Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
At 10 minutes before 11 o'clock this morning, Eastern Time, the Politico flashed the following update.
A Democrat operative familiar with Mark Martha Coakley and the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee's massive get out the vote operation says that outreach workers in and around Boston.
These are the people on the phones calling to get people to go out and vote for Martha Coakley.
The outreach workers in and around Boston have been stunned by the number of Democrats and Obama supporters who are waving them off, saying they are going to vote, but they're going to vote for Scott Brown.
Greetings and welcome, it's Rush Limboy and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Three fast hours straight ahead.
Looking forward to talking to you.com.
So imagine this.
All these phone bank people up there in Boston are making phone calls.
They got we got buses.
We're going to come pick you up.
We're going to take you to polls.
You want you to do that.
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't bother to come.
Don't I'm going out to vote on my own.
I'm voting for Scott Brown.
That's on the politico.
They are stunned at the number of Democrats saying this.
My all my.
What do we have here?
Boston Globe polls open in special U.S. Senate election.
This this guy that I'm going to quote is right on the money with this comment and is expressing the popular sentiment that uh a majority of Americans, no doubt share.
I'm trying to save the nation today, said Robert Capello, 69, a registered Republican and enthusiastic Brown voter from South Boston who reveled in what he described as an overwhelming sweep of momentum for his candidate.
This election is a lot about sending a message, Capello said.
It's telling Washington to slow down in West Roxbury.
At St. George Orthodox Church, Phil DeCarlo cast his ballot for Coakley, but noted how quickly the Brown campaign gathered steam.
Seems like people have short memories.
They forgot about the last eight years under former President George W. Bush by 9 a.m.
More than 23,000 ballots had been cast, an early turnout significantly higher than in the primary last month.
In the back bay, the crowd voting at Boston Public Library and Copley Square far eclipsed the numbers for the primary last month.
I'm getting stories and reports.
We have spies on the ground.
Lines are half a mile long.
Cars, traffic backed up at polling places this morning.
Some people leaving the line because it's so long saying they're going to come back.
I'm hearing this all over the state.
I probably will be accused of electioneering by reporting what's in the drive-by media today.
I haven't said anything yet that's not the drive-by media.
But I'll probably be accused of electioneering and suppressing the Democrat vote today.
It's no matter the Democrats in the media are trying to suppress the Republican vote all night long.
Oh, it's a fate of compliment.
It's over.
Brown's gonna win, and so there's nothing we can do, and start insulting people, and that's designed to suppress uh the Republican vote, making everybody think it's a it's uh it's in the bag, the weather's bad.
You don't uh you don't need to go out.
From the Boston Globe, here's another story.
This is uh uh Kevin Cullen.
It stretches for four miles.
The headline here is uh for Coakley an ominous sign.
It stretches for four miles from River Street in Mattapan to Dudley Street in Roxbury, and a little more than a year ago there was an Obama sign on every block.
This is Blue Hill Avenue, runs like a vein through the city.
There were Obama signs in Mattapan barbershops, in the windows of the apartment buildings opposite Franklin Field and Franklin Park, in the restaurants of Grove Hall, in the bodegas near Germain Golfagan Park.
Fourteen months ago there was a buzz on Blue Al Blue Hill Avenue and the streets that run off it like caterpillar legs.
This is the heart of the biggest minority community in the state, and the energy generated by the prospect of Obama becoming president was palpable.
Well, yesterday, I drove the length of Blue Hill Avenue and counted exactly two.
That's two.
Martha Coakley signs.
One of them was on a fence next to the Roxbury Energy Gas Station on the corner of Morland Street.
The sign wasn't properly fastened.
It flapped in the wind, revealing a Mike Flaherty from Mayor's sign underneath.
If Martha Coakley loses today, writes Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe.
It won't be because she didn't put up enough signs on Blue Hill Avenue.
It will be because she failed to convince enough of the people who put up the Obama signs on Blue Hill Avenue and a lot of other avenues across Massachusetts that Obama's ability to get anything done depends on her winning the election.
If she loses, it'll be because Coakley didn't tell voters Obama needs her.
That is the opinion on the front page of the Boston Glow.
He's a columnist, actually, so it's not the front page.
So a cochley loss will not signal yes.
This is this is the older that the pre-spin, a cochley loss will not signal a rejection of the Obama agenda, and specifically a rejection of his health health reform initiative.
Oh no, no, no.
It'll only mean that Marcia Coakley didn't tell the voters how much Obama needs her in order to get his wildly popular programs through Congress.
Right.
It is a crock.
They're desperate.
They are all over the place.
Snerdley came in to me today's said do you have do you have any idea what the date was that you uh you first said you wanted Obama to fail.
I said, Well, it's it was it was sometime a year ago.
It was uh it was uh before the Immaculation.
So we checked.
It was January 16th.
We're just over three days beyond a year ago when I made the following comments.
We've gone back to the archives.
I'm gonna play it.
It's about five minutes long.
It is still reverberating to this day.
In fact, the um mayor of Boston, Thomas Manino, uh told a largely black congregation on Sunday that if Marsha Coakley loses the Senate race in Massachusetts, it'll be a victory for people who want President Obama to fail.
There's only one guy who said that.
Everybody else chided me for saying it.
Even people on my own side chided me for saying it.
Every conservative knew that Obama's policies were destined to fail in terms of whether or not it's good for the country, but it just wasn't polite to say so, you see.
I mean, a first black president, it's historic.
Everybody gets every new president gets uh gets uh honeymoon period.
It just wasn't polite.
Just wasn't I know Bush didn't, but that was the uh aftermath of the Florida recount.
Now five minutes long, and this is the whole story, the whole genesis of I Hope He Fails, and I also want you to listen to how prescient I was about what was happening in this country, what was going to happen with Obama's agenda.
I got a request here from a major American print publication.
Dear Rush.
For the Obama Immaculate Inauguration, we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists, to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency.
We would love to include you.
If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night.
That would be ideal.
Now, see, here we're caught in this trap again.
The premise is what is your hope for the my hope and and and please understand me when I say this.
I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, Well, I hope he succeeds.
We've got to give him a chance.
Why?
They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000.
Before he was inaugurated, the search and destroy mission had begun.
I'm not talking about search and destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year and a half.
I know what his politics are.
I know what his plans are as he has stated them.
I don't want them to succeed.
If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down.
And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him.
I don't want, look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible.
From the banking business to the mortgage industry to the automobile business to the health care, I do not want the government in charge of all of these things.
I don't want this to work.
So I'm thinking of replying to the guy.
So Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words.
I need four.
I hope he fails.
Well, what are you laughing at?
See, here's the point.
Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say.
I mean, look at even my staff, oh, you can't do that.
Why not?
Why is it any different?
What's new?
What is what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails?
Liberalism is our problem.
Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here.
Why do I want more of it?
I don't care what the drive-by story is.
I will I would be honored if the drive-by media headlined me all day long.
Limbaugh colon, I hope Obama fails.
Somebody's got to say it.
But what's, you know, were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded?
Or were they out there trying to destroy him from before he was even inaugurated?
Why do we have to play the game on their rules?
Why do we have to accept the premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency that we want him to succeed?
This is affirmative action if we do that.
We want to promote failure.
We want we want to promote incompetence.
We want to stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color of his skin.
Sorry.
I got past the historical nature of this months ago.
He's the president of the United States.
He's my president, he's a human being.
And his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to the, you know, being down for the struggle.
All of that's irrelevant to me.
We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids.
Why in the world we want to saddle them with more liberalism and social?
Why would he want to do that?
So I can answer the four words.
I hope he fails.
And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say.
That shows you just how far gone we are.
Well, I know, I know.
I am the last man standing.
I'm happy to be the last man standing.
I'm honored to be the last man standing.
All right.
I could, yeah, I'm the true Maverick.
I could do more than four words.
I say I hope he fails, and I could do a brief explanation of why.
You know, I want to win.
If my party doesn't, I do.
If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I'm now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts.
Oh, I'm serious about this.
Why in the world?
What is this?
You know, it's what Ann Calder was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these all these victims here.
We've got to make sure the victims are finally assuaged.
Well, the dirty little secret is this isn't going to assuage anybody's victim status.
And the race industry isn't going to go away.
And the fact that America's uh, you know, the original sin of slavery is going to be absolved.
It's not going to happen.
It just isn't, folks.
It's too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country uh into groups that are against each other.
Yes, I'm fired up about this.
That was me, ladies and gentlemen, January 16th of 2009.
Uh, and I must credit Mr. Sturdley for giving me the idea to replay this when he came in and asked me what the date was.
That was January 16th, which was five days prior to the Obama immaculation.
Uh, quite prescient, was it not?
I mean, it called virtually everything that's happened here.
In five minutes.
In five minutes, I explained everything that was going to happen.
The New England News Channel, Channel NECN, has been, it's a cable channel been hectoring its viewers all morning.
They said the turnout so far is only seven percent.
All these reports of a large turnout are not true.
They're quoting people who say things like, shame on the back bay for people not coming out to vote.
The anchors then say, hopefully, turnout will go up as the day goes on.
There's some electioneering going on on the cable network NECN in Boston.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
And the effort to officially save America, as the voters are saying in Massachusetts today, officially begins.
All patriotic bumper music on the program today, folks, While it's still legal.
And now back to the audio sound bites on the Rush Limbaugh program.
This Jessica Yellen last night CNN the Situation Room Wolf Blitzer said the president was out there trying to get some enthusiasm among Democrats.
It's been a huge problem so far, hasn't it?
Huge problem, Wolf.
Oftentimes political reporters are accused of exaggerating the circumstances, being overly dramatic.
This is one instance in which we can truly say that a loss for the Democrats would be cataclysmic for the party.
And here's why.
Not only would it symbolically be devastating because Ted Kennedy's seat, the liberal lion, would be changing hands to the Republican Party.
But if you point out it would throw health care reform into such uncertainty, some people in Washington believe it would be on life support and potentially not passed.
That would mean the president's last year of working toward health care reform would seem to come for naught on that front.
And we would save our health care system in the process.
This is all tied up, and I hope Obama fails.
I don't want these policies of his.
Certainly not his health care reform.
It is a disaster.
And she's right, it would be cataclysmic.
Now Snerdley and I, uh yesterday during one of the top of the hour breaks were talking in his office.
They were watching.
He got three monitors in there, and he always has C-SPAN on one of them, Fox on the other, and Mess NBC on the other one.
And Mess NBC was doing the Kennedy angle of all this.
And I looked at Snerdley.
And I said, you know, these people are the only ones that care.
The people in the media are the only ones that care about this.
And Snerdley said, Yeah, you remember the funeral in Washington.
They shut down the whole route.
They stopped traffic on the whole route because they were expecting throngs of people to show up.
And there weren't throngs.
They had to tighten the camera angles of various shots of the of the funeral procession because there were not log throngs of people out there to watch the funeral procession.
The only people that cared.
Well, not the only, but I mean the media.
It's like the lion of the Senate's gone.
Oh no, Camelot.
Oh no, it's over.
But people that have been listening to this radio show, for example, uh rush babies, younger people.
Uh remember Kennedy had been in that seat for 47 years.
The people who have been listening to this program all of their lives know Ted Kennedy the way we presented him here.
You know, nobody made fun of Democrats nationally until this program came along.
So this all this reverence for the Kennedys, uh, largely tied up in the state-controlled media.
Here's Howard Feynman to illustrate my point.
This is last night on Hardball with Chris Matthews.
Uh Matthew says Brown's clearly double-digit almost 20-point leads in these very bellwether areas of Massachusetts.
They were described by the polster as little Massachusettses in each case, so all the evidence scientifically, if you can measure these things, says that Brown is going to win.
Don't forget it.
In Massachusetts, they have their own version of health care reform.
They installed it a few years ago.
It's expensive.
It doesn't provide all of the benefits that older plans when people had them were able to enjoy.
Chris, this is not Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts anymore.
And I thought it was brilliant and significant that Scott Brown latched on to Jack Kennedy and not Ted.
Once Ted Kennedy passed away, once the respects were paid to the Kennedy family, the Kennedy era in Massachusetts ended.
Right on the money there is Howard Fineman, especially talking about the health care reform that Massachusetts has implemented.
It's expensive, it's more expensive than it was told, they were told it's going to be, and their coverage is less, and they don't want any more of it.
And Vicky Kennedy last night on MSNBC answering the question how did it end up that way that this is such a close race?
I think that we have to ask for people's vote.
Certainly that's the way my husband always ran.
You always ask for everyone's vote for everyone's support.
You can't take anything for granted.
We shouldn't take anything for granted.
You know, Tip O'Neill said it best, you know, all politics is local if you don't ask people for their vote and for their support.
But nobody expected months ago that this would be this close and that a Republican could actually win this seat.
We're all out there asking people for their help and for their support.
Does that sound to you like uh like Vicky Kennedy might be throwing Cochley under the bus?
She's sounds like she's saying that Cochley took the vote for granted.
We're out there asking people to vote for her, but uh you gotta ask people to vote.
She I think by implication, she's saying that Cochley didn't ask people to vote for her.
She has this sense of entitlement, thought it was going to be a sweep precisely because it's the Ted Kennedy seat, but this is not Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts any longer, Howard Feynman right.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Patriotic music in the bumper rotation today.
While it's still legal and approved on this, the first official day of saving the United States.
Great to have you here.
Um, you know, this this business of Vicky Kennedy uh throwing Martha Cochley under the bus, uh, I am now convinced that that's exactly what she was doing.
At HotAir.com today, big name Kennedy endorsements for Marsha Coakley appear to have been little help to the Democrat in the Senate race and may even have hurt her with some voters, according to the Suffolk University 7 News poll.
The late Senator Kennedy's widow Vicky and the nephew Joseph Kennedy II gave the attorney general their official blessing last week.
But of the 500 voters surveyed, only 20% said the Kennedy family nod made them more likely to vote for Cochley 27%, said the endorsement made them less likely to support her.
And it's appeared the Kennedys, at least some of them, do not like Marcia Cochle.
I know, I know it's Martha, but Patrick Kennedy called her Marsha on Sunday, a bunch of times uh at the rally for her, and I'm in deference to him, just like the uh Reverend Dax uh often called governor of New York Mary O'Cumo.
Well, we pronounced it that way in deference to the uh Reverend Dax.
Uh Kennedy nephew, this is in the Washington Examiner, Kennedy nephew Stephen E. Smith later told the Boston uh Herald, quote, she set up a committee six months before my uncle died.
There were people on the corner with a huge Cochley for Senate sign two days after his funeral.
Close quote.
Coakley formally announced her candidacy a week after Kennedy's death.
Uh yet this vote turnout in uh in in Massachusetts, really the anecdotal evidence is that it's huge.
I mean, I get spies up there.
Long lines, half a mile long, automobile lines, people waiting to get in a parking place uh in certain areas, long lines outside the polling place, so long that people are leaving, planning on coming back.
And yet uh NECN, a cable channel up in Boston, uh New England Cable Channel says uh turnout's very light.
It's only seven percent.
And they're urging people to get out there and vote.
Maybe uh maybe they'll uh pick up later in the afternoons.
A high turnout theoretically benefits the Democrat, but I I there there's a there's not only an arousal gap in this, there is a uh there's a there's a uh an enthusiasm gap that's a mile wide.
Uh there is no enthusiasm for Cochley.
There is for Browns.
It's hard to read the vote turnout, but I will say this.
Getting out the vote via Acorn's project vote is the only real job Barack Obama has ever had.
And clearly, it's his uh it's his only success.
It was Acorn under the direction of Barack Obama that got Carroll mostly fraud elected to the Senate in Illinois.
If he can't drag Marsha Cochley across the finish line with Acorn, with the one thing that he's done in his life with experience and success, and that's get out the vote.
Then you gotta really question what's going on.
James Carville today, this is the DailyCenter.com in a survey just published and available on the company's website, but not yet publicized or reported.
The left-leaning public opinion firm Democracy Corps confirms the dangers to Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections.
Let me summarize this for you.
Democracy Corps is the uh polling company of uh uh James Carville and Stanley Greenberg.
And according to the Democracy Corps, I know, I know its core.
And I'm I'm a little double entendre here.
According to Democracy Corps, likely voters have a sharply negative view of the president's health care and economic plans and a far more favorable view of Republicans than they did a few months ago.
Because Democracy Corps was founded by James Carville and Stanley Greenberg, the firm's findings have significant influence in the National Democrat or in National Democrat circles.
They polled uh more than a thousand voters nationwide, including more than 800 likely voters.
And here's the plan.
Only or the result, only one third of the voters support Obama's national health care plan.
Only one third.
In a Carville poll.
This this is, as I say, it's not reported yet, but it's on their website.
And a conservative roadmap to victory is right here, right here in this story on the James Carville Stanley Greenberg poll.
The survey also confirms the continued deterioration of the standing of Democrat House incumbents.
In a comparable Democracy Corps survey conducted last August, likely voters had a warm attitude toward the incumbent House Democrats by a margin of 18 points.
For Republican incumbents, the number was 16.
In the current survey, by contrast, likely voters gave their Republican incumbents a 19-point edge.
The Democrats slipped to 11 points.
That's a shift of 10 percentage points in the relative standing of the two parties in little more than four months on voter intensity and propensity to vote.
The poll saw a significant GOP edge.
Democracy Corps described Republicans as intensely enthusiastic about the 2010 vote.
Forty-six percent seen as very enthusiastic about voting in the 2010 congressional elections, just 33% of Democrats.
That's uh that's pretty big, 46 to 33.
Uh Republicans will be pleased with their standing on individual issues as well in this poll.
When asked which party they trust more on the economy, for example, likely voters favor Republicans by three points, 46 to 43, on whom they trust to be on your side.
Democrats hold a statistically insignificant one-point edge when they usually are 10 points in that question.
On government spending, Republicans have an 11-point advantage on the deficit.
Republican edge is eight points.
In a Carville Greenberg poll.
Other questions cast doubt on the ability of Democrats to make up lost ground by tying their opponents to polarizing conservatives.
Now this is key, because right off the bat, remember that first leadership meeting that uh Obama had in the White House with congressional leadership of both both parties.
He looked at John Boehner, and he said to Boehner, you don't listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Don't listen to Limbaugh, that's not how things get done.
Then Carville, because the polling data they ostensibly had last year, went out and proclaimed me the head of the Republican Party.
And they then proceeded to tie me to every when whenever they had a candidate, whenever they had a uh a Republican, you remember Republicans would criticize me, and then they would uh get swarmed by my uh my fan, so to speak, the Republicans would apologize.
Carvel and all these guys loved it, making me the leader of the Republican Party.
And uh they thought by associating Republicans with me that Democrats would win on issues and at the ballot box.
But questions in the Carville poll cast doubt on the ability of Democrats to make up lost ground by tying their opponents to polarizing conservatives.
When told that Democrats are working to pass mainstream pragmatic solutions and win broad support.
Republicans take their lead from extreme partisans like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Dick Cheney, 43% were more likely to vote for the Democrat candidate against 53% who were not.
So uh if it re to an issue or to a candidate, uh 53% were likely not to vote for that candidate.
In the Carville poll, only 43% would.
So it backfired.
It's just the exact opposite of what they thought.
This is on their website.
A number of other negative messages about Republicans failed to win the backing of a majority, uh, including messages about Republican obstructionism and Republicans giving power back to insurance companies.
What did I tell you yesterday?
By contrast, voters supported a Republican message of lower taxes to promote economic recovery by a margin of 52 to 45%.
This is in the Carville Greenberg Democracy Corpse poll.
Just published and available on their website, not yet publicized or reported until now by me, L. Rushbow.
I told you yesterday that we played it, we played an ad, the audio of an ad that uh Obama ran for Martha Cochley up there, uh bashing the insurance company.
And I asked Snerdley, I said, Snurdly, what's wrong with his ad.
And he was occupied watching something else, probably reading Playgirl.
I don't know what it was.
I don't care.
I don't know.
I said, Well, I'll tell you what it was.
The insurance companies are not hated.
The insurance companies are not hated by a majority of Americans.
Obama might think they are because he hates them.
And I and then I proceeded to tell every one of you, just take a look at the Democrat Party enemies list.
If you work for an insurance company, you have a crosshair on your back.
Obama's targeting your industry.
If you work for an oil company, large or small, you have a crosshair target on your back.
Obama and the Democrats want to get rid of oil, and they are blaming you for all the problems in the world.
If you work for a bank, I don't have to tell you what Obama thinks of you.
If you work for a Wall Street firm, I don't have to tell you what Obama thinks of you.
If you work for a trucking company, I don't have to tell you what Obama thinks of you.
If you work anything to do with the health care industry in the private sector, you know that you are a target.
Basically, ladies and gentlemen, if you have a job in the private sector, the industry in which you work is being targeted by the Democrat Party and Barack Obama.
And they are going to be harmed and damaged.
It's the it's the best way I can tell you to look at this.
I've gone through their enemies' list countless times, now not individuals.
Big oil, big pharmaceutical, big retail.
You work at Walmart.
I guarantee if you shop at Walmart and like it, understand because they're not unionized, you are in the crosshairs of the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party seeks to dominate and control as much of the private sector as it can.
Obama's right in line with that leading the way.
Let's take a look at their enemies list.
And so this Carville poll proves that the majority of people in this country do not hate the insurance companies.
They do not hate drug companies.
They do not hate Walmart.
The real hate for all those things exists in the Democrat Party of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi.
Learn it.
And don't doubt me.
Be right back.
Patriotic music in the bumper rotation all day long today.
And we do it in a balanced way.
For you leftists and Democrats, we give you the Soviet national anthem.
It's the Soviet national anthem, Snerdley.
Patriotic music all day long for the leftists and the Democrats in the audience.
Welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh serving humanity simply by showing up.
That reminds me of the The Hunt for Red October, the great, great movie out there made of the Tom Clancy book.
All right, we have an update from NECN, the uh the Boston Cable Channel.
They just reported that they have found most voters are leaning for Cokley in this tight race.
And they quoted one Brown voter and then several Cokley voters, several of whom said they voted for her to support Obama.
So they're working overtime at NECN electioneering, if you will, uh, to get out the vote, claiming it's close, and most voters are leaning for Cokley.
Would you like to hear some unabashed hate?
You know, we on the right are often impugned and maligned as being the arbiters of hate that our ideology, conservatism is nothing but hate.
I want to show you what passes for journalism today and real hate.
Yesterday on the Stephanie Miller radio show.
The MSNBC anchored David Schuster showed up to answer some questions.
Miller says, just when you think Rush Limbaugh might have some decency, he just doubles down.
I don't know if you heard the latest thing.
Not just the presidents using the politically uh this politically to look good with black people, but you know that he basically agreed with the caller that said, Oh, they're they're directing you to the White House website so we can steal money basically from the Haitian refugees.
Which is not what I said.
But anyway, here's what Schuster's reply was.
I said this before about uh Dick Cheney, um, that you sometimes wonder when somebody goes through some serious medical complications, as we all have had with relatives in our family.
Sometimes it changes them, and sometimes mental faculties are not there.
Unfortunately, that's part of life, and whether that explains, for example, some of the bizarre things Dick Cheney has said over the years and done, who knows.
And I just sort of wonder with Rush Limbaugh with the drug addiction that he had and some of the medical challenges he's had, and even his sort of latest stint in the hospital that maybe there was something that's happened to him medically that has caused him to lose his mind.
Because even more so than it was that he had lost it before, because this stuff is crazy.
Uh well, I can see that these people would think it's crazy based on what they think I said.
But you know what's fascinating about this is that these guys, they've been twenty years, fifteen, let's say, fifteen years of constantly taking me out of context, knowing full well that their sources of what I said do this, and yet they continue to do it, knowing full well that they're reporting things I didn't say.
The uh the next bite, Miller says Glenn Beck actually said that the president is dividing the country by reacting too quickly to the Haiti situation.
Well, you know, maybe I you know, God forbid uh, you know, Glenn Beck's house should ever collapse because of some disaster or burn up because of some fire.
If that's his attitude, then maybe the fire department ought to think twice about putting out the fire at his house, and it can be uh he can be on his own and see if his radio listeners want to come and you know whipped poses or something.
Because that I mean that's that is such a crazy stupid thing for people to say.
The problem is some Americans are so idiotic and they're being couraged by these morons and the media who play off their stupidity, and the ultimate kind of cynicism is just revolting.
So there's David Schuster on the radio yesterday, insulting talk radio audiences uh and me and Chaney.
Our medical problems have uh caused severe problems mentally, and we've uh lost our minds.
That's how they uh justify it.
Since they bring up Haiti, let's go to audio soundbite number four.
This is Harry Belafonte.
He was on a Tavis Smiley show.
PBS.
Tavis Smiley said, uh, what do you say to black people?
We've done what we've always wanted to do.
They use this language, Obama's elections of fulfillment of Dr. King's dream.
I think that's a little stretch of uh Dr. King's mission, and a little stretch of how you can define the conclusion.
I think that Barack Obama having become president of the United States is but a small test as to the fact that this nation is in a rather incremental way moving forward.
I think that it is much to America's credit that it could go to that place.
However, in the aftermath, I think there are millions who have come to the table to tell you they would wish he was dead rather than alive, doing some of the things that he is doing.
There's Harry Belafonte.
So we've got a hate fest going on.
The next bite is too long for me to play at this time, 45 seconds long, but he urges the left to put bodies in the street to oppose Obama's agenda and America's immoral journey.
Harry Belafonte, not a fan of Barack Obama.
I wonder if the drive-by media will question medical conditions he may have suffered and whether he's lost his mind as well.
And we're back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, and the time dwindling down here in the first hour.
Story from the uh Washington examiner uh Aristotle International Incorporated, a Washington, D.C. technology company, reports that there are 116,000 dead voters on the Massachusetts voter rolls.
116,000 who are dead.
The way to make this a non-issue is voter ID.
A photo ID required to vote.
That would clean up all of this mess at the poll.
