Dear KLP, I don't listen to Rush AT ALL but hear about what he says through other sources..So I think it was last Thursday or Friday.. So just Google words like.. "rush limbaugh, elizabeth edwards, cancer, jump start campaign" And I think you might get an idea of what he said and when he said it.... Besides I thought the rwes do not like transcripts. :). Remember today in the WH press briefing, they do not want a transcript of the meetings between the AG, etal and Congressional committees.. :) And you are right, it is nobody's damn business except the Edward's family what they want to do about his campaign.. And it is the American people's business what they want to do about John Edwards being our president.. c

On the March 23 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh told listeners that former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) and his wife Elizabeth are “political people [who] are different than you and I.” Referring to the couple’s March 22 announcement that Elizabeth Edwards has Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, Limbaugh said: “[M]ost people when told a family member, when told a been diagnosed with the kind of cancer Elizabeth Edwards has, they turn to God. The Edwards turned to the campaign . Their religion is politics and the quest for the White house. Limbaugh later asked: “If you’re [Sen.] Barack Obama [D-IL] or Hillary Clinton [Sen.] [D-NY], how do you now attack John Edwards?” Limbaugh added: “Not a problem for Hillary, the Clinton [inaudible] will find a way. But Barack, it’s going to be a challenge.” As Media Matters for America noted, on the March 22 broadcast of his show, Limbaugh suggested that the Edwards presidential campaign intentionally “leak[ed]” false information—that Edwards would “suspend” his campaign because his wife’s cancer had recurred—to Politico reporter Ben Smith in order “to jump-start the campaign.”

Here you are: "RUSH: Interesting point. Now, let me say something else that might be accused of cynicism. What is their religion? I don't doubt they're "religious people," but we talked about how political people are different than you and I -- and, you know, most people when told a family member's been diagnosed with the kind of cancer Elizabeth Edwards has, they turn to God. The Edwards turned to the campaign. Their religion is politics and the quest for the White House. It's not just with them. That's part and parcel of political people. " mediamatters.org Rush is careful now...because he did himself a heck of a lot of damage casting aspersions on the quality of the religious life of the Edwards' family. Let us find an appropriate biblical quote... "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thy say to thy brother, "Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?" Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye." Unfortunately I'm not aware of a passage about hypocrites trying to behold imaginary motes. I'm sure there is one, but I don't know it.
