Time Text
Holy cow, I just looked at the call screener board.
It's all women.
And it's all acorn.
And they're all upset about voter fraud.
And we're going to get into that in mere moments.
Also, Sarah Palin joining us in about a half hour at 132, 133 this afternoon on the EIB network.
We have her for about 10 minutes.
As she'll be on a campaign bus, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
Nice to have you with us.
Great to uh have this chance to discuss the future of our country with you on a daily basis.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
You know, there's so many billions, hundreds of billions of dollars flying around out there.
So we got to be careful.
We might get drowned in this stuff.
We got a $700 billion bailout.
We have a $150 billion to get Congress to vote for the bailout.
That's $750 or $700 plus the 150 made an $850 billion bailout.
We have a new Pelosi bailout stimulus package that she announced yesterday of $150 billion.
We don't have any details on how many billions it'll cost to get that vote through Congress.
And then we have Obama's hundreds of billions that he's promising, and then the best of all the governments insuring bank deposits, up to 250,000 per account.
How long is it going to be before gold gets up to 100,000 an ounce?
Can you say inflation with all this?
Speaking of which, there is a piece today in the New York Times by David Brooks.
I don't have it in front of me.
I didn't print it out, but you ought to read it.
I'm I don't have time to print it out and share it with you, but it is a lament of the coming big government.
It's a lament about how it's just unfair.
It's just unit's un it's unfortunate that the moderate Barack Obama will probably lose out to the liberal Democrats once the get once the government's taken over by Democrats after this election, they're going to win everything.
And Obama has sympathies with some of the far left, and he has sympathies with moderate Democrats, but the liberal far-left Democrats are going to win on everything.
And we're just going to go to hell on a handbasket.
We're going to have we're it's going to be the exact opposite of the Gingrich Revolution in 1994.
And I'm reading this.
What are you complaining about?
This is exactly what you advocated.
This is a kind of when you're activating moderate government, moderate this, when you say moderate, you're you're talking Democrat.
So we had poor old Bill Crystal yesterday saying the McCain campaign should be fired.
When the McCain campaign's exactly what these guys have been advocating for eight years, and now we've got David Brooks lamenting the coming big government that's going to drown us all for a while before the backlash to it begins.
And it's exactly what he's been at, whether he knows it or not.
I mean, just it's it's it's stunning.
And these guys don't affect policy.
They're just tran they're just spectators, so don't misunderstand.
I just I just find it funny that that so many people on our side supposedly let me put it this way.
We don't hear that the era of Reagan's over anymore, do we?
And that's what got all this started.
The Ear of Reagan's over.
We gotta we gotta moderate and redefine conservatism, and we're gonna make sure it uh it attracts the uh low-income and uh moderate independent voters in America that uh Reagan conservatism left behind, which was a which was a a lie, a mistake to believe that in in the uh in the first place.
This election, I can't believe some of the things happening out there.
This is from uh Ohio.com.
Poll workers from opposing sides in the presidential race clashed in a physical altercation Freddie at Cuyahoga Falls nursing home.
When one accused the other of improperly marking a ballot, George Manos, 75-year-old Republican, told the cops that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists.
We had a riot at an old folks' home over the election.
Manos said that two other election workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls Police.
Manos said it happened after he accused the 73-year-old Edith Walker of ballot temperature.
She probably works for Acorn.
Acorn's got people everywhere.
Why wouldn't we think we got them in the old folks' homes?
The incident uh which which occurred about noon at the gardens of Western Reserve nursing home, is being invested by both the cops and the Summit County Elections Board.
The board probe could lead to a closer examination of other votes with which Walker, Edith Walker, 73-year-old Democrat, was involved.
The alleged assault piqued the interest of McCain's campaign as the voter in question reportedly wanted to vote for McCain, but her ballot was initially marked for Obama.
A troubling report that emphasizes the importance of having a transparent and open process in every voting place in Ohio.
Fat chance.
And then this, right up the road here, Dawn.
Port St. Lucy, Florida.
If you think back and forth between the candidates is getting ugly, presidential politics got downright physical in uh in Port St. Lucy last Thursday night, according to a report released Friday.
The report states at about 7.20 p.m.
Thursday, two diners in back-to-back booths of a restaurant in the 2000 block a courtyard circle in St. Lucy West were arguing about the upcoming election when one turned away and said he didn't need to hear it anymore.
At that point, one of the arguers, Johnny Morales 26, got out of his seat, grabbed the other arguer by his head and slammed it into the wall, causing a minor laceration with bleeding to the back of the victim's head.
Morales was charged with simple battery.
The report didn't give the men's political affiliations.
Well, in each case, who do you think?
Which party do you think the instigators of this violence are part of?
To me, that would be the Democrat Party.
American taxpayers are paying a criminal organization to elect Barack Obama.
And we're going to send more Democrats to the House and Senate.
Acorn plus Ayers plus Democrats equals the mortgage meltdown.
This should be explained.
Let me tell you what this Acorn stuff really is.
I mean, you've I mean by now, a lot of you have heard about Acorn.
Stanley Kurtz, by the way, has just an amazing piece of work today at National Review Online.
And let me let me give you just his opening paragraph.
It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg.
Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright's sermons, Obama gave legitimacy and a whole lot of money to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright.
And guess what?
Bill Ayers is still paling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago.
All this is revealed by a bit of digging.
Combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the Education Foundation, Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 90s, the ones they were these papers were so hard to find.
John McCain take note, Obama's title right is no longer a purely personal question, if it ever was one, about one man's choice of his pastor.
The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Jeremiah Wright's anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.
Stanley's piece runs seven pages printed out, and every page has information on it worth being highlighted.
John Pedorit's blogging today at Contentions, which is the blog portion of the commentary magazine website, has a theory about why McCain has long said that Jeremiah Wright is off limits.
But Pedoritz's theory is that McCain is desperate to get the endorsement of Colin Powell.
And fears he will lose the endorsement of Colin Powell if he brings up and focuses on Jeremiah Wright.
Just a theory.
It's as good as anything I know of.
Jeremiah Wright is a sitting duck to tie to Obama.
All of these associations, and by the way, these are not associations, these are alliances.
What do we know about Frank Davis, for example?
He's a communist, he's a sex pervert, an influential figure in Obama's childhood.
What do we know about Bill Ayers?
We know that he is the original Timothy McVeigh.
And we know that he's probably now the ghost writer of Obama's first book.
We also know very little about Jeremiah Wright, except that he's racist, anti-Semite, and an Obama's spiritual mentor and friend.
And Antoine Tony Resco, real estate consultant, friend and felon.
That's what we know about these people.
We know that they're all very close and have been very close to Obama, and these alliances tell us more about who Obama is than he's willing to tell us himself who he is.
Well, for some reason, Reverend Wright is off the table.
And it sounds like Ayers is off the table a little bit, too.
The New York Post today, seven-year-old gets an acorn vote.
and Her name is uh O'Janne Smith, ready and registered to vote this November.
There's only one problem, she's seven.
The Connecticut Connecticut girl, 11 years too young, and nobody in her family knows how she ended up on a voter registration form submitted by Acorn, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform now.
That Obama worked with, there are pictures of him.
He's denying it, he's lying about it, he worked with them.
He helped organize them.
They helped teach him what they do.
He got them funding the uh Senate bill authored by Richard Durbin.
Now, one of the things you have to understand about Acorn.
We've all heard in the last weeks that they're out there registering the Dallas Cowboys offensive line.
Or the the entire Dallas Cowboys rostered it.
They're registering Mickey Mouse.
You know, all these names that you say to be thrown out.
There are two reasons that they are doing this.
And both of them do not necessarily have to do with the fact that these people, whoever they are, are going to show up and vote.
The first objective of having so many fraudulent, questionable registrations at each polling precinct is to create chaos among the poll workers.
And you look at you know when you go to vote, these poll workers are volunteers.
They're not hard to overwhelm them.
Ask them a question about your voting machine, and it might take a while to get the answer.
I mean, they're great people, they're just they're citizens, they're volunteers.
You overwhelm them with a bunch of garbage registrations.
And they just it creates chaos, and when they chaos is created, the phone call goes out to a lawyer for Obama Biden, who then comes in and accuses voting irregularities of taking place, charges voter irregularities taking place, and they answer the polls to stay open a little longer, or all kinds of things like this is exactly what happened in St. Louis in 2000, 2004.
The other reason, the other reason to have all kinds of fraudulent registrations, not necessarily for people to use and vote when the polls close, and everything's over and done with.
You've got all these unused registrations, people that didn't show up to vote.
All you have to do is have one acorn worker as a poll worker.
And if you need the votes, if you need...
Some votes from that particular precinct, you've got a whole stack of unused voter registration cards that you can just after the polling place is closed.
What do you think happened in Lake County, Indiana, which is Gary, Indiana, during the primaries between Hillary and Obama.
The idiot mayor up there of Gary started bragging on TV.
Well, we're dealing with this as fast as we can.
They went out, wanted some FaceTime.
He essentially said we're trying to see what we need here.
That's why there's so many reasons for doing all of this.
I don't care how you slice it, it is cheating through and through.
Acorn bought and paid for by your taxpayer dollars for the last 30 years.
We've got Governor Palin coming on here in about uh twelve or so minutes.
I want to get some phone calls on when we get back, stay with us.
Grab some phone calls, start in Pittsburgh.
This is Carol.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, Mr. Limbaugh, first time caller, and it's an honor to speak to you.
Thank you very much.
Um I wanted to let you know that in the last couple of elections I volunteered um in lawyers for Bush.
And one of the essential points that has been being missed by the media, although you actually brought it up right before the break, is that ACON by increasing the raw numbers is increasing the number of available boat votes.
And just as you indicated, that it doesn't matter whether or not these newly registered voters actually show up at the end of the night when the polls are closing, they just vote those people as Democrats.
Now tell me how this happens because we're we all believe here that people working the polls have no affiliation, that they're all nonpartisan, they may vote themselves, but I mean they're they're volunteers that uh the the We we don't envision that kind of cheating going on.
It we we're aware that it might happen here and there, but you're making it sound like it's pretty universal where Eric Acorn's involved.
How's it happen?
Well, I don't think that it's actually necessarily acorn that does this.
What it does is that by acorn allowing there to be a greater number of raw voters, the people who actually run the polls can then vote the people at the end of the night.
So what happens is that so the Democrats need to have Democrat poll workers and there is a majority of the poll workers working in order to pull this off.
Well, that is actually a reality in the city of Pittsburgh and for uh a sizable amount of of Pennsylvania, I believe.
And so what happens is that um in the inner cities you do have a a high number uh and predominantly Democrat poll workers, and they're actually I think they have a they're elected in you know in their own areas, but then poll workers who volunteer for the various campaigns then are permitted to go in and oversee what is happening at the polls.
But uh at the end of the night, what happens is that the for instance the lawyers for Bush or the lawyers for McCain simply don't have enough people who are there and available to actually oversee the clothes.
Well, but at the same time, you're gonna have uh, for example, in this instance, you would have Obama Biden voters uh lawyers already there because they'd be called in with all the chaos.
Well, that's true.
And what I can tell you is that um the poll workers actually take people into the voting booth and they show them what to pool.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Um I can tell you our job um as lawyers for Bush was to oversee the poll volunteers to who were working for the the Bush campaign.
And they were just checking to see who's showing up and you know, to find out whether the Republican voters were coming in and whether the election laws were being followed.
So you'd make sure, for instance, that the um absentee voter list was posted on the walls, and the Democrats actually elected officials who were there, and there might be one Republican there, but it was predominantly Democrats.
They did not want you there.
They did not want you looking at the law to make sure that the absentee voter list was there.
Because it must be posted so that when if that voter actually shows up to vote, that then they're not permitted to vote.
And that is not what was happening.
In fact, then what happened was that the um the carry, the lawyers for carry would come in, and actually they were threatening to call the police.
We were not doing anything to interfere with any actual voting, but we were asking the the the elected poll workers whether or not appropriate um uh procedures were being followed.
You have any idea whether all this cheating uh is helping Democrats win, say in Pennsylvania.
If this weren't going on in Pennsylvania, do you think Bush or maybe McCain this year would actually carry Pennsylvania?
Absolutely.
Really?
Because Pennsylvania is predominantly a conservative place, especially on social issues.
Yeah, certainly Western Pennsylvania tend to be a little bit more conservative than eastern Pennsylvania, you get the Philadelphia and the suburbs and the inner city there.
But it this what your your story, and believe me, I've I've I've gotten emails from people who are telling similar stories here as Carroll has related.
It makes me think that without this going on, there would be landslide defeats of Democrats all across this country in various states.
I believe that to be true.
And what I can tell you is that the moveon.org people were outside and inside the polling areas, and they were very aggressive and in fact attempting to intimidate voters and the people who were volunteering for Bush.
It was a very intimidating time to be um uh a woman trying to help the poll workers.
And a lot of the volunteers for Bush, surprisingly, were young men and women who had never done this before.
I'm not so Carol, I gotta run here because of the constraints of time, but I appreciate your call.
Thanks much for the story.
Sarah Palin, if she's been able to find the time here when we come back, stay with us.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Limbaugh, long cool woman.
Black dress.
The Hollies taking us into our little chat here with Governor Sarah Palin, vice presidential nominee for John McCain.
Governor Palin, welcome to the program.
It's nice to have you here.
A pleasure to peak to speak with you.
Hey, thank you so much.
And ditto's from Scranton.
Scranton, Pennsylvania on the bus.
We just got off the bus.
We're heading into a rally here, but wanted to take a couple of minutes to get to say hi and let you know what we're doing, Rush.
Well, I tell you, you know, I uh I was in a quandary here this morning.
I admire you so much, I really don't know what to ask.
I was tempted to say, okay, Governor Palin, you got ten minutes.
Let it rip.
But let me let me tell uh one thing I do want to ask you about.
Um Obama's comment yesterday to the plumber who said, Why are you gonna raise my taxes?
And he said, Well, you know, I it's not that I want to punish you, it's that I want to we want to spread the wealth around.
Which seems to me to sum it up that uh th this this th this this is contrary to every economic and constitutional principle for which this nation stands, and it seems this comment by Obama, and I know that Senator McCain hit this this morning, is just an excellent opportunity for your campaign to contrast your vision of America with his.
Absolutely.
You know, people on November 4th, they're gonna have the choice.
You can either support a ticket that will support policies to create jobs.
We do that by reducing taxes and reigning in government growth and allowing our country to be energy independent, or you choose the ticket that's gonna kill jobs by increasing taxes, just like Barack Obama is purporting today.
Now, Governor Palin, do you um do you I don't know how to ask this?
The people that are being thrilled to death by your presence, the people that have been revved up, our side who um uh prior to your being chosen were not nearly as excited as they are now as as they are now.
And one of the reasons for it, Governor Palin, is that you seem to understand the stark choice we have and the real danger the country faces in the future if the Obama Biden ticket is elected.
And I'd just like to know, do you see it that way?
Do you see it beyond just an average normal uh presidential campaign in any given four-year period?
I do.
I I see.
I mean, this November fourth, we're we're gonna set the course for the the future of our great country.
We're gonna go one direction or the other, and you know, you um understand that our our ticket, what we're all about is pro-growth pro-sector, we're tax cuts, we're reigning in government, we're proponents of the culture of life that uh would make America better off.
We're adamant about winning the wars with the strongest military in the world.
We're um all those things that we stand for that I think are so clearly articulated with our message with the plan that's been expressed.
Uh we we can go that direction, or we can go in the complete opposite direction of all those aforementioned uh goals that we have in mind, uh, if you if you choose the other ticket.
Well now the when as I listen to your campaign appearances and uh and Senator McCain's, uh it seems that you are the more forceful in speaking out against Obama and his campaign ideas.
Are they giving you pretty much free reign to uh to to attack this campaign as you wish?
Well, you know, there just aren't enough hours in the day, I think, to get out there and Rush, I I've got nothing to lose in this, and I think America has everything to gain by understanding the differences, the contrast here between Obama and McCain.
So, you know, I'm going out there and I'm just simply speaking, so be it that I'm a simple talker, but I'm just going out there and letting people know the differences and how absolutely paramount it is that voters are paying attention and that voters are understanding candidate records, their associations, their plans for the future.
Instead of being kind of wrapped up into all this rhetoric of Obama's and buying into it and not holding him accountable for the things that he's done, the things that he's said, his associates, and where he wants to take America.
exactly the media's not holding him accountable.
The media is covering up for him.
That's why there is so much uh uh enthusiasm for you, because you are the one in this campaign who is holding him to account and trying to explain who he is and who his alliances are with and have been.
There were two stories today, one in the Los Angeles Times, one in the New York Times, both saying how wonderful you are as a speaker.
The New York Times posited that you are the most forceful and dynamic speaker of all four candidates on the presidential circuit.
Then they said your forcefulness and your opinionatedness and your your uh your your your your uh charisma and your overwhelming ability to say what you mean is driving away moderates.
Now, this is an attempt to get you to shut up.
This is an attempt by the media to make you stop being who you are.
What it means is they're really worried about the effectiveness that you have.
Well, yeah, I guess that message is they do want me to sit down and shut up, but that's not gonna happen.
Uh I care too much about this great country.
Now, yes, speaking of some of those associations, and you're right, mainstream media is not holding Barack Obama accountable.
Let's talk quickly about Acorn and the unconscionable that we're facing right now with voter fraud.
And given the ties between Obama and Acorn and the money that his campaign has sent them and the job that he had with them in the past, uh Obama has a responsibility to reign an acorn and prove that he's willing to fight voter fraud.
We called him on it.
He's not gonna do that.
He's been paying for them.
He's he's not gonna reign them.
This is why you guys have to have the responsibility.
Obama's not gonna do anything to harm himself.
Well, here's the deal, then we call him on it again today, right?
As we had almost a month ago, well, we reached out to Obama and and um you know that we said that there has to be an effort to cooperate on potential voter fraud.
That was a month ago.
Wouldn't surprise you, of course, that we haven't received a response from back then.
But again, though, calling him on it again today.
And for shame if the mainstream media were to cover this one up, there's already been too much um ignorance, ignoring of his associations with with and with others in the past.
But this acorn stuff, it is unconscionable.
I don't mean to always harp on the media here because everybody does this, but this is a true observation.
If it weren't for the media covering up for Obama and presenting him in a as a person he's not, he wouldn't be at thirty percent in the polls.
He wouldn't be your odds therefore are formidable.
The things that you and Senator McCain have to overcome in these last three weeks, because you're you're you're not only waging a race, there's my opinion, I she's not saying this, folks.
I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, Governor, but you're waging a race not just against uh your Obama and Biden, you're waging a race against most of the mainstream media in this country.
And a lot uh one of the things I have to go back and ask you before we lose our time with you.
Something that profoundly offended me.
You have borne up under this well.
You're you uh from Alaska thrust into the national stage.
They start these attempts to destroy you uh based on your uh apparent uh uh treasonous behavior to feminism.
How did it make you feel when they said you had no business being chosen for vice president because you have a child to raise?
Oh, isn't that something double standards or something else?
But you know what?
If if my skin isn't thick enough to take those um pretty immature shots that are coming from some of them on the other side, then I have no business thinking that I could serve as vice president and keeping it in perspective too, Rush, when you consider the true shots that actually hurt people across America, those who are worried about losing their homes, their jobs, their maybe their kid or their special in the war zone, they're worried about um that person's safety.
Those are the true shots that really matter in America today.
So the political jazz.
Oh no.
We lost the cell call.
And I had one last question to go before that answer.
And the question was going to be maybe she'll call us back real quick.
I'll hold here and uh see if they if they do try to get back.
Uh and I'll give you a heads up on the question I was uh I was gonna ask her.
She's got to be enjoying this.
I want to ask she seems like she really enjoys this.
Here she comes from Alaska.
She's thrust into the uh into the national stage, and all of a sudden now she's really eating this up, and she's the reason for the crowds.
And I wonder how her uh future in politics as she assesses it is.
Governor Palin, we have you uh we have you back.
Hey, I'm back, sorry.
Sorry, we l now got one question.
I know your time is short.
A lot of people are um I have we uh uh we had dinner.
A friend of mine had dinner with another friend in Cleveland about three weeks ago, and this guy, uh, whose name you would know, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna protect his identity, was just going on and on and on about how impressed he was with the fact that all of a sudden, out of nowhere you get thrust onto a national stage from Alaska, you show up one day in Ohio, and it appears that you had bags packed for a month, that you had all of the logistics uh handled.
He was profoundly impressed just by the human challenge that you overcame there.
Now you're you're on the trail, and everybody watching you, including me, seems to think you really like this, that you're into it, that you're a natural at it.
So therefore, have you even thought about a political future beyond this campaign?
Ah, that's a that's a good question.
No, because I'm thinking about November fourth, and I am just so absolutely passionate about the job that we have in front of us from now till November fourth, getting people to understand how important paying attention.
Well, let me bring up one more thing real quickly about the economy and taxes and Obama and its flip-flopping and his inconsistencies there that should jeez.
That this should make people question what his intentions are.
Uh now we're pressing Obama on taxes, right?
Because he's known as somebody who would raise taxes on you.
He's voted ninety-four times for higher taxes, including increased taxes on people making just forty-two thousand dollars a year.
So he said repeatedly he would consider abandoning his plan for all these huge tax increases of his if the economy was weak.
Quote, he said, if it were weak.
But even today, not being able to admit that, okay, the economy is weak, but it's not weak enough for Obama to say he won't raise taxes.
He will raise taxes.
People have to understand that, and then from there, let them make the best decision.
The point about that comment to me, Governor Palin, is he's admitting that his economic plan will slow down the economy.
So whether it's weak or strong, who needs that?
We don't need somebody as president who admits his objective is going to harm economic growth.
This is this man poses a serious danger.
I know that uh I know that you're aware of it, and uh a lot of people are counting on you.
I'm not trying to add any more pressure to you than you already have, but a lot of people have really uh have struck a cord.
You've struck a chord with them, and uh we look at these crowds that uh that you're drawing out there, and it keeps everybody fired up.
So keep it up.
Okay, oh I and I certainly will, but the crowds that we're drawing, it's just good common sense, hard working, patriotic Americans who are saying, right on, it is time for change, but uh it's the change that matters that they're concerned about.
They're standing in the rain for two hours to get in to see you.
They're after driving an hour and a half to get there, and that's because you have re-energized them.
Well, I love them, and um we're not gonna let them down.
I promise you, Rush, we're not gonna let you down.
We're not gonna let these good patriotic hardworking Americans down.
We're gonna put government back on their side.
Thanks, Governor Palin.
Appreciate your time and all the best down the road the next three weeks.
Hey, thank you so much, and um we'll keep listening.
Thank you, Rush.
Governor Sarah Palin from Scranton, Pennsylvania, back after this.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh sticking here with the subject of acorn and voter fraud.
We need to expand it.
The subject is not just voter fraud.
Have you ever wondered?
I know I have, and I have voiced this question and my curiosity over this for twenty years behind the golden EIB microphone and years prior to that.
Very shortly, very simply.
From the time of my birth, fifty seven years ago to today, this country has grown and expanded.
Prosperity has opened its doors for more and more people around the world, not just people born in this country.
We know the stories of Asians immigrating and running rings around people born in this country academically in California.
We know all about the uh immigration legal and illegal to get into the country.
We we know that the standard of living has risen.
We know that technological advancement is going along at light speed.
And yet during this period of time, whether it be the last 57 years or be at the last 20 years, it seems that a majority of the black population has remained angry, frustrated, and behind.
They've been left behind.
They are acting like they've been left behind, and of course, we've we've heard that this is because of racism, uh, natural uh systemic institutional racism in America, that we are unfair, that this country is uh just horrible and rotten.
If you ever ask yourself how it is that people not even born here can come here and in a few short years begin prospering in school their own business or what yet people who are born in this country somehow have been raised to hate it, to think they're still back in the days of slavery.
I actually think, after studying all this acorn stuff and reading what Stanley Kurtz has written about this, I actually believe that what has taken place here, in addition to liberal democrat legislation, such as uh the Great Society and the War on Poverty, which a lot of people will now acknowledge really busted up the black family by the government taking the place of a husband and father.
It's free to roam around and bear no responsibility.
The mother remained the mother, she got the uh financial assistance from this legislation from the federal government, the federal government became the father, father didn't have to hang around in order for the kids to be okay, depending on how you define okay.
And as you study more and more of this acorn stuff, you find that it has been part of an entire movement that has been going on for two, maybe three decades right under our noses.
We thought that it was just liberal welfare policies and all that that kept blacks from progressing while other minorities grew and prospered, but no.
It is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-American Afrocentric black liberation theologists working with acorn and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it.
They have been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country.
And they trained their parents before that to hate, hate, hate this country.
It was a movement.
