RUSH: Now, some predictions as to the way this is gonna go because of political correctness. I hope I'm wrong about these, but even when I start making jokes about the left I end up being right. It's foresight. If Ebola starts spreading quickly in the United States, and if the death toll rises rapidly, I want you to be prepared for the fact that this will be a disease created by the CIA or other powerful majorities for the purposes of wiping out minorities. That is how it will be -- and not in kookville. This will be mainstream...

With the first US cases of Ebola being diagnosed in Dallas, Texas, you hypochondriacs may be panicked. Relax. There’s nothing to see here, nothing to worry about, authorities have everything handled. Top officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital tell us the first unidentified patient is in isolation. The hospital is following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control to keep everybody, doctors, patients, staff, reporters, politicians, everybody, safe. Yes. They forgot to mention that the patient was first sent home after he told them he was from Liberia, ground zero. But, there’s nothing to see here. The CDC is on...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here's a Tony, Edmonds, Washington. Hi, Tony. You're next on Open Line Friday. Hi. CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for having me on. RUSH: Yes, sir. CALLER: Say, how can we light a fire under the Republicans? Here we've got, what, five/six weeks before the election, and these guys have not established a mandate to govern in 2015 if they take the Congress. You know, I asked John Campbell, who is a retiring congressman from California, a great guy. I said, "Why can't we do what we did in '94 where we're the Contract with America." He said,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, we dusted off our Peace Update with Slim Whitman, Una Paloma Blanca. Because two days ago I had noticed, sadly, that there were no peace protesters marching in the streets in peace capitals like New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston. It wasn't happening, and we had just gone to war. We had just gone at war in Iraq. we had just gone at war in Syria. We had just gone at war in the Middle East. An American president was launching bombs, dropping bombs on potentially innocent citizens. And where was the peace...

You may have heard about the so-called “grassroots movement” to force local advertisers to stop advertising on the Rush Limbaugh program, allegedly because of consumer opposition to Rush’s conservative views. It turns out that this so-called Stop Rush campaign isn’t a grassroots campaign at all, but a carefully crafted conspiracy of a small group of radical leftwing activists to bully advertisers into dropping Rush’s program and muffle one of the most effective conservative voices in America in the lead-up to the 2014 midterms and silence him permanently before the 2016 presidential election. There is now stunning proof that only a...

"The Rush Limbaugh Show" on Wednesday accused a "small number of hardcore political activists" and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of being behind a two-year-old Stop Rush protest that amounts to "blackmail" of small business people who advertise with the high-profile conservative talk-show host. In a release issued on Businesswire.com, Limbaugh’s show fired back at the smear campaign against him: “The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s newest email spam, asking their recipients to sign a petition calling for sponsors to end their relationship with The Rush Limbaugh Show, is based on the two-year old Stop Rush political protest as its inspiration....

Waitress Says Rush Limbaugh Tipped Her $1,000 on Two Occasions — Here’s What She Did With the Money Just to Spite Him A waitress turned author claims she received two generous tips of $1,000 on two separate occasions from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh — but she couldn’t find it in herself to keep the “blood money.” Instead, she allegedly donated a “sizable chunk” of Limbaugh’s $2,000 tip to an abortion charity.

The recent campaign to silence conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh is led by ten liberal activists engaged in a more than four-year long effort to destroy Limbaugh by targeting his advertisers.... The activists even use technology to “machine-tweet” anti-Rush comments in robotic fashion to ensure maximum Twitter exposure for their insular group’s efforts. Here are the names of the Stop Rush Ten, as identified by Limbaugh’s staff: Angelo Carusone: Executive vice president of the George Soros-funded liberal attack group Media Matters for America. Matthew Mitchell: An Altamont Springs, Florida resident who tweets as @CaptMurdock. Nancy Padak: A former Kent State...

The Rush Limbaugh Show Exposes the Stop Rush Conspiracy  September 23, 2014- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s newest email spam, asking their recipients to sign a petition calling for sponsors to end their relationship with The Rush Limbaugh Show, is based on the two-year-old Stop Rush political protest as it’s inspiration. After an investigation, The Rush Limbaugh Show has discovered a far darker story to Stop Rush, and is today releasing the hidden story of the people and motives behind the Stop Rush conspiracy. The Stop Rush group claims to be made up of ordinary consumers unhappy with Rush Limbaugh’s...

I can’t believe I’m writing about “StopRush” again.Longtime readers will recall my extensive and groundbreaking research into the StopRush operation just after Limbaugh’s comments about Sandra Fluke in 2012, for which he apologized.I proved then that the operation — at least at that time — was a Media Matters astroturfed assault on Limbaugh’s advertiser base, based on a pre-existing plan just waiting for the right moment. Supposedly independent groups coordinated their efforts with an MMFA operative, and then tried to cover it up. My research led Limbaugh to activate his personal Twitter account to spread the results of my research....

RUSH: There was a giant climate march in New York (well, it was all over the country) over the weekend, and it was clear that anti-capitalism was really the objective here. That's all the military environmental movement is, is a home for displaced communists, once the Berlin Wall fell. It would have been anyway. It's made to order for deception. It's made to order for campaigns of deceit. Environmentalism allows practitioners to claim to have the best interests of everybody at heart. They want to save something -- in this case the planet -- and they want everybody to be...

RUSH: Look, let me tell you where we are with the Republicans. I had a guy was chatting back and forth, a friend last night. He said, "You seem remarkably calm." I said, "I am. It's all about expectations. I finally figured out, the Republican Party's what it is and isn't anything gonna change it, and every day being invested in the hope they're gonna change is a waste of time and energy. Let me give you an example..." And then my friend said, "Let me just tell you something. If one of these ISIS guys get in through the...

RUSH: So I checked the e-mail again, and I can guarantee what's gonna happen. When I quote an e-mail asking me, "Why aren't you doing X?" then the, "Why aren't you doing Y?" crowd shows up, and the next crowd asks, "Why aren't you spending more time talking about what Obama's doing in Syria with ISIS and ISIL?" I'll tell you why. Because I don't think he even cares what he's doing! This is an absolute joke. John Kerry gets up there and says absolutely inane things. He was taken to down by Bob Corker yesterday, sent Boxer shuttering away...

A representative for Rush Limbaugh is accusing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of intentionally lying about the radio host's remarks in "a disturbing and cynical attempt to fundraise from the serious problem of sexual abuse." "The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee emails about Rush Limbaugh are an intentional lie, using 10 words carefully selected from his full comments to imply the opposite of what he actually said," Brian Glicklich, a spokesperson for Limbaugh, told POLITICO on Wednesday. On Tuesday, DCCC Chairman Steve Israel sent a blast email asking supporters to sign a petition calling on Limbaugh's sponsors to pull their advertising...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Do you remember, ladies and gentlemen, when George W. Bush -- some of you new to the program, if you've not heard this, it's amazing. When George W. Bush was looking for a vice presidential candidate to run with him he appointed Cheney to head up the search committee, and Cheney said, "I don't need to look. I'm your guy." And Bush said, "You know what, you're right. You don't need to look. You are my guy." So Bush chose Cheney and the media went out, and we had an audio montage put together, had to be...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, I have a plethora of observations about last night's speech. Kathryn and I watched the speech together, and I took copious notes -- well, I left verbal audio notes to myself and was pausing the playback. We watched it live, but I would hit pause on my DVR and we'd look at each other and make comments. Let me tell you the first observation I had. It was borne out, I mean, within 30 seconds of the speech ending. I paused this, and I looked at Kathryn and I said, "There are a lot of people...

Rush said that 2 weeks ago Obama proudly stated, "We don't have a strategy" for defeating ISIS and prior to that they were the JV team, and prior to that Iraq was settled, it was secure and we could get out of there. Now all of a sudden President Obama has a plan to defeat ISIS which he called a cancer. Rush fired back at the open of his show today calling Obama's strategy 'a joke' that was 'purely political'

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Then of course there is the Ray Rice situation with the NFL and the announcement by Harvey Levin, who is the new Walter Cronkite in this country. You know who Harvey Levin is, Mr. Snerdley? He's the founder and the CEO of TMZ. He's the new Walter Cronkite. Trust me. He has replaced Jon Stewart as the official supplier of news with credibility for the low-information crowd. They released the video of Ray Rice decking his fiancee in that elevator, and last night Harvey Levin said we're gonna post tomorrow morning, meaning today, evidence that we believe...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Apple announcement in less than an hour. And judging from even my own e-mail, you people in the Stick-to-the-Issues Crowd may not like it, but there is more interest in the Apple announcement today than in Obama's speech tomorrow on ISIS. And the reason why is that Apple is gonna create jobs and provide excitement and show the potential of America and create never-ending Christmas mornings for people, whereas the public perception of Obama is he doesn't care about ISIS. The public perception of Obama is that he's checked out. He doesn't really care about the...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Democrats have concocted a strategy to save the Senate, and that is to have Obama do his executive order on immigration and amnesty-ize five million of 'em, six million of 'em. Luis Gutierrez is now backing off just a little bit on when Obama's gonna do this and just how extensively Obama's gonna do it. We have tape. He was on with Cavuto yesterday. He's backing off just a little. But the Democrats are urging Obama to do this, because they know, they hope that it will goad the Republicans into what? Shutting down the government....
