As your people know, I uh am from the state of Missouri.
Some people say Missouri, but whatever.
I and my family have always said Missouri.
So I happen to know a lot of things going on in my home state.
And one of the things I happen to know that's going on in my home state is that at the University of Missouri this week, it is Asian Awareness Week.
You think the students are aware.
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, Limbo Time on the radio, telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
All right.
It just happened.
Just the top of the hour.
I'm watching Fox.
And some high school kid in St. John's, Florida, at Bartram Trail High School, has been arrested for a plot to kill 100 students.
This kid wanted to make a name.
This this kid wanted to beat the record.
This kid wanted to live in infamy.
Now, St. John's, Florida, where is that?
Somewhere between so it's say it's Jacksonville.
St. John's County is the name.
Okay, St. John County, Florida, which is near Jacksonville.
And the uh the schools of Bartram Trail Hascruel, a student there arrested for a plot to uh kill 100 students.
Now, this is not the fault of the NRA.
It's not the fault of George W. Bush.
It is not the fault of Charlton Heston, nor is it the fault of talk radio.
Uh here's the soundbite the Virginia State Police Chief.
Steve Flaherty held a press conference today.
You know, we played these press conferences.
In fact, Mike, uh, you know, wise thing to do here would be to go back to our archives.
Let's uh go to audio soundbite number three.
This is late yesterday after my program, Steve Flaherty, the Virginia State Police Chief.
NBC News in uh New York.
Received correspondence that we believe uh to have been from Cho Song Choi.
The gunman is responsible for the fatal shootings in Norris Hall.
The correspondence included multiple photographs, video, and writings.
Upon receipt of this correspondence, NBC News immediately notified authorities.
And I certainly want to commend NBC News for what they've done, the way that they've secured this information, the way they've handled it with dignity.
That was yesterday.
This morning, the same man, Virginia State Police Chief Steve Flaherty, held a press conference and said this.
We're rather disappointed in the editorial decision to broadcast these disturbing images.
I'm sorry that you were all exposed to these images.
Chief, how uh how can you apologize?
You can't apologize for NBC.
Now NBC is, you know, they're out there saying, ah, we gave this stuff over to law enforcement, we had communications with them and but obviously they made copies of the stuff before they turned it over to the authorities.
Law enforcement down in uh in Virginia.
So I just wanted to share that uh with you.
And Drudge just posted uh what is this?
It's uh Well it's a preview of what's coming up on 60 minutes.
Rep on Sunday rap star Cameron says there's no situation, including a serial killer living next door, that would cause him to help the police in any way, because to help the police would hurt his music sales and violate his code of ethics.
Cameron, his real name is Cameron Giles, talks to Anderson Cooper for a report on how the hip hop culture's message to shun the cops has undermined efforts to solve murders across the uh across the country.
Quote is if I knew the serial killer was living next door to me, hypothetical question was posed to him, I wouldn't call and tell anybody on him.
I'd probably move, but I'm not gonna call and be like oh the serial killers in 4E.
Now what is what is this a representative?
You can't Don, are you not believing that?
Your kids listen to rap.
Do they like it?
Good.
Uh this has a name.
This is the anti-snitch movement.
And the anti-snitch movement, it's not really a movement, but it is.
I mean, they don't call it, but there's an anti-snitch movement out there, and it's a code of honor.
You snitch, and you are dead.
You are and it's it's really nothing new.
Uh it's existed in crime gangs for I don't know how long.
Uh and here now it's it's being made uh public by this this uh rap star Cameron.
No situation he'd helped cops.
Why it damages rep. It damages street cred.
It would damage his um reputation, it damages business, damage his sales.
By the way, uh NBC, this is this is from a uh blog that that covers television news.
Uh NBC is trying to make it plain that uh only ten percent of their airtime uh has gone to this shooter in his package that he sent to them.
Only 10%.
Yeah, well, only 10%.
Only 10%.
NBC's instituted a policy about the usage of the gunman video on NBC's we w news.
We will limit the use of the video to 10% of our airtime, translating to no more than six minutes per hour on MSNBC spokesman says.
So they're reigning themselves in here.
They're gonna reduce it down down to 10%.
So only 10% of their airtime for murderers, 10% of the airtime for murderers, 0% of their airtime for minority hosts.
We are running our poll at Rushlimbaugh.com.
It's been up since two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
And the question is which MSNBC anchor should resign to make room for a minority host.
Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann or Tucker Carlson.
Here are the results as we have them.
Uh 49% for Chris Matthews, 47% for Olberman, and 4% for uh Tucker Carlson.
New York Times today headline, it's a column by Barbara Oakley from Rochester, Michigan, The Killer in the Lecture Hall.
Couple of excerpts.
Sometimes I wish I had an armament.
Though, like Virginia Tech, my university doesn't allow firearms on campus.
I wished that, because not only did Rick attach love cockroaches to my door and live across the hall from my office and possess a small armory, but Rick watched me all the time.
Sometimes he followed me out to my car just to make sure I was safe.
When I complained about Rick to the Dean of Students, I was told there was nothing to be done.
After all, students have rights too.
Only after appealing to that dean's boss and calling a raft to fellow professors who had also come to fear Rick's strange behavior, was I able to convince the administration to take grudging action.
They restricted his ability to loiter in certain areas, and they began nudging him toward the classes that he needed to uh to graduate.
Now, Rick is is just some student at uh at the university where she teaches.
She has an interesting close in this piece.
Most of the broad social lessons we are being told we must learn from the Virginia Tech shootings have little to do with what allowed the horrors to occur.
This is Amount Evil, and how our universities are able to deal with it as a literary subject, but not as a fact of life.
Evil is dealt with in the abstract, but it is not dealt with as a fact of life.
Can administrators and deans really continue to leave professors and other college personnel to deal with deeply disturbed students on their own with only pencils in their defense.
This is uh uh Barbara Oakley, professor of engineering at Oakland University, the author of the forthcoming book, Evil Genes, Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron failed, and my sister stole my mother's boyfriend.
Well, that could be a country Western song title as well.
So she's uh she's upset.
She had a stalker, couldn't do anything about it.
His students have rights too.
That's what her administration dean said.
Students have rights too.
And she's finally figured it out.
Yeah, we sit here, we talk about evil in the abstract all the time, but we are not teaching anybody to deal with it in real life.
In fact, I would venture to say they're not even teaching that there is evil.
Other than, of course, George W. Bush.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
I'll tell you, I am I am I'm reaching the boiling point about all of this coarsening of the culture garbage that the left is accusing people like me and Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity and others of committing on talk radio and so forth.
Let me some of the most vile hatred is expressed in this country by the drive-by media at our president, at our military, by their blogs and by their talk show hosts.
Some of the most it is they who write books and do movies on assassinating our president.
It is they who are constantly trying to undermine this country's cohesiveness.
They are they are doing things to keep us constantly in tumult and chaos.
Everything is doom and gloom.
They are lying through their teeth about global warming.
They are trying to set us up for tax increases to assuage our sin and guilt for destroying the planet.
If there's anybody out there that's coursening the culture, it is making a mockery of modern day journalism by committing journalistic malpractice.
The assaults that have occurred on George W. Bush, both in books, in movies in terms of his assassination and the never ending verbal drumbeat that has come ever since he was inaugurated, dwarfs anything that is taking place on the right.
By far, it is not even close.
These people are Stalinists, they cannot stand an opposing point of view in their midst, and so they come up with policies and programs that are designed to discredit or silence people they don't want to hear.
They hate debate because to them there is no debate.
There is no alternative to their sick, perverse view of human nature and life.
And in way too many cases, their sick, perverse view of this country.
If you listen to the left in this country, our military is nothing but a bunch of torturers, rapists, and murders, and they gleefully report this.
If you listen to the left in this country, our president is human debris.
He is a liar, he is a murderer, and all he wants is oil for himself and his buddies.
Ditto Dick Cheney, ditto Donald Rumsfeld, Ditto Condoleza Rice.
Look at the cartoons that they did of Condoleezza Rice, which were despicable and racist and bigoted, and they are never called on it.
Look at the way they botch their own jobs, getting things wrong.
Now look at what NBC is doing by creating all these copycat mass murderers out there.
The latest example, Bartran Trail High School, St. John's County, Florida, which is Jacksonville.
Kid was arrested for a plot to kill a hundred students.
And they blame, and they're the ones that own the culture of death with abortion.
They are the ones responsible for 1.3 or 1.4 million babies being killed every year in this country since 1990 1973, under terms of the Constitution.
Talk about ripping the Constitution to shreds and using it to toilet paper.
The left does this all the time.
Look at the Second Amendment.
If they looked at the Second Amendment the way they look at the Constitution, they see Constitution and something that's not their is the right to an abortion.
If they looked at the Second Amendment and read it, they would they would have to honestly have said every citizen in this country had to have a gun.
Well, who is it that's trying to disarm this country?
Who is it that's trying to make legal, safe, law-abiding citizens at risk?
Who's putting them in jeopardy?
It's the left in this country, coarsening of the culture.
My ass.
The coarsing of the culture has been going on for longer than I've had this radio program, and this program and others like it are an antidote to it.
We are equal time.
We are finally a little balance on the scene to some of the perversion and the assaults on decency and the institutions and traditions that have made this country great.
It's the left committing those assaults.
It's the left doing everything they can to tear down the institutions and traditions that have made this country the greatest ever in the history of free people, in the history of civilization.
And to sit here and have to, well, I don't have to sit here and read it.
I happen to run across it because I work hard, prepping this program, and to read these little neophytes, these elitist, know it all sniveling little pencil neck geek creeps locked away in their newsrooms, talk about how there's some incivility in our culture.
And it can be found with Ann Colder, it can be found with Rush Limbaugh, it can be found with Mark Levin, it can be found with Sean Hannity, it can be Found with Neil Bortz.
If it weren't for us, this country would be far more gone than it is.
The fact of the matter is, it is those people sitting in their little ivory towers on campus and in newspaper newsrooms who have done more to divide this country, to make it partisan, to make the people of this country uncomfortable at the least, miserable at the worst, on a daily basis, that is their mission.
They are the drive-by left.
Global warming is just the most recent incarnation of it.
But there are assaults on this country's traditions and institutions in normalcy on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times every day.
And we call we catalog it, catalog it here, we comment upon it, and we point it out, and that's what they don't like.
Their definition of coarsening the culture is disagreeing with them.
Their definition of coursening the culture is pointing out their flaws, their hypocrisy.
Their definition of our coursening the culture is shining the light of truth on them for one and all to see and to finally learn from.
And they are losing influence.
They used to have a monopoly.
They're still very powerful.
They're trying to engineer defeat of the United States and its military in Iraq and in the war on terror.
They celebrate troop deaths because it advances a political agenda.
They love this story in Virginia Tech because it allows them to advance a political agenda of gun control and the NRA is bad and Bush is bad and Charlton Heston is bad.
They couldn't fill Charlton Heston's shoes, they couldn't walk in George W. Bush's shoes, and they wouldn't last five minutes behind this microphone with the same scrutiny aimed at them that they aim at everybody else.
They wouldn't put up with the lies and the distortions about their character and their honesty that they routinely throw out at virtually everybody.
They are the ones that try to destroy individuals' lives, reputations, and character if they happen to be nominated to the federal bench, starting with Robert Bork, probably preceding that.
These are the people who claim to be better than all of us.
These are the people who claim to be the guardians of our Constitution and our country.
These are the people who claim to be the guardians of civility.
These are the people who claim to be the guardians of justice and politeness and reverence.
And in truth, ladies and gentlemen, they are the authors of the day-by-day disintegration of the moral foundation that holds this country together and has for years.
They are not going to get away with it.
But they are not going to stop trying either, because they feel threatened.
They apply all of these standards.
And by the way, when they start talking about the coarsening of the culture on talk radio, it always comes from people who never listen to it.
It's always made by people who hear things taken out of context.
One of the things in this idiot piece from the Cincinnati, I don't know what it is, Cincinnati choir, whatever it was today.
Talks about IMAS and racism, and of course, had to throw me in there with McNabb, got that wrong.
And then they threw in this bit about how I once advised blacks to have rehearsals for riots.
Well, I'll tell you what that was.
Back on the TV show, remember Spike Lee had a movie.
Was it Malcolm X?
And Spike Lee demanded that every black kid in school be let out of school that day to go watch his movie about Malcolm X. What?
Yeah, cut school.
He told me cut school.
If they were not cut school and go watch the movie Malcolm X. Now, redeeming qualities of Malcolm X, sure, but there were also some things in there that were questionable.
You know, Malcolm X was not Martin Luther King.
He was not, he was not one of these proponents of nonviolence to get what you want.
So, okay, Spike, you're urging kids to cut school.
You think your kids, you think these kids can learn much more, watching your movie than they can learn in class?
Then why don't you go all the way?
And why don't you give them riot rehearsal and so forth, steal the popcorn in the movies and so forth?
It was a way of illustrating the total Absurdity.
The one thing the left doesn't get about me in this show.
We illustrate absurdity by being absurd, but they don't listen.
So when I was talking the other day about how the written word, the spoken word, when written, takes on entirely different meanings if you don't hear it and if it's only partially reported.
So we illustrate absurdity to be absurd here.
It's absurd to tell kids to cut school to go see a movie.
You can watch a movie at nighttime.
You don't have to cut school to go watch a movie.
So we seem to well, if you if you're gonna if you this is what you're gonna teach him, go all the way.
And uh and that was an i that was a way to illustrate the absurdity of Spike Lee.
It's written in the Cincinnati papers, though it just blurted out of my mouth with relationship to nothing, and this is constantly what they do, but never fear folks.
I'm not backing down.
Stay with us.
You want the truth, you are in the right place, and you need go no further.
Our telephone number 800 282-2882.
Now look at this.
What were we talking about yesterday?
Talking about many things, obviously.
One of the things I brought up yesterday was the Columbine shooting and how uh a lot was made as uh as uh matters were learned in the aftermath that those kids were laughed at.
And they were made fun of.
And uh they were made fun of acne and pimples and zits and girls wouldn't go out with them, and they're not gonna take that.
So they arm up, as they saw in the Matrix movies and uh and and went to town.
That is a template.
Folks, this is a media template.
Once again, you've got victims.
You've got the ugly, you've got the acne pimple and zit crowd, you've got young people that are geeks and nerds and so forth, all oppressed by the big click and and so forth.
What do you expect them to do?
What do you so miserable to be a he-he-he.
I kid you not, I am holding this story right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers, just cleared the AP wire seven minutes ago.
VA Tech shooter was laughed at.
Long before he boiled over, Virginia Tech gunman Chosung Hui was picked on, pushed around and laughed at over his shyness and the strange way he talked when he was a schoolboy in the Washington suburbs, former classmates say.
Chris Davids, a Virginia Tech Senior, who graduated from Westfield High School in Shantilly, Virginia, with Cho in 2003, recalled that he almost never opened his mouth and would ignore attempts to strike up a conversation.
Once in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud.
When it was his turn, he just looked down in silence.
Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for lack of participation, Cho started to read in a strange deep voice that sounded like he had something in his mouth.
Well, hell, I can do that.
As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing, pointing and saying, Go back to China.
I'll read it without my premium cigar in my mouth.
Soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing, pointing, saying, Go back to China.
In the often incoherent video, the 23-year-old Cho portrays himself as persecuted, rants about rich kids.
Stephanie Roberts, 22 fellow member of Cho's graduating class at Westfield High, said she never witnessed anybody picking on him.
I just remember he was a shy kid, didn't really want to talk to anybody.
I guess a lot of people felt maybe there was a language barrier.
If you're not going to talk to anybody, nobody wanted to talk to him.
Bottom line, it's our fault.
It's our fault.
Yep, it's our fault.
We made him do it.
I'm telling you, before long, would you wait till the PC crowd gets hold of this?
Be our fault.
He was a normal guy who came here, just wanted to experience the American dream that the left is in the process of destroying, by the way.
And he just ended up getting left.
I wonder if they've got a lacrosse team at Virginia Tech, and I wonder if members of the Lacrosse team bullied him.
Wouldn't that be?
Well, I mean, we the lacrosse team, you know, if if you're in a lacrosse team at a university, now what are you?
You're a spoiled brat rich kid elitist with a with your future paved for you and get away with all kinds.
That's the media template of lacrosse players now.
Back to the phones.
We'll go to Jacksonville Fortis Peter.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Ditto's from the First Coast Rush.
Yes, sir.
Yesterday afternoon, my wife when my wife and I got home, we had a uh voicemail from our uh daughter's principal.
Uh he was telling us that uh he had to have a student arrested uh for safety reasons and didn't give us any details.
This morning when we were watching the news, we found out it was this fourteen year old boy who had emailed to his buddies uh threats threatening that he was gonna kill a hundred people.
This is the uh this is Barton Trail High School.
Barton Trail High School, yeah.
Yeah.
He's being charged with uh second degree felony.
Um I don't know, I it's just driving me crazy.
I could imagine.
Now d w the when you got the voicemail from the was it the principal or somebody at the school as you said It was the principal.
You got the voicemail.
Did the voicemail say this kid's gotten he's been taken out of school?
Yes, he didn't have to be able to do that.
And everything everything in the school's battened down and hunky dory.
Yes.
Well now imagine that, folks.
In the aftermath of this story, you get home and get a voicemail message of the principal, hey, we just had to kick a kid out of school, he's threatened to kill a hundred students.
We want you to know everything's okay.
You know, the sad thing is that the pe there are people in the school that if something like this happens could possibly do something to stop it.
But of laws and liberals who can't.
Well, that's the thing.
They can't.
I mean, they might be able to do something.
They can't.
I don't know what the laws in Florida are on something like this, but I just Well, I have a concealed carry permit.
You cannot carry a gun on school grounds.
Yeah.
Even with a permit.
Yeah, I understand.
I know that.
That's probably that's that's common uh on a lot of high school and college campaign, but you got in Virginia, they passed law after law after law saying I don't care how mentally disabled it is, you can't you can't you can't even tell a parent.
Well, you know, I I remember years ago you did a a story, uh Ed Coch driving through New York, saw this uh homeless woman defecating on the on the public street.
Yes, had her arrested, they found out she was nuts, they put her in a uh a facility that could could have possibly helped her, and the ACLU found out about it and said, No, you can't do that.
You you're putting in there in there against her will, even if she is crazy.
Right.
She doesn't know she's crazy.
Right.
She doesn't know she needs help.
And then uh college hired her after they let her out uh to lecture on homelessness.
I remember I rem I'd forgotten that part of the story, but you're you're exactly right.
They ha a college and hired her to lecture on the on the victimology associated with homelessness.
Exactly.
And they had to fire her because uh every other word was uh expletive deleted.
Or should have been anyway.
Right, right.
Well, you know that you can't you can't tell um you can't tell parents uh about any medical problems their students have.
Uh they're there are laws on this, at least in Virginia, you can't they they and they were put in place to keep parents from finding out about any uh uh uh STDs and other sex-related issues like abortion.
You know, if you people say that abortion has done more to devalue our reverence for life, and I believe it.
I don't think there's any way it hasn't.
When you make it common, when you make it a political issue that killing a baby is somehow a right that is in the Constitution, and you have young people growing up and hearing this debate, what are they gonna think of life?
Well, the baby was not born, you know, that's no big deal.
I mean you kill people that it's it's a constitutional right.
If a woman wants to do this, then uh then she can do it.
It cheapens all life.
Cheapens all life all life.
No question about it.
Then you have then you have the abortion laws that expand and grow, and uh you know, a fourteen-year-old, fifteen year old girl gets pregnant, parents can't know.
That's why there have been parental notification laws because people threw their hands up in frustration over this.
But that's why there are all these other laws on campus that if the student is having mental problems, parents can't know, and and the school can't do anything about it, and they all get an alibi.
They all get an alibi.
Well, the law says I can't do anything about it.
Well, who wrote the laws?
And the people writing the laws are the spectators with all the rest of us as though they were not involved.
They wrote the laws, and this is political correctness run amok.
Well, what are you gonna do now?
Uh regarding you'd say it was your daughter or your son that goes to to Bartram Trail.
Daughter.
What how old is she?
She is seventeen.
So she's what junior?
Junior, yes.
What are you gonna do?
What can I do?
What can I take her out of school?
No, you probably probably threw it off here probably come get her or whatever to call you because they'll they'll miss the funding if she's not there.
Right, absolutely.
But I mean I know I didn't mean that.
I mean what what as a parent, I mean here you got the the principal call everybody every parent, do you think?
Yeah, they have some kind of a program there where he records a message and then I guess it automatically calls everybody calling the blast voicemail.
Yeah.
The old blast voicemail trick.
Yep.
Yeah.
Uh well, um are you gonna call a principal and say, I want to know.
Well, I want to make sure one thing that he never this kid never sees the the door of that school again, for one thing.
I mean you're discriminating now against a future Americans' education.
That's too bad.
And remember the kid's human first and uh Well, he's responsible also for his actions.
He's accountable for his actions.
No, he's a minor.
I don't care what he is.
No, no, no.
There's all I'm telling you though, they're gonna be people come along excuse this, and they're gonna be you wait.
He'll have been made fun of in school and uh uh got acne pimples or I was made fun of in school, too.
I don't go around killing people.
Hell yes, we all were, that's the point.
But it's being justified now.
And that's what's in the process of happening here at Virginia Tech.
And you can see it with this website that's got fifty or so students not from Virginia Tech talking about he's human first, a murderer second, and we can't discount all the previous days of his life.
Can I tell you about when I found you on the radio?
I'd love to hear that.
It was thirteen or fourteen years ago I was channel surfing and I heard you speak, and I said, Well, let me listen to this bozo and see what he has to say.
And then pardon me for that, because in those years uh everybody was a bozo that was a talking head.
Yeah.
And five minutes, uh less than five minutes, you had me.
You were saying things that I believed in.
But here's the kicker.
The first thought that came to my head was I wonder if the Democrats know about this guy and knows what he's saying, and if they do, they're gonna try and shut him down.
That was the first thought that came to me when I realized what you were saying.
So your instincts are sharp.
You're sharp.
They've been trying that, I guess, since the first year, uh, in a number of different ways.
Uh, and they're going to continue to try.
But as I keep telling people, and your call is great evidence of it.
Uh the strength of this program is not me, it's all of you who listen to it every day and understand what's said here, and when it is distorted and lied about out there, you know it, and you do not abandon because you have the sophistication to understand what's up and what's happening with the with the the the media, the Democrat Party, the left's assaults on uh shows like mine and uh and others.
Peter, thanks for the call.
I I I appreciate it very much.
Got to be a tough day.
That's let me Peter, before you go, qu a quick question.
Um as a parent, I don't want the I'm on an I can't do this without asking it in a leading way, which which is bad.
You didn't you didn't offer an opinion on why this kid did it, but is there any part of you that thinks this never-ending recycling of the video and photo package from the Virginia Tech shooter might be influencing this kid or just the news coverage of it in general?
I think they take courage from this.
I think they they do this because they they want the publicity.
They think it's cool.
That's right.
Everybody wants to matter and everybody wants to be known.
Is there fifteen minutes of fame?
Myspace dot com, Facebook, people are giving up the most intimate details of their lives for one and all to see.
There's this craving for mass attention.
All right.
Peter, I gotta run.
Thanks for the call.
Really appreciate it.
Be back after this.
You know, speaking of this coarsening of the culture business.
One of the things it caused me to reach the boiling point, and it take me it takes me a while to reach the boiling point, I should tell you, because it happens all the time, and uh to me it's it's it's well when you get in this arena, that those are the kind of things that are gonna happen.
It's this this is a big leagues, it's hardball out there.
And uh I I'm not gonna spend every day whining or moaning or complaining about this stuff, but there are just certain things that cause you to reach tipping point or a boiling point.
Uh end up harboring some of these things for a long time.
One of the things that that led me to uh my outrage in the previous half hour was this this thing of a Barack Obama yesterday, the politico uh blog, I guess Ben Smith.
No, I think it was Ben Smith.
Might have been Roger Summer.
I don't remember who it was, talking about Obama's comments about Virginia Tech and IMAS, and there's a common link, and it is the incivility and talk radio, verbal violence on verbal violence on talk radio.
Mr. O'B and he was praised for his larger than life view.
Comparing verbal violence on conservative talk radio to what happened at Virginia Tech.
The only connection that what happened at Virginia Tech has to anybody on the radio, that'd be Dom I Don I says NBC, ladies and gentlemen.
NBC is the one is the network that is coursing the culture at this point with this story.
But uh after commenting on Obama yesterday, and I'm I said we're gonna have to hold his feet to the fire on this because this is outrageous what he said.
A guy named John Sanders, a policy analyst, research editor at the John Locke Foundation of Raleigh, North Carolina has little peace here.
Obama the humanity.
Hours after the VTech massacre, Senator Barack Obama spoke at a campaign stop in Milwaukee.
Could have shown compassion, unalloyed with politics.
What one hopes to find in a leader when disaster strikes, but he didn't.
In the grand tradition of leftist orators.
Obama repackaged the awful news of the day to reflect on his own political themes.
I hope he said it causes us to reflect a little more broadly on the degree to which we do accept violence in various forms all the time in our society.
We glorify it, we encourage it, we encourage it, and it's heartbreaking.
And he mentions verbal violence inside at Imus.
In other words, in other words, some deranged madman just perpetrated the greatest shooting massacre in the nation's history, and Barack Obama wants us to reflect on whatever violence in various forms he can say we're responsible for.
And that was my point yesterday.
He just indicted his whole country for this episode at Virginia Tech with that statement.
We're all contributing to it, he said.
We're all perpetuating this culture of violence.
While people were crying on each other's shoulders in Blacksburg, tensely waiting by hospital beds and telephones are gathering in candlelight vigils across the country.
Obama in Milwaukee trying to put the national nose in a corner to think about what we've done.
Because some deranged lunatic just shot up a college campus in a way never before witnessed in America, Candidate Obama thinks we need to use the occasion to reflect on imus and pensions and the minimum wage and other verbal violence.
And this is the American left.
They see this violence out there, and of course, in their perverted worldview, the country's responsible for it because America, ladies and gentlemen, is subpar.
America is flawed.
And so when a single deranged madman can conducts something like this to these visionary, far-sighted, smarter than the rest of us liberals, blame all of us.
Not himself, because he's smarter than the rest of us.
No, no, no, no.
Blame the country.
And of course, then you have these sponge-brained liberal media types who hear this and go, huh?
And they have an Obamacasm.
And they squeal, enjoy it.
How brilliant and far-sighted his stupidity is.
His insulting stupidity.
Now you think that doesn't coarsen the culture?
With the American left every day trying to tell all of us how rotten our country is, how rotten all of we are, because after all, what is our country if it's not us?
Our country is immoral.
It's destroying the world with its prosperity and global warming is the result.
And we're trying, we're destroying poor peoples of color in Iraq and in the war on terror, and we're creating enemies with our actions in the Middle East.
When everybody with half a brain understands that we were attacked on 9-11 and for 25 years prior, without doing diddly squat about it.
And we weren't attacked for anything we've done to these people.
We're attacked because this is an ideological battle.
Militant Islamoism or Islamo fascism is an ideology.
And they're very blunt and open.
They tell us what their plans are.
Wipe us out.
Some people have trouble accepting it because they don't think it's possible.
Come on, these guys over there are going to wipe us out.
Well, in the UK, uh no longer can teach the Holocaust because Muslim students are offended because they don't think it happened.
In the UK, in schools, uh kids are being to don't stare at the Muslims.
It uh might set them off.
It's not polite.
There's a number of different ways things can go bad.
One of the most dangerous because it's so slow and seductive is passivity, and it is all over this country, sponsored and bought and paid for by the American left.
All right, I've got to take a break here for the top of the hour, but we'll be back and continue.
We've got other news in the stacks of stuff today, so we'll get to that.
