Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yes, and greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, conversationalists on across the fruited play in Rush Limbaugh, a well-known potted plant.
Sitting here behind the EIB microphone, a golden EIB microphone, telephone number 800-282, 2882 if you don't want to be on the program.
And the email address, if you want to go that route, is uh Ilrushbaugh at EIB net.com.
Big signing today.
Financial reform signing, new era of responsibility.
You know, nothing epitomizes the Orwellian world of what.
Yes, Snerdley, I know that journalists at the journalist site wish me dead.
I mean, I would get to that in due course.
I've heard about I heard about five people today.
There's a there's a story at the Daily Caller, which is a Chatsworth Osborne Jr.'s website, is an update on a journalist, and there's some some woman that is a producer for a station that carries NPR programming, said she would gladly stand by and watch me die instead of uh rescue me if I was having a heart attack.
Um, yeah, um, she said uh I would laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out.
I if I I I never knew I had this much hate in me, but Limbaugh deserves to die, and I'd be happy to watch him die.
Now the headline of the story, liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News.
I had five people email this to me.
Can you believe they want to do this to Fox News?
And I said, What?
It's no big deal they want me to die.
What am I, a potted plant here?
Yeah, that's right, Rush.
Who cares about you?
Fox News, they want to shut down Fox News.
Who could believe journalists don't believe in the First Amendment?
I said, when do you think we have journalists?
There is no media.
This is the point.
Uh if if if we had a press, if there were a media, today it would be full of journalist gate.
It would be full of all the emails written by these journalists on this now teared down, torn down website.
But we don't have a press.
We don't have a media.
There is no media.
There is no journalism.
There really is no education.
All we have is a bunch of leftists who are disguised as teachers, professors, scholars, academics, reporters, anchors, judges, lawyers, senators, congressmen, representatives.
None of it's real.
They're incestuous, and there's a revolving door from all these people and to all their groups.
And they are interchangeable.
They go back and forth.
You work for a congressman, then you go work for the media.
Uh you stop working for the media, you go back and work for a congressman.
You come to spokesman for the vice president or whatever.
It's it's just it's an incestuous bunch of people.
It's all leftists, but none of it is real.
There is no media.
Now, again, we'll get to that here in just a second, but this this signing ceremony today, um, nothing epitomizes I don't think the Orwellian world of Washington, than the sight that just happened 20 minutes ago, of everyone applauding Chris Dodd and Barney Frank before today's financial reform signing.
If we cannot affix blame when it is so blatant, when it is so flagrant, then there will never be any chance of real responsibility in government.
Our leaders, quote unquote, now know that they can get away with anything.
Literally.
Here are the architects of the financial straits that we are in being awarded, being applauded, being allowed to write the reforms that they screwed up in the first place.
Who's gonna stop them?
There is no media.
There is no watchdog media, there's no media, period.
So who's who's gonna stop these people?
We have witnessed a series of crimes over the last year and a half, a looting spree that total now 3.7 trillion dollars in bailouts.
We have witnessed a looting spree that dwarfs anything in the history of the world.
Many of the top people who helped pull it off are applauded like heroes by the people who enable them to engage in the criminal behavior and get away with it in the first place.
It's just it's stunning to watch this.
Uh because you say, well, where's the accountability?
There is no accountability.
These people are not gonna hold themselves accountable.
They don't think they're doing anything wrong.
Uh There is no watchdog media speaking truth to power or whatever the whatever the phrase is.
The only people noticing here are the American people.
A year after President Obama's political honeymoon ended, his job approval rating has dropped to a negative 44% in the Quinnipia Act poll.
That's his worst net score ever.
American voters say by a narrow 39 to 36% margin that they would vote for an unnamed Republican rather than Obama.
The American people, by 39 to 36, say they would vote for an unnamed Republican running against Obama in 2012.
This, according to the Quinnipiac University poll that was released today.
And then there is this amazing story of Shirley Sherrod.
This is an amazing thing to watch.
And we've got some audio sound bites we're going to get to here in just a second on this, but if if it Shirley Sherrod was thrown under the bus by the Obama White House, and now they're back in the bus up and they're going to pick her back up and put her back in the bus, but she may not want to get back in the bus.
Because everybody's not so oh, wait a minute, the context of what happened here.
We we we we've we fired this woman, and we didn't have the full context.
We got to go back and get the full context.
Well, where was that during my Los Angeles Rams circumstances?
Eric Erickson pointed out on CNN last night, which it's a great point, and we'll get to that here in just a second.
But if we're gonna fire Shirley Sherrod on the basis of racism, then why the hell does Eric Holder still have a job?
If she was suspected of making decisions based on race in her capacity and the White House, they couldn't wait, and the NAA LCP, they couldn't wait to throw her under the bus.
And you know why?
Why, Snerdly?
Why did they why'd they throw under the bus?
That's right.
They they had to keep their own credibility up.
If they're gonna sit there and call a Tea Party a bunch of racists, if we're gonna call conservatives a bunch of racists, if they're encountered, if they're they're confronted with racism in their own ranks, they gotta get rid of it.
And so they didn't care.
They didn't care about Shirley Sherrod, they didn't care about the truth of her story, didn't care about the context.
All it took was that one little video and bam, she's gone.
Now all of a sudden they figured out the context.
Oh, but they want to back the bus up.
And they wanna they want to try to get back on the bus.
She was believed to have ignored a white farmer's rights under the law.
In fact, she said she learned something during all this.
She learned it what it really is is rich versus poor.
Uh and that she had sort of an epiphany during this whole process.
But if if if she was summarily canned without without any examination, simply because she was believed to have ignored a white farmer's rights under the law.
What about Eric Holder?
Eric Holder has ignored the voting and civil rights of white people in Philadelphia.
All because the perpetrators of the voter intimidation, a new Black Panther Party, were black.
There is a video, a videotaped history of blatant, hateful to the extreme racism by the perpetrator of the civil rights violations.
And there's a witness to the racism underlying the Department of Justice's decision not to prosecute the new Black Panthers.
A witness who recently worked at the DOJ, maybe more than one witness.
And yet there's Eric Holder still serving in his gig while the White House and the NAA LCP could not wait to throw Shirley Sherrod overboard.
And they raced as fast as they could.
Now the U.S. Department of Agriculture reconsidering agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsax said today that he's going to reconsider the department's decision to oust Shirley Sherrod.
Bill Sack issued a short statement early today after Shirley Sherrod said she was pressured to resign because of her comments that she didn't give a white farmer as much help as she could have 24 years ago, even though the white farmer's wife said she did.
Sherrod said her remarks, delivered in March at a local NAA LCP banquet in Georgia, were part of a larger story about learning from her mistakes and racial reconciliation, not racism.
And they were taken out of context by a blogger who posted only part of her speech.
Now I don't know.
I know Andrew Breitbart.
He doesn't purposely screw around with edits.
I don't know what he was given.
I don't know what he was had.
Maybe he was set up.
I have no idea what went on here.
But uh there was enough context for any fair person to gather what she was actually trying to say.
But Vilsack didn't care.
Vilsack didn't care to get the context, and the White House didn't care to get the context.
Vilsack's statement came after the NAA LCP posted the full video.
Now after the full video is posted, all of us everybody's backing up and they want to put her back on the bus.
So we have here the NAA LCP saved the day.
Obviously, Mr. Vilsack could not be bothered to watch the end of the original clip, nor for that matter could the NAA LCP.
All this was because the NAA LCP wants to go after Fox News, wants to go after the Tea Party, wants to go after everybody else on the basis that they are racist.
And it simply has gotten out ahead.
You know, folks, you know how all this could bring brought to a screeching halt?
There is a simple way all of this, and it's getting tawdry now.
It's becoming uh, if if not laughable.
It is beneath all of us that this kind of stuff is happening.
This is just genuinely beneath all of us.
And all it would take is for the President of the United States to go to the microphones and say, enough America, stop this.
All it would take is for the President of the United States to say, we must be better than this, that this this all of this talk about racism here and there is bringing this country down, it's dividing the country, it's tearing it apart.
The problem is he wants all that to happen.
So he won't do this.
And the very fact that the president of the United States does not take one step, does not make one move toward healing any of these divisions, is proof positive that he wants them.
That he profits from them.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
From CNN, the Democrats' agenda running out of gas as the midterms approach.
Lots of stuff in the snacks of stuff.
We're going to get to it, but let's get to the uh audio soundbite, shall we?
All of a sudden, the shameless, state-controlled, I don't even want to call them media.
I don't know what to call them.
But but there is no media.
I'm struggling here trying to make my point about this to people.
And I don't know that I'm succeeding.
But we don't have reporters.
There are not journalists.
There, there are not editors and all of this.
There's no there's no organization out there, and at least in what we consider the mainstream press that has as its objective, okay, there are things happening out there today.
We're going to go out and have people find out what they are and tell you and everybody else about them.
That's not what's happening.
There are people simply advancing their own agenda.
They're just a bunch of liberals, Democrats and leftists, and they're disguised.
Some of them are lawyers, some of them are judges, some of them are elected to office, some of them are legislative aides, some of them are congressional staff, some of them are scholars, teachers, professors.
Some call themselves reporters, some call themselves columnists, some call themselves anchors, but they're none of that.
Nothing in their world is real.
In this Daily Caller piece, in addition to hoping I die, in addition to salivating, fantasizing over watching me die...
You have a UCLA law professor, Jonathan Zasloff, who has a total of five degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Cambridge, agreeing that the government ought to shut down Fox News, that the FCC ought to yank their license.
Here's a guy teaching law who doesn't even know that Fox doesn't have a license.
The FCC does not regulate cable.
Individual radio and TV stations have licenses, but ABC, CBS, NBC do not have licenses.
They have owned and operated radio and TV stations, which do, and the FCC can pull those licenses, but the networks do not.
And there certainly is no regulation of cable.
I mean, that's why there's no language barrier, there's no porn barrier, you can do whatever you want to do on cable.
There's no, and here's a guy teaching law who agrees, and then there's this guy at the New Republic, John Judas, who um, interesting name, who once wrote the biography of William F. Buckley, who agrees, yeah, I think we need to we need to Shut Fox down.
Uh these aren't journalists.
And if we had real journalists, this would be the story of the day, not Shirley Sherrod.
Shirley Sherrod be number two.
But what we've what we've learned here is that there is no media.
So Kathleen Cookie here's giving me a bunch of sound bites today from the state-controlled media, certainly just uh suddenly discovering context in the Shirley Sherrod case.
We have a montage.
All of a sudden now they care about context.
They've up until now never cared about selective editing.
They didn't care that quotes I never said were made up and attributed to me to stop me from being part of an ownership group of the St. Louis Rams.
Only after they had sabotaged that did they, oh yeah, you didn't ever never set them, it's too bad.
Um but with Shirley Sherrod, we need the context on this.
So here's first the montage of these people who call themselves reporters or anchors or journalists or what have you.
Was she forced to quit her job for comments that were taken completely out of context?
Her actual comments were misrepresented.
You're going to hear the context tonight.
Comments that clearly have been taken largely out of context.
The excerpt of the tape you saw there was taken out of context.
The remarks were taken completely out of context.
What we've tried to do during this show is provide the context.
There's no context with that clip.
Miss Sherrod's completely out of context comments.
Took a story completely out of context and painted her to be a racist.
Nobody bothered to ask Ms. Sherrod the context of her remarks.
The comments were taken out of context.
We teach any rookie reporter if you're going to get a good story.
Firstly, you need to try and get context.
That's uh last is Gillian Ted.
I have no hood I do what she is.
We teach any rookie reporter if you're going to get a story.
First, you need to try and get context.
No, no, no, no.
Who are they trying to try to fool?
There are no reporters, and there are no rookie reporters, and there are no instructions, and there's no how to.
There are only flax for the ruling class.
So I think the correct way to refer to all these people, they're just flax.
The PR, the PR armor, whatever you, whatever you want to call it, the propaganda armor.
They're not media.
And I think it's important because you know, people say, when are we going to get fairness in the media?
We're never because there's no even the pretense of objectivity doesn't exist.
There's no there's no reforming these people.
That's like saying when are liberals gonna change their minds.
It isn't gonna happen.
So this morning here's a montage of correspondent Dan Harris report.
Uh I guess this guy's CNN.
Uh about conservative media.
The Shirley Sherrod episode is the latest in a string of viral video controversies driven by conservative media.
Controversies with one central theme racism against white people.
The new Black Panther Party controversy given wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News.
Sonia Sotomayor saying a wise Latina may have advantages over a white judge.
Rush Limbaugh has called liberal policies a form of reparations.
Of course, there have been plenty of controversies that paint conservatives as racist.
Senate candidate George Allen calling an Indian man this name.
And racist signs held aloft during Tea Party rallies.
A presidency held by many as post-racial has turned out to be anything but now you tell me.
This is this is a reporter in Dan Harris, and I don't know.
I really have no idea where Dan Harris works.
Should I know who Dan Harris works?
I don't know that I've ever heard of Dan Harris.
I'm just assuming CNN.
I never heard of him.
But there's there's no journalism in that.
Literally no journalist.
There's no reporting.
George Allen Makaka what's this?
They totally manufactured that.
There aren't any racist signs held aloft during tea parties.
And we were not the ones who said that the Obama presidency would be post-racial.
They were.
They're the ones had these hopes and dreams for all of these great things that would be happening.
This utopia, this panacea.
The Shirley Sherrod episodes, the latest in a string of vi the only reason the Shirley Sherrod episode happened.
Is because the so-called media, the ruling class flax, are out attempting with the NAACP, which is really not about the advancement of colored people.
The NAACP is about the advancement of leftist ideals agenda and its own racism.
And they're out there trying to tar and feather the Tea Party as racist.
So there are people that are going to respond and defend themselves against this.
That's what you do when somebody calls you racist.
Only we know he's not a journalist.
There's no journalism, there's no reporting, there's there's nothing of the sort in this.
Oh, he's Good Morning America.
Dan Harris works again.
Okay, fine.
Dan Harris works, no wonder.
I don't watch Good Morning America.
They ask me every week to be on Good Morning America.
Why would anybody go on any of these television shows from our side?
There's there's no reason.
There's no point in it.
Why go on and talk to a bunch of flax for the ruling class?
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, El Rush Ball behind the golden EIB microphone, Shirley Sherid says now that she realizes instead of race, our struggle in America is between the haves versus the have nots.
But that's perfectly all right.
I mean, that's exactly what Obamunism is.
Obammunism is the haves versus the have nots and the need for redistribution.
So no wonder they're going to reconsider throwing her off the bus and backing a bus up and getting her back on the bus.
She's not sure she wants to get back on the bus.
You know, and how how terrible it is that quote unquote conservatives are using their own words against the left.
Why, isn't that what Democrats are begging their foot soldiers to do?
Isn't that what they want their accountability project to be?
Remember when when uh when Reverend Wright's comments first came out, wasn't the uh the media the um first reaction to say, hey, hey, hey, you're taking his comments out of context.
I mean, he these are part of long sermons.
You can't just go grab a sentence here, a paragraph there.
You're taking Reverend Wright out of context.
Remember that?
Even though there were dozens of examples, they still said that they were just excerpts from years and years of sermons.
Of course, he was bound to say some things that were a little off-kilter for crying out loud.
The guy does sermons every Sunday for 20 years.
Now, for some reason they don't claim that anymore about Reverend Wright.
Maybe Reverend Wright's subsequent and often crazier remarks have shown that he actually meant what he said.
So they've sort of gone into hiding.
After all, he went to the National Press Club, he went to the NAACP, and he doubled down on his racism and his America hating.
So you couldn't say that he was being taken out of context, which, by the way, did not phase either the National Press Club or the NAACP when he went in with his hate America agenda, his G damn America, his America of KKK.
They didn't care about that at the NAACP.
They applauded it.
It's not, folks, the the it's not there's not a double standard uh here.
That that's not even the right way to look at this.
This is us versus them.
This is liberalism versus everybody else.
This is the American left versus America.
And they are marching daily with their agenda, and they have various groups that are interchangeable and incestuous, connected by Ralphing Dort, revolving doors advancing that agenda.
Some call themselves reporters, some call themselves preachers, some call themselves congressmen and senators and judges and lawyers or professors.
Some call themselves deans.
But they're all just leftists, and they're all just part of the ruling class, and they are all trying to advance up the ladder of the ruling class, which requires sameness.
It requires obedient sameness.
No individuality is accepted.
Merit-based accomplishment is irrelevant.
Merit-based achievement is irrelevant.
Let's continue with the audio soundbites.
Last night, Anderson Cooper, 140.
Here is David Gurgen.
David Rodumgergen, who represents ruling class conventional wisdom.
Anderson, this has ripped away the veil and shown us all that is wrong with politics today.
An ideologue injects poison into the internet.
Other people rush to judgment so they can on camera, and an administration gets stampeded and commits this travesty of justice.
What is needed now?
The NAACP has at least had the courage to come back and say we were wrong and apologize.
Now the administration needs to do the same thing.
The President tonight ought to order the agriculture department to reopen this case, give this woman a fair hearing, and if the facts are as they seem, reinstate her with an apology.
There you have it.
So it it it turns out that uh Andrew Breitbart single-handedly forced the NAACP and the White House to rush to judgment.
Andrew Breitbart's website, BigGovernment.com, single-handedly forced all of these people to uh to rush to judgment.
If the um NAACP could be so easily wrong about Shirley Sherrod, couldn't they also be wrong about the Tea Party?
And I hate to bring myself into this.
Uh but was the context during a sordid episode, the sordid media episode, when I was attempting to be a member of the ownership group of the St. Louis Rams, falsified, made up quotes, attributed to me, reported not just by obscure bloggers, but from the highest levels of the so-called media on down.
Even after it was established that those quotes were never uttered by me, that I have never said them, that they were made up, they continued to use them.
After the message or the the whole objective was accomplished, the sabotage was complete.
Did they you ever hear David Gurgen say, you know what?
Somebody really injected poison into this whole episode.
Other people rushed a judgment on camera, and and then the their Rams ownership group got stampeded in a dropping limbaugh commits this travesty of justice.
What's needed now is for the media to at least have the courage to come back and say we were wrong and apologize.
Was there any of that?
No.
And I didn't expect there to be.
Don't misunderstand.
We're simply illustrating here that there is no media, that we're just dealing with leftists.
We are dealing purely and simply with extreme leftist liberals and democrats.
Pure and simple.
That's how you have to understand it.
Yesterday afternoon, CNN's newsroom, the anchor Tony Harris talked to Shirley Sherrod.
He said, Why are you out?
Why am I out?
They asked me to resign.
And in fact, they harassed me as I was driving back to the state office from West Point, Georgia yesterday.
I had at least three calls telling me the White House wanted me to resign.
The last one asked me to pull over to the side of the road and do it.
Cheryl Cook, the deputy on the secretary, she said, Well, Shirley, they want you to pull over to the side of the road and do it.
And they didn't care about her.
They didn't care to find the context themselves.
All they wanted was to make sure that if there was somebody in their ranks that was blatantly being racist, they had to get rid of them so they could maintain their own so-called credibility when they were making false accusations of racism against others, such as the Tea Party.
So everybody's throwing around false accusations here.
The only time they're concerned when they're false and out of context is when it involves one of their own.
Here's F. Chuck Todd this morning on the Daily Rundown on MSNBC.
There are no winners in this story.
Only a very, very now sympathetic victim here in Ms. Sherrod.
I mean, it was an absurd story, but this is a story that is both a race story and a story about the media, but more importantly, a story about how conservative activists are using race to bait the media and bait the White House.
And what's amazing here is that the White House fell hook line and sinker.
Not a surprise that the media did.
Jeremiah Wright, Acorn, Van Jones, it all seems to have, and we're seeing a pattern here in the White House may have overreacted.
Wait, wait, what's the pattern, F. Chuck?
Well, what's the Jeremiah Wright's not racist?
He didn't say those things, F. Chuck.
Acorn's not a bunch of racists.
They didn't they didn't say and do what they did on those videos.
Van Jones is not a Marxist.
He hasn't said what we've all seen on video.
the pattern here is that conservative media is able to get rid of people who are clean and pure as the wind driven snow by simply calling them race.
What world are we living in?
This is an alternative universe unparalleled.
If Chuck Todd has just described how his side does it, if Chuck Todd has just described how he does it.
F. Chuck Todd has just described how his network gets rid of conservatives that they don't want anything to do with.
Look at the power all of a sudden they have assigned to us.
Look at how much power they've given.
Why we got rid of poor old Shirley Sherrod.
We got rid of Reverend Wright.
We got rid of Acorn.
We got rid of Van Jones.
Look at that.
And we did it by making up things about him.
See, we made up we use race.
We use race.
We, the people who are called racist for the past 75 years, day in and day out, not just racist, but racist, sexist, big and homophobes, all of a sudden?
Is there anything about what F. Chuck Todd just did that sounds like journalism?
Like reporting.
No, he's a flack for the ruling class.
And being a flack for the ruling class means never having to say you're sorry.
Apart from the racism and the rest of this nonsense, just look at how top government bureaucrats can't even handle something like this.
And we want to put people like Vilsack and Sherrod's immediate boss in charge of matters of life and death by putting him in charge of health care.
And look at how bumbling foolish these people are.
Maybe F. Chuck Todd has not seen the journalist story.
Maybe F. Chuck Todd does not know what his colleagues are saying and doing about silencing.
No, F. Chuck does because F. Chuck has said it himself.
F Chuck Todd himself has lamented that a whole bunch of people who are claiming to be reporters aren't.
F. Chuck Todd has wrung his hands till they're raw about how the business of journalism has been bastardized by people like Fox News of people who have not been trained in the business.
The journalists on journalist conspired to do what F. Chuck Todd claimed that the right wing does.
It's amazing to watch.
This morning on the Daily Rundown, I'm MSNBC.
F. Chuck Todd spoke with Syracuse University professor of television and pop culture, Robert Thompson, about the about Shirley Sherrod and the media.
And F. Chuck said, understand the White House and no doubt the NAACP, but let's remember the media culture, the climate that has been created over the last two years.
Does that not play a role?
Well, certainly it creates an environment which makes everybody want to respond immediately.
Since the uh coverage of the Kennedy assassination, where we went uh the media went on wall-to-wall coverage, no longer were we waiting to file a story or to air a story until everything had been corrected.
We were going live and just watching a story being collected.
So that's that's a property now of 24-hour media.
That doesn't mean that people, however, who have got important decisions to make should be letting the properties of 24-hour media dictate uh the fact that they throw diligence to the wind uh and respond to something like this.
It's just uh this is this is hard to digest.
It's hard to maintain straight face while listening to all this.
They have to go back to the JFK assassination, trying to figure out how such a great injustice was done here to uh Shirley Sharod on CNN last night they made the Shirley Sherrod story all about me.
Oh no, no, it's commercial break.
Be right back.
Do not go away, folks.
All right, the pattern here.
Here's the pattern.
The liberals who call themselves the media.
They're not journalists, they're just propagandists.
They are flax for the ruling class.
They're out there attacking conservatives.
But uh Chuck Todd, who appointed Van Jones?
I think his name was Barack Obama.
Chuck, who who embraced Jeremiah Wright and sat in his church for 20 years?
I think that was Barack Obama.
Who accused the Tea Party activists of being racists.
I think that was Barack Obama and the NAACP.
Who brings up this issue as the default issue every single time, particularly right before elections.
Is it not people like you, Chuck?
And your so-called media colleagues.
Remember that old line from an ad on TV?
I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV now.
We have journalists.
We have people pretending to be journalists on TV.
We have politicians pretending to care about voters.
We have judges pretending to understand the Constitution.
We have editors pretending to vet stories.
We have a president pretending to be a leader.
And we have what everybody thought as a great profession journalism, a great institution, a great tradition pretending to be fair and balanced.
And it's all fake.
None of it is real.
None of what they say is real, none of the context that they attach to it is real.
None of what they cover and the way they report it is real.
CNN makes the Shirley Sherid story about me last night, John King on CNN.
Among those weighing in with a statement that I think is going to be talked about a lot, is Rush Limbaugh.
The real thing you need to glean is that the Obama administration and the federal bureaucracy is full of incompetence like Shirley Sherrod.
And it's not going to be very long before you're going to be dealing with her for your health care.
And if you happen to be showing up to a black bureaucrat appointed by Obama, and you happen to be something other than black, you might have the same treatment regarding your health care that this poor white farmer got.
I mean, that's the bigger picture here is that I'll stand by the whole competence of this.
I didn't even play her videos yesterday.
I played the audio from her videos yesterday because I'm not one to jump on bandwagons.
But it does worry me that we've got incompetent bureaucrats throughout the federal bureaucracy who are going to be your daily interface when it comes to your banking, when it comes to buying your car, when it comes to getting a mortgage for your house, your student alone, or eventually your health care.
Roland Martin then responded again on CNN.
John I don't really give a damn what Rush Limbaugh thinks this is the same person who calls George Steinbrenner a cracker the day he died, so he is utterly irrelevant to me.
Yeah, this is what I mean.
I mean it's called George Steinbrenner a cracker.
Never mind the new Black Panther Party was out there reintroducing us to the term.
Eric Erickson of Red State, also a commentator, had this to say.
I think Roland, your your dismissal off-handedly of Rush Limbaugh goes back to this point.
Taking him irrespective of just a comedian.
He's entertaining acting.
Uh, people and the left saying oh, yeah, right.
Erickson continued because he was being talked over there.
You know, this is a difficult situation.
I'm actually reminded of the Rush Limbaugh situation when he tried to buy the St. Louis Rams, and for three days, actual reporters, journalists, uh, news anchors used quotes of his and sabotage the bid, and only after the bid was sabotaged, said, Oh, those quotes were made up.
Uh they were from the left after 20 years on the radio.
Uh this is a similar situation.
Eric Erickson of redstate.com, and it's uh it's a good point.
And uh Eric sent me a note last night when he got home.
He said his email was overflowing with hate for daring to point this out.
But he is uh exactly right.
Nobody made anything up here.
Nobody made there was supposedly a lack of context.
Now, Roland Martin.
Roland Martin was one of the major apologists for Reverend Wright.
Back during the whole Obama 2008 campaign.
Roland Martin was the guy who tried to claim that Wright was quoting a Bush Republican when he was talking about chickens coming home to roost.
Roland Martin is not even qualified enough to be a comedian, yet we can all laugh at him.
There's nothing entertaining about him.
He's just a flack.
He's just a parrot.
These people are obedient servants.
They are blessed with sameness, and they cannot stand individuality, and they cannot stand success.
Merit-based success.
Just can't stand it back after this.
Lots more coming up on the Rush Limbaugh program today.
And I can't wait to get to it.
Obama omits jobs killed or thwarted.
From Tally omits them.
This this really a great piece here by Caroline Baum from Bloomberg News on the utter fraud that is the Obama administration's reporting on jobs saved, jobs created, uh, all of economic activity.
Lots to do here today, folks.
