Standing with Israel — and Bush — in NYC
Posted by Richard on July 17, 2006
I heard Pamela of Atlas Shrugs on Rush a few minutes ago (mid-afternoon; he’s on tape-delay here in Denver). She talked a mile a minute. Rush pleaded with her to slow down several times. Pamela had just come from the Stand with Israel rally in New York, and she was just bubbling over with excitement and enthusiasm. Apparently, tens of thousands attended. She’s got a post up with a zillion pictures and some video clips.
The big news item from the rally, the thing that had Pamela so excited when talking to Rush: Elie Wiesel thanked God for President Bush. People cheered. In New York City. 🙂
UPDATE: Pamela’s post has been updated with, among other things, the news that the transcript of her call is on Rush’s website. Check it out — she was terrific. Also, she has links to some LGF posts dealing with the crap at the DailyKos thread that she told Rush about.
Meanwhile, the AP story of the event mentioned Elie Wiesel, and even had a brief quote, but ignored the pro-Bush remark (what a surprise). The NYTimes version of the event might lead you to believe it was a Hillary Clinton rally. It never mentioned Wiesel.
UPDATE (7/20): You know, it just burns me up that this story has been completely ignored. If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Elie Wiesel is, Google him. On the subject of the Jews, their enemies, and their survival, this man probably has more moral authority than any person alive — and a Nobel Prize to back it up. And yet, a Google News search for "elie wiesel thank god bush" returned four hits — one from the Jerusalem Post, and three reposts of the same New York Post story (Google chooses not to index the New York Post itself as a news source). This is ridiculous and disgusting, and there’s no excuse other than political bias. There should have been headlines, dammit:
Elie Wiesel Thanked God for President Bush!
This man has moral authority, you Bush-hating moonbat asshats, and what he said should give you pause and cause you to rethink your sick, hate-filled worldview.
OK, I feel better now. I’m going to finish my Buffalo Trace and go to bed.
