RUSH: Here\u2019s Maxine Waters, this was yesterday. She was on the fledgling Bill Press radio show, and Press said, ‘Do you agree with President Carter that all the criticism our great president is rooted in racism?\u2019<\/p>\n

WATERS: What I\u2019ve been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody is referring to, the people on the mall, in the rally, what\u2019s on their minds. I\u2019m looking for the very people who carried the signs. I want those people talked to. I want them interviewed. I want journalists to be all over those rallies and those marches of the birthers and the teabaggers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I actually think this is a great idea. I think it\u2019s absolutely a great idea. She went on to say if you put the microphones in front of them, if you do the interviews they\u2019ll tell you what they believe, what they think. It\u2019s a great idea, Maxine. Let conservatives tell the State-Controlled Media what they think, and why. Actually go out and cover the rally, don\u2019t just rely on a C-SPAN camera. Actually go out there and cover the rallies and talk to these people, find out what it is they\u2019re doing there and why. And then everybody will be shocked when they hear no explanation that contains racism. Actually got a little worried there when I actually agreed with what Maxine Waters is saying here, although for different reasons. Speaking of Maxine Waters, this is from Los Angeles Times. ”House ethics panel investigates Rep. Maxine Waters\u2019 — The Los Angeles congresswoman faces scrutiny over her husband\u2019s ties to a bank that received federal bailout funds. Word of the investigation came as the committee announced that it was delaying an inquiry into whether Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) or his representatives tried to secure the Senate seat vacated by President Obama by promising to raise campaign cash for disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich. The panel cited an ongoing federal investigation in Chicago.\u2019<\/line> <\/line>So Maxine sent some stimulus money to her husband in a bank and the House ethics panel is investigating. How racist is this? Targeting Jesse Jackson Jr, now targeting Maxine Waters, it\u2019s just gotta be racist. I mean who in Washington doesn\u2019t use stimulus money to send to their spouse? Dianne Feinstein did it. Didn\u2019t look at her. She\u2019s Jewish and she\u2019s white. Of course they\u2019re not going to investigate her, but they\u2019re investigating the black babe, Maxine Waters? Has to be racism. You know, I met Maxine Waters once. Yes, I did. It was Super Bowl Sunday, 1995 I believe, it was in Atlanta and it was the game between the Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. It was actually the night before. I think it was the commissioner\u2019s party. I\u2019m trolling around there and I\u2019m saying hello to some people that I knew and I got this tap on the back and I turned around, it\u2019s Maxine Waters and her husband Sidney who got the bank cash from stimulus money. And Maxine looks at me and says, ‘You know, I\u2019m not a socialist, I believe in free markets.\u2019 She started telling me about the businesses that she and her husband own and all this sort of stuff. (laughing) At the Super Bowl this happens to me? I don\u2019t remember the exact conversation, but she made a big point out of saying she wasn\u2019t socialist, she believed in profit and all that, and obviously her husband does, too. Profit, from your tax dollars. Maxine Waters. <\/line><\/p>\n

Sidney used to play for either the Oakland Raiders or the Steelers. I\u2019m not sure. His name is not Waters. I don\u2019t remember Sidney\u2019s last name, Maxine Waters\u2019 husband. But, yeah, something in my mind says he did have a rogue auto dealership somewhere in Jamaica or in the Bahamas or some such thing that got attention for some reason, obviously it was racist, the attention focused on it. ‘Waters was in the spotlight earlier this year because Massachusetts-based OneUnited Bank received $12 million in bailout funds, three months after the congresswoman, a senior member of the congressional committee that oversees banking, helped arrange a meeting between officials of the bank and other minority-owned financial institutions and Treasury Department representatives.\u2019 <\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget wasn\u2019t there some other stimulus package some years ago, I forget what it was, maybe the Mexican bailout or something. What was it? Oh, that\u2019s right! It was the floods in North Dakota, we had federal bailout money for the floods in North Dakota, and Maxine Waters went to the floor of the House and said, well, hell, if you\u2019re going to bail them out, I want money for my constituents in South Central. What it turned out to be, grooming money, 300 bucks a person, right, that she was able to pass out, 300 bucks. You want to talk corruption — but — sorry, it\u2019s not corruption. To point out any of this to Maxine Waters is racist. I\u2019m sorry. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, Maxine Waters\u2019 husband, Sidney Williams, was a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also played on the Cleveland Browns championship team in 1964. Also, after he left football he started as a business developer with ex-Cleveland Brown star Jim Brown\u2019s Black Economic Union in LA. And now Sidney Williams owns a Mercedes dealership, and obviously has an interest in a bank that his wife sent stimulus money to. He was also ambassador to the Bahamas under Clinton. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
