Voter fraud.
This is happening in North Carolina right now with early voting.
Listen to this.
And it's it's it's from uh it's from Judicial Watch.
According to a letter from a lawyer for the state of North Carolina to the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People, the NAA LCP, according to a letter from a lawyer to the NAALCP, a speaker at a recent NAA LCP conference in North Carolina.
Now wait for this.
A speaker at a recent NAA LCP conference in North Carolina urged people in the audience to mislead the NAACP's own members into believing they don't have to register to vote in advance, and they do not need to vote at their assigned polling place.
A speaker at a recent NCA or NAACP conference in North Carolina urged people in the audience to go out and mislead African Americans into believing the Denver Republicans are always accused of this stuff.
The NAACP urged its members to go tell African Americans they don't have to register to vote in advance, and they do not need to vote at their assigned polling place.
Now, why are they doing this?
Well, the letter from a lawyer for the state of North Carolina to the NAACP alleges, they're doing this to create confusion and animosity during the upcoming elections in North Carolina and to use the evidence of that confusion in the ongoing litigation between the Department of Justice and North Carolina to show that North Carolina's election integrity laws are discriminatory.
Here's the upshot.
NAACP NAACP members are being told to go all over North Carolina and tell black people, hey, you don't need to register in advance.
You can register when you show up and go anywhere.
You don't have to go to an assigned place, so that when they get there and are refused the right to vote, they are then to raise hell.
Call the news media, which will be on call, waiting for the call, and raise holy hell about how North Carolina is discriminating against black voters by not letting them vote and not letting them register.
Nobody is ever supposed to know that this is a strategy.
Nobody is ever supposed to know that this is being done on purpose.
The desired result is a bunch of God-fearing American citizens, African Americans, show up to vote and are denied the right to vote because they haven't registered, and they may be showing up at the wrong place.
They raise holy hell, they start shouting discrimination.
This will fit in with an ongoing lawsuit that Eric Holder has against North Carolina for this kind of thing, discrimination, create mass chaos and confusion, and use blunt force intimidation to relent and let these people vote.
But more than that, it is to it is to impugn the result.
It is to call into question the result of the elections in North Carolina.
By saying, well, look at all these God-fearing black citizens who showed up and were denied the right to vote.
This racist state would not even let them vote.
And that's supposed to call into question the entire outcome throughout the state.
This Is a strategy.
It has been discovered again by a lawyer for the state of North Carolina.
He somehow found out about this, and he's written a letter to the NAALCP demanding answers.
Hey, what is it you guys are doing here?
This is all part of the early voting opportunity for confusion, disarray, and chaos.
NAACP leader calls for creating confusion during midterm election by deliberately misleading voters.
And by the way, the other aspect of this is when it comes out these people were misled, guess who's going to get blamed for doing it?
The Republicans.
And I this is a great example of where voter ID would not permit this to happen.
And voter ID is not yet the law in North Carolina.
They've been fighting it tooth and nail, just so they can continue this kind of thing.
Speaking of threats and intimidation.
From the Atlanta urinal constipation, a reader.
This is a story by Jim Galloway and Daniel Malloy in the Atlanta newspaper.
A reader has sent us this early voting turnout mailer sent out by the Georgia Democrat Party that focuses on the shooting of the gentle giant and subsequent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.
It contains an interesting line that concedes the problem of low interest among black voters.
From the early voting turnout mailer, we find if we want a better, safer future for our children, it's up to us to vote for change.
The choices may not always be perfect, but the cost of inaction is simply too great.
We caught up with the Democrat Party chairman, DuBose Porter, at an event in Milledgeville this evening.
He said the situation in Ferguson easily applies to Georgia.
He said again, it's about opportunity.
Are you going to be in situations more like that?
I mean, that's when you don't have people having the opportunity for jobs or to participate in their community and the opportunity to grow.
That's what we need to change in Georgia, because that's what you have.
You have situations, you have communities that can explode like Ferguson did because you've taken the opportunity away from people.
Why, this almost sounds like a threat.
DuBo's Porter said that the missive is in line with what Democrats are saying up and down the ticket.
From North Carolina's Fayetteville Observer, Churchgoer taken aback by political filers lynching imagery.
Dawn McNair said she was surprised on Sunday when her daughter pointed out the background on a political flyer, urging people to get out and vote.
The front of the flyer blares K. Hagen doesn't win.
Obama's impeachment will begin.
Vote in 2014.
That's the flyer that's being sent out to African Americans.
The words are superimposed over a grainy reproduction of a photograph of what appears to be a lynching.
My daughter said, Mom, look in the background.
They're lynching somebody.
It's this is a lynching of an African American man, McNair said.
So African American voters are getting a flyer that shows a black man being lynched.
And the headline on the flyer, K. Hagan doesn't win, Obama's impeachment will be in.
So that's supposed to create the impression that Obama's gonna get lynched.
If K. Hagen doesn't win.
Her daughter pointed it out.
A political flyer going around.
Now, do you remember?
We talked about the New York Times story on Monday about that internal Democrat memo warning about a Republican landslide in the midterms unless there's a huge black turnout.
Let me remind you, from the article, African Americans could help swing elections in Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and possibly Arkansas.
A New York Times analyst of voter data shows, but only if they turn out at higher than forecast rates.
Well, so let it be written, so let it be done below.
Here are the examples I just gave you of ginning up the turnout in Georgia using Ferguson, Missouri, and North Carolina using a lynching photograph from long ago.
And I'm sure it's happening in other states as well.
And it doesn't matter how incendiary or racist the Democrats have to get.
Their jobs are on the line.
And the media is going to be supportive and understanding of whatever they have to do.
This is just going to be called really smart politics.
This takes us back to Ferguson, Missouri, on CNN's newsroom today.
The anchor at Infobabe, Carol Costello was interviewing St. Louis, Missouri City Alderman Antonio French.
And during a discussion about the shooting of the gentle giant, Michael Brown, the infobabe, Carol Costello said, What do you make of the county's autopsy report?
Now we've reported to you on this already.
The autopsy, which has been known since August, but only today was revealed.
Blood was found on the officer's uniform, the gentle giants.
Blood was found inside the police vehicle.
The gentle giant actually entered the police car and attempted to get the weapon of the police officer.
This is now known.
The gentle giant was also using marijuana.
The gentle giant did not have his hands up, but he was not surrendering.
And he did run away, but then charged back to the police.
This is all known from the autopsy.
It's been known since August.
And because that's what it showed, they had to do two other autopsies, try to cover this up or try to find some other conflicting evidence.
So now we've got CNN with this alderman from St. Louis, Antonio French, and they're asking him what he thinks of this autopsy.
I think it describes uh uh an awful way to die.
Um and I think it also describes uh a situation, you know, where a young man who was unarmed was shot uh nine times.
What I'm alarmed by is that uh the way this is being tried in the public, and that information is being leaked out, uh, and we're not getting a clear picture of everything.
I think one of the things that we've asked for from the beginning is that the only way that this thing can happen in a way that actually gives the community what they're asking for is a public trial.
Yeah, there you have it.
I mentioned they want a trial, they want an indictment, or they're promising situation you don't want to live in.
And the only way of fairness is to have a public trial.
Uh we're not getting a clear picture.
Oh, yes, we are.
Finally, we are getting a clear picture.
It's just not the picture that the activists apparently want.
And then the info babe, Carol Costello, says, Well, based on what you just said to me, you have to wonder what if the grand jury does not indict.
What happens then, Mr. Alderman?
Well, I worry about our community.
We have to worry about the hours and days following an announcement that the grand jury would not uh indict.
But in the long term, uh, you know, our community has been really ripped apart.
Uh, and we've got a lot of healing to do.
Hmm.
Hmm.
See, public official here.
Well, I worry about our community.
Why?
What's gonna happen?
There's no indictment.
What what's gonna happen to the community?
So they want a public trial.
It's the only way for fairness to get a public trial.
If we don't get a public trial, we don't get an indictment.
Well, I worry about our community.
What does that mean?
Your guiding light.
Your servant of humanity and all of mankind.
Rush Limbaugh behind this.
A golden EIB microphone.
And we uh head back to the phone.
This is Joe in Kansas.
Thank you for waiting, sir.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh, it's a pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you very much.
It went in EOD Tech.
Um, I was in Afghanistan, never deployed to Iraq, but there's common knowledge I've known about the WMDs in there for about 10 years now.
And the reason the why is always explained to me is based on the enemies' tactics that they use is that they didn't want them to find out that we had them with our 24-7 hour news media, my space, Facebook, Twitter.
They would have found out, and it would have caused so much more havoc when they place them in IEDs.
That was the reason it was explained to me.
Why the WMD?
All right, I've I've I heard that, and I and I think if I'm not mistaken, Joe, thank you very much.
If I'm not mistaken, I think we even had somebody call and make this point.
What he's talking about is this uh Blockbuster story that the Daily Beast had, Eli Lake, that Carl Rove and the Bush White House made a political calculation to not in 2004 and 2005 the discovery of sarin and mustard gas, i.e.
chemical weapons created by Saddam Hussein back in the early nineties.
And many people reacted to that with some anger and shock, because that's of course one of the premises of the Gulf War.
And we went we did the whole thing over again.
Five years of incessant beating up the White House, the administration, the country, the military, I I still think we're feeling the effects of it to this day.
And so what Joe is saying, and then they made a calculated decision to not announce that they had found these weapons because they didn't want the uh terrorists, the insurgents in Iraq to know they existed.
That would have caused all kinds of problems as they tried to get their hands on them and then use them in IEDs and and other things.
I've I've heard that uh before, and I'm not sure how I how I feel about it.
I I does this mean that if we had found the WMDs we thought were there?
That Saddam was bragging about every Intel agency in the world thought we would find in 2003, 2004.
Were we not going to announce those if we found those because we didn't want the insurgents to know they were there and could get their hands on them?
It sounds kind of a it sounds kind of convenient to me.
But that's just me.
And I appreciate the call, Joe.
Thank you very much.
Mary Clinton Township, Michigan.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Good to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
I wanted to make a comment regarding when um pr I was kind of surprised when President Obama was speaking about interacting with the hospital staff and the Ebola problem.
Yeah.
He said at the time that he hugged and kissed the staff.
Not the doctors, just the nurses.
And I'm surprised, considering that, you know, poor Mick Mitt Romney was so vilified for saying he had books full of nerd of women that no one picked up that this was a little sexist and perhaps even a little homophobic, assuming that doctors are you know, men are only doctors and nurses are only women when the that's not true.
And he, you know, I didn't kiss any of the men, just the women.
Uh and you know, no one's no one's made fun of him for that.
Again, I'm missing what m making f w uh I'm confused totally.
What when did Obama kiss Ebola nurse?
Where Ebola.
Where he said he hugged and kissed the staff.
Not the doctors, just the women.
Where did this happen?
In the in the hospitals, when he spoke about hugging the d hugging the hospital staff.
I know which hospital, do you know?
No, I don't know which hospital.
He said that was uh it was on TV.
I mean, you know, it was well that's why I missed it.
I don't watch TV news anymore.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it was on TV, you know, it was uh clip, you know, and he spoke about that, saying that he hugged and kissed the staff, j not the doctors, just the nurses.
I thought that's the one.
Maybe he means the many women who are doctors and lots of men who are nurses.
Maybe he means the doctors and maybe he meant to include them uh in in the state.
No, he said not the doctors, that he didn't kiss the doctors.
Well, then he was just trying to make people think he wasn't spreading the disease or contracting it.
I don't know.
You think this is sexist or homophobic on his part?
A little bit.
I mean, perhaps his true feelings were showing in there.
His true feelings.
I think the guy's a horn dog.
Did you see this?
Uh did you?
What is why you react?
Do you not know what happened at the early voting in Chicago?
He kissed the woman.
Here's the second half of that story.
He's in Chicago, he's early voting, and there's a woman next to him in A or something, and her boyfriend's there.
And he walks in.
People are starting to think now that this may have been a whole scripted scenario.
There are some people speculating that if it was scripted, it's even doubly bad.
What happened was Obama goes in, he's early voting, he's standing alone in the booth, and there's a woman next to him and her boyfriend's offset aside.
And the boyfriend out of nowhere says, Don't touch my girlfriend, Mr. President.
This is a day after Tina Brown has said he scares women.
Makes him feel unsafe.
So Obama, after he's talking under his breath to the woman, and the woman is laughing, and he says, you know what?
And and he he he puts his arm around and he says, kiss me.
Kiss me, let's show him what's up, or something like that.
And they kissed.
The president kissed this guy's wife and then walked off the scene looking all cocky and everything.
And some people think this whole thing was scripted, but there's another question about this.
Okay, I found out what the uh caller was talking about.
Obama was at the CDC in Atlanta.
He went in there, and he uh little press availability, and he said, I shook hands with, I hugged, and I kissed not the doctors, but a couple of nurses at Emory because of the valley, work they did.
And what she thought was that since he made a big deal out of not kissing the doctors that he wanted to make everybody aware that he wasn't gay.
And her point was, what's wrong with being gay?
Well, he is married, but if he was gay, that would be a problem.
So he's going out of his way to say he's not gay.
That's what that's her interpretation.
Uh but the exact quote is I shook hands with, I hugged and kissed, not the doctors, but a couple of the nurses at Emory because of it.
Well, no doctors have got sick, only the nurses have.
So if he thought he was trying to engage in safety, uh there's also a take it, maybe he was trying to say, hey, it's okay to nuzzle and and uh kiss and uh embrace people that have treated Ebola patients, it's not a problem.
The thing that interests me is this incident that happened in early voting in Chicago.
I have watched this video.
You get the president there, he's voting, and a black woman named A and her boyfriend Mike, and Mike is the guy when the president shows up to vote, he's voting between the two.
There's an empty spot between them, and he sidles in there and starts voting.
And while he's voting, he's talking to her.
And while he's talking to her, this woman's boyfriend says, Don't don't, was it don't touch, don't touch my girlfriend, Mr. President, which is the strangest thing in the world to say.
Of all the things you can say, the don't touch my girlfriend.
What what what's Obama's reputation at Chicago that we don't know about?
Why would the guy say that?
So the guy's girlfriend starts getting all embarrassed, and she bows her head and starts laughing and says, I knew he was gonna embarrass don't pay any attention to it, Mr. President.
I knew he was gonna say something embarrassing.
And while Obama not looking at her, he's then he's supposedly filling out his valets and what's his name.
And uh she says, Mike, and Obama says, Boy, you know, a brother would do anything to embarrass me, to think that a brother would do anything like that to embarrass me.
And she just laughs and chuckles.
I knew I knew, and now he's gonna be really jealous, Mr. President, you're talking to me.
And then when Obama finishes voting, he leaves his, he walks over and without giving Her a choice.
He puts his arm around her and says, You're gonna give me a kiss and a hug, and we're going to make him really jealous and give him something to really talk about.
And the woman is, you know, giddy and and chuckling and so forth, and she hugs Obama and he gives her a peck on the cheek and walks out looking like Bill Clinton, Coxman A. And Bill Clinton, Coxman A. And it's looking like here that there's some people looking at the videos saying, Wonder if this thing is scripted.
But like Ann Althouse on her blog said, wait a second.
I I I thought men weren't supposed to.
You know, you had to get consent to do this now on every college campus.
You can't just kiss a woman without her permission, and you can't approach her and put your arm around her without her permission, without her consent.
Obama just forced his way on that woman.
And she looked like she wanted it, by the way.
She looked like she didn't mind honored to be given a hug and a smooch by the president, Coxman A. So that happens, and everybody's laughing, and then Obama walks out around her, and he's he really he's looking like he's pulled off some major score here.
Talks about this guy being why would a brother want to embarrass me like this and so forth.
So people are wondering if the whole thing was scripted since it followed by one day.
Tina Brown saying that Obama makes women feel unsafe.
Clearly, this woman was not feeling unsafe.
She's laughing.
She was just she was uh she's all excited, but it's very clear that she did not sign a consent form before he embraced her.
Well, it wasn't embracing with his arm around her shoulder, but there was no consent form.
She didn't sign a consent form before he embraced her and and and kissed her.
And that's illegal in many places in America now, college camp I. Just did it.
Okay, we gotta yeah, head back to the phones.
L. Rushbow executing assigned host duties flawlessly at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and this is Mike in Winston, Salem, North Carolina.
I'm glad you called.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hey, thank you for taking my call.
I've been calling you for six years.
Uh the uh the reason I was calling today is I I believe the Republicans may be missing on an issue or two.
And uh in North Carolina, I've been volunteering all the phones every day, calling people, seeing why people are voting, if they're gonna vote, and uh the two most important issues seem to be the Republicans are the social issues.
Uh, you know, the the Republicans that I talk to say, hey, I don't I don't like the fact that men are gonna be able to marry men and women are gonna be able to marry women.
I don't like the fact that uh Kagan supports abortion, and uh you know it's it's it's really surprising because if you turn on the news, uh you seem to think the Republicans need to run away from these issues because voters don't care about them.
So uh, you know, I I I I guess it's it's really surprising.
Well, let me let me tell you something.
Mike, here's the thing about this.
Like I said, I've been hearing about this uh from well, the first time we're at Hampton's cocktail party or dinner party, I've told you about it this rich financial industry Republican donor comes up to me on the deck after dinner and pokes me in the chest.
What are you gonna do about the Christians?
You know, and I'm still new at all this.
And I am just meeting these people for the first time, and I'm learning they're not who I've always thought they were.
They're not conservatives.
They're republic, they're not conservatives.
And this guy's poking me, what are you gonna do about the Christians?
And I said, What do you mean, what am I gonna do?
They're killing us.
The this this abortion, my wife won't leave me alone about it.
We don't want to go to the convention with these people, they embarrass us.
So, wow.
And I I said, Well, you know, there's 24 million, you're not gonna win anything without him.
And then he lightened up and started laughing.
Hey, man, I'm just kidding, you I'm just I'm just teasing you.
But he wasn't.
And the reason this has come up is because Mark Cuban, who owns a Dallas Mavericks, was on CNBC today, and he said, as though he's the first to ever come up with it, I think the Republican Party needs to just jettison these social issues.
If you do that, the only thing on the table is gonna be business and economics.
And And that we can win big on that.
But this business or they can win.
I don't think he's one of them.
He said they can win.
I don't know if he's a Republican or not.
But but anyway, it's just it's you can count on this business of social issues killing the Republican Party.
A lot of Republicans think so.
But the social issues to most people when they use the term they're really talking about abortion.
But I think even now it's gay marriage.
I'll tell you what's happening, because I've seen this happen too.
A lot of millennials, the people in the 18 to 30 year old age group, something uh has happened, and they are almost 100%.
I mean, if not, it's really close.
Totally supportive of gay marriage, gay rights, lesbian marriage.
I mean, they are.
It's just it's it's period.
It's it's uh I I don't I don't know what's happened that explains it.
I just know they are.
I mean, it's big.
It's it's it's in their top three things that matters to them.
So it now it's not it's not just abortion, but it's it's gay rights, gay marriage, and I think it has to do with love, and who are we to say that people shouldn't, you know, what's what's wrong with who you love?
That's we need more love in the world, and da-da-da-da-da, and equal rights and so forth.
And uh I just I just the cultural rot that's taking place uh is because of a watering down of the whole notion of right and wrong and morality and so forth.
And the Republican Party's always been seen, that's what this caller is saying.
The Republican Party's always been seen as the stop.
You know, it's a stopgap, the last best hope, what have you.
Uh I have no idea what uh real manifestation of this is gonna end up being.
It's just to me, it's just the latest in a long line of people who are suggesting it.
But I I do know this.
If the Republican Party does something in the wrong way, they're gonna force 24 million people to sit home, not four.
And they're never gonna win a thing.
You can black vote, female vote all you want, but they're never gonna win Diddley Squat.
I mean, they already lost four million voters in 2012 from 2008.
Four million who voted for McCain didn't vote for Romney.
Up for grabs as to why, bunch of different theories.
But if that four million becomes 510, 15, 24 million, you can write off whatever else the Democrats do, it isn't gonna matter.
And I think that just really irritates that fact.
A lot of moderate or liberal Republicans who wish it weren't the case.
No, I didn't.
I didn't get to the immigration still, but I mentioned it a couple days ago.
I just was gonna add to it today, but it'll hold until tomorrow.
It's gonna be just as bad then as it is today.
Don't sweat it.
