Time Text
Right here it is.
I mean, the state-controlled media can no longer carry the water on something that's so obviously a failure.
Stimulus for roads has not helped joblessness.
Greetings, my friends.
It's Rush Limbaugh, and this is the EIB network and the fastest three hours in media.
It's great to have you here, as always is.
Telephone number, if you'd like to join us, 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
Now, don't get your halts up, though.
The AP is admitting here it didn't work, but then, hey, they say let's try it again.
They outline in this piece that the stimulus money that's been spent so far has had no effect on jobs.
None, not anywhere.
The veil is off.
They're no longer pretending that there are jobs created or saved.
Now, the question that, here, how the story starts, 10 months into Obama's first economic stimulus plan, a surge in, and it's not Bush's, it's Obama's.
A surge in spending on roads and bridges has had no effect on local unemployment and only barely helped the beleaguered construction industry.
An AP analysis has found.
Spend a lot or spend nothing at all.
It didn't matter, the AP analysis showed.
Local unemployment rates rose and fell regardless of how much stimulus money Washington poured out for transportation, raising questions about Obama's argument that more road money would address an urgent need to accelerate job growth.
All they can talk about from the stimulus that's been beneficial is the extension of unemployment compensation benefits.
So, you know, the real question here, folks, is how come despite the vast amount of history that's available to all of us, all of the smart, so-called smart, educated business and economic people, hard evidence, examples of failure and successes, charts and graphs, data out the wazoo, we still seem to be confounded by the elementary process of creating and keeping jobs.
Why is this?
Why is the blueprint for coming out of the circumstance we're in, the 1980s, JFK in the 1960s?
Why is it ignored?
And why is this government spending constantly looked at as a panacea when it isn't?
And the answer is it's not looked at as a panacea.
The people in charge of doing this know exactly what they're doing.
And they're weakening the private sector for the host of reasons that we've mentioned.
It's, I don't know, I'm going to get blue in the face here being repetitive.
Just don't doubt me.
It's being done on purpose.
And the reasons are all recounted in various multiple monologues at my website, rushlimbog.com.
Let's go back to the audio soundbites.
The same March 4th, 2007, at a breakfast before his big speech, this is the same place where Hillary says, I ain't no way tired.
When she was affecting a black dot-elect before a black audience, this is Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama.
This is the site of my conception.
I am the fruits of your labor.
I am the offspring of the movement.
So when people ask me whether I've been to Selma before, I tell them I'm coming home.
When people ask me whether I've been to Selma before, I tell them I'm coming home.
He continued.
My grandfather was a cook to the British in Kenya.
Grew up in a small village.
And all his life, that's all he was, was a cook and a houseboy.
And that's what they called him even when he was 60 years old.
They called him a houseboy.
Wouldn't call him by his last name.
Sound familiar.
So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama.
Don't tell me I'm not coming home when I come to Selma, Alabama.
I'm here because somebody marched for all free.
I'm here because y'all sacrificed for me.
I stand on the shoulders of Jack.
And he has been to Selma before.
And he said so in honor of Harry Reid.
We don't do dedications on this program much, but we're going to do one now.
This following tune dedicated to the Senate majority leader, Dingy Harry Reid.
White comedian Paul Shanklin and the Barack the Magic Negro, as portrayed vocally by the Reverend Al Sharpton as dedicated to the Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reid, I want to go back March of 2008 and share with you again a monologue I did on this program on March the 14th.
And this was the opening monologue.
And I think this probably had a role in Obama's famous and earth-moving race speech, which was four or five days later.
And the reason I want to go back and repeat this is that it ties right into Harry Reid's No Negro dialect comment.
Now, the headline is we headlined it at RushLimbaugh.com, Barack Obama and Pastor Wright, far more than guilt by association.
This pastor was the central force in this church, and that's why Obama chose it.
It's why the pastor married them.
It's why Reverend Wright baptized their kids.
There's a story on the American Thinker blog today by C. Edmund Wright, who is not related to Pastor Wright, by the way.
His theory is simply that the choice of this church by Obama was calculated so that Obama could establish his black street cred with certain elements of the American population.
Because Obama was too clean and articulate.
He was too white to win in Chicago until Jeremiah Wright gave him black street cred.
Now, Harry Reid likes it.
He doesn't have a Negro dialect, but the voters in Chicago did not like that 20 years ago.
In other words, the Reverend Obama embraced the Reverend Wright and the church's agenda to get his black street cred to escape his white half.
And now he's trying to divert attention away from his black street cred.
A little sober reminder here, he's doing this so he can occupy the Oval Office.
This is exactly what Harry Reed said.
This is exactly what he meant.
Now, we are talking about, and these are the words of C. Edmund Wright.
We are American thinker.
We are talking about the leading candidate for the Democrat nomination for president of the United States.
Now, this is Mr. C. Edmund Wright's theory that Obama did this to establish street cred.
It was 20 years ago and did this to mitigate his white half.
They chose this church because of the charismatic pastor's beliefs.
And it would be reasonable to conclude that this pastor is one of the reasons that Michelle Maybell harbors the views that she does.
She's an angry woman running around out there that the pastor doesn't just pop off here and there, folks, like the nutty uncle in the attic that Obama's trying to portray him as.
This was his usual way of talking.
We have a little bit more from him today.
We have some extended segments when we come back from the break.
But the point is, this is a monologue from March 18th of 2008.
The point is that C. Edmund Wright's theory about why Obama chose Wright and Wright's church is the exact same thing that Harry Reid said, which is, I really think if people stop to think about this and consider it even further, that what Harry Reid said is Really devastatingly racist.
Because if he's saying, which he is, that only light-skinned blacks who don't sound black can be elected, that's more than just awkward, as the NAALCP says.
That's much more than that's well, they're laughing in there, but that's how to translate what Harry Reid said.
He's light-skinned and doesn't sound black.
That's why I said I want to know what a black dialect is to Harry Reid.
I want him to tell me who has one.
We got to take a break.
Your phone calls are right around the corner on this, the Rush Lynn Baugh program.
Sit tight.
Ha!
And we're back, Rush Lynn Baugh.
Actually, Mike, forget the soundbite order, 33, 34, 35 coming up next.
But first to the phones, we're going to start Omaha with Sarah.
Nice to have you here.
Hello.
Good.
Good day to you, Rush.
I'm glad you're feeling great.
Thank you very much.
Sound great.
Hey, with regard to the Reed comments, he is a racist.
It is a racist comment.
But, you know, surely Americans, you know, Americans are an intelligent people.
They know that these people, whether it be Obama, whether it be Pelosi, whether it be Harry Reid, whether it be Hillary, that they all are going to do exactly what they need to to get into office and to get whatever they want.
I mean, if you look in the Webster Dictionary, dialect, a variety of language confined to a certain region.
Well, when they go in and try and get the votes in one region, they're going to sound like that region.
And then they're going to go to another.
But most importantly, Rush, in my opinion, this is just another rom Emmanuel crisis idea for the second full week in 2010.
This is another one.
I don't know what he's going to come up with for next week or the next week or the next week.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're saying that the release of the book is a rom-emanual idea to distract everybody from health care?
I think the timiness, I think the timiness, and then this being pulled out is a diversion because it's going to lead us into immigration reform, which is their next big batch that they have.
Well, let me tell you something.
It has not diverted me.
It has not distracted me.
I have interwoven health care news, unemployment news, stimulus failure news with all of this stuff today.
Now, these books, the books have publication dates that are set way, way in advance.
And we give these guys credit for being manipulative conspirators and so forth, and they clearly are.
But that's not the real story here.
I don't think this is something that's being used to divert everybody.
I think the real story here, folks, aside from the content of Bill Clinton saying what he said and Harry Reid saying what he said, is that a bunch of liberal journalists knew this all during the campaign, and they sat on it.
These are reporters.
These are journalists for Time Magazine, ABC.
Halpern's worked at a number of places.
They had all of this.
And this happens every year.
All these journalists write books to catalog campaigns.
Now, in the case of the stuff in this book about Sarah Palin, they didn't sit on that.
I mean, that stuff's there's nothing new in the book about Sarah Palin.
But we didn't know Harry Reid said all this.
I thought it was a private conversation off the record.
Well, it doesn't matter.
He still said it.
These guys knew it.
And Bill Clinton, they sat on this during the campaign.
Can you imagine if they had reported this at the time?
Now, they saved it, obviously, for their book, which means what?
They were seeking financial reward.
They held this information for a multiple number of reasons.
They knew the book would sell big because it has dynamite stuff.
I think one of the authors of the book is saying, I had no idea that this Harry Reid comment would be such a big deal.
You didn't?
You didn't think that a comment like that by Harry Reeves is such a big deal.
And the Clinton comment and all the other things in it.
And I'll tell you what, the stuff in this, we haven't touched on it yet, but the stuff in this book on John and Elizabeth Edwards is just devastating.
And I don't doubt a word of it.
I mean, they are two people, the exact opposite of the image that was projected and portrayed of them and by them and for them.
And they're not the compassionate, soft-spoken, you know, Elizabeth Edwards, they had a PAC, political action committee, and some of the underlings had screwed up and had not succeeded in purchasing Elizabeth and John health insurance from the PAC.
And she flipped out when she heard that.
And she said, if this is not done tomorrow, everybody's health insurance in this pack is getting canceled.
You're going to cancel everybody until if you don't take care of John and me, we're getting rid of everybody.
They're canceling everybody's health insurance.
It's true of all most Democrats.
These are not the sweet, compassionate, caring.
So these are vicious, mean, extreme people in many, many ways, ideologically, personally.
They are arrogant.
They are condescending.
They hold average people in contempt or look at them with contempt.
So the big story here is all the stuff that these people sit on.
There was another, in the 2004 election, I forget who did the book, but there was a book about the Kerry campaign, and it had similar things in it that had it come out during the campaign.
Had they come out during the campaign, it might have changed the way things went, even though Bush ended up winning.
But I mean, this is the real indictment here: that journalists on the prowl, on the campaign trail, hear all of these things and hold them.
And they hold back on it, except the Palin and McCain stuff.
I don't think there's anything new in this book about Palin that I haven't heard before.
The stuff that's true, the stuff that isn't true.
And there's a lot in this book about Palin that isn't true.
Here's Leo in Port Arthur, Texas.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Yeah, good afternoon.
I'm listening to today's program, and I'm wondering, man, when is enough enough?
Conservatives seem to take the approach regardless of the outcome.
Now, the president has accepted Reed's apology, but for some reason, you all continuing to just vomit over the airways and lap this up to keep it going because the conservatives don't even have a message and don't have any leadership.
I see this as a distraction, a distractionary tactic from the old conservative playbook to distract America from the real issues with everything that we're facing as a country right now.
Every minute wasted not discussing the issues, especially issues in your own party, is a wasted minute.
I mean, come on, let's get real with what's going on and what's really important in America right now.
What's that, Leo?
What's really important in America right now?
Getting the economy back on track, reuniting the country.
Hey, Leo, who's an approach?
Leo, Leo, who's got the ideas to bring the economy back?
The Democrats.
If you all would just sit down, take your lungs, let the Democrats do what they have to do, and everything will be all right.
Leo, you illustrate the biggest problem this country faces, and that is a partisanship that blinds you to truth and has you loyal to lies.
The Democrats have the best eye, the best ideas.
There's nobody that can stop their ideas.
The Republicans don't have the votes to stop anything, Leo.
This destruction of the U.S. economy is owned single-handedly by Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.
They own it.
They have destroyed the U.S. private sector, and they're going to destroy even more of it.
And it's happening right in front of your eyes.
Do you remember a man by the name of George Allen Leo?
He's a man that uttered the word maca at a campaign rally, and the Washington Post, the Democrat Party, didn't say, you know, the country facing some really important issues.
Now, we're going to kind of forget that George Allen said this.
In fact, we don't even know what a macaka is.
No, they didn't do that, Leo.
The Washington Post, the Democrat Party proceeded to drive George Allen from the campaign, just as they, along with Republican help, drove Trent Lott from his leadership post in the United States Senate.
I should tell you people that I am told by our official call screener today, who is not Mr. Snirdley.
Mr. Snirdley is traveling back today from halfway around the world, and he'll be back tomorrow.
But we are being overrun by a spam call campaign of people defending Dingy Harry.
They're out in droves today.
I mean, there is a, the Reed defenders are all over the place.
It's a coordinated attack.
And they said, we don't support, we don't support what he said, but guys, can't we move on here?
I mean, you Republicans are wasting time.
We've got big, important issues here, and you're focusing on a bunch of stuff in the book.
That's the tactic that they're using.
We are prepared and are ready for them.
You know, folks, this nation is entering its eighth year, eighth year of still discussing a radio host saying Donovan McNabb is overrated by the media, overrated by the media because he's black, which was not racist in any way, shape, or form.
And the left wants us to not mention Dingy Harry and Bill Clinton for a day.
And yet for eight years, they will not let go of this Donovan McNabb incident.
And I got started on ESPN.
Here's Keith in Columbus, Ohio.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, sir.
What I find with these comments, even though I do agree with what he said, because it is true, I find them hilarious.
I don't find any offense to them.
And the reason being is because the United States is so morally afraid to take this issue on that anytime race is brought up, any issue, it gets swept under the carpet.
And there's a lot of thin-skin, and I'm going to use the term Negroes out there.
They should not blow this up to more than what it is.
The man spoke the truth.
Now, his choice of words, maybe, but I have to look at his age, and that is the way that you stay.
Keith, are you black?
Yes, I am.
Well, I thought I detected a black dialect, but I wasn't sure I was going to call Harry Reid.
But let me ask you, do you understand the opposite of what Harry Reid said?
You don't think it's a big deal.
You know what he really said?
You say he spoke the truth, and I agree with you.
But it is true.
It is true.
This country would not have elected a dark, pigmented man using the disdain day.
There's no way in the world, and you can't tell me that they would have elected him president.
And so you think this to you, Rush, let me say this to you.
It's not even a black dialect.
It is more of an ignorance and the education level dialect.
And in some of it, it's just people refuse to use proper English.
They find it easier to speak that way.
Well, I understand all that.
Obama didn't want to be too white for his street credit in Chicago.
I mean, that's why he chose Reverend Wright.
You know, your comment about we're cowards.
You sound like Gary Holder.
We're cowards about race.
We never stop talking about race in this country.
I think we need to stop talking about it and stop being concerned with it and treat everybody in a colorblind society.
That's what I aspire to, but we don't.
You don't think it's an important thing here that the Democrat Party thinks of blacks with a plantation mentality?
That's what the Clinton comment proves.
That's what Hillary.
Democrat Party, sir.
And if you excuse me for saying it's the majority of white men think this way.
And the reasons being they don't have black friends.
They don't spend a lot of time around black people.
They don't live around them.
They look at the news.
That is the time they see black people.
And that is what they believe about black people.
They do not take the time.
No, I don't think that you can't take what black people want to have believed about them out of the equation.
Look at the rappers.
The rappers say, hey, this is our culture.
This is the way we're forced to grow up.
This is why we hate the cops.
You have got to understand our lives.
We're told what black life in America is like through black culture.
I mean, it's not prejudice that's causing all of this.
That is, that's exactly what I said.
And that's the same way I feel about Mr. Reed.
It is not prejudice.
He came up in a different era.
And that is the way they talk.
And like I said, I just, I feel it's unfortunate that he said that.
But again, it is true, what he said.
It's true exactly what he said.
But maybe so, but the point is, he can get away with it.
And others in the country couldn't.
I couldn't get away with it.
If I had said that, or if I, toast, there's clearly a double standard here, and the double standard benefits the people who I think are the genuine racists and bigots.
And that's the Democrats.
The double standard benefits, gives the benefit of the doubt to people who we know.
Look at blacks with a plantation mentality.
And when Bill Clinton goes to Ted Kennedy, he's like, come on, man, you can't endorse that guy.
I mean, a few years ago, he'd be fetching us our coffee.
I mean, that's that, you know, I don't have any, I don't know anybody saying that on my side of the aisle.
I think it's a big deal here.
If we want to talk about race, let's talk about it in a way that we haven't really nationally, and that is the racism in the Democrat Party.
Go back and look at the primaries through 2007, 2008 between Hillary and Obama, and look at some of the media recalling Obama not authentic enough.
Not authentic.
It wasn't us.
It wasn't our side doing that.
It was them.
And that's the big untold story in our culture today: that there is an ideological belief and a political party that gets away with all of this.
They get away.
I mean, the Democrat Party's destroyed the black family, maybe with their good intentions, but so what?
The end result is horrible.
I don't care about the intentions.
All of these welfare programs have done nothing to help.
And it's just, to me, it's near criminal what's been done in the name of compassion.
And it's been genuinely destructive.
Let's go to Albany.
Tom, you're next on the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It's great to speak with you, and thank you for the work you do.
Thank you very much, sir.
We've talked before, and our previous conversations were kind of lighthearted.
We kind of laughed at certain Democrats.
Today, I'm curious.
And I mean, I'm really, well, I'm worked up worse than I've been in a long time.
You had a call 10 minutes ago from a guy saying, leave Harry Reid alone.
We have to worry about America.
And you can't keep regurgitating negative press about Reed and on and on and on.
Yeah, but let me tell you something about that.
The reason that, and we're being spammed with these people, and the reason we're getting coordinated calls is because Reed and the Democrats are worried.
They know that the Reed quote genuinely, really hurts them.
And that's why they have this army out there trying to call all radio talk shows and intimidate hosts into dropping it.
Well, let me share this with you.
During Christmas week, when you had the attempted bombing of the plane, and basically there was nothing good coming from the White House and nothing good for the Democratic Party, out of curiosity, I switched over to MSNBC to see what they were talking about.
Monday night, Sarah Palin.
Tuesday night, Bristol Palin.
Wednesday night, Bristol Palin's boyfriend.
Thursday night, Sarah Palin.
Night after night, Sarah Palin lost the election in 2008.
This is 2010.
They're still talking not just about Sarah Palin, her daughter, her daughter's boyfriend's going to appear in Playgirl.
And they have the nerve to say we need to talk about America.
Good point.
Good point.
They won't let my McNabb comment go.
They won't let Sarah Palin go.
And what Harry Reid comes out and says one thing, let's move off of far more important things to do to talk about.
This is what they always, always do.
This is because they're being genuinely hurt by this.
Didn't they, Ron Howard, Opie?
Didn't he make the movie Frost, Nixon, the tapes?
I mean, when are they going to leave Nixon alone?
That was 35 years ago, Rush.
These are the guys who live in the past.
And now when Harry Reid opens his mouth and steps in it, what are they saying?
We got to focus on the future.
We've got to focus on America.
It's a double standard, Rush.
Of course it's a double standard, and they've got the media on their side, but it's more than a double standard, Tom.
And not to diminish the powerful point that you're making, because you're dead on right.
But in addition to that, it is who they are.
It is how they operate.
Character assassination, revision of history, the attempted destruction of people on the other side who are credible is how they operate.
That's why they continually go after Reagan.
They cannot afford for the truth of the 80s to become commonplace.
The truth of the 80s would wipe out anything Obama's trying to do.
If people believed, if people had not had their history revised about the 1980s, Obama would have never been elected.
And this stimulus package would have never been implemented.
But Reagan, the time he was in office, he was mean-spirited.
He was a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe.
He was responsible for AIDS.
He stole the homeless's cans of pork and beans, went back to the White House and ate them.
He didn't care about people.
All the while, everybody's life in this country was improving tenfold.
With the economic recovery finally getting started in 83, 84 after the 82 tax cuts.
And the country was booming for years and years and years, and they have to not make sure, they have to make sure that nobody remembers that Reagan and his policies, conservatism was responsible for that.
These people, as a matter of policy, have to destroy the enemies that they consider to be effective, which is why they don't let go of Nixon, which is why they won't let go of Reagan, which is why any Republicans that's in a position of power, if they have a chance to drum him out of town, they will do it.
Anybody else in the media that they perceive as being a threat, they'll go after as well.
It's who they are.
Yeah, there's a double standard.
But I think with these quotes from Denji Harry and Bill Clinton, what people have to understand, that these liberals, these Democrats are the exact opposite of compassionate and tolerant and all of the other soft, fuzzy, and warm image that they have created and maintained for themselves.
It's not true.
And we'll be right back. meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
I am Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone at the distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
What if?
What if that stupid cop from Cambridge had said what Harry Reid said or what Bill Clinton said?
That cop would have lost his job, would have lost his pension, would have lost everything.
And let's not forget this.
This is Barack Obama on 2007 with, let's see, he's on hardball.
David Gregory, the guest host.
I want to begin by asking you about Don Imus.
You've condemned his remarks about the women's basketball team at Rutgers.
Let me ask you pointedly, do you think he should be fired?
I don't think MSNBC should be carrying the kinds of hateful remarks that Imus uttered the other day.
Will you or would you be a guest on his show in the future?
No, I would not.
I don't want to be an enabler or be encouraging in any way of the kind of programming that results in the unbelievably offensive statements that were made just a few days ago.
So there's Mr. Tolerant Obama demanding Imos be fired while forgiving Harry Reid and absolving Harry Reid.
Well, who is Obama to absolve Harry Reid anyway?
Harry Reid said it.
You'll notice nobody's talking about the Clinton remark.
Hey, hey, Dad, come on, man.
I mean, you know, a few years ago, this guy, this Obama, he'd been fetching us coffee.
Nobody's talking about that.
Here's Dianne Feinstein Sunday morning.
Face the nation.
Bob Schieffer says, is this going to have the same impact on Harry Reid as it did Lott?
Should he resign?
I don't think so.
First of all, all of us are imperfect.
Clearly, this was a mistake.
Clearly, the leader misspoke.
He has also apologized.
When Trent Lott had a somewhat similar situation, I saw no Democrats jumping out there and condemning Senator Lott.
I know Senator Lott.
I happen to be very fond of him, and he made a mistake.
There was no question about that, and he apologized for it.
So I know of no statement by any Democratic senator criticizing Senator Lott.
Really?
Well, December 12, 2002, crossfire.
Remember that show?
Paul Magella, the forehead and Tucker Carlson, and the guest is Senator Mary Landrew.
And the forehead said, so you joined John Kerry, another member of the Senate, fellow Democrat.
He said Senator Lott should not lead the Senate.
Do you agree Senator Lott should not lead the Senate?
Yes, I agree with that.
But it's the real issue is does the Republican Party think this should be their leader?
I can promise you, if a Democratic leader said something like this or close to this, their leadership position would be pulled because our party feels very strongly.
Really?
That's Mary Landrew back in December of 2002.
But Dianne Feinstein said that there were no Democrats that criticized Senator Lott.
And Mary Landrew just did.
She just agreed with John Kerry that he should be denied and have his leadership post taken away.
And she's a Democrat.
We just feel strongly about this.
Our party's different.
Leadership position would be pulled.
And now here's a montage in 2002, December of Democrats condemning Trent Lott.
Trent Lott has made yet another statement consistent with his long history of supporting segregation and separatism.
And now it's gotten to the point where it's downright racism.
Statements were, in fact, racist and they were wrong.
It's a racist statement.
Clearly, a racist sentiment.
Democrats can say we disagree with what he said, and we don't think it's right.
But that's the Republican policy.
How do they think they got a majority in the South anyway?
There's old Bill Clinton.
Hey, Ted, you know what?
This guy, this guy, Obama, he'd been fetching us coffee a few years ago.
Of course, Democrats, we can say we disagree with Lott, but we don't think it's right.
But that's Republican policy, what Lott said.
I mean, how do they think they got a majority in the South anyway?
Where is General Powell, Secretary Powell, Colin Powell, has he piped up on Harry Reid or Bill Clinton?
He hasn't, had he?
But I do remember that he really weighed in on Trent Lott in December of 2002.
I was disappointed in the senator's statement.
I deplored the sentiments behind the statement.
There was nothing about the 1948 election or the Dixiecrat agenda that should have been acceptable anyway to any American at that time or any American now.
I will let the senator and members of the Senate deal with this issue.
That was Secretary of State Colin Powell in December of 2002 condemning Trent Lott.
We haven't heard from Secretary Powell, who we're told is the perfect type of Republican to lead the party.
Weigh in on what Harry Reid said or what Bill Clinton said.
Here's Joe Biden, January 30th, 2007, an interview talking about the Senator Obama.
I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.
Yeah, so he's light-skinned and he doesn't use a Negro dialect when he doesn't want to.
And we're going to, oh, yeah, well, Joe Biden was telling the truth.
Joe Biden, Joe Biden was right.
See, the double standard is he can make all these racial observations.
And Joe Biden and Harry Reid from the Democrat Party can come out and effectively say, hey, you know, dark-skinned blacks, a Negro dialect, ain't going to take us anywhere.
We can't have that.
They can come out and say that.
That's essentially what Biden is saying.
And it's what Harry Reid said.
And when Biden said it, Al Sharpton properly got mad.
He did.
He was upset.
And it caused him to withhold his endorsement of Obama for a while.
And now Harry Reid says basically the same thing.
And we're running like hell to forgive Harry Reid because all that matters is health care.
All that matters is Obama getting his monument.
The administration of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg today either has or is going to unveil a broad new health initiative, which is aimed at encouraging food manufacturers and restaurant chains across the country to curtail the amount of salt in their products.
First it was trans fat, smoking, wine, coffee, chocolate.
Now it's salt.
It's not their business how much salt people eat, but if they're going to pay for health care, ultimately, they're going to make it their business.
If salt causes high blood pressure, you're going to have your salt intake monitored.
This is the first step.
