Well Rush was talking about the George Tenet Testimony yesterday, and he got one of his few liberal callers. Rush is careful to screen out any intelligent liberals with good arguments, so the liberals who do show up on his show are usually nitwits. This person made the point that George Tenet has had 5 years since being appointed by Clinton to rebuild the CIA. Rush explained Liberals' true feelings about the CIA.
"The correct answer is he shouldn't be rebuilding the CIA. We hate CIA. The CIA is the focus of evil and the CIA is why we're in trouble, we've got to get rid of the CIA and the reason we've got to get rid of the CIA is because of this Iraq debacle. This is what a true good liberal would really say if he were telling the truth. You don't call here and start defending the CIA. You don't call here and defend Clinton and the CIA. You don't do that. You're denying us who you really are. And I'm just not going to let it happen. You people got psychological problems, I'm going to try to help you."
Luckly for us all, Rush is an even bigger nitwit than his caller. Let's break this down.
1. Liberals hate the CIA and want it destroyed.
Truth: Many liberals do feel ambivelant towards the CIA, but few serious liberals want to see it destroyed.
2. If a Liberal defends the CIA he is denying who he is.
Truth: Only if you accept the first premise.
3. Liberals have psychological problems.
Truth: Huh? Don't I remember the old Soviet Union using supposed mental disorder as a means to get rid of people they didn't like? I would think Rush would not want to emulate the Soviet Union, but perhaps I've misjudged him.
Anyway I personally like the CIA although I do want to see it reformed in some areas.
