BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I guess this is not gonna be surprising to some of you, but it happens. It happens after every Muslim terrorist attack. Every one! It happens after every one, and it has happened again. The mainstream news media -- and Ive got two stories, two examples. One is by the Bible of the left, the New York Times. Theyre very, very, very worried about a backlash against Muslims right here in our country. Yeah, and also theyre really, really worried about a backlash against Muslims in Paris. The same anti-Muslim backlash weve been hearing about for years, the same anti-Muslims backlash that has never happened. There has never been one. There wasnt one after 9/11 in this country. There wasnt one after Benghazi. There has never been an anti-Muslim backlash after any act of Muslim terror in this country, but an article in the New York Times manages to go even further than that. The Times has a 37-paragraph, 1,600-word story at the top of the front page with the headline: Dangerous Moment for Europe as Fear and Resentment Grow. But the dangerous moment in the New York Times headlines isnt a reference to the murder of a dozen French citizens by Muslim terrorists. No, no. The Times sees the dangerous moment as the opportunity that the right wing might resurface in France. Thats the dangerous moment that the New York Times is worried about. (mocking) A Muslims backlash? Oh, no! Thats the really bad thing that could happen. Oh, no! The French right wing could have a political resurgence because of this. Oh, no! Thats whats troubling American liberals today. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I kid you not, the New York Times, I have it right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. Dangerous Moment for Europe, as Fear and Resentment Grow. And you might think the New York Times would be talking here about the rising tide of militant, dangerous Islamic terrorism. And theyre not. Theyre very, very worried about the rise of the right in Europe. This is a dangerous moment for European societies, said Peter Neumann, director of the International Center for the Study of Radicalization at King’s College London. With increasing radicalization among supporters of jihadist organizations and the white working class increasingly feeling disenfranchised and uncoupled from elites, things are coming to a head. Dangerous moment in the New York Times headline is not referencing the murder of a dozen French citizens by Muslim terrorists. Nope. The dangerous moment is a chance that right-wing political parties could gain power by exploiting the stupid working classs groundless fears of Islam. Im telling the honest-to-God truth. Now, Ive said in the past that the greatest enemy in America today that the left and the media and the Democrat Party face, the Tea Party. They are more fearful or worried, driven crazy by conservatives and the Tea Party than they are by militant Islam. How many times have you heard me say that over the years? Quite a few. Heres the truth. Heres the evidence. Twelve people just slaughtered in France, a hundred thousand French citizens stood in solidarity. Do you know that the cops are not armed in Paris? I think throughout France. Well, that, too, of course was a gift to the politically correct. We cant arm the cops. That would just intimidate the criminals and make them even angrier. And thats the way politically correct thought goes. So the cops are unarmed. And so therefore are the citizens. Citizens are unarmed. Nobody had any way to stop what was happening. The cops couldnt have, didnt have guns. You saw the video of the cop pleading for his life. He was one of the cops killed. He was Muslim. He was shot dead. The cops are not even armed. Thats political correctness to the max for you. And in the face of all of that, the liberal bible in the United States is worried that all of this is gonna cause the stupid, contemptible middle class that doesnt really know enough to take care of itself, is gonna cause them to start supporting law-and-order right-wing political movements. Thats what has the New York Times worried. Dangerous moment for Europe. You Talk about satire. Hey, Conan, would you tell this joke? Cause this is a joke. Except that its true. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This New York Times story, there are actually two of these. Theres one thats worried about a backlash against Muslims. They write this story after every act of Muslim terror. After every act of militant Islamic terror they write this story. Theyre hand-wringing, theyre fretting over the backlash against Muslims, and there hasnt been one yet. Now, contrast that with the backlash against the cops that has been inspired and fomented by people like the New York Times. Grand juries render decisions and there is an immediate assault on the cops, theres an immediate attack on the cops. And these people are driven so insane by people like the civil rights leadership, they run out and murder a couple of cops sitting harmlessly in their patrol car. The New York Times blames the cops, and the New York Times may as well be the American left. Where was the concern for backlash against the cops after these grand jury decisions? Not only was there no concern about no backlash against the cops, there was tantamount encouragement for a backlash against the cops, and its ongoing. So theyre very worried about a backlash against Muslims that had nothing to do with the attack, and there has yet to be one in a civilized western country. There has yet to be one. And yet heres the New York Times insulting everybody in this country, everybody in the middle class, all the plebes, the bourgeois, you know, the know-nothing middle class, which, they happen to love them when they vote Democrat. But for the most part they think you in the middle class are a raging bunch of idiots and lunatics that dont really know anything, and you need to be saved from yourselves. Youre not responsible for your own health care cause you cant spend your own money the right way. Thats why they gotta tax more and more of it from you. I mean, this does kind of boggle my mind: Dangerous Moment for Europe, as Fear and Resentment Grow. Worried about average people in Europe turning to right-wing governments in the aftermath of this. And, by the way, the Times doesnt stop there. The New York Times even attacks Charlie Hebdo, the magazine. The New York Times says that the magazine was vulgar, sometimes commercially driven effort to offend every Islamic piety, including the figure of the Prophet Muhammad. And that their magazine and their humor, their vulgarity became a symbol of an aggressive French secularism that saw its truest enemy in the rise of conservative Islam in France. You note the juxtaposition of conservative next to Islam in the New York Times. Isnt that fascinating? Yesterday I happened to mention on this program the Financial Times and a signed editorial attacked the French magazine mercilessly. I mean, they went after them. It was so bad that the editors of the Financial Times, toward the end of the day yesterday, withdrew it and retracted it. Well, I dont think they retracted it, but they published an editorial that spoke for the entire publication condemning the earlier column by their signed op-ed columnist. I forget his name. But it was a typical blaming the magazine, making fun of Islam, it was vulgar, it was crude, just went too far. Maybe it did. But it still didnt justify this kind of reaction on the part of the militant Islamists. But nevertheless, the magazine now, its coming into the crosshairs of the New York Times because it became a symbol of an aggressive French secularism that saw its truest enemy in the rise of conservative Islam. Isnt that what the New York Times does, by the way? Couldnt the New York Times be described as a raucous, vulgar, sometimes commercially driven effort to offend every conservative piety, including the figure of, take your pick, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee. Do you think you would ever see the words our Lord and savior Jesus Christ in the New York Times? You wouldnt. But youll see the prophet Mohammed every other sentence. Youll hear the Drive-By Media in talking about this, it was very insulting to believers in the prophet Mohammed. The prophet Mohammed, the prophet Mohammed. Youll never hear the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Youll never hear our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. You wont see it in the Drive-By Media. You wont hear it in the Drive-By Media. No, cause its perfectly fine to offend them. In fact, you can win awards doing that. You can win plaudits doing that. You can get TV shows doing that. You can be one of Barbara Walters 10 most famous, fascinating people of the year if you do that. The Times doesnt seem to be concerned about offending the very large conservative population in this country. No, no, theyre worried about the conservative backlash against Islam thats never happened. END TRANSCRIPT
