El Rushbo, as the No. 1 Conservative Talk show host, much more accurate and studious than Sean Hannity, hits it on the head with taking apart a caller on open line friday. Here are excerpts from the transcript:CALLER: Basically from what I understand, it looks like what you're implicitly stating here is that countries like the UAE should receive the same consideration and credit than a country that shares our cultural history like Britain does --
RUSH: (sigh)
CALLER: -- hundreds, if not thousands of years of history with us, should receive the same credit, uh, for that, and be there we can enter --
RUSH: (sigh)
CALLER: -- into a port deal which --
RUSH: All right. You are on shaky ground. You're on shaky ground here, and I feel like reaching out and saving you before you sink in the quicksand.
CALLER: Now, why is that?
RUSH: Give me the "cultural similarities" between the United States and the communist Chinese who own ports in LA -- or terminals. They control the terminals in ports at both ends of the Panama Canal. Could you give me the cultural similarities to the country in Singapore that owns quite a few port operations, terminals or what have you? You know, once you start down this road that you're on, if you're going to be consistent, you have to kick everybody out of this country who poses any kind of a security risk based on these "cultural differences."
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: I know what you're saying: "We don't want Arabs running our ports, but it's not because they're Arabs."
CALLER: That's correct, and in order to --
RUSH: Do you realize what you just agreed to?
CALLER: It's not because of the fact that they're Arabs. If Britain all of a sudden --
RUSH: You heard it. I was conducting a little test. You heard it and you smack-dab right then agreed with it: "We don't want Arabs running our ports because it's not because they're Arabs."
CALLER: I think it's more of... Again, it's a cultural thing. If Britain subscribed to the same ideology and belief and had the same cultural history that they had, then, again, we would have to put them in the same category, but we can't do that.
RUSH: No. Okay, then we gotta be consistent. No longer can the United Arab Emirates fly airlines, airplanes, into our airports. Same thing with Saudi Arabia. No, no!
CALLER: I think that if the if they genuinely were an ally on the war on terror, that they would be more willing to respect the fact that at this point in our history that we're not comfortable with them representing our ports, and --
See the sheer xenophobia? This guy has drank the Hillary, Xenophobic Princess kool-aid, and it is a crying shame. El Rushbo illuminates us further:
The "cultural differences" that we have with the communist Chinese are profoun-d, literally profound, and yet nobody's making a move to get them out. I know they had nothing to do with 9/11, but that's not what you're saying. You're saying "cultural similarities," and what I think you're doing is dancing around the fact that, "We don't want Arabs running our ports, but it's not because they're Arabs." You want everybody to believe that. "We can't have Arabs running the ports. It's not because they're Arabs, though." Well, be very careful. Think about what you're saying here, because it's not persuasive. I understand the emotion. I've understood the emotion that the opponents of this have from the get-go, and I can understand genuine fear -- up to a point.
But after awhile, if you take the time to look at what this company was and is and where they are and how we interact with them already and have been for decades, years, whatever, at some point the emotion will subside, allowing the penetration of reason in a select few little dark gray cells in the cranium -- and that is going to happen as well.
It's all about the triumph of fearmongering democrats assisted by fearmongering self-serving hosts like Sean Hannity, a man who more and more reveals himself not to be "the best, most comprehensive" at just about anything he covers.
