\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve got a story here in the Stack<\/a> about Hollywood leftists, led by Ed Asner and Mike Farrell. Now, they\u2019re a couple of relics, but they are the leaders of the anti-war movement in Hollywood, and they\u2019re still influencing young actors and actresses, and they are admitting they don\u2019t like this at all. They don\u2019t like this Syria business. They don\u2019t like what\u2019s going on in Libya. They don\u2019t like Obama\u2019s foreign policy at all.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But they will not go public with it, and Asner admitted why. They don\u2019t want to be seen as “anti-black.” Bingo again. It\u2019s the same reason the Republicans are not standing up and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be seen as anti-black, and so opposing Obama is not seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived as being against black people. Because of the nature of this nation\u2019s past in terms of slavery, whenever a black person reaches a position of power we\u2019ve got to relax all the standards.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because of the soft bigotry of low expectation, because of all the sympathy, because we feel so bad for what happened that they can\u2019t do anything wrong. We\u2019re not gonna permit that. It would just be so unfair. It\u2019d be so unfair, the first black president to get there and be subject to criticism? It\u2019s not fair! It\u2019s not fair! We got a long way to go before we level the playing field on what happened in the days of slavery.<\/p>\n

So even the most virulent anti-war protesters in Hollywood are afraid to speak up, because even more important to them than their anti-war position is their position on race — and don\u2019t doubt that for a minute. The civil rights movement is why Hollywood is liberal. Eighty percent of it, minimum. Maybe 90%. D not doubt me. The civil rights movement, the marches in the sixties, all of that is exactly why Hollywood\u2019s liberal on everything else. <\/p>\n

When you throw in the first African-American president, you shut \u2019em up on anything else that they disagreed with. Not even Ed Asner and Mike Farrell or anybody else out there wants to even get close to being thought of as anti-black. That\u2019s more important to them than anything else. They could sit by and watch Obama launch a massive attack and not say anything, because to be critical of it is to be anti-black. That\u2019s practically a quote from Asner himself, and he wasn\u2019t just talking about himself. <\/p>\n

His full quote is, “A lot of people don\u2019t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama.” That\u2019s the Republican Party as well, and that\u2019s inside the Beltway formula. They\u2019re just not gonna analyze this honestly, even if they know what it is. They\u2019re just not gonna go there, folks. Nobody\u2019s got the guts. Everybody is afraid of being called anti-black — and make no mistake: The Democrats and Obama and his advisers know it.<\/p>\n

They love it, and they use it. <\/p>\n

I would, too, if I were them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
