's no reason...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So I got in here today, and I got a flash e-mail: "Hey, Rush, I know you've got a ban on MSNBC, but F. Chuck Todd said that the Obama presidency is over. It's done. It's fini because of the latest NBC News/Washington Post poll." I'm sad to say that F. Chuck Todd is wrong. In fact, the correct way to look at the Obama administration is that it's just now getting started. It is in no way over. It is in no way crumbling. It may be in public opinion, but that doesn't matter. I will...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want to go back to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll for one little tidbit of additional information that was not imparted by F. Chuck Todd. However, it could be one of the reasons he's so despondent. Washington Examiner dug deep. "Hispanics Help Drive President Obama's Approval Rating to a Fresh Low." Hispanics. Now, remember, the conventional wisdom in Washington is the Republicans had better adopt the policies of the Democrats so that they get some Hispanic support so that they can win some elections again. And if they don't do that, it's sayonara -- or...

I caught Rush's show yesterday for a few minutes and I'm not sure if he was reading an article from realclearpolitics or if he was on an extended rant, but it was absolutely brilliant. He was talking about the Republican party being driven by big business and not being receptive to the conservative base. He mentioned Brit Hume's whining about the Cantor loss. Does anyone know if this was an article he was reading, and, if so, have a link to the article?

I just heard on Rush's show that there is a possibility that Obama will issue a blanket pardon of all illegal aliens in the United States. Rush said that he will use the threat of this to goad Republicans into passing an immigration reform bill. What needs to be understood about this threat is that it doesn't change much. The constitutional power of the president to pardon people of crimes allows this pres__ent to excuse the crimes that the illegals have committed at the time of the pardon. What is the crime? Being in the country illegally. OK, so we...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Before we get to the Hillary Clinton sound bites, I don't think things are going as well with this book as they had planned. But that's just my first take, just based on things I'm seeing in the news. It's still at number two on Amazon and it had the whole Drive-By Media behind it. It's already been marked down 40%, which is not uncommon. It's standard operating procedure sometimes for best-sellers to be knocked down to 30%, anywhere from 15 to 30. But 40? And there are not a whole lot of people showing up at...
