Time Text
Ha, how are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, which is in itself a beautiful thing, as is this program.
Most listened to radio talk show in America, Rush Limbaugh, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
And let me tell you, folks, what the Democrats are going to do next, they're going to send the, they hope to send the bill that they've just passed in the House and Senate securing defeat in Iraq that has the, and by the way, one of the, one of the news networks, one of the radio news networks report it, Democrats vote on exit strategy for Iraq.
Democrats vote on exit strategy.
Yeah, defeat.
Anyway, they're going to send the bill to the White House next Tuesday.
Now, next Tuesday will be exactly four years since Bush landed on the aircraft carrier and declared mission accomplished.
And the media is running with this all day today, which means that the Democrats have told their media buddies, here's the line to push.
Here's the action line.
Mission accomplished meant the defeat of Saddam Hussein, and everybody knows it.
These lazy, phony reporters are going to repeat this propaganda all day and night now since their Democrat masters have asked them to do it.
You're going to hear it all day and I think if you're going to waste time watching the tube, it is what you're going to hear.
And you're going to hear it all the way through next Tuesday.
And there'll be fanfares and it's going to be maddening.
Just keep a sharp eye.
It's all politically oriented.
What the Democrats need, you know, President lands on the aircraft carrier, a big banner out there said, mission accomplished.
The Democrats need to erect a banner somewhere in Washington, a huge thing out there on the mall.
It says, defeat accomplished.
I'm sure our graphic artists at the Limbaugh Letter come up with something appropriate for the website too.
It said it has an idea for them to do.
Hang it in the Senate, hang it in the House, hang it on the mall in Washington, put it at all airports.
Defeat accomplished.
Democrat Party.
You don't see this news.
It's a rare stand-on principle, and that's why this story is worth noting.
It's an AP story out of St. Louis.
Archbishop Raymond Burke denounced a Catholic charity yesterday for scheduling a benefit concert appearance by Cheryl Crowe because she supports abortion rights.
Archbishop Raymond Burke submitted his resignation as chairman of the board for the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation.
I'm very familiar with this, having grown up near there, saying that the decision to let Cheryl Crowe sing on Saturday left him no other choice.
He said, it's very painful for me, but I have to answer to God for the responsibility I have as an archbishop.
A Catholic institution featuring a performer who promotes moral evil gives the impression that the church is somehow inconsistent in its teaching.
Event organizer Alan Ulred said he was disappointed with Archbishop Burke's decision, but that Cheryl Crow would appear on Saturday as scheduled.
This is not an event about ideology, Allred said.
This is about helping kids.
Helping kids.
You've got to admire this man's willingness to stand for principle.
And I just wanted to pass the story on to you as a means of noting his principle and courage in this, Archbishop Raymond Burke.
By the way, tell you how bad it's gotten at gun control in the UK.
See what Hugh Grant did?
Yeah, he's being hassled by a bunch of paparazzi.
I guess he came out of the house and paparazzi was waiting for him.
He got out of a car going into his house, I think.
And the paparazzi said, hey, smile for my camera.
And Hugh Grant went over there and started verbally assaulting him, tried to kick him a couple times, then went in his house and came out with a little tub of baked beans and threw the baked beans at the paparazzi photographer.
He's been arrested.
He's been questioned by police after the photographer accused him of attacking him with a tub of baked beans.
The photographer, named Ian Whitaker, told a Daily STAR that he and Grant clashed near the home of Hugh.
Grant said Grant abused and kicked him before lobbying the baked beans.
The paper printed photos of Grant with a plastic tub of food.
I saw the picture, the plastic tub of food.
It looked like something you'd get at a YOU know supermarket.
Next to the steam SEA LION claws or the frozen raccoon tv dinners, you get the baked beans.
It just threw the whole tub at them.
See, if they outlaw baked beans and Hugh Grant would have not had a weapon.
Over 450 000 federal workers are tax deadbeats.
This is from UH, a tax specialist website.
Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus and a ranking Republican, Charles Grassley, sent a letter to president Bush today complaining that over 450 000 federal workers and retirees owe three billion dollars in federal taxes.
The senators also released UH tax delinquency data showing that the largest percentage of federal employees and retirees at tax deadbeats are in these departments and agencies.
Number one U.S Commission ON Civil Rights has the most tax deadbeats, 9.4 percent.
Government Printing Office second at 7.4 percent.
The Smithsonian Third at 5.6 percent of courts 5.5 percent, Defense Department 5.4 percent, Selective Service 5.4 percent, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 5.3 percent, the Pension Benefit Guarantee CORP 5.3.
Federal Labor Relations Authority 5.5 percent.
And the National Endowment FOR THE Humanities has five percent of the tax deadbeats 450 000 of them out there uh, who are not paying their taxes.
Working in the?
Uh, the federal government from Livescience.com.
You don't have to be smart to be rich.
Individuals with below average Iq test scores were just as wealthy as brainiacs, according to a national survey.
What the results really say is, it doesn't matter whether you're born smart or you're not born smart.
You can do financially okay, said the study's author, Jay Zagorski, an economist at the OIO State University Center FOR Human Resource Research.
Uh well, Snerdley is a yelling in my ear.
How did the dumb get rich?
We didn't.
We're not saying dumb, we're saying the smart and the not so smart.
But you remember the book?
We had a book.
This is 10, 12 years ago.
We reviewed a book in the Limba Letter, the millionaire next door, and it was.
It was all about, you have more neighbors than you probably would be aware.
Are our millionaires?
Uh, they're nondescript.
Uh, they come from what we would call the ranks of average Americans.
And they've just they've they've, uh, they've got a passion and they pursue it and their passion produces a product or service somebody wants and they do it better than most.
And yeah, they live conservatively.
Yeah, they're not.
They're not.
They're not running around with the land, yachts and all that sort of stuff that advertises their wealth and the?
Um.
If you want to ask the question, okay, how did the dumb get rich?
They followed a passion.
Passion can overcome a whole lot of things.
Passion, desire, 80% of achievement.
From Wellington, New Zealand, Edmund Hillary, who with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest and return was hospitalized Tuesday in New Zealand.
He's 87 years old now, and we're waiting for Mrs. Hillary Clinton to rush to his bedside.
As you know, she once told people that she was named after Edmund Hillary.
The problem was that nobody ever heard of Edmund Hillary when she was named.
He had not become a household figure, had not climbed mountains.
It was totally made up.
It was an absolute, totally made-up story.
So we'll see if she rushes to his bedside to provide aid and comfort.
Brief time out.
Lots of your phone calls are coming up next, so stay with us.
Views expressed by the host on this program are right.
That's according to a consensus of the American people who have made this the most listened-to radio talk show in America.
Therefore, more Americans listen to this program and anything else, it means this program is the authority, the spoken authority in American media today.
800-282-2882.
Now, look, mentioned this in a roundabout way all during the program.
It's a story from the Hill newspaper by Sam Young with a story about Mrs. Bill Clinton, Bush, a very hard person to deal with.
Mrs. Bill Clinton said yesterday that there are risks in sending bills to President Bush that cut off troop funding in Iraq, and that passing such bills may not be possible.
Clinton, taking questions following a speech to the National Jewish Democrat Council, was asked by former Representative Martin Frost, a Democrat from Texas, what the chances are that Congress will be able to send such bills to Bush, get them signed, or override an expected veto.
And Mrs. Bill Clinton said, it'll be extremely challenging, if at all possible.
She put the blame on Bush, criticizing the president for not being willing to work with Democrats on tactics for getting out of Iraq.
See?
The arrogance.
It's all Bush's fault.
He won't do what we want.
He won't work with us.
He won't sign on to defeat.
Well, she won't say that, but that's what she means.
You know as well as I do, Martin, how difficult it'll be.
Bush, a very hard person to deal with on these issues.
And Clinton cautioned Democrats don't want to be blamed for cutting off funding for troops in harm's way, acknowledging the political risks of such a maneuver, which means, plain and simple, that this vote in the House yesterday to vote in the Senate today are purely symbolic because they know Bush is going to veto this and they can't override the veto.
But they think in their perverted way of looking at things that this is going to transfer total authority, accountability for what happens in Iraq to Bush.
They think somehow they're going to escape the idea in the American people's minds that they are the ones that want defeat.
You just wait, folks.
This is going to catch up to them.
It's going to be a tidal wave when it starts.
Here's JC in Belton, Texas.
JC, glad you called.
Glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, thanks, Rush, Vietnam helicopter pilot ditto.
Thank you, sir.
It's a third Vietnam vet we've had on the program today.
Yes, sir.
We're still out here and we're listening.
I have a question of you about the liberals out there who are trying to get you fired like they got Imus.
Yeah, The stupidity seems incredible to me simply because Imus was an employee.
Yes.
And he didn't own his show.
Not only do you own your show, you own the syndicator.
So the question is, are you going to fire yourself?
We want them to try.
No, I'm not going to fire myself.
The only way I would fire myself is if I learned every American agreed with me, there'd be no sense in continuing.
Mission accomplished.
Big banner on an aircraft carrier.
Well, I just wanted to see if that angle was correct because I just said that you converted everybody that you couldn't possibly fire yourself.
I don't own the syndicator.
They are a partner.
Oh, correct.
Sorry.
So I don't own the syndicator.
I could, if I decided to at some point, do it all.
But I got a great working relationship with my syndication partners.
But, you know, it's just the way I've chosen to structure.
But yeah, I basically have to agree that they're right.
I should be fired and do it myself.
We won't wait for that day.
No, don't wait for it.
It's not going to happen.
And look at it.
If I fired myself, I'd hired myself back five minutes later.
I could do that.
You want me to fire a car?
I'll fire myself.
Limbaugh fired back on air five minutes later would be the story.
Hey, that would be a good one.
That would yank so many chains that you would completely hijack the news.
In fact, when I rehired myself, it would be for a greater percentage.
Okay, Rush, hang in there.
I will do.
Yeah, I could do a Rosie and say, you know, folks, I just, I have failed to come to terms with myself, so I'm quitting.
I'm going to fire myself, and then five minutes later, come to terms with myself and refuse to accept my own resignation.
That's right.
I fired myself, but I didn't accept it.
Well, you never know.
We'll play it out.
Bill in Clayton, Wisconsin, welcome to the EIB Network.
It's your turn, sir.
Double mega Dittos from the Tease Capital of Wisconsin Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I'm also a Vietnam-era veteran.
And I was listening to the news today, and I, like you, listen intently to what's being said.
Robert Byrd made a comment on the bill that the Senate is sending to the president, and I could not believe what I heard.
Now, if the president does not sign this bill, he will be holding hostage funding for the troops.
Now, I don't know if that's a big deal to you, but it sure sounds like a big deal to me.
Well, look at, I don't blame you for being outraged.
It is a big deal, but this is the word games that Democrats play.
They're trying to transfer total accountability of this to Bush.
They come up with a bill that says, okay, we'll fund your silly little war that we want you to lose, but you've got to get the troops out of there in less than a year.
And if you don't, then you are the ones holding the troops hostage.
Stalinist, tyrannical tactics here.
But this is who they are.
In truth, Bill, we want more of this.
We want the arrogance and the conceit that leads to this kind of an attitude to even grow.
The Democrats refused to be this open about their radicalism leading up to the November elections.
But now they're feeling their oats.
They're feeling their power.
And we want them to feel even more powerful.
We want them to feel like they're on a roll and that they can't lose.
And we want them to take off all the camouflage and all the masking that they're wearing and expose themselves for who they are.
And it looks like we're not going to have long to wait for it to happen.
I mean, you've heard about the dust up between McCain and Mirtha.
In fact, I think we got audio sound by the time.
Let me go through the rock.
Yes.
Start with soundbite number 10.
You don't have to look it up.
I just did.
It's audio soundbite number.
You can trust me.
Audio soundbite number 10.
McCain makes a harmless joke.
He went on Comedy Central and he makes a joke.
I had something really picked out for you, too.
It's a nice little IED to put onto your desk.
That's very lovely of you.
Thank you.
Okay, so tonight, one of these explosive devices, a roadside bomb going off at Iraq.
And he's going to give Jon Stewart one over at Comedy Central.
Jack Murtha, yesterday on the floor of the House of Representatives, said this about what McCain did.
Imagine a presidential candidate making a joke about IEDs when these kids are blown apart.
It's outrageous.
That individual owes an apology to every troop that serves in Iraq.
My rear end, Senator, you and your party are the ones that owe the apology.
John McCain supports those troops and they know it, and nothing he said on that program is in any way comes anywhere near the destruction and damage that you, Congressman Murtha, have done to the troops.
You are the one who has publicly broadcast to the world that they're incompetent, that they can't win, that it's already lost, you and Harry Reid.
And you go lose your temper on the floor of the House over a joke that happens on a comedy network.
McCain replied.
I don't know how to react to that kind of hysteria on a comedy show.
I'm going to use humor.
When I was in combat and in tough situations, we used humor all the time.
And all I can say is to Mertha and others, lighten up and get a life.
Absolutely right.
Lighten up and get a life.
These people, they have no sense of humor.
Can't take a joke about anything.
But if you do a side-by-side comparison over who has done more damage to U.S. military personnel in Iraq, John McCain doesn't even get one little mark on his side of the aisle.
Merthy's got so many marks, you need two pieces of paper to record them all.
McCain then continued, always a loyal Republican, was on Larry King.
And King said, what do you make, Senator McCain, of the Gonzales issue?
I'm very disappointed, disappointed in his performance.
I think loyalty to the president should enter into his calculations.
Did you say you think Gonzalez should leave?
I think out of loyalty to the president, that that would probably be the best thing that he could do.
Well, so Senator McCain's on a roll doing the right thing and does that.
What are these people going to realize Gonzalez going is not going to mean diddly squat?
It's going to be harmful.
It's just going to throw more blood in the water.
It's not about him.
It's not about...
We try to praise Senator McCain when we can, folks.
We try.
We work hard at it.
I mentioned this early on in the program, and I'm just now getting time to get around to it.
A friend of mine sent me something today that I'd not seen before.
And I looked at this, I'm not even sure this is genuine.
I think things would be photoshopped and so forth.
And later on, I got the documentation to it.
And what I have here, we're going to put this on the website.
It is a page from a book, chapter 6, page 174, of a book called I think it's Aufderwacht from 1941.
And it is a picture of a jack-booted thug, a foot, kicking out of a room, a cigar, a cigarette, and a pipe, a Nazi foot, the Nazi soldier foot.
And in fact, the cigar band has a caricature of a black person with, you know, just a racist caricature, a black person.
And the point of the story is, here's the caption of the picture as it appears in the book.
The Nazi Party barred smoking in many public places, including party offices and waiting rooms.
Note the Negroid head on the cigar, says the caption.
Nazi anti-tobacco activists tried to characterize smoking as the vice of degenerate Africans.
And they tried to stamp it out in 1941.
They wowed.
They could smoke themselves because you've all seen it in World War II movies.
They had a funny way of holding their cigarettes.
Hitler was a teetotaler.
He's a vegetarian.
He didn't smoke.
And they actually, they were the original anti-smoking Nazis.
And so the backup to this comes from Dr. Michael Sonera.
He earned his Ph.D. in political science in 1979 from the University of Colorado at Boulder, served as U.S. Army military intelligence officer in Berlin in the early 1970s.
And he wrote, I got the following from a Schauin's Land, a magazine that teaches advanced German language skills.
Note that it validates our notion that those pushing smoking bans are legitimately called lifestyle Nazis.
Hitler and the Nazis campaigned against smoking and promoted pioneering research into its dangers.
There's a long paragraph.
We're going to put this up there.
It's not that big a deal in the great scheme of things, other than it's something that I didn't know.
Well, that's the thing.
You know, even when I make jokes, they come out, they turn out to be true.
They turn to be right, the anti-smoking Nazis and so forth.
Now, I don't expect this to reverse the anti-smoking hysteria in this country.
People are not going to think they have anything in common with the German Nazis.
Not doing it for that reason.
I'm just passing it on because I found it to be a fascinating bit of information.
And exactly for what H.R. said, when I say it, when I even make a joke about these people, I'm right.
Sometimes even when I think I'm wrong, I turn out to be right.
That's what's stunning.
You remember the original House bill that was going to withdraw troops starting in April of 2008?
And it was $100 billion for troops, $24 billion of pork, and in that $24 billion of pork was $25 million for a single spinach producer out there in Carmel Valley.
Well, uh-uh, federal financial aid for Salinas Valley spinach growers, slammed by last year's E. coli crisis, became the butt of ridicule and was stricken from the final version of the emergency spending bill approved by the House.
But Representative Sam Farr isn't laughing.
The Carmel Democrat lobbied hard for the 25 mil to help the spinach growers included in the spending bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now, people had to find something wrong, so spinach was it.
The spinach got singled out.
The sadness is the Senate didn't have the fortitude to stand up for the spinach that we in the House saw as something worth standing up for.
Good public policy in an emergency.
Sam, you know, it's not, this was a war funding bill, and they throw all us pork at it, and the spinach got thrown out, but all is not lost because an agriculture bill lurking in the corner.
And they'll be able to throw it into an ag bill and get the get the pork for the spinach guy in due course.
It is not going to be part of this particular legislation.
Lynette in Fort Collins, Colorado, I'm glad you called.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush.
Zillion dittos.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I'm a moviegoer.
And I go, I get to watch Al Gore do his movie trailer.
I want you to do one.
Wait, Hold it a minute.
Hold it a minute.
I am not a moviegoer, so I don't know what you mean.
Al Gore, you mean a preview for his movie?
Yes, sir.
They're doing their little global warming advertising before you get to see the movie you paid to go see.
I have to watch Al Gore do his thing.
And so I decided I'm a Rush fan.
I'm on your mailing list, and I want Rush to do a movie trailer advertisement with the truth on it.
Well, instead of the garbage.
Yeah, but we'd be glad to do it.
I'd be glad to film it.
But what theaters do you think would actually run it?
Well, there's a few, I think.
There's ones that ran the Nativity story at Christmas.
They watched running.
The only Christmas stuff that's going to be on a big screen is if Tim Allen's in it.
No, the Nativity story was in a few theaters here.
I'm in Fort Collins, Colorado, and that's, oh, the screener wanted me to ask you if you've ever been here.
I think one time we had a little party out there.
It was called Dan's Bake Sale, and about 80,000 of us showed up.
Wow.
Yeah, we were there.
It was on a Saturday.
The NBC News that day called it a Republican Woodstock.
See, what had happened was that I started publishing a Limball letter.
This was in the early days of the Limball letter.
And I got a note or an email from this guy, Dan.
And Dan said that his wife wouldn't let him spend the money to buy it on his own.
So he wanted to be able to have friends of his who got it copy it and give it to him so he could see it that way.
Well, of course, I can't allow copyright violations like that.
I would destroy the integrity of the publication.
Also, at the same time, little school kids were being prompted by teachers to do bake sales and then send the money to President Clinton to reduce the national debt.
And of course, we all know it was their parents baking the goods.
These little kids, second, third graders, standing outside selling the cookies, cake, whatever it was they're baking up.
And Clinton kept the money.
So this bake sale was a big thing.
So I got hold of this guy.
I said, you know, you are missing a golden opportunity.
Your wife says no.
So you conclude you don't have any money.
Do a bake sale.
Do Dan's bake sale.
His name was Dan.
And where do you live?
He said, I live in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Well, do a bake sale.
It wouldn't take you long.
Get 24 bucks for a subscription to the limbo.
He said, okay, I'll do it.
Well, all this happened on the air, and everybody wanted to be part of the bake sale.
And I mean, people from a restaurant in New Orleans went out there.
The billboard owners gave us billboard space to promote the thing.
And there were countless exhibitors selling things at this bake sale.
The funny thing was that the guy about whom this whole thing was about showed up with enough baked goods to last five minutes and then split and then started trying to do his own Dan's bake sales without me all over the country and didn't draw flies.
Well, he might have drawn flies.
But no, there were 80,000 of them gathered out there.
And Senator Hank Brown was with us out there, escorted out by a horse near right behind the rear end of a horse walking out to the stage.
And it was raining all morning.
As soon as I hit the stage, the skies broke, sunshine came down.
We flew into it on a helicopter.
There was a traffic jam on the interstate highway for miles.
People trying to get to this place.
So, yeah, I've been to Fort Collins.
Sorry you missed it, Lynette.
Ken in Furgess Falls, Minnesota, I guess this is.
Hello.
Hi there.
Say, you asked earlier about why the media doesn't show how many of the Iraqi enemy we've killed.
Yeah.
But it could easily be because the media thinks that the Iraqis are actually not an enemy, that they're innocent victims of a no-no regime gone wild.
No, no, no, it's not that.
It's because they don't want any record of our success.
Sure.
They don't want any.
You said you're from North Dakota or Minnesota.
No, you're from Minnesota.
Have you heard about the farmer?
I forget his name.
Farmer Minnesota is dairy cow done.
He needed to get a new dairy cow.
Well, I'm sure you've heard about this.
Let me just tell you about it.
The guy looked in papers, try to find an ad for a dairy cow.
He found one in South Dakota.
So he went there, and the farmer selling a dairy cow said, oh, it's a great cow.
The milk here is fine.
It'll do good on your farm.
He said, well, I got to milk it.
I just can't take your word for it.
So, well, go ahead.
And every time he tugged to milk the cow, methane.
I mean, the cow just, it expelled gas every time.
Bovine flatulence, yeah.
Well, that's right.
Global warming, bovine flatulence.
Exactly right.
And the farmer from Minnesota said, well, it's always happened.
Yeah, it always happens.
But the milk is great.
The farmer from Minnesota said, okay, well, I'll take it.
So he packs it up, runs it back home to his farm in South Dakota or Minnesota.
He gets him and calls his buddy, another farmer down the road.
He says, you've got to come by.
You've got to come by and see my new dairy cow.
I got the best dairy cow.
This is incredible.
So his buddy shows up and says, well, can I milk the cow?
Maybe you can tell me how great it is, but I want to do it myself.
Sure, sure.
Go ahead.
So his buddy starts tugging.
Milk comes flowing out, but more methane.
That flatulence just kept up.
So his buddy says to the Minnesota farmer, he says, you get this cow in South Dakota?
Yeah?
I got the cow inside.
I didn't tell you I got the cow inside.
How'd you know that?
My wife is from South Dakota.
All right, welcome back.
By the way, time to countdown for the drive-by media.
I promised this earlier.
We're going to play Barack the Magic Negro again.
Only this time we're going to give you advance warnings so you can actually hear it here.
You guys need to listen to it here.
We'll transcribe it.
We'll get the lyrics at rushlimbaugh.com so you can hear it.
We'll post it right next to the story that inspired this brilliant parody.
Obama the Magic Negro has appeared in March 20, what is it, March the 19th in the Los Angeles Times by David Ahrenstein.
Countdown, well, the next call, we're going to take a call here and we'll play Barack the Magic Negro.
I don't know how long it's going to be.
It'll be at least a minute and a half because we are fair, kind, patient, tolerant, compassionate, all that with every caller.
Jody in Olathe, Kansas.
I'm glad you called and thank you for waiting.
Rush mega ditto.
I had a question regarding that I would like to ask the Democrats.
They don't think that if we withdraw our troops, that the terrorists aren't going to come here and fight us.
And that's wrong because they've already come here.
And my question would be to them, is after our troops come home and we begin to fight the terrorists here, because they will come, how soon will it take for the Democrats to decide to raise the white flag here on our own soil?
Well, that's what Rudy Giuliani was saying earlier in his remarks.
Rudy was saying, because of our value system as Americans, we would not surrender to terrorists in this country.
We would fight them to the death.
His point is, why invite them?
Why even go through that?
Why go on defense at all?
Why set up circumstances that guarantee that we're going to get hit again and that they're going to come to our shores?
Why not go on offense and take the battle to them elsewhere and keep them away from here?
And that's his whole point.
He looks at the Democrats.
He doesn't see anything but defense.
I mean, and I made the point.
I mean, if you look at their proposals, you don't find one thing oriented toward victory over these people.
Certainly not with their votes yesterday and today in the House and the Senate.
I appreciate the call, Jody.
Thanks very much.
All right.
We're fulfilling a promise made in the first hour of the program.
And that is giving the drive-by media advance warning.
It's been, what, two minutes now?
For the drive-bys to get word spread.
They can hear, actually hear for themselves with the context, Barack the Magic Negro.
It's a spin-off of an L.A. Times column written by a black guy in which he called Barack the Magic Negro, saying Barack's an empty vessel.
He hadn't been around long enough for anybody to know what he stands for.
And therefore, all this white support for Barack, how can this be? Asks the black columnist.
How can there be so many white people supporting Barack?
And it's because they have so much guilt over the racial history of this country that saying they support Barack absolves them of any guilt, but they really don't support him.
And he doesn't believe it.
And you couple this with the fact that Al Sharpton said in the New York Post some days earlier before this that he was a little upset.
Barack getting all this attention, Biden calling him articulate and not Sharpton.
It made for a natural parody, and this is it.
And for this, the drive-bys and willing accomplices out there trying to get me to fire myself since nobody else can.
But it won't happen.
Here's the song for the drive-by media.
I've been reading that criticizing Paul Shanklin, who sings that parody as a white comedian not doing a good impersonation of Al Sharpton.
And you know what I think that stems from?
I think the people that are criticizing this are so distant and so out of touch and unfamiliar that they don't understand what we're doing.
That is Reverend Sharpton through a bullhorn.
It's how he came to be known, leading protests across bridges here in Manhattan and all over Harlem.
And he had this bullhorn, and everything he said was through a bullhorn.
So when we do a Sharpton parody, I wonder if they've ever heard Mama Told Me Not to Come or not to vote.
Or not to run.
Whatever it was.
We're out of time.
Can't play that today.
I mean, they can talk about Shanklin's poor imitation of Al Sharpton all they want.
It's a great imitation, but hell, Hillary Clinton's been running around the South and in New York imitating Al Sharpton and others.
And nobody's saying anything about that except us.
We're on the prowl here, folks.
