BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I made mention of this yesterday. I'm going to treat it a little bit more seriously today than I did yesterday. This is Thursday, so it might have been Tuesday that I mentioned this, but you know, there's a play that is going to be opening on Broadway and concluding, well, somewhere in New York. I don't think they even found a theater for it yet, but it's timed to coincide with the Republican convention in New York City. And it's called, "I'm Going to Kill the President, a Comedy." Now, this comes on the heels of this great new literary novelette by Nicholson Baker, and I don't remember the title of it, but the sum total of this Novelette is two guys sitting around trying to figure out how they, or one of them, is explaining how he would assassinate Bush all because of Iraq.

Now, this "I'm Going to Kill the President" play is but the latest gesture of peace and love in the epicenter of liberalism, New York City. It's just another celebration of patriotism in New York City, another example of belief in diversity and something we're supposed to digest and ponder and contemplate and go, hmm, hmm, and think of the deep thoughts that the writers and the authors are trying to convey here. You've probably heard of the slippery slope. If you ever wanted to see an example of the slippery slope, you're witnessing how slippery the slope can get. The left has slipped from the politics of division, to the politics of personal destruction, to the politics of out and out hatred and now to the politics of killing, murdering, and assassinating the president. It's not just the kooks on the far left, it's the moderate kooks that don't denounce it, don't apologize for it, don't demand that it end. These people come out of the woodwork with all these hare-brained schemes and they don't get denounced by anybody. Compare that to the swift boat vets and what's happening to them. Now, I can imagine some of you saying, "Oh Rush, 'I'm Going to Kill the President', come on, it's only a play. It's an off Broadway play, nobody's going to see it. So what." Oh, I know, I know. And the book that discussed assassinating the president, that's only an off Broadway book, and nobody's really going to read it. We just have to be tolerant and understanding.

Well, let's check your tolerance here. Can you imagine if those, a-hem, free speech stickers, I'm Going to Kill the President, were posted not in New York City, but, oh, say up in Chappaqua, New York? Can you imagine what would be the reaction if there were I'm Going to Kill the President free speech stickers on cars in Chappaqua, New York? Can you imagine if somebody tried to rent a theater in Chappaqua, New York, and put on a little play called I'm Going to Kill the President in Chappaqua, New York? What would the reaction be? I don't need to tell you. So what am I, your esteemed host, supposed to do? Get down in the mud with these people? Suggest that Kerry ought to be killed just because he might win the election? Because, after all, is that not what these people are doing? Is that how we're supposed to respond to them? I can't do it, I wouldn't do it, it would never even cross my mind.


Maybe I could come up with a book. Maybe I could author a book under, of course, a nom de plume. The title of the book, "Suggested ways to blow up the Clinton massage parlor and library in Little Rock." How would that book be received, ladies and gentlemen? Well, those are the acts of desperate, deranged people, and I shall not join them. Truth is my mission, logic and reason are my weapons. I will continue to take the high ground as I analyze these leftists, these Bush-haters, these spoiled brat baby boomers who are taking lessons from their teenage and early twenties and making them formative life experiences when they were nothing but aberrations.

Now, the baby boomers are not an age-group. I mean demographically they are, but the baby boomers are actually a state of mind and the people who understand this stuff, it's not demographics, it's psychographics. The narcissism of the sixties has infected many and left them with a sense of self-importance that the world revolves around them. Anyway, back to my point. The Republicans are convening in New York City. In other words, New York is the host. New York will demonstrate its hospitality, or will they put the spit in ho-spit-ality as the Republicans come into town? The so-called demonstrators -- I got a note from a friend down in Miami yesterday, said what do you think we should look for at the convention? And I wrote her back, and I said, "Well, I don't think what goes on inside the Garden will get much coverage." She wrote back, "what do you mean, that's where the convention is." I said, well, you're missing the point.

What will probably get more coverage, or at least as much, is all the long-haired, dope-smoking, maggot-infested FM type protesters outside from Central Park all the way down to Madison Square Garden. And this will be shown as evidence of the hatred and the vile rejection for all of the Republicans that have dared infest this wonderful liberal Mecca called New York City. These demonstrators have been planning their demonstrations almost as long as Al-Qaeda cased the Citicorp building. The media has been salivating over these admonitions, will no doubt air and print schedules of where to go, when to go, what to see and who to see. But look beyond their hatred, my folks, my good friends, and focus on their narcissism, their self-importance. Get this, these protesters, I was reading the story today. They're not only demanding control over where they can protest and how long they can protest, they're demanding bottled water today. Yes -- (laughing) -- they're demanding the city provide them bottled water because protesting is such hard work.

Now, don't misunderstand. I have nothing against protesting. I've never done it. I have been the victim of it more than once, but I've never done it. Meantime, we're at war. For every eye that has to police the protesters, that's one eye less watching for terrorists. Do they care? No. Because they want everybody to hate the president. They hate the Republicans, they hate this, they hate that. Okay, we know it, we know it. Now what? You hate the president. You hate the country. You hate this and you hate that. Your hatred for whatever you hate is the most important thing in the world. How do you deal with these kinds of people, my friends? How do you deal with people who are driven and defined by their hatred?

I have no clue other than to ignore them. Maybe the Republicans could show up in a town and call themselves undocumented Republicans because undocumented is a word the left loves. No demonstrations, no bottled water, no Port-A-Potties, no distractions for peace officers because it's all undocumented Republicans coming into town so there's no reason to hate them. And since they're undocumented Republicans they might even get free health care, free prescription drugs, free food, clothing, and shelter, and whatever else they need while they're in town. At any rate, it's an amazing sight to behold. Just ask yourself, what would happen, ladies and gentlemen, if all of these "we've gotta get rid of Bush" plays and books were happening in Chappaqua and Little Rock?
