Rush: Dems Claim To Be for ‘Little Guy,’ But Defend PP

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh criticized Democrats for defending Planned Parenthood while claiming to be the party of “the little guy” on Friday.

Rush said of the videos, “The White House says nothing to see here. Hillary Clinton says she’s troubled by the videos. Nancy Pelosi, praising the, whatever she described Planned Parenthood as being, a great, compassionate organization. Selling these body parts, the lie, for medical research. And yet, there isn’t one medical advancement that any of the people responsible for this can point to and say, ‘Look what we’ve done! Look at the advances that we’ve made!’ It’s purely for money and profit. It’s barbaric beyond any ability I have to describe it. I’ve waited. Two weeks, three weeks have gone by. There’s no room for equivocation on this. There’s no room for, ‘Well, what if there’s something we don’t understand here?’ There’s no room for that. This is as –clear-cut depravity, murder. And that human beings are doing this to one another, and claiming that people who oppose this, somehow, are conducting a War on Women, or are unaware and unfeeling of another person’s rights? Are you serious? Seriously, are we to be told, are we to believe, that the people doing this procedure and this extraction, they’re the ones that have the monopoly on human rights? And that those of us who are repulsed by this, we’re the ones that don’t care about human rights?”

Rush later added, “the same people who have their hearts melted over cruelty to animals, seem unmoved, at all, by this. And in fact, if you make this analogy and comparison, they attack you, for making the analogy, and not being sophisticated enough to understand what’s really going on here. Well, if this is sophistication, if you have to be sophisticated to properly understand what’s going on here, then who wants it? All I know is, that’s not what this country used to be. These are not our values. ‘This is not who we are,’ as the president loves to say.

Rush concluded, “there is a large, functioning, intact political entity doing everything it can to make sure this does not damage its political agenda. And this party claims to care about little people. This party claims to care about the defenseless. This party claims, the Democrats, they claim to be bonding, and at one with the innocent and the helpless and the poor, the little guy. Look what they’re doing, to the essence of the little guy, the essence of the poor, the essence of the defenseless. Look at what they’re doing, and look what they’re doing to make excuses for it. And then taxpayer dollars are used to pay for this.”
