This kind of fundraising has a name. It’s called extortion.

RUSH: In the spirit of doing whatever I can to move things forward in this country, I would like to make myself available to the president of the United States to sit down and talk with him at a place of his choosing -- and discuss the problems facing the country, and maybe working together.  Since I am the opposition, since I am the obstacle, since I am the reason he can't get things done, I'll be glad to sit down with him any time, anyplace that he wants.

RUSH: Good Morning America, here is portion of Jonathan Karl, the White House correspondent's report about the IRS scandal -- and, lo and behold, I end up being in this report...

RUSH: Here's the president of the United States, who finds his agenda blocked -- thwarted, stalled -- and his stated excuse and reason is me, a radio talk show host.

RUSH: The Obama administration is spying on state-controlled reporters from the Associated Press.  Don't they know that the AP would have given him this information if he just asked for it?

RUSH: Do you really think that the media is gonna end up divorcing Obama and end up opposing him over this? How's that gonna manifest itself? What are they gonna do, demand impeachment? Oh, you really think they're gonna start reporting more objectively on this? This is a lover's spat. They're gonna kiss and make up inside of a week.

RUSH: What ProPublica is doing is getting out in front of it. Rather than waiting for this to be discovered, they are attempting to be on the side of the angels by reporting on the IRS. They are pretending to be on the side of the angels by reporting what the IRS did in giving them this information now.

RUSH:  Obama's got nothing to do with any of this.  That's how they're trying to play it.  That's how Jay Carney's trying to play it. Obama's got nothing to do with any of this and, if it happened, why, he's outraged by it just like you are!

RUSH: So she underwent a double mastectomy as a preventative measure.  You know, that's gotta take some guts.  You know just how important physical appearance is to men and women and their physical characteristics and what it says to people about their self-esteem and their identity. To do something like this is brave.

RUSH: What the IRS has been doing is leaking private information to the media. That's what they have been doing, and Harry Reid today basically said that they need to be given even more power since they're the only ones that really can do this.

It may be time to start addressing our president as “Barack Milhous Obama.”

RUSH: The media is not on our side.  The media's always gonna be on the side of the Democrats; they're always gonna be on the side of Obama.  Their effort here is to essentially limit the damage to the IRS as much as they can.  There are just certain things they know, the media, that the public is not gonna accept no matter how the media treats it. So they get in there and limit the damage as much as possible, because the IRS has to remain functioning and dominant in their world.

RUSH: So, I was back in Kansas City for the weekend and George Brett's 60th birthday celebration. 

RUSH:  Be wary, folks, of any politician who talks about the Constitution and uses things like "I am constrained."  

RUSH: I know and you know that leftists are all activists. None of them are passive, particularly those in government, in any bureaucracy. They were not passive. They are there for activist reasons, and they are there to sabotage the right wing and Republicans and conservatives every which way they can.

RUSH: I wonder how the families of the four dead Americans react when they hear the president of the United States refer to this whole sordid affair as "a bump in the road," "a sideshow," and now "a political circus."

RUSH: The American public is woefully ignorant of things going on in America today. The American public is woefully uneducated. The American public is embarrassingly untold, embarrassingly uninformed -- and that's because of the terrible state of journalism.

RUSH: If this were true, there wouldn't be a Democrat Party. At least, if this were true, the Democrat Party wouldn't be winning elections.

RUSH: Why do I love this country every day? I love it every day because I have a chance. I have a golden opportunity here to tell people what I care about each and every day.

A high-ranking woman in the CIA was recently denied a promotion, a direct result of being too competent.

Bail for Ariel Castro, but Not Mohammed Video Maker... US Temps Drop 3 Degrees Over Last Year... WH: Unless You're a Native American, You Came from Someplace Else... Terry McAuliffe's War on Women...

RUSH:  You may not have heard about the Benghazi hearings, actually... In fact, at Yahoo News, which is a favored news site for low-information voters, they have one story on Benghazi. What they do, they basically publish the feeds from ABC and AP and Reuters, that's what they do in general... And the one story on Benghazi at Yahoo News has the headline:  "Democrats:  GOP Fails to Show Scandal in Benghazi Deaths."

RUSH:  I don't think the left intended this correlation. I think when they put this story out, "Gun crime is way down, so there's no reason for you to have a gun," was what they wanted to convey. 

RUSH: If you go by Bill, you're gonna earn more money than if you go by William. 

RUSH: There's also a move out there -- understandably in the Democrat Party, but within certain elements of the Republican Party -- to go after, discredit, and basically blow up the Heritage Foundation study on immigration and the cost of amnesty.

RUSH: I don't want to sit here and keep saying, "See, I told you so."  But your game of football is simply changing.  The idea that a politician would demand that a team explain its roster moves, just last year and beyond would not have been foreseeable. 

RUSH: That's the one thing that nobody knows. Where was Obama when four Americans were under assault and ultimately being killed? And there doesn't seem to be any curiosity inside official Washington. 

RUSH: It was almost four years ago to the day, May 12th of 2009, where I first posited the notion that the economy would recover on its own, despite Obama, because of you, because of people like you who are not just gonna sit here and take it.  May 12th of 2009 when I posited the idea that the people of this country will cause this economy to rebound, and guess whose policies will be credited for it? 

RUSH: The most important thing about Benghazi is to get it behind us and make Hillary Clinton the first female president of this country.
