September 9, 2008







BEGIN TRANSCRIPT







RUSH: Kurt in Pittsburgh , hello, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB



Network, and how about the Steelers defense?







CALLER: How about those Steelers, huh?







RUSH: How about that?







CALLER: Hey, listen, Rush, longtime listener, first-time caller, one of



those Bible, family, gun clingers from western Pennsylvania .







RUSH: Thank you.







CALLER: And I wanted to share a story with you. A week ago last



Saturday we went to the Palin-McCain rally in Washington , Pennsylvania



, was the day after he announced her, and we have a five-year-old



daughter with Down syndrome, and we made a sign that said: 'We Love Kids



with Down Syndrome.' So when they pulled in in their bus the sign did



catch their, McCain and Palin and the rest of their family, it caught



their eye, we could tell, they gave us a thumbs-up from the bus, so we



were all excited just by that --







RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. Who gave you the thumbs up, McCain and Palin?







CALLER: McCain, Palin, Cindy McCain, we could see them from the bus. We



were in a position where we had eye contact with them --







RUSH: Oh, cool!







CALLER: My wife was holding our daughter.







RUSH: Very, very, very cool.







CALLER: It was really cool, Rush. I was like, 'Wow, that's awesome,'



because I love Governor Palin and so I thought that's really neat. So



then we moved around as the bus was getting ready to pull out, we kind



of positioned ourselves so we could just wave them on and a Secret



Service agent came up to us and said, 'Hey, can you come with us?' I



was like, 'Do we have a choice?'







RUSH: (laughing) You shouldn't have worried. It's not the Clinton



administration.







CALLER: Right. So we accompanied them up the hill, we went right to the



bus, where it was, and Governor Palin, Senator McCain, Cindy, Todd



Palin, they're all standing there. We're in this inner circle with just



us and them, and the Secret Service agent, and they came right up to us



and thanked us for coming out, said they loved our sign, and Governor



Palin immediately said, 'May I hold your daughter?' and our daughter



Chloe, who's five, went right to her, and I have some pictures I'd love



to send you maybe when I'm done here, but Governor Palin was hugging



Chloe, and then her little daughter brought their baby Trig who has Down



syndrome from the bus, he was napping, and Chloe went right over and



kissed him on the cheek, and my son Nolan who's nine, he thanked her.







RUSH: This is amazing.







CALLER: I will send you all the stuff, Senator McCain was talking to my



son, and we thanked him for his service, and he asked my son if he



wanted to see the bus, and we were hanging out and it was very surreal.



I felt like we could have had a pizza and a beer with them, they were so



warm.







RUSH: You know what? I want to put you on hold. I want Snerdley to give



you our super-secret, known-only-to-three-people here, e-mail address.







CALLER: I will send you everything, Rush.







RUSH: And then could you send us these pictures? Would you mind if we



put them on the website?







CALLER: I would be honored, and my main thing is they are warm, kind,



genuine people, and they represent the best of thi

I was listening to the show that day. It was even better on the radio. I think God gives special people the very special kids. Thanks for posting this Tee.

[Randy Walls]

Too cool. Glad they kinda did it away from the media instead of trying sensationalize something like this. Shows true people there!



Randy!

 

[Greg Meyer]

Thank you... You just "know" she is as genuine as she looks and acts...

 

[Eddie Payne]

Wow, thanks for sharing.

 

[firedog978]

That is truly special. It shows just how real these candidates' intentions are (by doing this away from the media cameras).

Thank you so much for sharing this; especially the pictures.

Thanks for posting this Tommy. Politics aside, more people need to see that these children are joyful, interactive, very playful, and extremely lovable, regardless of circumstance or companion. They truly exhibit an almost unattainable achievement in humanity; unconditional love.



Thanks again!
