Time Text
Hello and welcome back with talent on loan from God.
I am Rush Limbaugh from behind a golden EIB microphone here at the Distinguished and Prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800 28282.
This is not the first time that Barack Obama has played the race card.
Remember they played it in the campaign against the Clintons.
Good old boy Bill Clinton in South Carolina.
And a uh they uh they said that uh something he said was racist.
Yeah, there was a fairy tale that he would become president and uh that Obama would become president.
And of course, Hillary criticized Obama all during the campaign.
Does that make her a racist?
It happened during the primary.
Uh I mean, the Clinton campaign was disgusted.
I mean, they I remember Clinton said uh they threw the race card on me.
I mean, I'm not down in South Carolina.
I'm trying to help Hillary, I try to help myself, I'm trying to represent America.
I threw the race card on me.
Yeah, I know they were very worried about how the racist Democrats were going to vote in Pennsylvania.
Remember, I mean, this is a standard.
It's page one of the Democrat Party playbook, folks.
Uh, let's see.
Oh, oh, get this.
The House Ethics Committee said today it will put off for now an expanded investigation into whether Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. or his representatives tried to buy Obama's former Senate seat.
Now the House was able to rebuke Joe Wilson in one week.
This is racist.
There's no question race is playing a role in this here.
The committee revealed that the deferred investigation now includes allegations that Jack's a Democrat.
AP threw that in.
It's rare.
Uh Jackson, a Democrat improperly used his staff in Washington of Chicago to mount a PR campaign, public campaign to secure the Senate seat.
The committee acted at the behest of federal prosecutors who already are investigating uh Blagoyovich.
The panel normally defers investigations when requested by law enforcement to avoid interference with prosecutors.
Uh-huh.
Sure.
Yeah.
They're deferring the investigation here to keep uh Pat Fitzgerald all happy out in Chicago.
But it's uh it says here that uh Representative Dax may have violated federal law and House rules.
But ever gonna defer.
We're gonna defer the probe here.
We're gonna look into it.
We got bigger fish to fry.
We had to rebuke Joe Wilson.
Which they were able to do in a week.
I just had the story from the New York Times where I I I kid you not, if you miss this, I'm gonna just I'm gonna summarize the story.
The New York Times has a serious story here.
People aren't hiring, and that's good.
But the people who do have jobs are getting raises.
And that's good.
It was the it's a silliest story.
It's it's it's a blatant, transparent attempt to pump up a failing president in his economic disaster.
And there's this one paragraph where they're talking about churn, you know, firing and hiring and hiring and firing, and so a lot of companies have stopped churning.
They're simply uh they're they're they're not firing as many people, but they're not hiring either.
Which is good.
So with 9.7% unemployment, the New York Times says it's a good thing that people aren't hiring.
The Washington Post today.
If you're one of these people that still has a job and you are getting a raise, as the New York Times claims, get this.
As businesses contend with rising costs, many workers face an erosion of health benefits next year, according to an annual survey released yesterday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust.
Forty percent of employers surveyed said they're likely to increase the amount their workers pay out of pocket for doctor visits.
Almost as many said they are likely to raise annual deductibles and the amount workers pay for prescription drugs.
Said they plan to tighten eligibility for health benefits.
8% said they plan to drop coverage entirely.
The authors of the study said the findings underscore the need for federal action to rein in co What great timing?
What a great timing for this story to come out.
Evil businessmen are going to raise the cost of health benefits to their workers, and in some cases they might even eliminate them.
And the authors say, well, these findings underscored the need for federal action to rein in costs.
And this is an incredible story.
This story is from Reuters.
It's out of London.
And I swear to you, I'm not making up a word of this.
A group of school children who reared a lamb from birth and named the lamb Marcus has overridden objections by parents and animal rights activists and voted to send the animal to be slaughtered.
Marcus, the six-month-old lamb, has now been culled.
The head teacher of the primary school in Kent confirmed Monday after the school's council, a 14-member group of children between six and eleven, voted 13 to 1 to have six-month-old Marcus the Lamb killed.
The decision has provoked fury among animal-loving celebrities, animal and human rights campaigners, and the parents of some of the children led to threats against Lloyd Primary School and its teachers, according to a member of the staff.
Around 250 children at the school take part in a program designed to teach them about rearing and breeding animals.
The educational farm was started this year with Marcus.
The uh the lamb being hand fed by the kids.
The kids also took after look after ducks, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
The intention had been to buy pigs with the money raised from slaughtering Marcus.
But those plans have been put on hold following the furor created by the lamb's culling.
The school said the program may now have to be stopped.
Yeah, it's all up in the air, said a member of the staff.
There's been so much pressure on us as a as a result of all this.
Despite that, the school said there'd been overwhelming support among the children, the staff, and most of the parents to have Marcus, who was a castrated male who could not have been used for breeding, sent to the slaughterhouse.
But opponents branded it heartless and cruel.
Animal rights campaigners asking why Marcus could not have been used to teach the children about wool, and human rights campaigners worried about the emotional impact of Marcus's death on the kids.
What emotional impact?
They voted for it.
A popular talk show host offered to buy the lamb and give it sanctuary, and Facebook groups sprung up to rally support to keep Marcus alive, but the children had the final say.
The school defended the decision, calling it educational.
So they started this animal farm at this school in 2009.
They say the aim was to educate the children in all aspects of farming life and everything that implies, said the school in a statement.
If that means wiping out Marcus to six months, can you believe it?
Pardon me, loves these kids.
Six to eleven years old, thirteen to one vote to uh wipe out the lamb.
Because they had they they they were going to use uh money to buy pigs.
They were they were trying to be farmers out there.
All right, Max Baucus has introduced his health care bill.
And everybody's ripping it to shreds.
I mean, uh Charles Grassley, who is a Republican on that committee and was one of the gang of six.
Wow, looks like we've been overlooked.
Looks like we don't matter here.
Apparently, Bauchus just went out there.
He got fed up with waiting to get any kind of agreement on the committee, just went out to say my bill, except he's not saying I. He's saying we ours.
So we've got this montage together.
I mean, the Democrats don't like Bauchus's plan, and Republicans don't like it.
In fact, give you an illustration here from ABC News.
It's not every day that you hear a Democrat senator charge that a fellow Democrats proposing to raise taxes on the middle class.
But that's what happened yesterday when Senator J. Rockefeller ripped into the health care bill developed by Max Baucus, the Baucus proposal, would impose starting in 2013 a 35% excise tax on insurance companies for high cost plans, defined as those above eight grand for individuals and 21,000 for family plans.
Health economists believe that a tax on high price benefits could help slow the growth of health costs by making consumers more sensitive to prices.
Now wait a second here.
Costs can be controlled by making consumers more sensitive to prices.
Uh that's what we have been saying all along in this in this debate.
Reconnect the consumer with the cost of services, and you will see the cost of services go down, just like the lady who called here with the $20 x-ray.
But liberals only connect these dots when it comes to taxes.
So Jay Rockefeller, I'm not gonna go for this.
It raises taxes on the middle class.
And so here's his montage of Baucus.
And when he says we here, he means me.
It reflects months of work of preparation by our committee.
We need to hold the insurance industry accountable.
We're presenting this package.
Our market shures choice.
Our package makes clear our reforms.
Our package we've done everything.
All of us working for reform.
All of our first choices.
We all share and we will act.
We will act and pass health reform.
And nobody likes his plan.
Nobody likes the plan.
We'll be back after this with more audio sound bites and your telephone calls.
All right.
I'm getting understandably so.
I mean, I'm I'm getting my share of grief for some comments made in the first hour about the chicken of news and about women are destroying the sport of politics and so forth.
So let me give you an illustration of what I'm talking about.
Chicken of the news.
CNN.
Enforcing bedtimes improves kids' health.
This is a leading story on their website.
Here are the story highlights.
Setting bedtimes can improve sleep quality and quantity for infants and toddlers.
Study.
Families from lower educated backgrounds are less likely to use bedtimes.
Don't medicate kids to help them go to sleep, researchers warn.
Now, folks, uh it's it's worse than nannies now.
I mean, they become our grandmothers.
This is just common sense to think that we have to have a major news network warn the American parents about the proper way to get their kids to sleep.
You know, bedtimes also keep them off Ritalin.
Keep them from getting sick as often.
Not to mention it teaches them how to discipline themselves.
Uh I just I I this is just the this is a glaring example of what I'm talking about.
And of course, the uh the uh uh writer of the story is uh Madison Park.
And listen to how it begins.
When Genevieve and Brian Scori were new to parenting, they allowed their two young kids to read or watch TV until they fell asleep.
It was an agitated frenzy until they would pay.
How in the world did this writer come?
What how do you find these people?
What do you put a want ed out on Facebook or Twitter?
Say I'm doing a story on bedtimes.
How do your kids do it with you?
What how do you find these people?
Do Genevieve and Brian Scory have a fax machine and they send out their news of what how their family's sleep patterns work, and CNN just happened to see it.
The intrepid report.
How does this happen?
Well, it happens because this is the kind of stuff that chicks in newsrooms think is it's not even news.
I in no way is it is it is it categorized as news.
Sandra in Fort Myers, Florida.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Ditto's rush.
Thank you.
Thank you for all you do.
You you must know that for millions of us who listen to you every day, you keep us centered and you keep us sane.
Um my point is uh the boomers are almost up on Medicare.
We keep talking about Granny being uh uh put uh out uh by what's about to happen to us.
Pull the plug on, Granny.
Boom the plug on that's exactly right, but the boomers are headed, and we all know they are a big chunk.
And I just wonder how coincidental it is that this is about uh to happen as they're coming uh up on their Medicare.
This world has been their oyster.
Uh they were raised uh many of them by permissive parents.
They were told they would be forever young.
They have uh done uh so much, they've uh invented so many things, and I think they've always kind of thought that they uh would be around forever and ever.
They had knee replacements, hip replacements, facelifts, uh anything they wanted has been available to them.
Yeah.
And when is it gonna dawn on them that this Obamacare is about to often?
Uh and how will they react to this when it finally does dawn?
I think they're starting to figure it out.
I think it I think it has dawned on them.
Uh, you know, the Rasmussen poll is showing 55 percent is the highest number that Rasmussen's produced.
Excuse me, 55 percent disapprove of the uh of the of the big plan.
But Rush, they can disapprove, but what are they gonna do to stop this?
What are uh are they going to become so ensnared that they when it finally happens that they realize that that they can't get out of the trap?
What's going to finally be the tipping point?
Uh I mean, I can't imagine they're gonna go into the sunset willingly.
Um so do you see something that is going to cause this if indeed Max Bauchus and his ilk get uh this plan through that?
It means Baucus is planning to get through.
Olympia snowbombed out of it.
They're no republic.
The Democrats don't like the Baucus plan.
Look at there the they may lose.
They they may not have the votes in the House of Representatives right now for the House plan.
You I think the tipping point's been reached.
Well, but he's gonna get something, and it's going to continue to grow.
They cannot afford to have him lose on this and then uh weaken him for all the other plans they have in store.
So I I I look at I've I've I've uh made that point myself.
I mean, this everything's wrapped up in this.
They're gonna even even if they produce a bill that says nothing more than we must study this further, they're gonna get a bill that says the health care recovery act of 2009 or whatever.
Uh, they're gonna produce something uh to uh save the guy's bacon.
But look at this is uh the 2010 elections are crucial.
I mean, I d uh what are the baby boomers gonna do?
We're we're doing everything we can to inform people, and I think it's working out there.
Need a little bit more optimism out there.
Uh Sandrew, we need a little bit more optimism out there.
We're we're I mean, there's a there's a huge conservative ascendancy taking place here.
And it's uh it's it's it's well timed.
And we they tried out the national hemorrhoid just to join this talk about half the country's racist, and so it's a tan-amount admission that they're losing.
It's a tan-amount admission that they're close to defeat.
They throw the race card out like this, this blatantly.
It's uh trying to distract from a whole bunch of stuff.
Five appearances Sunday on the Sunday shows, and every time he goes on TV, the numbers go down for his health care.
Hey, he's gonna go kiss ass on Letterman before he does the five Sunday shows.
I mean, uh it's uh they're on the run up there.
I mean, uh we've we've never had a president like this.
We've never had uh uh a president with this all-consuming need to be on television 24-7.
This is Castro-like.
This is like cas this is this this is like a banana republic where the leaders all over television all the time.
Chavez.
This guy's on TV more than Chavez is, and Chavez has his own five-hour television show.
This guy's everywhere.
And it's it's it's not you know, when he went on vacation up there in uh uh the uh the black enclave of uh uh of uh uh Martha's Vineyard, uh when he went up there that didn't do as much.
He went on TV quite as much.
Uh and his numbers started trickling up a little bit.
Then he did he did the big house speech where Joe Wilson said you lie.
And he got a little bit of a surge, but it's gone.
It's gone.
He should have just stopped right there.
Just should have stopped.
Now Baucus has come out with his thing, and everybody's opposed to it.
I mean, this Democrat Party, the Republicans can't stop this.
The Democrat Party cannot unify themselves.
And now you got Charlie Wrangle, Charlie Wrangle saying Obama blew it by cutting the price $100 billion.
Where is that story in here?
I gotta find that.
I printed that out.
It's it's somewhere here quick.
Put it in the healthcare stagnant.
Oh, oh, oh, this is what I was looking for while I was talking to you.
This is a different story, too.
This is from the Washington Post.
But where's the Wrangle story?
It's in the New York Post today that Obama blew it by uh by cutting a hundred billion dollars from the health care plan from a trillion down to 900 billion.
Uh, and that's that's that's where he blew it.
You got the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, one of the largest tax cheats in the history of electoral Democrat politics.
This guy, Wrangle, he owns more homes than he can remember.
He's getting rental income from the he doesn't report.
He's got people living in places that he is telling other people are his offices in Harlem.
If he finds a million dollars of income a week today, you know, I just uh it's very complicated.
I uh forgot to report it.
And he's out there saying it's too cheap.
Plan's too cheap.
Uh 900 billion.
We can't do this with uh with about another hundred billion.
Here's the story for the Washington Post.
Young adults key to financing health reform.
This is where we focus next, folks.
Because young people, they don't think this affects them yet.
Immortal, but wait till you hear this.
Well, I missed this one, but a uh friend just sent me this.
In addition to CNN running a story today on uh sleep, uh how to get your kids to go to bed on time, stay asleep, and all the benefits of that.
There's another one by Elizabeth Landau, CNN spanking is detrimental to children, study says.
How old is that theory?
Spanking detrimental.
There's a long story, too.
I'm not even gonna.
Listen to this email.
The email during the uh bottom of the hour break.
Uh, dear Rush, your message is immortal, but you are not.
What'll happen to us after you?
When you are on vacation, it's like a morgue out here.
Can you please have sex with 20 girls and produce 20 rush baby boys?
Old family values rush, right?
Right.
Uh, interesting.
Sex with 20 girls and produce 20 baby boys.
Don't throw it away, it's worth considering.
Don't be silly, snurdley.
It is you are being silly.
You that's a guy who sent it in.
It's uh not a woman.
Guy named Robert.
Uh Robert R. I I don't know Robert R.'s last name, didn't put the last name.
Well, no, it's not from an acorn office.
This this uh well, it could be.
I actually don't know if it's from an acorn office or not.
Here, look, uh, Washington Post today.
Uh, with mandatory coverage, young adults could effectively be subsidizing their parents.
More than they are now, exactly right.
You know, it's social security and so forth.
I this, I think, the uh young skulls full of mush out there need an education on this, and not from the standpoint of what you know, health care they're gonna have for themselves, then how much this is going to cost them.
As health care legislation advances through Congress, the young adults who were so vital to Obama's election are emerging as a significant beneficiary of his top domestic priority, but they are also likely to play a major role in paying for any reform.
In a campaign-style rally Thursday, the University of Maryland College Park, Obama will aim to tap his richest vein of support, voters Under 30 to help sell his reform plan to a more skeptical general public.
We are at an important turning point in our push for real reform.
Read the emailed invitation, and it's critical that we seize this moment.
Drafting young adults into any health care reform package is crucial to paying for it.
Um because all this effectively means that parents will be subsidized by their kids.
Now it'd be more cost effective if they just did this the old-fashioned way to help their parents if their parents needed help.
It's called being a family.
Which is one more thing that Obama and the Libs want to destroy in this country so that the government can make these decisions.
The government wants to be the family decider.
Families used to take care of this kind of stuff.
You don't you don't pass a massive reform plan that that mandates kids pay through the wazoo for their parents' health care companies.
Maybe that should the kids uh contribute a little bit.
So here's what has to happen now.
Obama has to convince young people to pay for insurance for older people.
Sounds like a lot like Social Security.
And we know how that turned out.
I wonder if Obama can convince these young people that mandating that they buy insurance is a good idea.
Even young people probably would not like being told how they must spend their money.
Because the young people are young people are mostly like libs.
I mean, the idea is great when other people are paying for it.
Might not feel that way when it comes out of their paycheck.
This is going to be a fascinating thing to watch out there.
And we'll be keeping our sharp eyes on it.
Hang on, there's a second.
Oops, oops.
Thought there was just one page.
Oh, let's grab uh grab audio soundbite uh 27, 28, 29, 30.
Yeah, let's go for these.
Uh this is Andrea Mitchell, in me seeing here's Washington on her show this afternoon.
She uh interviewed Representative Elijah Cummings, uh, Democrat Maryland, member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and this is uh part of the exchange.
Rush Limbaugh was recently uh just within the hour reacting on his radio show to Jimmy Carter's comments to Brian Williams, and this is what Rush had to say.
I disagree with Carter for the same reasons I disagree with Obama, but somehow I when I disagree with Carter, I'm not a racist.
When I disagree with Obama, I am, they say.
Congressman, does he have a point?
I don't know.
My parents uh left South Carolina many, many years ago, back in the 1940s, because they wanted a better life for themselves in Baltimore.
Racism has been with me all my life.
I think it'll continue to be.
Was it racist here?
I don't know.
Maureen Dow says it was, certainly Jimmy Carter.
But I think we have to move on.
Maureen Dow.
I you know, I thought she'd be hanging around on that limb by herself.
You live boy.
Instead, the whole the whole DC uh amen chorus picked it up.
And they got even stupider with it than uh than she did.
Now, I I kind of stunned with everything I said about Jimmy Carter being the national hemorrhoid and stuff that they pulled that quote.
Next up is uh is Bill Cosby, uh Andrea Mitchell, and we seem Washington, talking to uh to Bill Cosby.
She says, Rush Limbaugh and others just yesterday again today is talking about race.
Yesterday said it's Obama's America.
Is it not?
Obama's America.
White kids getting beat up on school buses now.
This is because of one instance where kids were arguing white and black over who sits where.
Does the uh does the culture right now with this kind of talk radio and talk television, does this add to the volume, the uh velocity, the racial anger that we at least here expressed.
It doesn't surprise me what Rush Limbaugh says.
I said from the very day that people were hammering me because I was talking about our black children, some of them coming out of the schools yelling and cursing in their behavior, et cetera, et cetera, at an NAACP meeting at Howard University.
They were also concerned that people the likes of a Rush Limbaugh were going to find out these terrible things.
Well, these people say this, they say it anyway.
And Then I said, what difference does it make?
They've always thought about us in this manner.
Anyway.
Now, this is kind of convoluted because I have praised Cosby.
Cosby has taken all kinds of hits because he has chided certain black parents for not doing a good job.
So we cite him on this, and he's taken a lot of hits.
I mean, the NAACP took some hits at him and so forth.
Now, I don't know what.
Um Bill Cosby and I have have more agreement on these things than he would probably know.
But anyway, that's out there.
Uh then they continued, and Cosby uh said this.
Their foremoth and forefathers thought this.
And these people, if they're not racist, then their behavior was that similar to the D.W. Griffiths movie.
If that's not it, then they must be working for the insurance company or for the drug company.
Well, now it's now we're getting into incoherence.
Uh, and out of respect for Mr. Cosby, I will I will I will cease playing anymore.
Now this descending into nonsensical stuff.
Now I don't even know what he's talking about.
Uh here is the Speaker of the House.
Uh CNN's newsroom.
She is not abandoning the public option.
If we're going to mandate health insurance for all Americans, if we're going to subsidize that health care for tens of millions of people, how can we give all of these new consumers to the health insurance industry with no accountability, no competition.
And no real challenge for them to honor the reforms that we have in there.
Now we're pretty good.
And we are back, Rush Limboss serving humanity simply by being here.
Simply by showing up.
All right, the New York Times has done an acorn story.
And it is uh it's by Scott Shane.
I'll tell you more about Scott Shane in mere moments.
The headline Conservatives draw blood from Acorn, favored foe.
For months during last year's presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of vote fraud and other transgressions.
But it took amateur actors, posing as a prostitute and a pimp, and recorded on hidden cameras in visits to Acorn offices to send government officials scrambling in recent days to sever ties with the organization.
No, he knows Charlie Gibson now knows because it's in the New York Times.
I don't believe he didn't know.
I can't look it.
This is a guy that gave Sarah Palin grief for not knowing what the Bush doctrine was.
He know what he knows about.
Don't be silly.
Conservative advocates and broadcasters were gleeful about the success of the tactics in exposing acorn workers who appeared to blithely encourage prostitution and tax evasion.
It was in effect the latest scalp, claimed by those on the right who have made no secret of their hope to weaken Obama by attacking allies and appointees they view as leftist.
The uh acorn controversy came a week after the resignation of Van Jones, a White House environmental official, attacked by conservatives, led by Glenn Beck of Fox News for once signing a petition suggesting the Bush administration might have deliberately permitted the 9-11 attacks.
Even before Jones stepped down, Mr. Beck had sent a message to supporters on Twitter, urging them to find everything you can on three other Obama appointees.
Conservatives believe that they have hit upon a winning formula for such attacks, mobilize people to dig up dirt, trumpeted on talk radio and TV, prompting Congress to weigh in, and demanding action from the Obama administration.
See there's a formula out there.
Now it's all about, it's all about this story, is all about how ACOR was brought to its knees.
Not a word about what Acorn's doing other than blithely suggesting and so forth and so on.
Now this is a perfect example of what passes for journalism at the New York Times.
I mean, did you know that that Dan Jones was only attacked by conservatives led By Glenn Beck of Fox News Channel for once signing a petition suggesting the Bush administration officials might have deliberately as though that's no big deal.
Uh did you realize it's a fact that conservatives believe they have hit upon a winning formula?
Do you do you realize that Acorn has just become a punching bag for the right and its echo chamber?
And now let me tell you about the guy who wrote the piece.
Scott Shane.
Mr. Shane is the intrepid New York Times reporter who released the name of a CIA interrogator who questioned Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other high-level Al-Qaeda prisoners.
Never mind the interrogator did nothing illegal.
By publishing his name, Mr. Shane was putting him at personal risk of retaliation from terrorists who have a long history of such retaliation.
And never mind that there was absolutely no news value whatsoever in releasing the interrogator's name.
No, no, no.
That was journalism, at least, as the New York Times practices it.
So they've they finally have uh have done their story in the New York Times on what is happening uh with uh with Acorn.
By the way, folks, don't forget, if uh I I know a lot of you, you hear me talk about carbonite.
Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
And then you don't.
Slips your mind, or something happens and you don't get around it.
This is something you have to do.
And it's it's one of these things you hope you never have to use.
Like insurance.
You hope you never ever have to use it.
But I guarantee you you will.
This is a system that backs up your computer hard drive off-site, online.
Whenever you're connected to the internet, it happens automatically.
In the background, you don't even see it.
You don't even think about it until disaster strikes.
And carbonite can turn the fear of disaster into the joy of restoration because it'll restore your files.
Your computer's stolen, if it's lost, if uh if the drive crashes or what have you.
Just go to Carbonite.com and use the offer code rush, and that'll get you a genuine 15-day free trial and uh a couple of free months.
Nor is $55 a year.
Works for PC or Mac.
$55 a year, Carbonite.com, two free months, 15-day free trial if you all use offer code.
Well, you get the free trial anyway.
Uh, but use offer code rush, get two months free, and uh so forth and so on.
And it's believe me, it's a lifesaver.
As you know, you're putting more and more of your important stuff on the computer each and every day, because it's convenient to have it there, documents, pictures, and so forth.
Seen too many people lose it all with no backup.
It's disaster.
This is nothing.
This is nothing compared to the joy you will have when this happens to you, and trust me, it will.
In Houston, Leonard, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
I just find Red.
Let me take you off a clue.
Yeah, go.
I'm uh glad to be off speaker.
Yeah.
Thank you for taking my call.
Uh, I don't normally call you and I've been listening to you for a little more than five years.
I don't know, six, seven years.
But I've been hearing people call in talking about uh racism, and and I don't think it's fair, and yeah, one caller call called in denying uh Obama being a racist.
And I'm saying they're so far in the tank, it's gotten so emotional that some of his supporters aren't even American enough to just flip it.
Uh some of the things he said, uh he said his grandmother was a typical white person.
Just imagine some of your callers' supporters, uh specifically my people, black people.
Just imagine if if George Bush uh had made those statements or how about Sarah Palin?

Well, that's it, folks.
