Time Text
How many times have we seen this story?
How many times over the last ten years have I reported this story?
Headline kids less likely to graduate than parents.
Most states doing little to hold schools accountable, says Advocacy Group.
How many times have we reported this story?
Dropout rate.
Kids, that's exactly where when you get to the end of this story.
It's the same old, same old.
They need more money and more accountability.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you back with us.
Rush Limbaugh, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
If you read to the end of the story, it prints out to three pages.
I'm not going to read you the whole thing.
It's A.P. Obama.
If you read to the end of this, you'll find out the answer is more money.
Of course, private schools do far better for less because they compete for parent tuition dollars.
If you want to see how socialism works, look at the public schools.
I know what we can do.
Call in Bill Ayers.
Bill Ayers never has dropouts from his classes.
Here's a quote from the story.
He argued the government could make a big dent in the dropout problem by plowing more money and firm guidance on how to spend it into those schools.
What the hell have we been doing for 50 years?
We have been ploughing more money, and we have been autocratically telling the schools what they can and can't do with it.
Boy, there is a fight raging, ladies and gentlemen, between these polsters out there.
The gloves are off between the polsters.
Polling guru John Zagby ripped an AP survey showing the McCain Obama battle down to a dead heat.
Zogby uh told the Boston Herald last night the AP poll, it's not only an outlier, it's just preposterous.
An outlier is a term for a result on the margin that's often thrown out by uh by statisticians, Zogby, who has Obama jumping ahead of McCain 52, 42% in his own poll released yesterday, but it's a little higher than that today, said the AP poll failed to properly count college-age kids.
So Zogby upset with AP.
Meanwhile, Democrat Representative Jack Mertha leads retired Army Lieutenant Colonel William Russell by just a little more than four points within the Susquehanna poll's 4.9% margin of error.
For those of you in Mertha's district in Western Pennsylvania, his opponent, Army Lieutenant Colonel William Russell.
He is a Republican who served in the Iraq War.
Uh and and he has been jumping on Mertha's remarks about people in the district being racist and redneck.
Said he couldn't disagree with the with Mertham Moore on this.
So, and this is the closest race in this district in two years.
William Russell, for those of you in the district of Jack Mirtha.
Now, the AP poll, this is this fascinating poll, this Liz Sidotti story, because this AP poll that Zogby doesn't like, it keeps getting longer and longer and longer.
Last night, over a 90-minute period, the AP story doubled in word count.
And if you if you read deep into this AP story that has Obama up over McCain 4847, statistically a dead heat, you find that the intensity has increased among McCain's supporters and decreased among Obama supporters in the last week in this AP poll.
And I understand, you know, a month ago in the AP's own poll, and they say this, Obama had more strong supporters than McCain did.
Now the number of exciting supporters is uh is about even.
The entire DC media attacking the AP behind the scenes over this.
Ron Fournier is the AP Bureau chief, and he's getting all kinds of grief.
Uh one of the comments that I saw in the drive-by's last night when he's playing cell phone roulette, you know, meaning that he's using self-air.
The fewer and fewer homes now have uh landlines and cell phone numbers are not really listed.
So they're just accusing uh AP of having a flawed uh technology here in the uh in the way that they're going about conducting their survey.
Wells Fargo Chairman Dick Kovosevich said that he expects governments around the world to do whatever's necessary to restore normal functioning of the global financial system.
There may be doubts about how long the recovery will take, but it will get done sooner than most people think.
Said Kovosevich in an address to the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on Tuesday night.
Governments will do whatever it takes to stabilize the financial system.
He said that he anticipates a nation will emerge from recession early next year.
Now the Wells Fargo Bank doesn't have any involvement in the subprime mess, and if you'll recall the Wells Fargo CEO, when we when he's ordered into this meeting in New York with the with or Washington rather with the Paulson, we don't want your bailout.
We don't want to have to sell part of our shares of our bank to you.
But Paulson said you're not leaving this room till you sign.
I mean, it was right out of Vito Corleone.
And he ended up signing.
He said, We don't need your money.
We don't want your money.
A lot of small banks said the same thing.
Last week, uh, ladies and gentlemen, October 17th, six days ago, I reminded you of a truism, and this was it.
I just saw something.
And it's about Obama today in Roanoke, Virginia.
This tells me that he is definitely in trouble.
He has pulled out a page from the 30-year-old Democrat playbook.
John McCain will cut Medicare.
It won't be long before we're gonna cut social security as well.
And then we're gonna cut school lunches.
All right, that's what I said six days ago on this program.
Last night, Hannity and Combs, Governor Fast Eddie Rindell of Pennsylvania said this about Senator McCain.
If you're a senior, John McCain's economic advisors say they're gonna tax one point three trillion dollars is gonna come out of Medicare and Medicaid.
That means higher premiums, that means lower benefits.
Why in the world would you vote for John McCain?
That's the same fast Eddie, by the way, who begged Obama to get back to Pennsylvania for a couple rallies because it's close there, they are in trouble.
What is this?
They're gonna tax 1.3 trillion is going to come out of Medicare and Medicaid?
This is another one of these falsehoods that they're telling about McCain, but it's aimed right at the seasoned citizens.
Now, if all of these youths that they have registered, all these young people, these college students, if they're really, really, really, really, really gonna show up and vote in big numbers for the first time ever this year, then why do you have to care what the old folks do?
They're out there as they always do, trying to frighten the elderly.
Here's Robert Wexler, Larry King Live.
Bob Wexler, by the way, Democrat Maryland.
Senator McCain supports a privatization plan which would play the stock market into Social Security, which is very uh frowned upon in Florida.
And Senator Obama has a much more realistic, sober plan to improve Social Security's financial standing.
Uh Senator Obama's got a very strong case to make in Florida.
I told you six days ago when they went after Medicare that Social Security would be next, a 30-year-old page from the Democrat playbook, and Wexler lied through his teeth.
McCain has not put a privatization plan on the board to put the stock market into secure into the social security in the stock market.
He's going back and he's tying McCain to Bush.
On that, McCain has advanced no such plan that I'm aware of.
So once again, here we're out designed to scare elderly people.
They're gonna cut your Medicaid, they're gonna take away your social security.
Let me, you elderly people, let me give you the truth about Social Security in Obama.
Obama says he's gonna cut taxes for 95% of Americans.
The problem is 30 to 38% of Americans don't pay income taxes, yet they're still gonna get a tax cut.
How's that?
Well, Obama says they all pay payroll taxes, social security tax, yes.
But theoretically, those social security taxes are for their retirement.
theoretically, Obama's going to give them a credit of $500 to $1,000, which means he's going to be robbing the Social Security Fund of $500 to $1,000 for all these Americans he's just going to have in check to its welfare.
So if anybody's going to put a dent in the Social Security Fund for whatever it's worth, it's Obama's plan.
Obama even has an ad on Medicare up now.
John McCain's health care plan.
First, we learned he's going to tax health care benefits to pay for part of it.
Now, the Wall Street Journal reports John McCain would pay for the rest Of his health care plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid.
$882 billion from Medicare alone.
Requiring cuts in benefits.
Eligibility.
Or both.
John McCain.
Taxing health benefits cutting Medicare.
We can't afford John McCain.
I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
We can't afford John McCarry.
I wonder where they got that line.
Fact is nothing in the ad is true.
Nothing in that ad is true, and no less than David Schuster of Obama TV.
Yesterday afternoon said this about this new ad.
It is certainly late in the game, which makes it all the more puzzling that the Obama campaign is running this particular ad on Medicare and Medicaid called It Gets Worse.
The nonpartisan group FactCheck.org says that ad and that Wall Street Journal article were both bogus and false.
Bogus and false.
Obama running a bogus and false ad on Medicare, 30-year Democrat playbook, write a page right out of it.
That tells me that they think they are in trouble.
They haven't done this.
They haven't reverted to this kind of campaign through the the entire time until now.
It is negative.
It's very negative.
It's a personal attack, and it's a lie.
It's a lie, and it's unbecoming the Messiah, who is upset with the way McCain is conducting his campaign.
Now, going back to Pennsylvania, Fast Eddie, you know, out there telling people that McCain's going to cut their Medicaid and their uh and their Medicare.
Yesterday it was uh Gloria Borger who warned us that Fast Eddie was uh desperate for Obama to get back into Pennsylvania because they're hurting there.
Uh last night on CNN, David Rodham Gurgen and Joe Klein warning about Pennsylvania.
This is not over.
I'm I'm here in Pennsylvania.
I can tell you that uh folks here have been telling me here in Philadelphia, the Democrats, that while uh Barack Obama has a 10 or 11 point lead in the polls, uh, there is a widespread feeling that it's much closer than that, and it's going to be very close on election day, and Governor Rendell very much wants uh Barack Obama to come back here to campaign.
So this is not over.
Joe, if the polls are so far apart, how then uh are people saying on the ground that it's going to be closer?
Well, there are reports that even uh Obama's private polls have Pennsylvania closer than the public polls.
I don't know how that works.
But I do know that I think that David is absolutely right.
Now, all this is academic.
If McCain doesn't win Ohio, he's got to win Ohio.
Uh Pennsylvania does not substitute for Ohio.
It comes close, but he's got to win Ohio, too, and the latest internals show him still up there by uh a couple points.
Although there are some, there's a Quinapia Act poll and another poll that show him down twelve or thirteen in uh in Ohio.
So the polls continue to just bounce all over the place.
Brief time out.
We will be back and continue.
Stand by uh audio sunbite number twenty-seven.
Greetings, welcome back.
Rushlin bought talent on lawn from God on the most listened to radio talk show in America.
I knew it.
The reason they're going after these elderly people on Social Security and Medicare is that there is no increase in the proportion of first-time voters, all of this rot gut that we have been told about all these youthful people, these college students, young people, between the ages of um 18 and 24.
They're so jazzed about the Messiah.
They're so revved up about Obama, they're practically having to be restrained in their dorm rooms.
To be kept from the polling places even now, yet Gallup finds 13% of registered voters saying they will vote for president for the first time in 2008.
The first time that matches the figure Gallup found in its final 2004 pre-election poll.
There is no increase in the proportion of first-time voters.
I know you're probably confused, folks.
All those youths that people registered, and it can barely be constrained and restrained where they are.
Well, they're all at the rallies, they may be at the rallies, but they're not voting.
The Democrats do this every year.
They run out, they make all these big uh announcements about all the the new young people they've registered, and they tell us that young people, young people, the future of America and the world, cannot wait To vote for their candidate.
Be it Gore, be it uh the haughty uh John Kerry who served in Vietnam, uh, or now the Messiah, the Lord Barack Obama, the most merciful, and yet no increase in first-time voting.
Here's the proof uh on the um on the Obama Medicare ad.
That's a flat out lie.
It's from factcheck.org.
In a TV ad and in speeches, Obama making bogus claims that McCain plans to cut $880 billion from Medicare spending and to reduce benefits.
TV Spot says that McCain's plan requires cuts in benefits, eligibility or both.
Obama said in a speech that McCain plans cuts that would force seniors to pay more for your drugs, receive fewer services, get lower quality care.
Uh second Obama ad now claims that McCain's plan would bring about a 22% cut in benefits.
Factcheck.org says these claims are false and based on a single newspaper report that says no such thing.
McCain's policy director states unequivocally that no benefit cuts are envisioned.
McCain does propose, uh does propose substantial savings, blah, blah.
Anyway, the damage is done because it's all out there.
The ad has been seen.
Barry's got all this money.
He's spending it left and right, and the ad's been seen.
And but uh you know, in the in the last uh couple presidential elections, and this has been something that has been uh heartening to me.
It hasn't worked on the elderly.
The the the play in the social security card, you're gonna cut your social security hasn't worked, and you might say, well, how come, Rush?
Very simple.
For 20 years or more, the Democrats every four years have been promising seniors that their social security is going to get cut, and it never has been.
In fact, I just saw a story the other day the average social security checks going to go up 63 bucks next year.
Big whoop.
You know, stop and think of that.
You know what the social security budget is one of the largest budget items in the country.
So many people are on it.
With the hundreds of billions on Social Security, every recipient's gonna get sixty-three additional dollars a month.
Before Obama's tax increases.
Sixty-three dollars a month.
I don't know anybody who'd be ecstatic over that audio soundbite number twenty-seven.
This is last night, uh Brian Williams of the NBC Nightly News interviewed McCain and Palin.
By the way, this was funny because Chuck Todd, the numbers cruncher, the political director for NBC News, said when he looked at this, he he I guess he's a body language expert now, because I didn't see a whole lot of love between McCain and Palin, he said.
I I I don't think they like each.
In fact, we may have that bite, but I got my soundbite roster so.
Yeah, number 25.
Before we play you, McCain and Palin.
With Brian Williams, this is last night on uh on Hardball.
Chuck Todd said this about McCain and Palin.
I didn't see any chemistry here.
It very much feels forced, and you almost wonder.
Now, maybe it's the intensity of the moment.
They know they're down.
You have no sleep at night.
You need that idea that you might win to probably keep you going, and maybe they don't feel that they can win right now, and so they're missing that intensity.
This is Chuck Todd, body language analyst at NBC DNC Obama TV, analyzing that McCain and Palin really don't like each other.
So here, uh, you can't see it, but you can hear.
Brian Williams says, who is a member of the elite?
John McCain and I are so committed to serving every American, hardworking middle class Americans who are so desiring of this economy, getting put back on the right track, and winning these wars, and America starting to reach her potential, and that is opportunity and hope provided everyone equally.
So anyone who thinks that they are um, I guess, uh better than anyone else, that's that's my definition of elitism.
So it's not education, it's not income-based, it's uh anyone who thinks that they're better than someone else.
A state of mind, it's not geography.
Of course not.
Senator.
I know where a lot of them live.
Where's that?
Well, in our nation's capital in New York City.
Uh I I've seen it.
I know what a lot of these elitists are, the ones that she never went to a cocktail party with in Georgetown.
I'll be very frank with you.
We think that they can dictate What they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.
Yeah, this that's that's he's exactly right.
He is a hundred percent exactly right, and so is she how about Williams?
You mean it's not geographic, you mean it's not income, you mean it's not education.
No, Brian, it's elitism is well, the elites this country do align on the basis of their superior, they think education, but it is all about superiority.
It's it's all elitism is all about condescension.
Uh well, well, that we can make Hane had men to LA in a long time, Connecticut.
They're all over the northeastern quarter, Boston, New York, Washington Axis.
Hell, startly, we've got elites here in Florida.
I mean, some of them are teachers.
You want to talk about whether elitism has anything to do with what you earn.
Elites are all over the damn place.
People who think they're smarter and better.
And look at elites think they are the smart people, and the others are not.
If they think you are not one of the smart people, and they will judge that on whether or not you have a degree somewhere, and your degree, by the way, has to be from the right place.
But, but slap my face prematurely for what I'm going to say.
Sip of water.
Excuse me, just a second here, folks.
I don't sip and slurp normally that way, but on radio I do it to create the noise, so you know I'm doing it, so you can't see it.
McCain knows where the elites are.
In New York and Washington.
And there are people who think they're smarter than everybody else and better than everybody else.
The people walked across the aisle, made deals with campaign finance reform.
Immigration.
And we are back.
Great to have you here.
Your phone calls are coming up in an LGO, but first, one more thing about these Obama ads on Medicare and Social Security.
One thing that, you know, we we have to we have to be confident in our in our own assessment of things because we're not going to get reinforcement from this from the drive-by's.
But Obama has been hit hard on this socialism business.
He has been hit hard by Joe the plumber.
He has been hit hard with Biden trying to turn this campaign back to foreign policy and national security.
When Obama's in a prevent defense and not doing anything, he convened a meeting of his so-called foreign policy advisors yesterday, ostensibly, and then walked out in Virginia to look presidential, trying to cover it up.
I mean, and that's what these Medicare and Social Security ads are.
They're just raising the dust.
They are just raising the dust to try to obscure that Obama's being creamed here with the socialism charge, and his own words to Joe the plumber and the rhetorical flourishes, as Obama says of Joe Biden.
Now, one more thing, too, about these first-time voters.
Youth voters.
No discernible change in the percentage of first-time voters that'll vote this election versus 2004.
If you go to the latest investors' business daily tip poll, the one that uh shows Obama up 3.7 over McCain, if you look at the breakdown of people voting by age, look at this.
Age 18 to 24 in this poll, 5343 McCain.
The 18 to 24 is prefer McCain by 10 points in the IBD tip poll.
Sixty-five plus, it's 4640 McCain.
And from 25 to 64, it's it's roughly 47 to about 40 Obama.
All right, to the phones we go.
This is Angela in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
I'm glad you waited.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You're a great American.
Thank you, ma'am.
Um, I'm originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and I recently moved to Michigan for my job.
Um, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yes.
Yes.
You moved to Michigan for a job?
I know.
It's really unbelievable.
What do you do?
I mean, a lot of people would like to know that there are jobs available in your field.
Well, I'm actually a resident physician.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
I moved to, yes, I moved to Michigan to do my residency.
I got you.
Well, there are always going to be sick people.
Uh yeah, especially Yeah, there will always be sick people, yes.
Okay, good.
Now we know.
Okay.
Um this is sort of my question and my comment.
Um I'm a Jewish woman, and I have been recently very disturbed by Jesse Jackson's comments.
He made, you know, the comment last week about Zionism and a derogatory comment about Jews in general.
He denied it.
Yes.
Yes.
Denied it the next day, so he didn't say it.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
He didn't actually deny it.
He said he didn't like the way the press reported it.
Okay.
Well, I'm I'm a McCain supporter.
I'm a little worried about Obama's associations with with Jesse Jackson and Farrakhan's views.
Um, you know, I heard this morning just on Fox News how very few Jews are voting for McCain, only about thirty to thirty-eight percent.
Would you please remind Jews out there of Obama's association and comments made that are anti Semitic?
Won't matter.
Won't matter.
I have it uh liberals or liberals first.
Okay.
Liberals.
Liberals and Democrats are Democrats and Liberals first.
That's the only explanation for this.
We have been I've been mentioning this.
I yesterday I did an in depth um explanation of a uh a world renowned Jew hater who is a close friend of Obama, Rashid Khalili or something like this.
And he's you know he's still around and he's still um uh is he's close to Obama.
Obama's not distance himself from him.
I mean, Obama's gotten campaign donations from Hamas.
Yes.
Uh but it it's not gonna, you know, the the the ideological party affiliation with a lot of people is the only thing that matters.
The that's first, and then some of this other stuff might permeate and change their mind later, but it's I don't think it's gonna matter.
I in fact I I think we're the attachment to Obama and most of his supporters is emotional anyway, and so what happens when you go out, like if if we were to target Jewish voters, for example, there are lots of them here in South Florida, and of course New York, and if I were to make an impassioned plea to them to listen to me, they would think I'm lying.
You know, I'm a conservative Republican.
And they think conservative Republicans, you know, did you know what they think of them?
Uh they think I'm lying, and they would not take kindly to my criticism of Obama.
Okay.
They just I mean, uh I've it's it's uh it's it's one of these things that's puzzled.
It's it's like um you you could you could make the same argument about about um African American voters.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You can point out to them what two generations of support from the Democrat Party has led them to.
Broken families, continued rage and anger.
They got preachers keeping them on the fit of rage each and every day, blaming America for their lack of progress, yet every other immigration group comes into this country and thrives and survives inside of a generation.
I and they just have uh the for for all these years they have been taught that the Republican Party is the white man's party and that America is white man's greed.
And no matter what you tell them factually, they're gonna reject it because their attachment to all their things politically are actually emotional.
Well, I I know a lot of Jewish people that are the old time Democrats don't even know what a Democrat really is, but you know, they've been voting Democrat all of their lives.
Well, what happens when you tell them?
And it's one thing for me to tell them, what happens when you tell them?
Well, when I tell them, I think what they basically believe is that if they don't vote for Obama, they're racist.
And I think that's what a lot of the mainstream media has told them.
Well, I have very few Jewish friends who uh who are voting for Obama.
Actually, I don't even have one Jewish friend that's voting for Obama.
That is is voting for McCain.
They're all voting for Obama.
You mean you don't have one Jewish friend voting for McCain.
They're all voting Obama.
All your Jewish friends are voting Obama.
And they're so it's white guilt?
I think so.
I think it yes, I do.
Well, who's gonna know?
Uh what do you mean who will know?
The vote is private.
You go into ballot box, you vote however you wish.
They're only gonna know if you come out and say so.
Right, right.
I agree, but I I think that a lot of people that they want people to know that they voted Obama because they don't want to be thought of as racist.
As racist, yes.
Well, this is you're right.
I mean, this is something that's being pushed in the media, and it has been throughout the uh the Obama campaign.
Well, we'll see how many of them actually do it.
You know, Bradley Bradley effect, um Wilder effect, whatever you want to call it.
We'll see how many people actually do it.
But well, okay, so you don't have any Jewish friends that are voting for McCain, yet they are still your Jewish friends.
Not not very close friends.
They're more of just um, you know, associations, acquaintances that I that I know through through a temple.
Um close friends.
No, I don't have any Jewish close friends.
Um for that very reason.
I'm a conservative person.
I like to um surround myself like mine.
That that's just another thing.
That that just illustrates my point even further.
It's not only an emotional attachment and the Democrat Party or liberalism comes first, it also is a determining factor in who they will associate with and who they will be friends with.
Now, this is all liberals and Democrats.
This is this is not uh this is this is not just related to Jewish people or black people.
No, I agree.
And when I have brought up, you know, you know, the fact of Jesse Jackson or Reverend Wright or Bill Ayrton, you know, they they really just rationalize it away and say, oh, well, he didn't really know.
He was just a passing acquaintance, and you know, we all know that that's that's untruth.
It it's a lot of people.
Well, see, that's now the explanation for that is that they know they're lying to themselves on that.
They they have built this little cocoon of security in which they live, and something like that would shatter the cocoon and the alternate reality that they've set up.
They don't want to be challenged with that.
They don't want to think they're wrong, so they'll make excuses for the guy.
Again, this is this is all emotional.
Now, let me while I have you here.
There's a story here from uh Kansas City, a Reuters story.
Mm-hmm.
Headline Ugly election incidents show lingering U.S. racism.
Two weeks before an election that could install the first black U.S. president, scattered ugly incidents have reflected a deep residue of racism among some segments of white America.
And then they go on and give examples of a cardboard likeness of Obama found strung from fishing wire at a university and all these things.
Now, the purpose of this story, I have a theory about about why the country is in the situation that it's in, and it's it's based on learning about Revan Wright.
And it's based on learning about William Ayers.
You know, I and I mentioned this the other day.
I've I've been puzzled my whole life why in the most prosperous country on earth, the country with the greatest opportunity for everybody, a country that everybody in the world is trying to get into.
How is it that people born here, certain people born here hate it, despise it, distrust it.
How is it that these people who are born here and despise it and distrust it can see immigrants coming into this country and running rings around everybody using the work ethic they grew up with in their in their original countries, their native countries.
How is it that they can see all of these people and all of this prosperity and get mad and get angry?
And I'm convinced it's because they have preachers in a lot of places like Bill like Jeremiah Wright, who are telling them they have no chance, that white, rich white people, rich white people.
And this is white men's greed, is what Western civilization is all about.
That's part of what Obama believes, what he grows up, grew up believing.
It's what Bill Ayers is teaching today.
I think, I really do after having studied this.
I really think that the deep unrest, not just racial, a deep unrest in this country, that's primarily the racial divide, though, I will admit this, has been fostered purposefully for the uh eventual attempt to destroy capitalism in this country and turn it into socialism by creating more and more and more and more dependent people who have been made dependent by a bunch of liberal Democrats who um uh have been told that they have no chance in this country anyway,
because white greed or this greed or Wall Street greed or whatever is going to forever keep them down.
So of course they're gonna be mad if their parents tell them that, if their preacher tells them that, if they go to school, they hear that from a professor or a teacher.
Uh they can't help but escape it.
And so they end up in constantly angry and enraged.
And I I and when yeah, when I see stories like this from Reuters, ugly election incidents show lingering U.S. racism, the media is every bit as part of this too.
They want this country at war with itself.
They want people at the they want men and women arguing with each other, feminism.
They want blacks and whites constantly at odds.
That's racism.
They uh they want they want business with class envy.
They want the rich uh being hated by the poor.
This the Democrat Party and the American left are doing and have been doing their every living best to divide as many people from each other as possible in this country.
And they have succeeded far beyond anybody's wildest dreams.
We sit around here and we say, How in the world can anybody born in this country and see what's around, despise it and hate it?
I agree.
They have to be taught to.
Yes.
And they are being taught to.
And that that takes me back to your original question and your answer.
If a lot of your Jewish friends are afraid to vote against Obama because they don't want to be called racist, look what the stigmatization has done.
Look how successfully the stigmatization of people has become.
Yes, I'm really chastised, you know, by them.
Um had to put a lot of distance, you know, between myself and them because I don't believe in the Obama utopia.
You know, it's it's really a sad state of the country that we've come to.
Um, you know, the thing is they don't either.
They know these are Jewish people.
They they've got to be among all of us.
They have to know there's no utopia.
But that's come that comes secondary to what they think people will think of them or what they will think of themselves.
Right.
Yes.
Thank you for taking my call.
And I have one more thing.
Um my f while I was on hold to speak with you.
Um a friend of mine, Joe Shiara, called me from Hershey and told me that that at the Giant Center um in Hershey next Tuesday, McCain and Palin will be speaking.
At the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Yes.
Okay.
I don't I'm sorry, I don't know the times, but I thought you could put that on your radio.
You just did.
And I guarantee you that people in Hershey at the Giants that are already know that they're coming, and probably the event is sold out by now, and it'll be oversold, or not sold out, but it'll they'll have no more room for it uh pretty soon.
By the way, Hershey.

You know how they did it?

All right, for uh gag alert here.
Gag alert from the Boston Channel.com.
Headline, Woman 93 votes, dies hour later.
A subheadline, Son says mom worried she wouldn't live long enough to vote.
Boston, for the 93-year-old matriarch of a Foxboro, Massachusetts family.
Voting in this year's election was so important that it was literally the last thing she ever did.
Dora Fitzgerald's son Terry said that his mother, who had a worsening heart condition, hung on long enough to be able to cast an absentee ballot from her bed in North Charleston, South Carolina on October 8th, and then died an hour later.
He said his sister worried that Dora might not live long enough to vote in November, so she sent away for an absentee ballot, which Doris signed and mailed with the help of one of his siblings.
Fitzgerald said his mother became feistier and more politically opinionated as she grew older.
or Well, let's cut to the chase here.
Who did she vote for?
Who do you think she voted for?
She cast her ballot for Barack Obama, who her children said she had taken a liking to during the election season.
It's unclear whether her ballot will count in South Carolina.
Uh in Massachusetts, the absentee ballot of someone who died before election day would not be valid.
But nevertheless, woman 93 votes, worried she wouldn't live long enough to cast ballot for Obama.
All right, ugly election incidents showing lingering U.S. racism.
Let's talk about some of these ugly incidents from St. Paul, Minnesota.
Vandals spray painted the words scum and criminal and repent on the garage of Senator Norm Coleman's St. Paul home overnight.
Spokesman Mark Drake said yesterday morning the graffiti in the garage says you are a criminal.
Resign or else.
Republican headquarters manager's home shot up over McCain's signs.
This is from Longwood, Florida.
The home of a central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Senator McCain, the man told the cops.
Rog Coverley said several pellets pierced his home.
Coverley showed several spider webbed holes in the front windows of his home.
Said he's convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs that he added around his home.
And there are uh there are other examples of this as well.
And of course, the uh the idea that the all of these attacks, all these incidents are perpetrated by anti-Obama people, which therefore means that we live in a still it's just so sad the media says, still live in a racist country and society.
And that's not the apt way to describe this.
The way to describe this is that we are surrounded by people who need to be institutionalized.
We are surrounded by people who need to be in a padded cell who are walking free, and they vote Democrat.
We're all at risk out here.
None of us are safe.
Look at this.
