RUSH: This from Chris Matthews last night on his — well, it wasn’t Hardball, it was his election coverage on PMSNBC.
MATTHEWS: The body language of the two is so different. You have this very wasp-y fellow, Lamont, very calm, very casual, very St. Paul’s almost in the prep school sense, Lieberman of course is the schmaltzy ethnic guy, the Uncle Tonoose, you know, the guy that’s very much kind of lachrymose in his almost postnasal drip voice of his, but he doesn’t look happy.
RUSH: All right, now, “the schmaltzy ethnic guy, the Uncle Tonoose,” And as I said the last hour, Uncle Tonoose was a character on the old Danny Thomas show, and I think I’m pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tonoose is played by Hans Conried, huge hook nose and so forth. Here’s Matthews describing — let’s be honest about this, folks; let’s just put it out there. When you say somebody “is a schmaltzy ethnic guy,” you’re not talking about an Arab. You’re talking about a Jew. You just described somebody as a schmaltzy ethnic guy who has postnasal drip with his voice, lachrymose and so forth. Uncle Tonoose, in character, was a Lebanese Arab.
Danny Thomas was a Christian Lebanese, and Uncle Tonoose therefore, was portraying an Arab. But isn’t it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab as a Jew, on the basis of appearance, schmaltzy ethnic guy. You know, there are some people saying this, but their dancing around it, but one of the little — or not often discussed aspects of the kook fringe base of the Democratic Party, I’m just going to put it out there, is anti-Semitism. There is so much anti-Semitism today in the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
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
(00:21):
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
(00:42):
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
(01:06):
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
(01:29):
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
(01:53):
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
(02:16):
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
(02:39):
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
(02:59):
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
(03:22):
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
(03:45):
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
(04:06):
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
(04:26):
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
(04:47):
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.
(05:07):
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
(05:29):
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
(05:50):
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,
(06:11):
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
(06:33):
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
(06:53):
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
(07:16):
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
(07:36):
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
(07:57):
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
(08:18):
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
(08:39):
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
(09:00):
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
(09:24):
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
(09:45):
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
(10:07):
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
(10:27):
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
(10:51):
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,
(11:14):
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,
(11:35):
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
(11:57):
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.
This from Chris Matthews last night on his Uh Well,
I wasn't hard ball, it was his election coverage on

You have this very waspy fella Lamont, very calm, very casual,
