Media Obsession with Race Labels Stigmatizes Achievement

RUSH: This business -- what do we have out there? Hillary, the first woman who has a chance to be president. Obama, the first black who has a chance to be president. Bill Richardson, the first Hispanic who has a chance to be president. John Edwards, the first ambulance chasing lawyer who has a chance to be president, and Joe Biden, the first hair implantee who has a chance to be president. We got a lot of firsts out there, but these are not the firsts running for president.
I personally know...

Will Obama Stick It to the Boomers?

RUSH: Mr. Snerdley, the official program observer, asked me to answer the question: "Which Democrat would be the first to flame?" Not the second tier guys, but the Hillarys, the Obamas, the Edwardses. My instinctive reaction was it was going to be Obama because of the Clinton war room, and then I was thinking about it. You know, Obama, when you listen to him talk is out there saying things that are not baby boomer like, and I wouldn't be surprised -- in fact, there's a part of me that would relish...

Salon: Barack Obama Is Not Black

RUSH: I want to give you some excerpts from this piece at Salon.com by Deborah J. Dickerson: "Colorblind: Barack Obama would be the great black hope in the next presidential race -- if he were actually black." She starts by saying: "I am confident that I have held out longer than any other pundit to weigh in on both the phenomenon that is Barack Obama and the question of whether race will trump gender as America looks toward election 2008." It doesn't matter. The 2008 is the Guilt Election. ...

Obama Madrassa Story Raises Media Hackles

RUSH: "Insight, a magazine [last week] owned by the Washington Times, cited unnamed sources in saying that young Barack attended a madrassah, or Muslim religious school, in Indonesia. In his 1995 autobiography, Obama said his Indonesian stepfather had sent him to a 'predominantly Muslim school' in Jakarta, after two years in a Catholic school -- but Insight goes further in saying it was a madrassah and that Obama was raised as a Muslim."
We mentioned this on the program, I guess it was Thursday...

NY Times Lied About Unmarried Women

All right, do you remember that New York Times story of last week, which claimed that more women were now unmarried than were married in the country? It turns out that the Times interpreted the Census Bureau data entirely wrong -- and almost, it appears, purposefully so as to advance another far left-wing, extremist agenda, i.e., the redefinition of a family, the redefinition of traditional marriage and so forth and so on. Michael Medved has written about this, our good buddy from Seattle who...

And Robert Redford Wants an Apology From Us?

From Park City, Utah, this is where the Sundance Film Festival is taking place. Among the many exhibits: "'Zoo' is a documentary about what director Robinson Devor accurately characterizes as 'the last taboo, on the boundary of something comprehensible.' But remarkably, an elegant, eerily lyrical film has resulted." This is in the LA Times, by the way. "'Zoo,' premiering before a rapt audience Saturday night at Sundance, manages to be a poetic film about a forbidden subject, a perfect marriage...

Most People Have No Idea How Good They Can Be

RUSH: There's something else I want to say here about motivation and inspiration. Now, over the course of the many years of this busy broadcast -- we're now into our 19th year -- it's been a central theme. I grow weary of people telling people that they can't do this or that; they don't have a chance. These obstacles are against them or this system won't let you do that. "What do you mean, wanting to be a doctor? What do you mean? Who do you think you're kidding?" It's so easy to beat people down....

"When was the last time Hillary allowed reporters to actually ask her questions about anything they wanted to without trying to control the situation with her testicle lockbox? It hasn't happened. She just doesn't get tough questions."
"What must the feminists think -- Hillary running for president...

What is the Democrats' New Direction?

RUSH: Bill in Gallup, New Mexico, thanks for waiting. You're next, sir. Hello.
CALLER: It's an extreme honor to speak to you again, Rush.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: You're a great person. Everything you say is true, and you're the only one on God's earth that gets out and speaks out and tells the true colors of these liberals. You know, our Republican base, it's a crying shame that they don't have any guts. You can't be politically correct. I respect Trent Lott, but when they...

What about Sam Brownback?

RUSH: Jody, in Lake Orient, Michigan, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Hi. Hey, I'm so excited to talk to you. I'm making big points with my son in college. Hey, I've heard you talk about all the Republican candidates but I haven't heard you say a thing about Senator Brownback. What are your thoughts on him?
RUSH: Oh, you are right! I am sorry!
CALLER: Yeah!
RUSH: I forgot about Senator Brownback.
CALLER: Well, apparently so did everybody. Good Morning America...

American Idol & Soft People

RUSH: I'm getting just a little impatient. How many days is it now, four or five days in a row, we had a story: "Is American Idol too mean? Are the judges on American Idol too mean to the contests?" The contests know what they're getting into, and I would have to think most of these contestants know that they don't have a prayer or a wing. I don't want to sound cruel. What a nation of softies! Okay, you want to ask the question once, fine, but a five-day media examination of whether the judges...

Why Mrs. Clinton Is the Anointed One

RUSH: You've all heard my theory as to why she's the Anointed One. Let me run through it very briefly just because it has been confirmed right here in the UK Daily Mail. Here you've got this bright -- supposedly, now, supposedly bright -- up-and-coming star in her own right, Hillary Rodham from Chicago. She's got those big Coke bottle glasses; she doesn't care about her appearance because she is a serious woman -- and she goes to Yale; she goes to Wellesley and she's able to carve a career for...

Mrs. Clinton's "Conversation" Designed to Let Her Listen and Avoid Taking Questions

RUSH: Here is Mrs. Clinton on her website Saturday announcing what everybody knew.
HILLARY: You know, after six years of George Bush, it is time to renew the promise of America, our basic bargain: that no matter who you are or where you live, if you work hard and play by the rules, you can build a good life for yourself and your family.
RUSH: She doesn't believe that.
HILLARY: So let's talk. Let's chat. Let's start a dialogue about your ideas and mine --
RUSH: Yeah!
HILLARY:...

You Won't Hear Any Hillary Fear Here

RUSH: We'll start in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This is Randy. Thank you for waiting, sir. Your turn. Hello.
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. God bless you from the carcinogenic capital of the world.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: I just wanted to call and make an observation. I'm concerned about you. Before the election, the Democrats were running around looking like characters out of a George Romero novel. They were just like chickens with their heads cut off, terrified, and it...
