RUSH: Bill in Cleveland, I’m glad you called and welcome to the program, sir.
CALLER: Hi, Rush.
RUSH: Yes.
CALLER: Honor to talk to you.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: Yeah, I got two of your Club G’itmo T-shirts yesterday and promptly wore them out of the house and about four hours later I was coming out of a Starbucks when I was assailed by an enraged liberal.
RUSH: What happened?
CALLER: He kind of lingered around after he got his beverage outside the store. When I came out, he came up to me and was glaring and said that Guantanamo Bay is a concentration camp.
RUSH: (Laughing.)
CALLER: He was wearing a yarmulke so he was obviously Jewish, and my mother is Jewish, too. I looked at him and I said, “I can’t believe you would even say that, comparing air-conditioning, special diet, prayer materials, and five times a day to pray, to what happened in the concentration camps.”
RUSH: What did he say to that?
CALLER: He had nothing to say to that. And I looked at him, I said, “You know, what I can’t understand is the three icons of the liberal party are FDR, JFK, and Clinton, and FDR put tens of thousands of American citizens in internment camps and nobody says anything about that.”
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: And he still couldn’t say anything. It was hilarious. These things are definitely going to stir up some ire.
RUSH: Well, I’m glad that you had the courage to face this guy… at a Starbucks! But see, you’ve got the courage to face the guy with facts. I’ve never been to Starbucks. Do liberals go to Starbucks or does everybody go to Starbucks? (asking staff) Okay, everybody goes, so you can find liberals since everybody goes there. So maybe this is a good place to go once you get your Club G’itmo T-shirts, go to a Starbucks. What does your Club G’itmo T-shirt say, Bill?
CALLER: The one I was wearing yesterday was, “Your tropical retreat from the stress of jihad.”
RUSH: (Laughing.)
CALLER: He could not deal with it, and then, “I listen to Rush Limbaugh.” I had the facts at my fingertips. When I hit him up with that he was just stunned. He couldn’t say anything, just shook his head and walked away.
RUSH: Oh, oh, oh, that must have done it when you told him you listened to me. Did this informed and erudite liberal have any idea where the Club G’itmo T-shirt came from?
CALLER: Of course, it says www.RushLimbaugh.com on the back.
RUSH: Well, I know, but did he see that?
CALLER: Yes, he did.
RUSH: He saw that before he reacted.
CALLER: Right before he confronted me.
RUSH: Bill? (Laughing.)
CALLER: These are going to be fun. I’ve already ordered my third shirt and a hat and a coffee mug. In fact, I’ll be drinking my Starbucks out of the coffee mug as soon as it arrives.
RUSH: Yes, I was going to suggest that! (Laughing) Take the Jihad Java coffee mug into Starbucks with your Club G’itmo T-shirt. All right, Bill, thanks much. Bill, I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I want you to hang on. I’m going to send you the fourth — whatever shirt you wanted, you say you just ordered your third one, did you say?
CALLER: I’m going to.
RUSH: Okay, well, hang on. Don’t do it, and we’ll send you one. I’m going to send you one as a gift.
CALLER: Thank you.
RUSH: Do you have a coffee mug yet or not?
CALLER: I ordered that, yeah.
RUSH: Okay. All right. Well, I’ll send you another one of those in case some liberal breaks it in Starbucks, so you can have a backup. So hang on here, we’ll get all your information necessary to get the T-shirt. You pick the one you want, the size, and the Jihad Java mug will also be on its way to you. That’s Bill in Cleveland with our first reported encounter of a Club G’itmo T-shirt in Cleveland at Starbucks with a liberal.
