RUSH: All right.  Ann Althouse pointed this out — at least this is where I found this, where I saw it, Ann Althouse on her website, on her blog.  At 10:06 a.m. — and I guess this was yesterday — unrest in Milwaukee.  New York Times headline: “Unrest in Milwaukee After Police Fatally Shoot Unarmed Man.” <\/a><\/p>\n

Now, this is important because the shooter was not unarmed.  Not only was he armed, he had a record. There was a photo posted of him somewhere aiming a gun at the camera.  He looks unsavory.  There\u2019s no question.  He\u2019s got a long record.  He was not the innocent black victim that the New York Times and the media always try to set up in these events.  It was clear that they were attempting to set up another “hands up, don\u2019t shoot” type episode, this one in Milwaukee, which has been run by Democrats for I don\u2019t know how long. <\/line><\/p>\n

When\u2019s the last Republican mayor in Milwaukee, 1908?  I mean, Republicans haven\u2019t had a say-so in this town, in its culture, in it\u2019s dominant governance in decades.  So, anyway, this is how the New York Times story leads off: “The Milwaukee County sheriff requested the aid of the National Guard after a night of violence and fires, including the shooting of an armed man by an officer.”  They had it right in the body of the story.  But everybody knows the headline is the money part of any story because that\u2019s the first thing people see. <\/p>\n

“After police fatally shoot unarmed man.” So “unarmed” becomes the narrative, “unarmed” becomes the whole focus of the story, and it isn\u2019t true.  Then the next New York Times headline: “Governor Activates National Guard After Police Shooting<\/a>.  Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin called for the reinforcements following a night of violence that began hours after Milwaukee police officer fatally shot a fleeing armed man.”  So they got it right, but even “activates National Guard after police shooting.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve heard it or not, but Black Lives Matter plans to shut down Graceland this week.  Elvis Presley\u2019s home.  This is Graceland week, apparently.  In Memphis people show up, and the Coalition of Concerned Citizens — I think Black Lives Matter is almost approaching unionized gang status now.  They have imprimatur from the White House.  They have their leaders up there honored for the great work that they do, and they\u2019re rabble-rousers. And they\u2019re gonna go into an event that\u2019s always peaceful and try to cause trouble.  “The Coalition of Concerned Citizens, including Black Lives Matter protestors and other –” I was gonna say gangs, excuse me “– groups announce their plan to shut down Graceland. <\/p>\n

“Protest leaders say the mass demonstration is planned for 6:00pm Monday. They said they specifically chose Graceland because it is Elvis week and they know it will raise awareness. Leaders say they also chose Graceland because ‘it demonstrates one of Memphis\u2019s most common forms of financial inequality and because the site has ties to � the death of unarmed teen Darrius Stewart.\u2019 ‘We feel like we still haven\u2019t been answered,\u2019 said Frank Gottie, a community leader. ‘They\u2019re givin\u2019 us the runaround.'”<\/p>\n

Graceland has a lot to answer for.  Graceland? <\/p>\n

Recently in front of Graceland some Black Lives Matter protestors were detained from blocking traffic<\/a>.  At the time activists said they wanted their demands met by the city, which they admitted would take time.  Graceland\u2019s got nothing to do with anything here.  But they\u2019re showing up.  And they\u2019re gonna have all kinds of attention focused on \u2019em, sympathetic naturally. <\/p>\nI want to you grab audio sound bite number 16 again.  You wonder how attitudes are created and you wonder how mind-sets are created.  If you watch an event like this, okay, Milwaukee happens, you have a legitimate shooting, but in this climate and the New York Times paper of record first reports that the poor victim was again unarmed and we\u2019ve got a bunch of racist cops on the prowl, when that turned out to be exactly wrong.  Have you ever sat and asked yourself, “Why do these people think the way they think?  <\/line>What in the world are they so enraged about?”  I do, because they\u2019ve got Barack Obama in office for eight years.  He\u2019s had Hillary Clinton right next to the his side for eight years. <\/line>\n

Electing Barack Obama was supposed to stop all of this.  Electing Barack Obama was supposed to set us on the path to fixing all this, to solving all this, to promoting unity.  And those who felt like they\u2019d been taken for granted, taken advantage of, screwed and all that, they were gonna get theirs.  Obama was gonna turn the tables and Obama was gonna screw the screwers.  He was gonna make sure that the disadvantaged got theirs.  And of course the disadvantaged and the minorities, they\u2019re angrier than ever.  They\u2019re more upset than ever.  They\u2019re more violent than ever.  Well, not than ever.  The sixties had its share of violence.  But, I mean, in our modern era and these two or three generations alive today, to some it\u2019s precedent setting. <\/p>\n

If you want to know, I mean, somebody has to stoke this anger, somebody has to feed it, somebody has to lie to them.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got a note about a video.  “Milwaukee Rioters To Police: ‘We Want Blood…We Cannot Cohabitate with White People Anymore.'”<\/a>  Now, I can\u2019t watch this stuff during the program.  This is one of the problems.  I get this stuff submitted to me, and I can\u2019t watch it. I have to send it up… It\u2019s 17-minutes long.  So I just want to make you aware of this, because it dovetails with a story I have been saving since last week. <\/p>\n

Now, hang on.  I\u2019ll give you a pull quote here. At the 35-second mark of this 17-minute video, it\u2019s a… This video, by the way, has emerged, and this video appears to show the beginning of the Milwaukee riots.  This is as the rioters were initially threatening the cops who were trying to keep the peace during the afternoon, after everybody thought that once again, white cops had shot an unarmed black. It wasn\u2019t the case. It was an armed black fleeing the scene of a crime shot by an African-American cop.<\/p>\n
