Instead Barack Obama\u2019s the most racial president, folks. I went through the audio sound bites here, and 95% of them are about race. Ninety-five percent of the audio sound bites are about race to one degree or another, and I predicted this would be the case. Greetings, great to have you here, behind the proverbial Golden EIB Microphone. Our telephone number as always, 800-282-2882. The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"img_\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I never forget this, before the election, during the campaign, 2008, &#8216;Rush, Rush, don\u2019t you think the election of Obama will put race behind us as a nation?\u2019 &#8216;Nope, it\u2019s only going to make it worse,\u2019 I said. And it is. Now we\u2019ve got Shirley Sherrod essentially saying Obama\u2019s not down for the struggle. She wants to talk to him. She wants to talk to Obama because he hasn\u2019t gone through things like she went through, meaning he\u2019s not down for the struggle, he doesn\u2019t have slave blood. That\u2019s how you translate that. This is getting ridiculous. It\u2019s embarrassing, and it is tearing the country apart. And everybody thought it was going to end, everybody thought we were going to have this new unity here, and you can\u2019t get past the issue, you simply can\u2019t get past it. And of course it\u2019s the left that keeps bringing it up.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Charles Krauthammer had a great point yesterday on the Special Report with Bret Baier, and that is the country had an argument over the size of government, and the people that wanted big government lost, so now they go back to the race card, which is what they always do when they\u2019re in trouble. They\u2019re cheapening the whole notion of race and racial differences, and they\u2019re creating a ho-hum reaction in a lot of people about it. The people\u2019s reactions is not ho-hum, is not the kind of reaction the left wants unless they are purposely trying to keep the country roiled, which they are. We\u2019ll get to all that, but, you know, most racial presidency we have. Not postracial.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s really all you need to know. It turns out that Andrew Breitbart was exactly right. This woman did not have an epiphany when she was at the USDA. When she was speaking to the NAACP she did not have an epiphany about, &#8216;You know what? It isn\u2019t about race, it\u2019s about rich versus poor.\u2019 If you listen to the whole speech as people have, 43 minutes, she\u2019s racist. The NAACP is racist. And this whole story has been manipulated, wined and dined, formed and flaked in order present the usual template that it\u2019s us, that it\u2019s conservatives who are racist.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"img_\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.90644.ImageFile.jpg\"\/><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The NAACP has released the entire video of Shirley Sherrod. That\u2019s what\u2019s happened, they\u2019ve released it. Everybody\u2019s jumping on Andrew Breitbart because he only played an edited version and the edit was such that the whole video was taken out of context. Well, go listen to the whole thing now. The NAACP has asked everybody to listen to the whole video so go do it, and play parts of it where this woman, Ms. Sherrod, is revealed accusing Republicans and conservatives who oppose government-run health care of doing so because the president\u2019s black or some such nonsense. You ought to watch the entire video. It\u2019s 40 some odd minutes. I can\u2019t listen to it. It\u2019s got so much reverb in it I need to have a closed-caption to be able to read the whole thing or read a transcript of it, but parts of which I have read transcripts of it\u2019s clear, this woman did not have any epiphany about learning that it\u2019s not about race, it\u2019s about haves versus have-nots, and even if it is about haves or have-nots isn\u2019t that part of the Democrat redistributionist agenda anyway?<\/p>\n<p>She has some children. One of her kids is named Russia, as in R-u-s-s-i-a.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It is perfectly obvious to me, and when you hear the sound bites coming up as we continue to explore the Shirley Sherrod case as it were, that all these people who have been clamoring for a colorblind society do not in any way want one. They live off race. They thrive on it. The people demanding an end to racism are the last people that want an end to racism. They don\u2019t want a colorblind society and you\u2019ll hear what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So we\u2019re supposed to have a postracial president.
