Your Weekly Rush - Not for those of you with Sensitive Stomachs

Rush has an opinion on what we Democrats need to do in response to the arrest of six potential terrorists in New Jersey.

If the Democrats are going to be consistent, they need to fight for these six, foreign-born Muslims who are under arrest for planning to slaughter our soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey. They've been fighting for the prisoners at Club Gitmo. They've been fighting for the prisoners at Abu Ghraib. They've had lawyers trying to defend all these people. They need to fight for these six. Democrats need to fight for these six, foreign-born Muslims. The plot was exposed, thanks to a store clerk.

. . . Now, if the Democrats are going to be consistent on this, they first ought to expose the store clerk. "We don't even know who this guy is. We don't know who the store clerk is, but he was obviously helping the Bush administration illegally spy and illegally spy domestically. He's obviously part of Bush's secret police, violating the civil rights of these six. This guy needs to be identified and put in jail. He's the perp. He's the problem here." If the Democrats are going to be consistent, this is what they must assert.

. . . Next, the Democrats ought to hunt down and persecute the authorities who arrested these Muslims. Well, if they're going to be consistent, this is what the Democrats must do. Not only have the authorities apparently racially profiled fine, upstanding members of our community, they've also questioned their undocumented status.

I have an opinion on Rush Limbaugh; he's a jackass.

Here's why; we are not fighting for prisoners or terrorists anyway. We are fighting for justice and constitutional rights for American citizens and justice and equitable treatment for non-citizens. That's hard for Rush to conceptualize because he's an idiot. But also because he doesn't understand that we have to protect the rights of the guilty right along side those of the innocent.
