IssuesLimbaugh: Obama's nomination "goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy"
On the
August 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh said
that "it is striking how unqualified [Sen. Barack] Obama is and, and how
this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat [sic] Party. I think it really goes back
to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black
guy." Limbaugh went on to say: "I think this is a classic
illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against
them. It's the reverse of it. They've, they've ended up
nominating and placing at the top of their ticket somebody who's not
qualified, who has not earned it." Limbaugh added: "It's
perfect affirmative action. And because of all this guilt and the historic
nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, well, wait a minute, do we really
want to do this?"
From
the August 19 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
CALLER: But here I --
I'm actually idling. I've got the air on full-blast so I'm
gonna', I'm going to take my time. But -- she says to say,
"Hi." But here,
here's the thing, Rush. I'm thinking -- coming from Chicago, you
know, where we -- we're just inundated with Barack and his ideas, I do
believe that on some level the liberals understand the free market because
whenever racism is becoming scarce, they do not hesitate to drill for more.
LIMBAUGH: No, they
understand it. They just oppose it.
CALLER: OK. But they
want it when it benefits them.
LIMBAUGH: Exactly right.
CALLER: OK.
LIMBAUGH: So when, when
a precious resource like racism becomes scarce --
CALLER: Exactly.
LIMBAUGH: -- they will
go out and drill for new sources.
CALLER: OK.
LIMBAUGH: You're
exactly right. They understand the principle. They want it for themselves, just
not anybody else. Liberals can have two sets of rules: One for the elites, the
arrogants and the condescending elites, and the other set of rules for
everybody else.
CALLER: Uh-hmm.
LIMBAUGH: They will
exempt themselves from the limiting rules they place on everybody else.
CALLER: Yes. And you hit
it right on with Barack. It -- they keep talking about all these reasons: Why
is it the poll's so close? What's going on?
And it reminds me of
that, that scene in Caddyshack --
I don't know if you're familiar with where Chevy Chase is trying to
teach Bill Murray how to golf and he's kind of saying,
"You're not, you're not ..." And he's
standing behind him and he's trying to -- and he says,
"You're not good."
You know, it just
reminds me of that. He's just not good.
LIMBAUGH: What did, what
did he say? You're not what?
CALLER: He -- Chevy Chase --
LIMBAUGH: Oh.
"You're not good. You're not good."
CALLER: Yeah, he's
tryin' to say, you know, you're not leaning, you're not doing
-- you're not, you're not good."
You know, so it just
reminds me of that. You know, he's just not cut out for the job. So --
LIMBAUGH: No, he's
not. He's -- it's -- to me, it is striking how unqualified Obama is
and how this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat Party. I think it
really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to
a black guy. They just -- they were -- liberal policies are always going to end
up strangling liberals, too.
And I think, I think
this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its
ugly head against them. It's the reverse of it. They've,
they've ended up nominating and placing at the top of their ticket
somebody who's not qualified, who has not earned it.
It's perfect
affirmative action. And because of all this guilt and the historic nature of
things, nobody had the guts to say, well, wait a minute, do we really want to
do this?
So they do it and then
they start behaving in manners and ways that let us know that they know that
they've goofed up with the choice. Actually, it's been somewhat
fascinating to watch.

Why do towns install speeding cams? Is it because robotic, inflexible, perfect enforcement of every single infraction of the speed-limit makes the streets safer? Or because they can raise $250,000 a month in fines for small town budgets? In Chevy Chase, for example, where speeding tickets brought in about $8,000 monthly before cop cams, "We are routinely bringing in approximately a quarter-million dollars per month," Geoffrey Biddle, Chevy Chase's village manager, told his Board of Managers in February. For a community of 2,000 with an annual budget of $4.6 million, that's a bonanza. What's more, because locals know enough to evade the cop cams, the village's new revenue mostly comes from outsiders, rather like a commuter tax. Nor are Chevy Chase's big gains unique. Washington's dozen cop cams have taken in more than $200 million since 2001. Scottsdale's six freeway cameras took in $17 million in 2006. Cop cameras don't just catch speeders, they raise cash (Thanks, Marilyn!...
