Rush: Attacks by Democrats 'Totally Coordinated'
The Democratic Party's handwringing over the unfolding scandal involving former Rep. Mark Foley is part of a carefully coordinated attack designed to help the Democrats this coming election.
That's the verdict of the nation's top talker, Rush Limbaugh.
During Monday's show, and on his Web site, rushlimbaugh.com, Rush suggested that the Foley scandal was part of a larger effort by the "Clinton War Room" to hurt the GOP's chances just weeks before election day.
Limbaugh said the Democrats "do not find what Mark Foley did to be repugnant at all."
Limbaugh recalled that they "have defended such behavior in the past, and they have gone out of their way to see to it that those who have engaged in such behavior might have been reprimanded and so forth in a perfunctory way, but aside from [ex-New Jersey Governor] McGreevey they all hang on — Barney Frank, Gerry Studds, a number of these people.
"They don't find what he did repugnant, and you don't find one concern for the children. And we still to this day do not know what Foley actually did, if he ever met any of these pages, if he ever touched one of them, it's merely an instant message and e-mail scandal." Rush, however, raised serious suspicion about the timing of the Foley scandal, as news reports indicate media saw some of Foley's e-mails as early as last November and that explicit instant messages were written some three years ago. "The attacks are totally coordinated," Rush concluded. "Sunday afternoon Harry Reid sent out a demand for the attorney general to investigate the Foley scandal. That was after the DNC sent out a demand asking why Tom Reynolds covered up Congressman Foley's so-called sex crimes.
Story Continues Below "Then this organization called C.R.E.W. has called for the House to appoint an outside counsel to investigate the Foley scandal. Then Democracy 21 called on the House Ethics Committee to appoint an outside counsel to investigate House Republican leaders and their handling of the Foley scandal.
"This is a pure coordinated assault, and I'm going to tell you what I think is going on. I think the Clinton war room is back up in full speed. How long has this Foley stuff been known by people?" Rush asked. Rush noted that Foley is not the only Republican being targeted by the Clinton war room. He cited the case of the New York Republican candidate for state attorney general, Jeanine Pirro, who is being investigated for allegedly wanting to bug her husband's boat.
"The situation with Jeanine Pirro in New York, now all of her financial records have been subpoenaed by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan," Rush explained.
"Tell you what I think about that just as a little aside.
"I actually think they got to Jeanine because they're bugging [former New York City police commissioner and Rudy Giuliani associate] Bernard Kerik. And I think they were bugging Bernard Kerik to get Rudy.
"I think they were bugging Bernard Kerik to find out some dirt on Rudy, because the Clinton war room strategy and the whole Bill and Hillary political strategy is not just to defeat your political opponents, but destroy them."
Rush continued: "And so Foley is here being destroyed; DeLay was destroyed, not merely defeated; George Allen, they're attempting to destroy; Jeanine Pirro they're attempting to destroy. It's a pattern. And of course the willing accomplices in the drive-by Media are just salivating over this.
"You wonder why George Allen is being destroyed on the front page of The Washington Post for two to three weeks while racial epithets uttered by his opponent go practically unnoticed? "It's a campaign. The Clinton war room is in full speed operation. They cannot afford to lose this election and '08."
"Meanwhile, while all this is going on, Congressman William Jefferson [Democrat-Louisiana] will vote for the next speaker of the House after the elections. He's not going anywhere. Pelosi did ask him to resign, but he said, 'Nope, not going anywhere,' and they didn't push."
Limbaugh suggested the Democrats, unable to debate the Republicans on the issues, are on the "warpath" to build voter "hate" against the GOP and President Bush.
The talkmeister also didn't see the release of Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" — harshly critical of the Bush administration, as an accident.
"Woodward even admits his objective was not to get the truth out, his objective was to get the book out prior to the elections. And he's done that."
"Remember, they can't possibly find what Foley did repugnant. They have defended it before when on their side. On the other hand you've got Bob Livingston and Newt and a list of others who resign over such things the left celebrated for such things."
