Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
What a sad state journalism must have to be in the phone.
Well, we know it is, but it was on display last night.
The sad state of journalism, you know it's bad when they have to drag Tom Brocaw out of Jurassic Park to moderate the debate.
What happened to Brian Williams?
What happened to Charlie Gibson?
What happened to CB?
Oh, Katie Curry.
Why go to Jurassic Park?
Folks, I am sitting here.
All I can do today is laugh.
I've been having so much fun getting ready for today's show, and you're I'm going to share it with you.
Greetings.
Great to have you with us.
We got broadcast excellence straight ahead.
It's already Wednesday, right?
This is the fastest week in media, the fastest three hours in media.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So I'm reading various reactions to the debate.
And we will parse the debate as it uh it goes on.
I mean, the LA Times calls it a draw.
If this was a draw last night, then Obama was worse than I thought.
Mark Stein writing it National Review Online.
He said Republicans have cause to be disappointed by last night.
As everybody says Obama wins by not losing.
He looks more and more as if he's already the president while McCain prowling the stage, seeking to connect.
Looks more and more like Yosemite Sam after the dynamite fail to go off.
What a great line.
Well, Yosemite Sam after the dynamite failed to go off.
But then he see writes and look, don't give up.
Brian, would you come in lower thermostat I forgot to do he says you gotta we gotta go into uh positive attitude here before we go into terminal spin here because if you look at the polling data that's out there, it's it's confounding.
I mean, last week we were told the election's over.
Chuck Todd last night after the debate said the debate was over before it started when the Wall Street closed markets closed yesterday afternoon.
The drive-by's have been telling us for a week now that it's over, and yet Zogby has Obama up two.
Uh what is it, uh Hotline has Obama up one, and the battleground poll has uh Obama up four.
Oh but this is not this is not a this is a tie.
And these these polls were before the uh the debate last night.
These are the daily tracking polls.
But I mean that this is by no means over, and then they're doing everything they can uh to convince you that it is while the race is obviously tightening up.
4745 in the Reuters C-SPAN Zogby poll.
Let's see, 47.1 to 45.2.
So, yeah, basically uh two points.
Uh Battleground has it up four, but uh Obama four.
That they seem to lag a little bit behind in picking up the uh changes.
But where's this where's this Obama bubble?
Where is it?
You know, something's had this this is this is not happening because of anything McCain is doing.
It might be happening because a little bit of what Sarah Palin is doing, but I actually think that it's it's it's a result of people more and more now paying attention and looking at Obama.
I think this air stuff is uh is damning.
The Obama campaign's clearly defensive about this.
They're talking about it again last night.
And it's they're they're worried about it.
I think Obama is gonna have to come out and denounce Acorn at some point, as this is not the acorn I knew because they are all over the news with all their voter fraud.
They raided the acorn offices in Las Vegas, and they found fraudulent voter registrations for the Dallas Cowboys roster.
Now, can you imagine on election day if this had not been caught?
Yeah, the the uh the election officials uh looking at their list of voters that might come in, that they see Terrell Owens, see Tony Rommel.
So, wow, the the cowboys are coming to Nevada to vote today.
Wow.
Hope I hope we can get an autograph.
But this is happening Indiana, it's happening in Missouri.
Acorn is a totally, it's widely understood now, totally fraudulent Democrat voter registration organization and uh and an affordable housing group.
Their fingerprints are all over the Fannie Mae, Freddie Macordable Housing Crisis, and they are Obama's community organizer group where he worked when he was agitating in the streets in Chicago back in the early days.
He's not going to be able to escape this.
The um uh all the hype, all the media bias, all of the uh uh the the it's over.
Obama can't close this.
He could not close this against Mrs. Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton was finished by the Democrat Party superdelegates.
He could not close it, and he has not closed this.
So uh stay bucked up out there, ladies and gentlemen, because we're this is by no means over.
Now, something else that I'm laughing at.
I read the Los Angeles Times today, and I say, who are these people?
LA Times today is quoting various McCain aides, plural, saying McCain will lose the election if the financial crisis remains the number one issue.
Now, who are these people?
Who are these McCain aides saying something silly like that?
They're essentially saying that McCain has no hope if the economy remains the number one issue.
Barack Obama is profoundly vulnerable on the economy.
I hope this is a bunch of people that are sabotaging McCain and not actually his aides.
Because this is this is silly.
It is stupid.
Obama is vulnerable on so many points, and Yosemite Sam did not want to go there last night.
Yosemite Sam once again talking about how proud he was to have worked with Ted Kennedy and how proud he was to have worked and how Reagan worked with Tip O'Neill.
How many people watching a debate last night do you think know who Tip O'Neill is or was?
He's he's still out there pursuing this this uh this great block of moderates that that everybody everybody mistakenly believes don't like partisanship.
And I've got to ask this question again.
Here we have these moderates, and they don't like partisanship.
They're offended by it.
They want a politics above the usual fray, right?
So then what happens if a Republican, say McCain gets partisan, then these elite moderates get offended and then go to Democrats, as though the Democrat Party is not partisan.
This is a myth.
We have been lied to about this.
The these great moderates out there that Senator McCain is seeking are simply Democrats in waiting.
They are going through the motions of acting like they don't have an opinion on anything.
They're going through the most all this talk about making sure that we appeal to people that don't like partisanship for crying out loud.
Moderates did not and have not defined this country.
And if if moderates ever do start defining this country, it will cease to exist as we know it.
I'm reading the New York Times.
This is another thing.
I just I just at this point, I just had to laugh.
Charlie Black, who has been around Republican presidential politics as long as I've been doing this show and probably longer.
He's a McCain aide.
You know what he told the New York Times, Dawn?
Did you hear McCain's $300 billion idea last night for mortgages just to buy them directly, but the Treasury Secretary to buy these mortgages?
Charlie Black, you know who he credited as having come up with this idea?
Hillary Clinton.
So McCain's number one fundraiser, financial advisor is out there crediting Hillary Clinton in the New York Times, at least the way he's quoted.
Crediting Hillary Clinton for McCain's mortgage idea.
I knew it sounded like a communist idea when I heard it.
Now I know why.
It has roots with Mrs. Clinton.
Some uh some debate thoughts here before we get into the specifics of the audio sound bites, which will come uh later, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh it was it was a terrible debate by both candidates, both were mediocre.
But the problem was the moderator.
The questions were terrible, the answers were not much better, the moderator was bad, he cared more about keeping the clock going and so forth.
This is supposed to be a town meeting.
The town meeting where the people get to ask the questions.
Broke off filtered the questions.
Do you know there were a lot of areas not discussed last night?
Do you know what topics did not come up?
You tell me that the drive-by media is not protecting Obama.
Here's something that did not come up: abortion.
Because if abortion comes up, we find out that Obama's for infanticide.
Well, McCain may not say that, but uh we get it would it would still Obama would be on on uh pins and needles there.
Gun control did not come up.
Judicial nomination, Supreme Court nomination did not come up.
This debate was horrible.
Whoever decided to screen these questions had an agenda in mind, and it was to protect the anointed one.
That one.
Oh, and that's another one.
The Democrats and the Obama campaign, they're all over the all over the place today.
They're mad as hell over McCain saying that one.
These people are awfully defensive.
They've even got a poll of black people saying they don't like it.
They didn't like what McCain said last night.
And wait till you wait till you I'll tell you in a minute.
Why do you and wait till you hear the CNN post-debate commentary?
James Carville suggesting riots will occur in America if Obama is ahead in the polls and loses the election.
Now we got to applaud these comments.
We want CNN to continue to make these comments.
They're nervous.
They are trying to frighten people.
Guess there's one other issue.
One other issue that did not come up last night.
Immigration.
Four issues that have been profoundly important and uh and and all over the place in every presidential race in the last uh twenty years.
Abortion, gun control, judicial nominations, and immigration.
Tom Brokov from Jurassic Park succeeded in seeing to it that those subjects did not come up.
McCain may not have lost the debate.
Everybody's saying he did, but uh Obama didn't say anything of substance.
We could put together another uh uh that would probably go for 30 minutes if we did it today.
But I'll bet whatever numbers of people tombed in drip dropped off like a rock.
All I know right now is that the debate numbers were not anywhere close to the vice presidential debate.
Did you did you hear it was about 1023 last night that Obama said if the United States conserves energy, that will hurt Russia?
Let me tell you what's hurting Russia, right?
You see the oil price is eighty-seven dollars a barrel, eighty-seven dollars a barrel.
You know who's hurting today?
Hugo Chavez, Vladimir Putin and the KGB, and Mahmoud Ahmadinizad.
Those three guys are scrambling.
Oh, and guess what we have found about Bill Ayers?
As recently as two or three years ago, he was in Venezuela having a joint meeting on education with the socialist leader, Hugo Chavez.
We're loaded today, folks.
We're gonna be throwing this stuff at you as fast as you can take it.
So Obama's point, we inflate our tires and that takes down the KGB.
If we just run around and keep our tires inflated, the KGB will not be able to help us.
They're gonna hurt them.
Those tire gauges kick ass, folks, and we learned it again last night.
I thought that was the most naive comment of the night.
Obama and he made a special point of it.
He thought it important to note uh that as a matter of dealing with Russia that we conserve energy.
Obama, if we start producing energy, you little squirrel, if we start producing energy is what's going to threaten the Russia, we start conserving, we're conceding.
If our only policy is conservation, we are conceding.
And get this.
I don't want you people to be worried after Obama assured everybody last night there are only a handful of small businesses that would be affected by his tax increase.
Just a handful.
What are they gonna do?
Put all the small businesses in a lottery and draw some out.
But the thing, the thing, folks, I think of all the things that upset me the most in this debate.
I went out to dinner, a friend of mine had a birthday surprise.
Well, not wasn't a surprise, a small little birthday party at a local eatery here in Palm Beach.
So I'm driving home and I'm listening to the first half hour of the debate on the radio.
And I had to turn it up because uh Brokoff from Jurassic Park is mumbling, and it's it's hard for me to understand exactly what he's saying, but then he comes up, and I don't remember the exact question, but he starts asking both candidates about sacrifice, so what they would tell the American people about sacrifice.
And that just that is like rubbing a raw nerve with me.
This whole notion the Democrats have been on this, the president never asked the people to sacrifice after we started the Iraq War.
The American people hasn't asked.
What does that mean?
Tax increases?
That's what the left means.
But this whole notion of sacrifice, that is a bogus concept in the first place.
They will not define it for you as they really mean it.
Let me tell you what Brokaw and the rest of the left in this country mean when they start promoting you and me sacrificing.
They are saying America is in decline.
We are in a permanent state of decline.
We all need to make sacrifices now because our better days are over.
So we all have to give up something.
That's not what we have to do.
We need, with all that's going on to go out and work even harder to produce even more.
And we can, we have done it throughout our entire existence.
The whole notion of American exceptionalism does not exist in the minds of Barry Obama and all of his supporters on the left, both in the Democrat Party and the media.
American exceptionalism, growth, economic opportunity.
We're going to come out of this slide that we're in at some point.
We always do.
And we're going to grow through the roof again.
Unless we have somebody in the White House whose express purpose is to redesign the functioning of this country.
If the government is in charge of everything How about health care is a right?
Healthcare is a well, if we're gonna say, and he said it last night, Obama, healthcare's a right.
Well, if that's right, why isn't a car a right?
You gotta get to work.
Why isn't food a right?
I would say that we need food on a daily basis far more than we need health care.
You don't eat, you eventually will die, and the buzzards will get you.
Healthcare, a lot of us can go without health care for weeks, months, years at a time.
But health care is a right.
Dangerous times in the mind of little Barry and his support.
What more do these people want sacrifice tax-wise?
We're already paying 30 to 50% of everything we make now, depending on what state you live in.
More sacrifice.
We're already taking care of people in this country who won't take care of themselves, and a lot of people around the world who can't take care of themselves.
What more sacrifice do we have to make?
Anyway, brief time out.
We'll be back and continue with much more right after this.
Ha!
Are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the excellence in broadcasting network as usual, my friends.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Let me tell you what's going to happen here, folks.
Do not do not throw in the towel.
This is nowhere near over.
Obama has a history of not being able to close elections when his opponents are still on the ballot.
He wins big when he doesn't have an opponent.
Ask the babe in Chicago he kicked off the ballot.
Ask the guy in Chicago he kicked off the ballot, effectively by having his divorce records made public.
McCain's gonna be on the ballot.
He doesn't close races.
Mrs. Clinton was on the ballot.
It was only the superdelegates that took him over the finish line.
But here's what's gonna have to happen.
We are going to have to drag Senator McCain.
I want you to listen carefully, snerdily, don't you hear this?
It'll affect call screening.
We're gonna have to drag Senator McCain over the finish line.
And then we're gonna have to deal with what he does in the Oval Office ourselves.
That's that's how this is gonna have to work.
We have to save the country from Obama, and then save it and the Republican Party from whoever McCain puts in his cabinet.
We have to do this one step at a time.
Do not throw in the towel.
Do not believe Chuck Todd, do not believe the drive-by media, do not believe this is over.
It isn't.
Do not fret over Senator McCain raising your expectations in Albuquerque on Monday, going after Obama hard as he can be, and everybody thinking, wow, is the gloves gonna come off of the debate, and you watched this thing last night.
And you don't need your ambient when it's time to hit the pillow.
So these expectations, you know, some friend of mine sent me a note.
I can't believe what I'm watching.
Obama fumbles a ball, and McCain's picking it up and handing it back to him rather than taking the ball and running with it.
So don't don't don't believe, don't, don't it doesn't matter.
What happened in this debate last night is clear snerdily that these debates are not going to shape the election.
Nobody won that debate.
Obama was mediocre.
You can say what McCain was what he was, but the the drive-by said, Yeah, but Obama may not have been a he looked smooth.
He looked debonair.
He looked like the guy standing in the corner at the cocktail with a cigarette, looking at everybody walking by, condemning them, making jokes, putting them down and so forth.
Yes, he's cool, calm and collected.
He's still the most unachieved, unqualified, unprepared individual, a major political party is ever nominated, and maybe any third party has ever nominated to be president of the United States.
He'd done nothing.
He talks, and he says nothing when he talks.
Says nothing better than anybody else ever has said nothing, but it's still nothing.
So one step at a time.
We drag Yosemite Sam across the finish line, and then we deal with what we got to deal with there to save the Republican Party.
It's all going to happen, but you gotta stay tuned in here.
Hey, this business about sacrifice.
Tom Brokov Jurassic Park last night.
Well, Obama sacrifice.
Well, you'll the American people sacrifice.
Why is it always the American people?
The eyes on the left who have to sacrifice.
How about the government sacrifice a little?
You notice the government will never do with less.
How about bureaucrats sacrificing a little bit?
How about some politicians sacrifice by resigning?
Let other people take a whack at governing.
You know, Obama, or I'm sorry, it was Senator McCain who talked about Eisenhower having written two letters prior to the D-Day invasion, one thanking everybody for their hard work and a successful mission, the other his resignation if it didn't work.
There are a bunch of Democrats with their fingerprints all over this financial mess, who, if they had any honor would resign.
But oh no, no, no, no, no.
Five congressional hearings going on in this financial mess, and not one of them is about Fannie May or Freddie Mack.
Christopher Shays, a moderate, is fuming.
He's a moderate Republican from uh Connecticut.
He's fuming over this, and he has been promised by Henry Nostralitis Waxman that they'll eventually get to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
No, the people that have their fingerprints all over this got to design the fix, and we see how that's going.
Where's the DJI today?
200 and something is down today.
I'm hearing the experts, whoever the hell they are, I don't think there are any more, saying the bottom will be around 85 or 870.
Means we got a long way to go here, folks, before we bottom out.
If these clowns happen to be right.
How about uh how about Frank Reigns and Jamie Garellick and Jim Johnson?
Why don't they sacrifice a little bit?
They walked out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a bunch of money they really didn't earn after having cooked the books.
Why don't they sacrifice a little bit?
How about Acorn?
Why don't they sacrifice chop stealing elections?
Stop engaging in voter fraud.
How about Obama support those who actually sacrifice?
Military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world.
Those are the people who really sacrifice.
And these are the people that Barack Obama, the Democrat Party for the last six years impugned, impugned their honor, impugned their mission, proclaimed their mission a failure, said we couldn't win.
They tell us.
What will you say the American people?
Said Tom Broco, Jurassic Park.
When the left talks of sacrifice, they don't mean working with your church or your local charity.
What they mean is you support socialism.
Now, H. R. Kit Carson, the trusted and loyal chief of staff of mine here at the EIB Network said, I thought the dumbest question was the one Brokaw asked these guys about who their next Treasury Secretary would be, because Hank Paulson would not serve beyond the end of President Bush's term.
And I'll tell you why that question was asked.
It's it from from the standpoint of the elites In Washington and New York, it was not a stupid question at all.
Now, look at me and follow me on this.
I will begin this little explanation of why that question about who the next Treasury Secretary is going to be is so important to people like Tom Brokov of Jurassic Park and everybody else in the drive-by media, everybody who lives in the New York Washington corridor.
Remind me again, folks, why we even need a Constitution now.
Why we've got the feds.
The individual is no longer the foundation of the country.
That's what this bailout is telling us.
We aren't the answer.
The American people, our individual efforts, productivity, ambition, creativity, we aren't the answer.
Not according to these people.
No, we are the burden.
The federal government now runs things.
Our economy, and here's the answer to your question.
Why was this question about the next Treasury Secretary so important?
Because the economy is now run by the Treasury Secretary.
Well, it is.
The $700 billion bailout gave him exclusive authority to ensure the welfare, economic welfare of the country.
The Constitution doesn't say insure.
It says promote the general welfare.
The reason Brokaw asked that question is I'll guarantee you, Herbie Allen and his good buddies in the media that go up there in Idaho every summer for their big media summit wanted him to ask that question to find out who these two guys say is going to be the Treasury Secretary, because the Treasury Secretary is running the economy.
You and I are a burden.
We are not the answer.
The Treasury Secretary is bailing us out.
The Treasury Secretary is buying up our bad decisions.
The Treasury Secretary is providing cover for Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
The Treasury Secretary is our economy's messiah.
The Treasury Secretary.
How backwards is that?
I guess if we're going to have the Treasury Secretary take over the economy, we need to let the Attorney General take over the writing and enforcement of laws.
We got a crime problem in this country, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Detroit.
You got murder rates that have Iraqis glad they don't have to live here.
It's a crisis.
It's time for the Attorney General to ensure the safety of every American, just like the Treasury Secretary has the authority now to insure the welfare of every American.
Forget local anything.
We need action.
We need the people who created the problem to step in and fix it.
So the Attorney General gets to write all the laws from now on.
And enforce them.
All we need is one more dependable liberal on the Supreme Court to work hand in hand with the Treasury Secretary and the Attorney General.
That way seven people can run the.
We don't even need a president.
We can elect a president, be a figurehead, he'll go to funerals, the vice president, who knows what the hell he'll do now.
But we're going to have the Supreme Court working hand in hand with the AG and the Treasury Secretary.
Seven people that way can run the country.
The liberal majority of the Supreme Court, and you get five of those people, and then the Treasury Secretary and the Attorney General.
Forget innovation.
Forget creativity.
We need central planning and execution of the central plan.
We should shut up.
We should sit down.
We should turn on the network television and wait.
We shouldn't pray.
No, no, no, we don't pray.
We hope.
We hope for the best.
We have the Fed.
Not as in Fed up, but as in the Fed and Big Brother.
It comes from the Treasury Secretary and soon from the Attorney General.
Change.
That's where it's going to come from.
Change will no longer come from the ground up.
And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, you don't elect the Treasury Secretary, nor do you elect the Attorney General, nor do you elect the Supreme Court justices.
The individual, if this all, if this all plays out the way Obama and his buds have it figured, the individual will have no role to play.
You have a right to health care.
You have a right to your have your welfare insured by the Treasury Secretary.
The government in Washington runs our lives.
The Constitution is becoming more irrelevant by the day.
The federal government doesn't promote the general welfare anymore.
It now ensures it with $700 billion.
They are going to ensure our economic welfare with $700 billion.
As if it's possible.
Brief timeout, got to hear of some of the post-debate commentary.
Do you understand now why the Treasury Secretary question was so important to the very pe and not the that question was not asked so that McCain and whoever Obama would answer it for the American people?
This was for the markets.
This was the uh the whole cabal now that put this bailout together.
They want to know.
They wanted to hear what the candidates would say.
And and McCain, who did he say?
Uh Meg Whitman.
He didn't say Buffett last night, did he?
He did.
He said Obama's looking at Buffett.
Oh, yeah, Obama's.
As though Buffett really wants the pay cut.
Of course, if you give Buffett $700 billion to play with, George Soros, yeah, I can see where they might be attracted to that.
Meg Whitman of eBay on the very day that eBay, she's not there anymore, but the very day that eBay announced what was it, 1,500 layoffs?
I like 15% of the workforce.
15% of the workforce.
Well, anyway, brief timeout.
We've got lots straight ahead, including your exciting thrill packed.
Eagerly anticipated phone calls.
Stay where you are.
Okay, we are back.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Again, I uh I'm sorry to make an issue of this, folks, and it's sharing with you observations.
When I when I watch this to say, I'm listening to it on the way home, first half hour on the radio.
I get home, I turn it on, the first thing I see the broke off.
I'm watching the movie Cocoon here.
Where's the swimming pool?
All right.
Um audio soundbite time.
This series of post-debate comments of people on CNN.
Uh, is interesting.
Because you know, you look at the polls here today, and it's very odd.
I thought this was all over.
I could have sworn it was.
Everybody keeps telling me it's over.
Uh you'd think Obama had a uh 15 to 10 point lead.
But he doesn't.
What's going on here, frankly, is the American people are, as I said yesterday, focusing on Obama, and they are not comfortable with him.
They are not comfortable with his massive government approaches to everything, not comfortable with his Mr. Cool attitude and his growing cockiness.
They're not comfortable with his terrorist friends.
People don't like terrorists.
And they're not comfortable that he knows anything about which he talks about.
He does not know.
How many of us can say we have anything in common with Osama bin Laden?
Barack Obama can.
Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden both have friends who bombed the Pentagon.
Yeah.
Obama has the media behind him, he has history behind him, he has events behind him, and yet the race is tight.
He can't close the deal.
Do you know at this time in the election of 2000, what was it, 2000?
Al Gore was up by 11?
And lost to George W. Bush.
Democrats, as you will hear in these upcoming soundbites, are now playing for keeps, threats, intimidation, voter fraud lies, whatever it takes.
They want this election, they will stop at nothing to get it, which is why we must stop them.
If it will help you not to watch the next debate because you don't want to get depressed, don't watch it.
I'll watch it and tell you what you missed.
If watching the next debate, like last, if it depresses you, makes you mad, don't watch it.
I will.
I'll tell you when it's time to head south, and it's not time to head south.
The Democrats, the drive-by media are scared because Obama is supposed to be way ahead.
Remember, they asked this question about a month ago.
How come head?
We don't understand this.
We're pushing him over and pushing him, we're giving him all this biased coverage.
Why didn't he why isn't he ahead?
Troy Carville says what he said you're gonna hear in a moment.
They're scared.
They want us to believe it every point or two in Obama's polling data is a trend, and that he is unstoppable, but that's not the case.
Here is David Rodham Gurgen talking with Anderson Cooper on CNN last night.
Question, do you think that despite the lead in the polls, people might change their minds once they're actually in the voting booth?
I think it's too early to declare a victory, Anderson.
Because Barack Obama is black.
And I think until we play out the issue of race in this country, I don't think we all will know, and maybe less late in the campaign.
We don't know about the race factor in America now.
I think until this is a good thing.
I think it could close some before it's over.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, that means that David Rodham Gergen now joins the ranks of leftists in the drive-by media who have already written his post-election comments.
This is a disgrace.
He's already written his comments for post-election.
Should Obama lose?
Well, I don't know what we can answer.
It's too early to declare victory, Anderson.
Well, it's not because Obama's black, Mr. Gergen.
It's too early to declare victory because no votes have been well, other than fraudulent votes in Ohio.
The election hasn't happened yet.
That's why you can't declare victory.
What how stupid do these people think we are?
So once again, we get the subtle hint that America is still racist.
Deeply steeped, joyously so in its racist path.
And it will come back to haunt the candidacy of the historic candidacy won Barack Obama.
If we accept Gergen's point here, too early to declare victory because Obama's black.
If we accept his point that if Obama loses, it's because of race.
Then we have to conclude that if he wins, it's because of race.
Don't we?
If he wins, it's going to be because of race.
It certainly isn't going to be about content of character or issues because nobody knows about that.
I'll tell you something else.
You know, this is the American people do not need lectures from Harvard professors, telling them they are racist unless they vote for Obama.
And only if they vote for Obama are they true Americans.
That crap might fly in the Harvard faculty cafeteria, but it doesn't fly in real America.
And I guarantee you they're all talking about it in Harvard cafeteria.
This terrible country Obama is probably doesn't have a chance.
This country is so we get preached to.
We're still racist.
The real reason you can't declare victory is because the election hasn't happened.
Here is James Carville, who says this about Obama losing.
Now, let me be clear here.
If Obama goes in this race with a five-point lead and loses this election, the consequences are, oh man.
I mean, I don't think that's going to happen, but I think I think David is it's a point to bring up.
But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five-point lead and loses the election.
It would be very, very, very dramatic out there.
What does that mean?
What does it mean to be a very traumatic idea?
Let me be clear here.
Obama goes in this race, five-point lead, loses the election, the consequences.
Bull, man.
I mean, I don't think that's going to happen.
But I think David, it's a point to bring up, but you stop and contemplate this country.
If Obama goes in, he got a five-point with very tremendous.
He's talking about riots.
He's talking about riots out there.
Why can't he be?
Because he's a pleasant, loving, and caring, capacity Democrat.
He's talking about riots.
Gergen talked about race.
Carvel follows it up talking about going to be traumatic out there.
We should take heart in the comments of Gergen and Carville and Begala.
Here.
Here's Bagala.
He says that Palin's attacks are racist.
This is why what Sarah Palin is doing is so dangerous.
In the views of the Associated Press, they said her attack on this whole Bill Airstings was racially tinged.
That's not what a Democrat said.
This Associated Press said.
And it harkens back to at the convention.
She had this quote in her convention speech, a kind of anodyne quote about how small towns are good.
Well, Bobby Kennedy Jr. looked it up, and it was from a guy named Westbrook Pegler, who Kennedy describes as a fascist and avowed racist, who wrote this about Bobby's father, Senator Kennedy.
Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies.
Now, why does this governor have such an affinity for such a hate monger?
To quote him in her speech, why is she now saying things that the Associated Press says is very divisive?
Associated Press Obama, you mean?
AP Obama?
APO?
So Palin is racist because she caters to small town America.
So CNN's on this racial thing.
They are worried, they are scared.
We should take to heart their comments.
How about that quote from the forehead?
Hey, it's not a Democrat saying this, it's the Associated Press.
