This from Chris Matthews last night on his Uh Well, I wasn't hard ball, it was his election coverage on p MSNBC. The body language of the two is so different. You have this very waspy fella Lamont, very calm, very casual, very st Paul's almost in the prep school sense, labor. And of course there's the small c ethnic guy, the Uncle Tanous. You know, the guy that's very much he kind of lachrymose and his most almost post nasal drip voices. But he doesn't look happy. All right. Now, Uh, let's
look the smalty ethnic guy, the Uncle Tanus. And as I said in the last hour, Uncle Tanous was a character on the old Danny Thomas Show. And I think pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tanus is played by Hans Cunried, huge hook nose and so forth. The and here's here's Matthews describing. Let's let's be honest about this, folks. Let's just put it out there. When you say somebody is a smalty ethnic guy, you're not talking about an Arab,
You're talking about a Jew. You describe somebody as a schmaltzy ethnic guy who is uh pulse nasal drip with his voice lachrymose and so forth. Uncle to nous in character was a Lebanese Arab, Danny Thomas was a Christian Lebanese uh and and uncle to Noose therefore, But isn't it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab as a as as a Jew on the on the basis of appearance, Uh, schmaltzy ethnic guy, which I you know, there are some people saying this, but they're dancing around it.
But one of the little are not often discussed aspects of the Kuk fringe base of the Democratic Party. I'm just gonna put it out there, is its anti semitism. There is so much anti semitism today in the Democratic Party. Uh, it is, it is. I don't think it's an accident that Sharpton and the Reverend docs are up there standing behind Lamont during lamonts and but what's calm about Lamont?
When I listened to these Lamont remarks from his acceptance speech last night, I hear somebody assist a couple of octaves and a couple of decibel levels before below Howard Dean. Uh. Yeah, the only is missing is the scream. It is calm uh waspy fellow, very calm, casual, very St. Paul in a prep school sense. That's a way to relate to most of America. Chris St. Paul, What the hell? St. Paul?
It was a person. St. Paul wants it's a prep school. Well, how many Americans actually go to prep school, particularly in the Northeast. That's this little bit, little bit of a of a sidebar. Sort of fascinating, isn't it that In the two thousand presidential campaign, nobody at MSNBC, Chris Matthews, nobody else described Senator Lieberman as uncle to Noose, as a Schmalsey ethnic guy. Isn't it amazing? So you go from uncle to Noose to Uncle Tom in six years
in the Democratic Party. Welcome back, folks, to eight to l rush Ball on a roll mark in Bethesda, Maryland, your next, sir, Nice to have you with us. Good afternoon, Russia. I am a speck of red in a sea of blue, um Jewish Republican here, and I want to thank you for your for your continuing support of Israel. Thank you, sir, You're welcome. I think it's it's scary for all of my Democratic friends here that just don't get it, especially with this Lieberman um result yesterday. The party has been
taken over. Their party has been taken over by people that are anti Israel, as in Cindy Sheehan and Sorrows, who happens to be a self hating Jew, they hey, it Israel, they hate Jews, their terrorism deniers. And I just I just hope it's a wake up called to the Jewish people that are out there. Is that still the best party for them? Yeah, doubt that that's going to happen. It's going to take a little bit more
than this. The the the the seat of this anti Semitism right now is focused in Kok's Uh like she Han and Uh and and the blogs and the move on dot org people in Soros. And I'll tell you if you if you read letters to the editor from newspapers, which I do, and this is part of the show. I love reading letters to the editor. Have you ever written letters to the editor New York Times, you may
as well be reading one of these cook blogs. And and many of these people that write these letters are apparently Jewish, and they echo the same sentiments that that the she hands echo and say, okay, what is it that's the unifying force here? And it's hatred for Bush. And it's not hatred for Arabs. It's not hatred for Amadinazad or they has. It's hatred for Bush. It's uh, I don't know what's gonna you know, it's I could say the same thing about the black population this country.
When are they gonna wake up and understand the party they've been supporting does nothing but take them for granted and doesn't offer them any real solution. It just uses them. Uh it. I just don't see it happening. I think it's one of the most uh covered up aspects of what's happening to the Democratic Party is how anti Semitic uh and anti Israel uh, the the apparent movers and shakers and that party are. And Lieberman's a living testament
to it. I mean, let's be honest. Let me ask you, Mark, I mean you you you you said your Republican Jew. How much do you think Lieberman owes his defeat to the fact that he's just Jewish at this point in time? I don't know. With with the with the way that party is being being taken over, probably some because remember the last summer. What Cindy she hadn't said about Israel, so probably some of it. Uh what did she say?
I've refreshed my memoir. It's a here's the quote. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorists. So again, blame America, blame Israel. Yeah, exactly, Okay, that's that's uh, that's true. Well in fact, uh, speaking of blame America, blame Israel, let me give you a little thanks. Thanks Mark for the for the phone call. I appreciate it. There's a guy named Lawrence Right who is a staff writer for New Yorker, the New Yorker magazine.
He's got a new book out and the book is called The Looming Tower, which he calls quote a bid to understand and explain the rise of Islamic extremism, and in an interview with Al Reuters the fake War photo guys Um, Lawrence Wright explains that American authors and filmmakers haven't done enough to blame America for nine eleven. Here's
a quote. I feel like it's been a great failure of our artists and our writers that we haven't done a better job at looking at ourselves and how we are and how our own behavior to some extent, contributed to this tragedy. Our behavior, yep. According to Right, Americans lost sight of our core values, especially the rule of law and a code of decency. In other words, we not the terrorists. We lack values, and we lack decency
and respect for the rule of law. And oh yeah, the Islamic world perceives a pro Israel bias in our Middle East policies. So it's not just kooks like Cindy Sheehann and the others. Here's a New Yorker magazine. He could very well be a cook, uh, blaming us for our and our association with with Israel. He said, when Bin Laden attacked America, he was posing two questions to us. One is what's America and what does it stand for? The other is what is Islam and what does it
stand for. I'm not making this up. This guy's got a book out and it's all about how we're to blame and our enough artists and writers blaming America doing articles, stories, movies, what have you blaming America? The only question, I mean, you rational person would ask or associate with the Bin Lawden was whether we had the resolve to wipe his evil off the face of the earth, because he didn't
think that we have that resolve anymore after Mogadishu. Is why he did this, because he thought he could get away with it, and so he was under the impression that we were cowardly, we wouldn't take casualties, and he could get away with this. Now, these blue state Lamont liberals don't have the will to do that. They don't have the will to wipe evil off the face of the earth because they think we're it. They think we are the evil. They blame us and Israel while doing
everything they can to understand terrorists. They don't even have the sense to know that we're at war. And if they admit that we're at war, they don't have the sense to admit who the enemy he is because they consider us their own country to be the enemy. So when you when you say, what's it gonna take for certain groups to wake up and uh and smell the coffee? I frankly, uh, you know they're they're they're the certain people are liberals are liberals first. Others are what they
are first? Uh, And the common enemy that they've always had is going to remain the common enemy. But I just I don't think there's any question about the fact that that one of Lieberman's one of the one of the um should I say, one of the factors in his defeat was the fact that he's just Jewish right now.
And you if you, if you, if you go to these blogs, if you spend any time reading them and the move on dot orgs and so forth, you'll find some some of the most anti Semitic stuff on the face of the earth that you've ever read, and anti Israel stuff that you have ever read. Marvin and Detroit. I'm glad you called. Welcome to the E I B Network. Hello, Yeah, I Rush Mega Detroit, Tiger Dittos the beautiful blue state
of Michigan. Thank you, sir, Hey Rush. I was just wondered, what do you think, you know, if Lieberman does run as an independent, what's the chances maybe a Republican sneaking in there? And if if they do, when is the is a simple majority in the election? Yeah, but it won't happen. Uh. The I think if Lieberman runs is an independently, the Republicans might try to get a Republican in their two run just to uh, you know, cause problems. I don't think the Republicans could sneak in that that's
too blue at state that that that state is. Um. I mean I don't even I'm not sure it would be competitive. And if if it were a Republican to be a Lowell Wiker type, you may as well have a Democrat be I'd be a link Chafe type. Uh that would that would win in in Connecticut run Who will run for the Republicans? Who will in Connecticut? I have no clue. I only know in uh now they have had elected they they they've elected Republican governors. I mean it's it's uh. I mean, it's not impossible. Nothing
nothing is and you know it's it's still early. I mean, as we know, things happen at a breakneck pace in politics, and they're always as most things in the future are unpredictable, um and anything, anything could happen here. I don't want to lock myself into saying that no Republican could win.
The Republicans aren't gonna nominate anybody. I in fact, I think, um, the the thing you look at as far as Republicans are concerned in Connecticut is how does this end up helping Republican congressional incumbents holding like Chris Shays and UH and Rob Simmons UH. This result no question boosts their chance of holding on to their districts, and they're vulnerable right now. According to polling data, the Democrats have to win these two seats in Connecticut if they have any
chance of taking back the House. This result I think helps these two Republicans hold onto their seats.
