Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Hey, greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the bountiful fruited plane.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We are here at 800-282-2882, the email address.com.
Before we get into the meat of the program today, I wanted to let all of you Vince Flynn fans know that his new book is out.
It actually came out yesterday.
It's called Extreme Measures.
And it's out there now.
The Vince, uh, we had a little bash here at my house last week, and he sent in about 30 signed copies of the book.
And uh I may give a couple of them away during the course of the uh program today.
Extreme measures, and it's just it's riveting.
It's as the thing a great thing about Vince Flynn is that every book is as riveting as the first.
They do not become predictable.
Uh it just it's just an excellent book.
It's called Extreme Measures, and it's available now wherever you find books, Vince Flynn.
Ladies and gentlemen, I had a meeting after the program yesterday with uh a couple of people.
And the these people are very, very prominent in uh American business.
And I wasn't surprised by what I heard, but I was I was shocked by the intensity with which they told me their story.
And basically, all of these b both these people were telling me that everybody they do business with gearing up for an Obama victory by laying people off by planning on layoffs.
They they are scared to death of the incoming new taxes that Obama is going to spread on everybody, and the punishment that he is going to meet out in the form of economic sanctions, if you will, tax increases on businesses that are successful.
He th they they also went on to say that their banks that they're dealing with are really tight on credit, and the bank, one one of the banks, and I didn't get the name of the bank.
I didn't, I didn't I didn't actually want to know the name of the bank because I didn't want to make the mistake of saying the name of the bank here, but it doesn't matter.
Uh assume it's a large bank.
Uh one of these guys' banks is telling him I'm not going to lend you any money next year.
You're going to lose 20% next year.
You're going to be down 20% next year.
And the guy I'm talking to says, no, I'm not.
We're not.
I'm going to do everything I can to avoid being down 20%.
But the banks are telling him that next year are, in their opinion, is going to be the worst economic year in the United States in who knows how many years.
Now, this is the way the banks are operating, and a lot of this is predicated on the outright fear that Barack Obama is going to be elected and is going to is going to be disastrous for the U.S. economy.
And one of the guys said to me something I've I've been making this point uh throughout the uh the campaign here, that the Democrats and and their supposed uh uh devotion to the little guy and helping the little guy get ahead.
You know, I've never understood how you make uh poor people rich by making rich people poor, but but this is the standard operating philosophy of the Obama campaign and of the American left today.
And it's far, it's far worse than that.
It's not just economic radicalism.
This is this is a cultural radicalism that is about to take over this country if Obama wins.
We have been sitting here thinking that the 60s are fading away.
And I remember saying way back, it has to be a year and a half ago now when everybody thought that Hillary was going to be the nominee.
I said that the the uh election in 2008, whoever the Republican nominee was going to be would be the last battle between the 60s radicals and those who want nothing to do with them.
It looks like the 60s radicals are about to take over the country vis-a-vis the election of Barack Obama.
Yeah, you can talk about Bill Ayers and all these people, and then I I saw Susan Estridge today on on Fox, and last night she was on Greta Van Susterin.
And I just, you know, I was sitting there, I wanted to throw up.
It's just not the John McCain I know.
I guess wish John McCain would drop the talk about ears.
I used to love John McCain.
But he is losing his dignity.
And I hope that he would want to lose with his dignity, not lose his I'm saying Yeah, of course you want McCain to shut up about Ayers.
Of course you want McCain to shut up about Klonski.
Of course you want McCain to shut up about Jeremiah Wright.
Of course you want McCain to shut up about all of Obama's radical friends with whom he shares an ideology.
These people are not people he knew on the periphery.
These are people, uh, and people like them.
Once and if Obama's elected, he is going to populate the federal bureaucracy with career appointments with people like this.
They're going to be infested in the place, and there's no getting rid of them.
And we already know that there are career leftists all over several bureaucracies, the CIA, the State Department, the Pentagon.
It's uh it's going it's going to get even worse.
And I was struck, folks, I was struck by how intense the fear is among these business people of Obama's election and what it's going to mean.
They're already facing pressure from some of their boards of directors to lay people off because of the circumstances that exist now.
So the very people that Obama is intending to help here, the little guy, get even with the rich, get even with the rich and make the little guy uh uh, you know, give him a tax cut and give all the he's gonna get fired.
The little guy is the guy that always gets hurt when liberals implement their policies with no check and uh and and no balance.
And when I what the guy told me that this bank is uh is is is really tightening up on credit because they expect America this guy's business and a couple others to be down twenty percent next year, uh just uh on the basis of their forecasts coupled with uh with Obama's victory.
And I uh I looked at these guys if you got if you guys become sponsors of my program, I'll guarantee you you don't have it down here.
And their other eyes, you know, we know, we know, we're looking into it.
So it's really it's palpable.
It is it is palpable out there, the uh the fear.
I look at the polls today.
I look at Zogby ten points up from four points and ten points in one day, a made major swing making it look like it's over.
And yet, ladies and gentlemen, there are uh other indications out there that say just the opposite.
We've got the battleground poll that came out yesterday at one point, Obama.
Uh John McCain and the horse race here.
This is from National Review Online.
Uh a post I continue to hear from my source on the ground in Ohio, who is seeing results from McCain that are surprisingly good.
He puts it in a key bellwether section of Ohio.
McCain continues to show internals that are exceeding the National Polsters results.
My guy on the ground, I don't know who posted this, uh, but it's somebody at National Review Online.
My guy on the ground thinks this might mean that the internal polling is a leading indicator.
He's noting that if McCain does as well among the key demographics in neighboring Pennsylvania as he is in Ohio, then the Democrats ought to be sweating about that state.
And then we got we we got word yesterday that fast Eddie Rendell, the uh the the governor of Pennsylvania, has sent two separate memos to the Obama campaign the past five days, requesting that Obama as well as Hillary and Bill Clinton return to campaign in Pennsylvania.
Rendell made this uh statement to Gloria Borger at CNN.
He said the McCain campaign's clearly making a push to win Pennsylvania, and uh he needs some help back there.
He wants Obama to appear in Western Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, and one more large rally in Philadelphia.
Democrats generally worry that the race is significantly closer than what recent polls have suggested.
According to Fast Eddy, there's also worry among Democrats that the McCain campaign has successfully raised the enthusiasm level among Republicans in the state.
So Fast Eddy, a little nervous about Pennsylvania, wants Obama to come back.
McCain has gained twelve points in a week in the battleground poll.
A week ago, the the the battleground poll showed Obama with a 13-point lead, 5340 yesterday, as we reported yesterday, it was 48 to 7.
So and and the the you know the the uh the the violence, the the vandalism and the disruptions that the left, I mean what it Norm Coleman's garage has been, sir, his garbage has been gone through his garage has been searched, the guy's car was vandalized, Code Pink got under the stage of the mortgage bankers' convention in San Francisco twice, two days in a row, tried to arrest Carl Rove, put him in handcuffs for treason and so forth.
And you might say, well, what does Code Pink have to do with the crisis of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack?
Why are they out at a mortgage bankers convention?
Well, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae run by hardcore Democrats.
What's that what's Rove got to do with any of that?
It was uh it was Bush that called for reform.
By the way, there's an excellent piece.
And I found this uh yesterday afternoon, Orson Scott Card, who is a Democrat.
He is uh anti-gun, he's uh gun gun control advocate, and he thinks that Southern Republicans are still very racist, has written a superb piece that it is an indictment of modern day journalism, specifically as it relates to the way they've covered up rather than covered the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac mortgage scandal.
It's uh it's a great piece, and I'll share that with you as the uh as the program unfolds before your very eyes today.
Uh, my friend Andy McCarthy, National Review Online, another communist in Obama's Orb.
You know, I'll be honest.
You know, I read these things and I uh who cares?
It's not gonna matter.
You know, it's not gonna matter.
Ayers doesn't matter, Jeremiah Wright does nothing matters as far as an Obama voter is concerned.
Nothing matters.
I could go through this whole piece.
This guy Klanske, and there's another communist that's a good buddy and mentor of Obama's Frank Marshall Davis.
Uh this guy is uh Michael Klanske.
He's an Obama Annenberg millionaire.
Mainstream press refuses steadfastly to delve into Obama's radicalism, his leftist revolutionary collaboration with self-identified communists like Frank Marshall Davis to Bill Ayers.
The uh the McCain campaign uh uh has contributed mightily to the whitewash by ineptly seizing on the issue's least important aspect, and that is Obama's abject dishonesty with the depth of his relationship with committed leftists.
Uh it's you know, there's a he's got he's got a Jew hater among his good friends, Rashid Khalidi.
And the Los Angeles Times has a tape of from this past video tape from this past April of Obama toasting Rashid Khalidi.
Michelle and and uh and Barack Obama, they've got the tape, they're not gonna release it.
They say it's not germane.
They both signed the guest book for this is a committed Jew hater.
Just like Jeremiah Wright, none of this matters.
You tell this to Obama people, they don't want to hear it, it doesn't matter.
Uh it's it it's it's irrelevant to them.
And so, you know, you we're we're we're looking here at a uh George New Mayer's a great piece today, an American spectator.
We're looking here at the final successful attempt, if this election goes Obama's way, of the 1960s radicals to take over the government and populate it.
And once the 60s radicals say, you know, these people are not friends of America as currently constituted, and their objective has always been to either blow it up or to subvert it or to uh corrupt it uh via education, which is what Ayers is continuing to do.
Uh meanwhile, Obama continues to go out and play off this uh this little God's gift to him that was thrown into his hands, the economy.
And so when you go talk to people, and you ask them about this, they don't care about it.
They don't they don't want to know about this radical things that Obama's got ties to.
They don't want to know about these people because they don't want to think, they don't want to believe that such people will actually end up in important places in the U.S. government.
They don't want to believe that their country would nominate somebody whose close friends, alliances, and associates are these very people.
So they focus on the economy.
And they simply say the economy's horrible.
We need change.
That one word change is what's inspiring most of Obama's voters.
That and ra by the way, that and race.
And this Colin Powell thing continues to effervesce out there, and I don't understand what's so hard about you people on the left admitting that this whole campaign's about race.
And I'll say this, even to you people in the drive-by media.
You don't care who Obama is, and you don't care what he stands for, and you don't care who his friends are.
You know all that.
You know it would hurt, so you're covering it up, but to them this campaign's all about race.
They admit it.
It's historic.
What's historic about it?
He's black.
That's what's historic.
And so they want to be involved in making history and and uh in creating this historical thing.
It's all about this whole thing is for so many people on the left, it's all about race.
For so many white voters, it's all about white guilt.
Uh for some pseudo-intellectual conservatives, it's about them being tired of their party not being able to nominate people who can communicate.
So they simply listen to Obama speak and they feel like they're they're they got a kindred spirit representing them as president when he goes out and speaks and so forth.
There's a a lot of things here at work, but none of the substance of who Obama is matters to anybody.
Which is why.
Which is why when you get down to the economy, the big challenge the McCain campaign has had and they're not going to do it.
We're going to have to do this as we've been doing it.
Connect this economic disaster right where it belongs to the Democrat Party.
And that's what Orson Scott Card's piece does today very well, and it's circulating around the internet.
We'll link to it if you haven't seen it at rushlimbaugh.com.
So we've got American businesses scared to death, already planning on having to lay people off in order to stay in business next year if Obama is elected.
Their banks are telling them that they have no way of making a profit next year.
And as such, the banks don't trust lending them money.
And speaking of the banks, one thing before we go to the break.
When this bailout was first proposed, it was I and I alone, Il Rushbo, who said, What if they don't put this money in the market?
What if they don't lend it?
What if they simply invest or deposit this bailout money?
Washington Post, banks weighing other uses for bailout money.
Some may put it toward acquisitions.
So some of these banks, rather than end the liquidity crisis, which is what the stupid damn bailout was all about in the first place, are banking this money and are going to hold on to it and maybe buy other banks.
And the Treasury is on board with this.
The Treasury Secretary is on board with cash-infused banks buying others that are in trouble.
And let me tell you what this is all about.
This is all about creating more banks that are down the road too big to fail.
All these banks that have got this bailout money are hoarding it now, they're sitting on it.
Some of them are.
It's like Fannie Mae, too big to fail.
We couldn't let it go under.
Freddie Mack, too big to fail.
We had to bail it out.
Now we're going to be bailing out these banks, and they're holding the money, and they're going to buy other smaller banks, make themselves larger so that they then will become too big to fail.
Back after this.
Ha.
How are you?
It's L. Rushbove from the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Here's another example of the media starting spin.
By the way, the Hill newspaper today has a story that the wrong headline is being used.
The uh the correct headline is cops preparing for riots.
Regardless who wins, cops preparing for riots on election day and the day after.
We're becoming a third world country.
We're becoming a third world country.
I'll have details on this as the uh program unfolds.
We have we have McCain now being once again run down by uh by by CNN.
Actually, this is this is NBC.
They're starting to spin that McCain is losing independence to the base too much.
And this once again is an attempt to get McCain to change his attitude and get McKe get Palin to shut up.
Uh he's losing it it was never gonna get these independents.
This is what we tried to tell the Republican Party from the get-go.
The Republican Party is not gonna get independence, and it's not gonna get moderates, and it's not gonna get voters unless you have somebody who is a doctrinaire, liberty, and founders-based conservative, and that will attract all the people, in addition to the Republicans that you need to win.
But our party had the blinders on and didn't believe that, thought that the way to go Out and get these people was to attract them by being like them.
Well, we see, do we not, the effectiveness of having a campaign that tried to attract moderates?
Hello, General Colin Powell.
That really worked, didn't it?
There are all kinds of moderates and independents out there.
And every time I see a poll, like we had this CBS New York Times poll yesterday.
Why have you lost favor with Senator McCain or why has he lost favor with you?
Uh it's uh it's a tax on uh on Obama.
Although Obama and his campaign are not attacking McCain.
This is such a silly one-way street that people don't see through once again.
It's as though the only partisan bunch, according to the media is the Republican Party and the conservatives, and the Democrats are these lovely flower people.
They love everybody.
They care about every the meanest bunch of SOBs in politics I have seen this cycle in my life.
And yet independents are going to run to them because McCain happens to get partisan.
Frosts me like I can't tell you.
So the narrative is in place.
If McCain loses, it will be because he focused too much on the Republican base.
How about this NBC, if he loses, it will be because he didn't focus on the Republican base soon enough.
And you people in the drive-by's damn well know it.
The ongoing assault here to depress stress out and uh otherwise kill Republican turnout here is uh is in full swing.
It's intense, and it's going to keep up.
CNN is now uh even lying.
And this is something, by the way, they need to apologize for.
Although even if they do, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo, it's gonna matter less.
We're talking about here the reporter Drew Griffin and his recent interview with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Here was his question.
The National Review had a story saying that, you know, I can't tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, or all of the above.
Who wrote that one?
That that was in the National Review.
I don't have the author.
I'd like to talk to that first.
But they were uh All right.
In the first place, nobody posted that at National Review.
Byron York wrote it, but he said something quite different, and it was posted someplace else.
What what uh what what Byron actually wrote was that if you listen, if you watch press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it's sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or well, all of the above.
He was talking about the kind of press coverage that she has received.
He was not describing her.
Listen again, this is what he wrote.
Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for VP.
It's sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin's incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or whatever else.
Now let's go back and listen, cut 19 again.
Now that you know what Byron York wrote, listen to Drew Griffin.
Make a mockery of journalism.
The National Review had a story saying that, you know, I can't tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, or all of the above.
Who wrote that one?
That that was in the National Review.
I don't have the author.
I'd like to talk to that person.
Uh so this is this is this is what the media has uh has come to.
Uh, and these are just this is one example.
There are many other CNN reported yesterday incorrectly that the McCain camp is ceding Colorado to Barack Obama.
The report by CNN on the Colorado election was not true.
And that what made this even more profoundly wrong was that CNN published this report as Sarah Palin was setting all-time attendant record attendance records in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Twenty-two thousand supporters showed up to see her break a grand junction record.
Todd Palin making four campaign stops in Western Colorado and Denver.
Uh while all of this Is going on, the media, CNN, twice now tries to report that uh Republicans are criticizing Palin in National Review, which they're not, at least not as being described here by Drew Griffin of CNN.
Now they're trying to suppress the Colorado vote by uh by saying that the McCain camp is ceding Colorado to Obama.
And they have said the same thing about uh about other places as well.
So, you know, this is um uh it's it's it's par for the course, it's what's been happening, it will continue to happen as this election continues to unfold, and in the meantime, who is the real Barack Obama and what will happen to this country if he becomes president.
George New Mayer, writing today at the American Spectator, let me read some excerpts of this to you.
The extent to which 1960s counterculture has become the culture, and 1960s anti-Americanism has become the new patriotism, is amazing.
That's why Obama could launch his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist and pay almost no price for it.
As Chris Matthews lectured Pat Buchanan on Hardball last Friday night, Ayers was a terrorist with a worthy motivation.
He bombed the Pentagon because he wanted America out of Vietnam, a blameless goal indeed.
Under the left's tortured understanding of the new patriotism, even Jeremiah Wright is pro-American.
His fulminations had the purpose of drawing America into the light.
Patriotism is now measured not by respect for the conservatism contained in the declaration and the Constitution.
Rather, patriotism is measured by the level of one's enthusiasm for the America to come, which includes the new patriotism of paying higher taxes.
Remember, one of the founding moments of this nation was the Boston Tea Party, when Americans said taxes were too high and they weren't going to pay them anymore.
Now the new patriotism has us agreeing to pay higher taxes.
To be a good American now means you nod vigorously as an Obama supporter at a cocktail party bashes the Boy Scouts as bigots while explaining to you why Obama's association with the distinguished education professor Bill Ayers is no big deal.
It means you chuckle along with Joe Biden as he tells Ellen DeGeneres that conservative Californians are deluded to oppose gay marriage.
Or it means listening in hushed awe, as unimpeachable American hero Colin Powell calls the most liberal Republican presidential nominee ever narrow.
Meaning McCain, and insufficiently inclusive, and scolds unnamed Americans for objecting to the notion of a Muslim president.
What was once considered the anti-American left now has the power to define who is and who is not a good American.
Seeing victory in sight, they grow more bold and unapologetic over the last few days.
Instead of denying charges thrown at Obama, they have readily conceded them and basically said, so what?
To them, Obama's spreading the wealth around comment is not a cringe-inducing gaffe.
It's an applause line and sound basis for policy.
What's wrong with the state redistributing wealth?
More than a few of them have asked that question, including, by the way, Colin Powell, after his meet the press appearance before reporters.
Here, too, we see the new Americanism at work, where the founding fathers saw King George III's overtaxation as an occasion to start the country.
An enlightened modern American is expected to join Joe Biden in welcoming new taxes as a patriotic duty.
Under the unholy triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi, and Reed, good Americans will be expected to entrust their economy to redistributionists, their defense to pacifists, and their culture to proponents of abortion and gay marriage.
Expect a crisis.
Within six months should Obama win promises Joe Biden, maybe he's right.
But the first one is more likely to be domestic than international.
The narrative also has been set, ladies and gentlemen, for elective night, election night on the Hill.com's website today, police prepare for unrest.
The headline should say cops prepare for riots.
Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for election day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with the Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation's first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.
Some worry that if Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations.
Others base the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas following professional sports events and also on internet rumors.
Now about this sports event analogy, let us not forget that many of these riots have taken place when these people's teams won.
as well as when their teams lost.
And so what we're being set up here with, there's gonna be riots regardless what happens in certain urban areas.
So once again, the drive-by media is saying to black America, we expect you to riot.
We expect no matter what happens, we expect you to riot, we're gonna have a we're gonna have a bigger cop presence out there where you live.
So once again, the party that cares, the party of compassion, and their media allies now warning America that no matter what happens, black America is gonna riot.
No mention of the Nags rioting here if uh Sarah Palin wins, just black Americans.
Democrat strategists and advocates for black voters say they understand officers wanting to keep the peace, but caution that excessive police presence could intimidate voters.
So while the cops are getting ready to stop riots, Democrats and whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
You put the cops out there and you're going to enhance the chance for riots because you're going to have a greater opportunity for voter fraud out there.
So one that the cops can't win.
If they show up, they're gonna they're gonna fudge the election or going to affect the outcome.
If they don't show up, they're gonna be riots one way or the other.
Senator Obama has seen his lead over McCain grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.
Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, and Philadelphia will have extra police deployed in Oakland.
The cops will deploy extra units trained in riot control as well as extra traffic cops.
They're even going to put SWAT teams on standby.
Welcome to Third World America.
I read this and I said, My God, we're becoming a banana republic.
It's sick.
We're going to have riots because we're going to have a peaceful transfer of power.
We always have peaceful transfers of power in this country.
Welcome to the land of Barack Obama, folks.
That's the only reason any of this is happening.
Welcome to the land of Barack Obama.
Welcome to the land of Sololinsky.
Welcome to the land of the community agonizer.
And I meant to say community agonizer.
And welcome to the land of Bill Ayers.
Welcome to the land of Acorn.
Welcome to the land of the Marxist Leninists who make up Obama's core group of friends.
So the scenario here has been written.
If Obama loses, it's due to racism and voter fraud.
If he wins, he has a mandate to transform our society into some kind of Euro socialist authoritarianism.
And on that, my friends, a brief time out for an EIB obscene profit break.
Let's grab a phone call here quickly before we uh run out of time in this hour.
Rush Limbaugh back on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Telephone number, by the way, 800-282-2882.
Here is uh Ken in Brooklyn.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Good to see you.
Good to talk to you.
Thank you.
This whole campaign has been a uh an eye-opener uh for me as a parent because I'm trying to teach my daughter um, you know, just about the political uh in our country.
And I'm trying to explain to her Obama's socialist economics, and she kind of gets it.
But what's really focused and really hitting home for us is the fact that she's afraid in school to voice an opinion about you know who her parents are for or you know who she's leaning toward because um she's afraid of getting beaten up or being called a racist.
I've been called a racist because I'm supporting McCain, and I tell people if McCain were black, I'd be voting for him.
You know, if Obama was not a socialist, I would be voting for him.
I don't care what the Exactly.
They don't care.
It doesn't matter.
It is as far as most of Obama's voters, they come into three categories.
They're just Democrats and liberals, and it doesn't matter who their nominee is.
Second thing is race.
It's historic, it's something has never happened before.
White guilt, a whole bunch of things in media.
It's just about pummeling anybody who has an R next to their name.
They also are absorbed in the racial aspect of this.
They know full well who this guy is, and they don't care to tell the American people about it right now.
Your story about your daughter, I don't know if you were listening to the program yesterday, but a friend of mine also has a daughter in Haskell, a senior.
And on Tuesday, she went into school and it was a history class, a constitutional history class or some such thing, and the teacher launched into what a racist I am for my comments on Colin Powell.
And uh my daughter or my my friend's daughter was just afraid to say anything in in disagreement because this teacher was inciting the students in there to be angry.
She didn't have there was nothing in it for her to stand up and say, You guys got it all wrong.
And he was asking the black kids in the student, you know, in the class, don't you think this is racist for limb?
And then they started uh basically electioneering.
So there is there is all kinds of intimidation going on.
You heard about Carl Rove at the mortgage bankers' meeting and convention in San Francisco, where we're two different occasions, code pink related to acorn related to Obama.
Get on stage.
They tried on one of these instances to arrest Rove.
I mean, it's sort of funny to watch it, but it's I mean, how how seriously can the mortgage bankers consider their problem to be if they let these nutcase wackos on stage?
She was calling uh the uh uh uh Rove a uh traitor, uh, committed treason, wanted to make citizens arrest and this kind of thing, and it was five or six, maybe ten seconds before anybody came out and dragged the woman off stage as she was reaching for her handcuffs.
Now, who's responsible for this?
Well, obviously the people that are committing these acts of intimidation, such as in your kids' school, Ken, and in my friends' school.
But can I take you back to Obama?
On September 17th in Nevada, Obama told his supporters, argue with them.
Get in their face.
I want you to argue with them and get in their face.
This is part of the Obama campaign.
It's supposedly all sweetness and light and messianic, and we've got this guy who speaks brilliantly and in measured tones and is uh supremely articulate.
This guy is a Chicago thug politician running a thug political operation.
Look at how it started.
We couldn't talk about his ears.
We couldn't talk about his preacher, we couldn't talk about his grandmother, we couldn't talk about his wife, we couldn't mention his middle name, we couldn't talk about race, we couldn't talk about money, we couldn't talk about it now we can't say socialist.
Have you heard of what this this there's a there's a columnist in Kansas City, and I don't know, Lewis D.I.U. G-U-I-D.
