Time Text
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Highly trained broadcast specialist, serving humanity simply by showing up.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Okay.
I've given myself an hour off from audio sound bites from the convention last night, which drove me baddie.
I was it was uh it was frustrating.
I was a furious and all the lies.
Every sentence was a lie.
And I got all his commentary about how effective it was and so forth.
And it just I figured out what it was that bothered me.
I just I just can't stand my intelligence being insulted.
It's bad enough when the actual insulting is taking place by people like Biden or Clinton, and then they have to listen to a bunch of Nimrod analysts.
Talk about how effective it was, further insulted my intelligence.
And it just it it it uh it it and I started the night in a funk anyway.
And uh I've been in a been in a diet here, folks, since like July the 11th.
Because I went out there, did some get some dental surgery they have to have done, and I really can't eat a whole lot of things, so it's sort of like an enforced diet.
But it's um, and I'm losing weight, but it's put me in a funk.
It's a chemical kind of funk.
I think there's no event other than diet that's inspired.
Diets are hard.
It's hard to sit there, hard work to sit there and not eat.
Well, Rush, well, Rush, why don't you get off the couch and go exercise while you're not eating?
I don't need to do that.
We've been there and done that, and that doesn't help you lose weight.
I'm not saying it's not good for you, but it can't speed your metabolism up to make a big difference.
I know all of you just shouting at the radios.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have more diet experience than anybody in the world.
And I know what I am talking about.
All right.
Here we go.
Let's rev it back up.
Last night in Denver at the Democrat National Convention, Joe Biden.
Now let me ask you this.
Whose judgment do you trust?
Should you trust the judgment of John McCain when he said only three years ago, Afghanistan.
We don't read about it anymore in the papers because it succeeded.
Or should you believe Barack Obama who said a year ago we need to send two more combat battalions to Afghanistan?
You know, when I s when I heard this, and by the way, that got no applause, because these delegates don't want a war anywhere.
They do not want troops being sent anywhere.
So here is here's Biden.
I don't even need to comment on this.
But here's Biden, the vice president of a pacifist party, a vice presidential nominee, advocating an expansion of troops.
He doesn't even know the difference between a brigade and a battalion, and neither does anybody else in the Obama campaign who wrote his speech and checked the speech.
But we're supposed to trust Obama's judgment on this and not trust McCain's.
Here's more.
Should we trust John McCain's judgment when he says when he says we can't have no timelines to draw down our troops from Iraq that we must stay indefinitely?
Or should we listen to Barack Obama, who says shift the responsibility to the Iraqis and set a time to bring our combat troops home.
Now, after six long years, the administration and the Iraqi government are on the verge of setting a date to bring our troops home.
John McCain was wrong, and Barack Obama was right.
Again, again, and again, on the most important national security issues of our time.
John McCain was wrong, and Barack Obama has been proven right.
This is such a stretch as to be unbelievable, and this is one of the many times that I just I sat there and was in stunned disbelief at what I was hearing.
He doesn't talk about the role of the surge in helping to create the timelines.
By the way, we learned today that Mookie's boys are officially disbanding.
Should we trust Biden's judgment?
Biden was against the surge.
Biden voted for the war, but he tried, he voted for not funding the troops a couple of times.
McCain never ever said stay there indefinitely.
What McCain was talking about was you set a timeline for getting out of there before we win this thing, and it's going to be a bloodbath after we leave.
And he was exactly right.
Obama has no judgment on this.
Obama has no involvement in this.
Obama hasn't chaired one committee hearing on this.
This was a 100% manufactured lie and story, and he blew it when in his own convention by suggesting, ladies and gentlemen, that we need to send two more combat brigades, battalions, whatever he said, to Afghanistan.
The purpose for this, by the way, is to cement in the uh eyes of as many people as possible that Bush screwed up that Afghanistan's always been the focus.
Going into Iraq was a waste of time.
And let's not forget what old Joe's proposal here was for Iraq.
He wanted to partition it.
He wanted to split Iraq into three different countries by ethnic lines.
That would have created a civil war.
He did not want to win.
Obama did not want to win.
They were both invested in defeat.
That's what they wanted.
So did Nancy Pelosi, and so did Harry Reed.
They wanted the defeat of their own country.
They wanted the defeat of the United States of America.
And how about these insults of his good friend McCain?
It is one thing to be critical of McCain, but these are personal attacks on McCain's judgment that the American people do not share, and that those that follow all these things know Biden really doesn't mean it because Biden has done nothing but lawed McCain up until the time he's been nominated.
He would no, I did not hear any carry.
I just read about Sumakery.
I didn't want to hear it.
I told Cookie, I don't want to eat soundbit and John Kerry.
I don't want been there, done that.
This was enough.
This in Clinton was more than I could handle.
Here's one more Biden.
The choice in this election is clear.
These times require more than a good soldier.
They require a wise leader.
A leader who can change.
Change the change that everybody knows we need.
Takes your breath away.
It just takes your breast away.
We need more than a good soldier to require a wise leader.
This is a guy who Biden has accepted the leadership role of McCain in the Senate for how many years?
And I'm telling you, Barack Obama they can't talk about Obama's leadership.
There hadn't been any that they want to advertise.
Which is their big problem.
Jeffrey Toobin, there was one drive-by person who thought that it was not good.
I thought it was by far the weakest speech of the major speeches we've heard.
I thought he stumbled a lot in delivering what he thought were his best lines.
I thought it was not thematically together the way Bill Clinton's speech was.
I thought there was not a single memorable theme.
Yes, he kept saying that's not change.
We can that's what was he saying?
He said that's not change, that's more of the same.
But boy, I did not think it was a very effective speech.
Good!
I don't know how he came to that conclusion, because it's the first time he's been right all week.
But at least he got it right.
I guess anybody after you know three days might be right once in the uh in in the drive-bys.
It wasn't thematic, but it wasn't that's not what it was supposed to be.
He did stumble.
That's why I I thought the reviews of this speech were just way over the top.
Some of the attempted comedy lines fell flat, embarrassingly so.
Uh now, the forehead, Paul Bagala, I guess you could say this is uh a backhand compliment.
The guys running this campaign for Barack are thrilled with Joe's speech.
And here's why.
When you're running a campaign, you want to grow and grow and grow.
Barack's base is terrific.
It was enough to get him here to make history.
It is not enough to win the White House.
He's got the irrugula vote.
He needs the ham and cheese sandwich vote.
Joe Biden's speech was ham and cheese, man.
I can take that speech and send it to every county commissioner in America, and he or she can get up and repeat that at the Rotary Club.
They can't repeat Bill Clinton.
They can't repeat Barack Obama.
But they can repeat Joe Biden.
If the if Biden took this speech to the average rotary club in America, he'd be booed out of the hole.
All right, here's the explanation for the replica of Air Force One, the Boeing 707 Fuselage.
And it turns out it has screwed up a bunch of people in Denver.
It is a traveling American presidential presidential experience museum.
And it it's uh uh got Air Force One, the Oval Office, it's got a whole bunch of things that travel around the country, and they set it up, and it is currently happening at Invesco Field at Mile High, and they've had to suspend it for tonight.
And that picture of the uh of the fuselage showing up was when the exhibit was rolling into town, not today.
And what happened was that people went out and bought uh uh tickets for something called the American presidential experience for August 28th, thinking they were getting into uh Obama's show tonight, and they're not getting into Obama's show after spending 15 bucks for the museum exhibit.
Sharon Stewart couldn't believe her good fortune.
Two tickets to Obama's historic night in Denver for $15 a piece.
She bought them on Ticketmaster for the American presidential experience at Invesco Field at Mile High, invited a friend to join her as Obama accepts.
But it turns out her tickets weren't for Obama's speech, but for a traveling museum of White House memorabilia.
The tickets are no good anyway because the museum will not be open to the general public uh today because of the uh convention is taken over in Vesco Field at Mile High.
Okay, Bill Clinton.
Let me just set up these Bill Clinton sound bites briefly, ladies and gentlemen.
Bill Clinton did not mean one thing he said about Barack Obama last night.
He did not believe one thing.
I think he just said, Ah, screw this.
Hell, they give me 12 million dollars to do this.
Uh, six million dollars, you know, price is right.
I'll go out there and I'll do whatever I have.
First half of this speech.
Second half, I'm gonna let her rip, but uh first half I'll go out there, just be perfunctory about this.
I'm just gonna say what I want if people want to hear, I'll just say it.
Now get out of town as fast as I can.
He uh apparently forgot about Bosnia, cowboy unilateral attacks, he forgot that he ignored terrorism.
You know, anybody go out and give a great speech if you don't have to tell the truth.
Anyone can go out and give a great speech if you avoid the facts.
Now, Clinton may have been setting the bar so that Obama will either be a failure as a president or a failure as a candidate.
Bill can say, hey, I get it, my best shot.
Me and Hillary went out there.
We did everything we could for this guy.
And look, he couldn't carry the ball.
We gave it to him on 10-yard line.
Bill Clinton's made over 50 million dollars making speeches.
He's a professional speechmaker, did a fine job, always does.
Bill Clinton said Obama was everything and a bag of chips, big deal.
Bill's a convicted liar.
Bill's a serial cheater.
He's talking family values.
Can you imagine John Edwards watching this thing last night?
Bill has no family values.
He values nothing more than being the center of attention, making money in ways that we'll never know.
He tried to gut the military, rode the wave of the Reagan economy and tax cuts.
Lucky enough investors had money to plow into the emerging technology sector.
Well, let's let's let's listen.
Here's a portion of uh of Bill Clinton lesson.
Everything I learned in my eight years as president, and in the work I have done since in America and across the globe, has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job.
That's total BF.
With Joe Biden's experience and wisdom supporting Barack Obama's proven understanding, instincts, and insight.
America will have the national security leadership we need.
No.
And so, my fellow Democrats, I say to you, Barack Obama is ready to lead America and to restore American leadership in the world.
He didn't mean a word of it.
This will sh we just a whore.
For whatever the price he will say, whatever he's supposed to say, or for his legacy or whatever.
He doesn't believe.
He can't possibly, he's not stupid.
He may be pathological, but he's not stupid.
He doesn't believe a diamond is I will guarantee you, in ways we will never see the fingerprints, both he and Hillary are going to be doing everything they can to make sure this guy does not win this election.
The only thing that makes sense.
Let's keep hitting the button here.
16 years ago.
You gave me the profound honor to lead our party to victory.
And to lead our nation to a new era of peace and broadly shared prosperity.
It's a crock.
Together, we prevailed in a hard campaign in which the Republicans said I was too young and too inexperienced to be commander in chief.
You were!
You proved it.
Sound familiar?
It didn't work in 1992.
Because we were on the right side of history.
And it will not work in 2008 because Barack Obama is on the right side of history.
He was too young too experienced to be.
In fact, he he he had more to recommend himself as commander in chief than Obama does.
Remember Clinton, and he even told us this.
He had deployed the Arkansas National Guard a couple times.
He had no it's what he said he had military expenses.
Experience.
Obama?
You know Clinton doesn't believe a word of this.
He doesn't believe a word of this.
Um let me let me uh what is there, isn't it?
Yep.
Let me give you the speech that Clinton really wanted to give, folks.
You know I'm right.
This is not what he wanted to say.
Here's what he wanted to do.
This is what he wanted to go out and say.
My fellow Democrats, I have never been so ticked off in my life as I am tonight addressing you.
Look at what's happening out there.
Gas prices are through the roof.
Food prices are through the roof.
We have successfully demonized a war in Iraq.
We successfully demonized Katrina and Cheney and Bush.
And the Republicans still running an old man, half Democrat half the time, and you nominate this Obama dweeb.
With all we got going for us.
This guy could not win the general if you spotted him five points and twenty-five electoral votes.
I know.
I have been there.
And don't you dare.
When this is all over, and you know I'm right, don't you dare blame me.
I set Hillary up on a ten-yard line, goal to go.
More money than even I ever had and my legacy to run on, and she couldn't close the deal against a freshman running on hope and change.
Hell.
She only had to remind everybody, I am the man from hope, not this little dweeb.
I'm the one that changed the world.
I beat the Republicans in every turn, every damn time.
I beat the Republican.
You nominate guy.
He couldn't carry Hillary Clinton's bra.
Now look at me.
I had to sit here, mouthing I love you while my wife brags about her historic run.
I had to eat this sandwich every damn day during the campaign.
There ain't no history worth having, folks.
In losing.
And that's what she did.
What history?
Nobody would even know her name if it were for me.
I mean, hell.
What do y'all think with Operation Chaos?
For Crane, do you understand what Operation Chaos said?
Limbaugh even tried to pull it out for her.
If I'd have had Limbaugh behind me, I'd have gotten over 50% in both elections in the 90s.
She had it all.
She had me.
She had my legacy.
And she even had Limbaugh.
And she's up against an inexperienced dweeb.
They played the race card on me.
And you all, I'm the first black president.
You bought it.
Why am I even here gracing your presence?
This is pathetic.
She she can't even say, she can even say in her speech that she is a proud wife.
All my black friends, they want nothing to do with me now.
They're gone after all I have done for you black people.
I lied about all your church fires.
Republicans set.
I did everything you asked me to do, and you have abandoned me.
For a guy ran around a terrace in Chicago, got that wacko nut preacher.
I wouldn't even go to that church, and he went there for 20 years.
And you nominate this club.
Don't blame me when this ends up bad.
This is all over.
You'll be back to me looking for advice.
Next time I'm charging full price, I will never ever forget this, and you have been warned.
It ain't gonna be pretty when this is over.
And we go back to the phones.
Glad you're with us today, Rush Limbaugh on the fastest week in media, though this one has seemed to progress, at least to me, at a snail's pace.
This is Eddie in Ackworth, Georgia.
Hi, Eddie, I'm glad you called.
Very well, sir.
Thanks for the call.
Good.
Uh I wanted to give you a suggestion basically that you gave to us back in the 90s when Bill Clinton was running around.
And it has helped me calm down this week, and I think you need your own advice.
Um every year when Clinton would give us a State of the Union address, you gave us instructions on a State of the Union viewing kit.
And it involved a piece of paper, tape, and we were instructed to take that to the TV and write on it.
He is a liar.
And that was our viewing kit.
Do you remember that, right?
Oh, yeah.
I I I mentioned that earlier today that it would be fun to for people to do that on their TV sets tonight.
As Obama speaks, what you put the sign you put on your TV is I have no experience and don't know what I'm talking about.
Well, the kid has worked beautifully for me.
Of course, a couple times I've written an S in front of the H E to uh cover Hillary, Nancy, and the others out there, but it's worked beautifully and kept me pretty calm this week.
I've dusted that thing off.
Well, good.
Well, I the I for we need it we need to update it.
It's not enough to say Obama's a liar.
I mean, that's that's uh we've been through that before.
Just I'm in expert I have no experience.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Have that on your TV screen as you if you watch this thing tonight so that you get able to keep it in perspective.
I appreciate the offer.
People audience members uh they heard my eruption in the first hour, and they are hoping Cookie even said, Rush, I don't want you to die.
I want you to live.
Please don't watch this tonight.
I'll watch it.
I'll get you all the audio you need.
And uh don't uh what did Carrie I don't need don't tell me.
I w why do we have to revisit John Kerry?
Revisiting Clinton and Biden is enough.
From the party that's promising all this great future and rot gut garbage, all they're doing is giving us the past.
Uh well that's you know, I was I'm glad I didn't see it because I was reading some some conservative bloggers who were praising Carrie's speech as finally a good one, that he's much better when he's not actually running for something.
The conservative posters at National Review Online on the corner were saying Carrie's speech was was was one of his best.
So if if it's as bad as you say that I'm glad I didn't see it.
I'm glad.
I just I I can't.
I I I I would have totally lost.
I would have lost it worse than I did with Biden.
Then there's a God.
Major sure I didn't turn TV on till eight o'clock.
I d I was I was busy, I was doing I was sitting there not eating.
I was on my diet working hard.
And I uh I I turned on TV at 8 o'clock or maybe it was close to nine.
Um Jim, Kingwood, Texas.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Uh with utmost respect, uh Rush from a very blessed third time caller.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for watching the convention for me so I don't have to.
Well, this country come a long way.
I mean, it used to be a bright, talented young man might be passed over for a position just because he was black, and now we have a bumbling inexperienced young man whose only qualification is that he is black.
But in uh thinking Joe Biden is his running mate, I don't think he's done himself any favor.
I mean, sure Biden gives us Obama some gravitas, but as you pointed out, elections are ultimately dis determined by the only people in this country who can't claim minority status, and that's white males.
And you've said that every man views Hillary as their ex-wife.
Well, we look on Joe Biden as our ex-boss.
He's an insufferable, know it all who doesn't know when to shut up.
He's not a guy look for, look up to, or follow in the battle like McCain.
He's a guy I'd avoid if I saw him coming down the hall.
This is the guy worse than your boss.
This is your co-worker stabbing You in the back every day to get himself advanced.
You got that right.
That's that's that's who Biden is.
Um and plus, he's got this insufferable arrogance at the same time.
You know, the personality can rub you the wrong way if you're working in close confines.
Uh Jim, that's uh that's it.
I you know, this is one thing.
The the race.
In fact, there's a story.
There's there's a story in the uh in a British uh it's the guardian, I think.
And the uh the international drive-by is that doing a lot better covering this presidential race than uh than the domestic drive-by's.
I I've got to find it in a stack.
I don't want to even I don't want to have to try to paraphrase this, but it it was a question.
Somebody asked Jesse Jackson Jr. a question uh about the racial component of the presidential election in Barack Obama, and he wouldn't answer it.
And I rather than rather than paraphrase what the reporter said, I'm gonna find it in the stack in the LA Times today.
There's a she they have a wacko leftist columnist by the name of Rosa Brooks.
And she's she's not happy.
He's Barack Obama, not the Messiah, is the headline of her piece.
Democrats need to temper their expectations.
Their candidate inspires, but there's plenty of hard work ahead.
You have to work to get this guy elected.
He's not the Messiah, Democrats.
Get over it.
Get over it for the obvious pragmatic reason.
If you want a Democrat in the White House, you gotta stop fretting about your nominee's lack of magical powers and uh and and and just work to get him elected.
You want a transformative political leader in Obama, you may have one, but don't expect him to do the transforming all by himself.
Obama's good, but no one's that good for Obama to shepherd in real change.
Uh hey, Rosa, what is your party taught people?
Your party has taught people to wait around for the government.
And here comes Obama who's I'm gonna be the government.
I am it.
I who's who's who's parleying this Messiah thing, Rosa?
Have you seen the place he's gonna do his speech tonight?
Have you seen his logo?
This this w we are the ones we've been waiting for.
The trip the who is it that thinks he's the Messiah?
So you can sit there and you can tell your people to go out there and work hard, but your party doesn't tell people that.
Your party tells them to sit around, do nothing, blame Republicans and others for their plight, and then hope the government comes along and gets even with the people that are screwing you.
If you people would start teaching little self-reliance like Michelle Obama's life was full of, apparently, and like Biden's life was full of, apparently.
I don't know what happened to all these liberal Democrats when they were young.
They had very conservative parents, a very conservative home life.
And they were inspired and taught to be self-reliant people, something along the way came along and said, Well, guess that self-reliance is okay for me, but not when I'm a politician because I want to create as much dependence as I can.
Destroying more and more people's lives each and every day with these messianic promises.
All you gotta do is wait for me to come along, and you.
You may not be okay, but I'm gonna sure as hell get even with those people doing better than you.
Richard and Fresno, you're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Mega Ditto's rush.
Thank you.
From the left coast.
Yeah, I know that Fresno's out there in California.
Yeah, sometimes.
Okay, it's a coronation.
And here's my justification.
His wife appeared on a magnificent stage at the DNC.
So did the old lion Kennedy.
As much as I don't like him, I was glad to see him up on his feet.
Yeah.
You had Hillary Clinton with 18 million votes.
Yeah.
Thanks to us.
That's right.
Then on top of that, you had a two-time Democratic president that wasn't FDR.
Here's the best part.
He's not good enough to appear on that stage.
You must build me a bigger stage in a bigger arena where only I will appear.
That's a coronation where I come from.
Excellent observation.
And you know something else.
Yeah, the Pope's not in town.
Who's gonna put the crown on him?
He's gonna have to crown himself.
No, Nancy Pelosi's there.
She'll she'll she'll probably so she's the Pope.
She just re she just rewrote Catholic doctrine on abortion.
You're right.
I mean, Pope Benedict may still think he's running the show, but Nancy Pelosi's gotten females into the sisterhood over there, and she's Pope Pelosi.
I never thought of it that way.
Nancy Pope Pelosi, hell yes.
Well, there we go.
There's the full circle.
It is.
So Nancy Pope Pelosi will be there with the crown or whatever it is.
You're right.
It's a coronation.
That little stage inside that little basketball arena's too tiny for me.
I'm the Messiah.
They had the decision to do this, made the decision to do this before the European trip.
Right.
From what I'm told.
And that's why they're now having some doubts about it in certain sectors of the Obama campaign.
They did this before the big European where 200,000 people showed up to hear Obama outside of Berlin.
That's an excellent takeout there.
Thank you.
Richard on the way on the left coast.

Hello, Rush Megaditto from the Bible Bell.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey, um, have you heard the one about Jesus rode in on an ass, but he didn't vote for one.
Uh yeah, and I'm thinking if this is a Greek temple thing tonight, and the Democrats are looking for showbiz, why don't they use their own symbol to bring Barry in, which is the ass.
Oh my gosh.
Or and ass.
That's uh and ass.
So you could come in on an ass.
Palm branches and all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, uh uh point I was gonna be.
He's gotta be holding some arugal that he just picked in the fields here to feed the crowd with the just the the arugula.
You can have 75,000 people there, Obama can feed them to hell with a concession stands.
He can feed them arugula.
Here's Rex in uh in Amarillo.
Hi, Rex, welcome to the EIB network.
Yes, thank you.
I'm a volunteer in your truth detector squad.
And you were talking about uh the forehead uh aka Paw Bagala.
Yeah.
What he said that uh this was a speech that every county commissioner could give at a rotary club?
Yes.
Well, that is lie, Rush, because I'm a member of the Rotary Club of Amarillo East, have been for over twenty years.
And political speeches are not allowed at rotary clubs.
That's in our rules.
Really?
So either.
Now my dad, my dad was a Rotarian, but uh I never went there.
I just try to play practical jokes on him.
Uh and the Lions Club.
My uncle was a member of the Lions Club.
If somebody can't, if can't somebody if you can't give political speeches at a rotary club, uh who who are there speeches in there?
Oh, yeah.
Well, what did you have?
Toastmasters come in there and practice on you or what?
What is it?
No, no, no.
We have we have programs uh like uh from the community, you know, uh what's going on in our community, business people, that sort of things.
Uh it's an educational and service club.
No, I understand that, but what do you do when you got somebody who comes in as an obvious liberal who doesn't speak about politics but proposes ideas for the town or the community that are very liberal in nature?
Or if somebody that was a conservative came in and did that without making it overtly political.
I mean, you you're smart enough to spot that stuff.
What would happen?
I I we've never had that happen, but in the event you have, you just don't know.
That's how sneaky the left is.
You probably had those 25 years you've had more liberal ideas espoused in your rotary club than you know.
I don't think so.
Subliminal and stuff.
Well, okay.
Have you had somebody come in and say, we have to do more for the children of our community?
Uh never heard that.
You gotta be kidding I can't believe that.
We have to do more for the elderly in our community.
Don't think so.
Now, Rex.
This, if this is true, this sounds like a fabulous group.
Well, if you want to if you want to improve the neighborhoods in the town in the community of Amarillo, and so by the way, that's where T-Boon's from, isn't it?
Or is he from uh is T-Boon?
He he he used to be here and then he moved to Dallas.
That's right.
That's right.
Right.
By the way, I attended your first two rush to excellence tours in Amarillo.
Yeah, and you know the first one, the air conditioning was on a blink.
Oh, that's right.
And they had and a guy and the guy, the air conditioned repair man was not a fan.
Uh oh.
He was not a fan, but he he's he he did his job.
He did he says, I fixed it so it'll hold for about an hour and a half.
If you go longer than that, it's sweat city for you, pal.
Well, keep up the good work.
All right, thanks, Rex.
I appreciate it.
Here's Timothy in Tucson, Arizona.
Hello, Timothy.
Megadeth.
Thank you.
Yeah, I was uh uh given an article from uh Sunday, November 12th of 2006, and it was about a uh book report on a book called We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For Name.
Doesn't matter, some live, that's all we need to know.
Yeah, it's Alice Walker.
Alice Walker, that's right.
Purple, purple color fame.
Right, and it includes essays extolling Fidel Castro.
Yeah.
That's what was Alec Allen.
Oh, look at everything about Obama is far radical leftist.
Everything about it, and and something you people wonder why do they hang around.
David Horowitz has a great answer about why people like Obama and the Clintons still hang around with these kind of people.
And Horowitz's theory is well, look, these people, the the Obamas and these guys, they went mainstream.
Coat and tie went into the establishment.
They envy the Bill Ayers and the Bernadette Dorns who can still go out and blow up buildings.
They they they they envy the real radicals who haven't had a phony it up.
And that's as good an explanation as I've ever heard Jay Nordlinger pass us along just a minute ago at National Review Online.
Quick timeout will be back and continue.
Stay with us.
Okay, folks, that's it.
I hope you uh have a fine, nice remainder of the day and evening.
