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

RUSH: Jennifer Rubin, is a blogger, I think, at the Washington Post. She was on… I didn\u2019t see it. I was told about it. Meet the Press on Sunday. She said that talk radio is the reason for all he anger in America. Yeah, talk radio is responsible for it. As though anger is somehow unwarranted and ugly and irrational and something that we need to find an explanation for, \u2019cause there\u2019s nothing to be mad about. Why would anybody be mad in America today, or yesterday, or last year? No. So this anger? It\u2019s really irrational.<\/p>\n

\"medium\"
\nAnd when the establishment wants to affix blame, they always seem to turn to talk radio. It\u2019s been that way for the 27 years I\u2019ve been doing this. “Angry white men.” I mean, cliche after cliche after cliche. It\u2019s always the fault of talk radio. And here\u2019s NBC News, and she was on Meet the Press, which is NBC show on Sunday. “Poll: Whites and Republicans Rank as Angriest Americans <\/a>— Nearly half of Americans are angry, and no groups are angrier than whites and Republicans, according to a new NBC News\/Survey Monkey\/Esquire online poll about outrage in the country.<\/p>\n

“Overall, 49% of Americans said they find themselves feeling angrier now about current events than they were one year ago. Whites are the angriest, with 54% saying they have grown more outraged over the past year. That\u2019s more than Latinos (43%) and African-Americans (33%). Seventy-three percent of whites said they get angry at least once per day…” Do you believe this? That\u2019s “compared with 66% of Hispanics and 56% of blacks.” So, “73% of whites said they get angry at least once per day,” obviously when they listen to talk radio, and 66% of Hispanics and 56% of blacks, they only get mad once a day.<\/p>\n


\nThere are far fewer of them. I guess that explains all the rioting and looting that white people are doing. Uh, wait. That isn\u2019t happening. How do you explain that? What\u2019s it say? “Seventy-three percent of whites said they get angry at least once per day compared with 66% of Hispanics and 56% of blacks.” Obviously that would explain all the rioting and looting. And then it hit me. The group here that\u2019s said to be the angriest isn\u2019t doing any of that. But they are listening to talk radio. “The poll also found Republicans are angrier than Democrats.<\/p>\n

“Sixty-one percent of Republicans say current events irk them more today than a year ago…” Let me tell you: Anecdotally, I don\u2019t know anybody angrier than any Democrat you run into, any leftist, any Democrat. I don\u2019t care where you find \u2019em — Twitter, Facebook, the movies, on the street, Walmart, I don\u2019t care — they\u2019re mad. They are livid, constantly. Not just once or twice a day. They get up mad; they go to bed madder. But beside all of that, note here that the attempt in the media is to cast anger as irrational, irresponsible, uncalled for.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very, very bad, and very, very wrong to be mean and angry. As though there\u2019s no justification. You know, if you ask me, everybody ought to be angry over what the left has done and is doing to the country. It makes perfect rational sense for people to be angry. Now, the political class and the establishment, they don\u2019t like anger because that means they know people are mad at them. And as far as the elites are concerned, there\u2019s no justification for people being mad at them. They\u2019re special people! They\u2019re the best and brightest among us.<\/p>\n

We all ought to love them. We all ought to appreciate them. We all ought to bow down and celebrate them. But instead, we\u2019re mad at them. And they don\u2019t like that. So they want to cast this anger as irrational and irresponsible. To me, it\u2019s entirely common sense. What decent American who can\u2019t find a job and hasn\u2019t been able to for I don\u2019t know how long isn\u2019t mad? People that have student loans? People that have Obamacare mandates and responsibilities? That\u2019s just scratching the surface. People are looking at the very identity and structure of their country being changed daily.<\/p>\n

The southern border is being overrun. What, are we just supposed to sit back and twiddle our thumbs over this? The anger is justified! But, of course, they try to discredit the anger and discard it on the basis, “Well, it\u2019s all because of talk radio.” See, once again you are too stupid to even be mad until somebody tells you to be. You don\u2019t have the mental acuity or ability to even get angry on your own. You have to wait for your local talk radio host to tell you to get mad, and then you do, and then they go on TV and blame talk radio for it.<\/p>\n

This is people supposedly “on our side” doing this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, this is another, I don\u2019t know, contradictory or conflicting or otherwise interesting factoid that the more he goes out, Obama, the more he goes out and starts talking about controlling guns and taking them out of the hands of people, or whatever he talks about, gun sales skyrocket on record levels. Now, he has to know this. So what really is the purpose?<\/p>\n

This is all political, folks. Do not for a moment doubt me. Do not for a moment fall for the fact that this is about safety and about preserving life and about stopping violence. It\u2019s not about that. Liberalism is responsible for so much violence. In fact, look at this anger business. Notice when white people are mad, oh, that\u2019s bad, and we\u2019re supposed to condemn it and blame talk radio. When anybody else is mad, Muslims, African-Americans, Hispanics, we\u2019re supposed to stop and understand the rage. We\u2019re supposed to study and learn from it. We\u2019re supposed to figure out why they\u2019re mad. And we are then told that the reasons they\u2019re mad, why, they make sense, they\u2019re justifiable. White people anger, constantly is unjust, it\u2019s illegitimate and must be condemned.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no reason whatsoever white people should ever be mad. And if you are, there\u2019s something wrong with you and we\u2019re gonna get to the bottom of it and probably find out you listen to talk radio. But when they\u2019re looting and rioting in Baltimore, St. Louis, stand back. When they\u2019re blowing up the World Trade Center we\u2019re supposed to stand back and understand the rage and ask ourselves what are we doing that makes them so mad. But not when white people get mad. When white people get mad we condemn talk radio, we condemn white people and so forth. Very, very inconsistent.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why this is all political, folks. You know, whenever you see white people are angry it\u2019s just a disguised assault on what the left thinks is still the majority of the country. They hate majorities. They despise majorities. Majorities in their world, by definition, are corrupt and racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic. That\u2019s exactly what a majority is, and that\u2019s why when Republicans are the majority it\u2019s never supposed to be treated as such, and that\u2019s why we start to hear about minority rule and minority power. And that\u2019s what this is. This is an attack on majority thinking. It\u2019s an attack on majority cultures, majority values, majority lifestyles. It\u2019s an attack on the basic structure of the country disguised as, “We really care about violence and care about changing, and we really, really want to stop as much violence.”<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not about that at all. Everything they do is political.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Jim in Granby, Connecticut. I hope I didn\u2019t steal your thunder here, Jim. But I want — even if I did, I\u2019m sorry; I want to get you on. Welcome to the program. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Correct. Mega dittos, Rush. Hey, actually it was a relief, and they\u2019ve got it totally reversed. You were giving statistics on anger by percentages by race, and you encapsulated my feelings perfectly. I am sick and tired of the only illegitimate frustration and anger be the frustration and anger of white people. If you\u2019re a minority, somehow we have to bend over backwards and understand your anger. There\u2019s some legitimacy to be found there. If you\u2019re a terrorist who shoots people up at Charlie Hebdo, we\u2019ve got the secretary of state bending over backwards to try to find some logical line to legitimize that anger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, that\u2019s a good call. He did not even have to bend over backwards. He just came out and frankly said it was rational. The shooting in Charlie Hebdo was rational, from the Muslim point of view.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He was trying to say that the murder of 126 people in Paris wasn\u2019t rational. That was random. But Charlie Hebdo? Ah, you can see why they did what they did there! It was the point that he was making. So that anger, murderous anger, is understandable on the part of militant Islam. Nope, you\u2019re exactly right. You are exactly right. We are supposed to be tolerant of all anger by any minority or anybody that claims to be a victim of anything. We understand their rage. We\u2019re supposed to study it and understand why they\u2019re mad and understand they\u2019re mad because of us. It\u2019s our fault. But when whites get mad, it\u2019s always illegitimate, never tolerated, always must be condemned. There\u2019s never any reason for it.<\/p>\n

And, of course, it\u2019s all the fault of talk radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
