They are suppressing stories on Benghazi.  They\u2019re suppressing stories on his incompetence, the fact he\u2019s in over his head, he\u2019s unqualified, doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing.  They will not allow any such stories.  They will not report them.  They\u2019ll do their best to suppress them.  And the reason is &#8212; and here we\u2019re back to ideology again, and I have seen this.  It happens routinely in the sports media.  I have seen this, and you do, too, every day, you just don\u2019t know what it is. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_68932\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaVSAmericaTRUTH.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Liberals consider themselves elites.  They\u2019re elites intellectually, smarter than everybody else.  They\u2019re better people.  They look at the original sin of slavery in this country as something that will forever shape, harm, penalize blacks.  It is something that, as far as liberals are concerned, especially in the media, will never be overcome.  They\u2019re still slaves in one way or another.  This manifests itself in people feeling sorry for them.  There\u2019s sympathy.  They actually think that, without advantages, African-Americans and other minorities, too, by the way, can\u2019t accomplish things.  The country\u2019s too unfair.  The country is too unjust.  The founding of the country was a stacked deck, blacks never had a chance.  Forget the civil war, didn\u2019t mean anything.  Slavery, the fact that it happened, means it\u2019s never gone away. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_68933\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaSad.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They look at Obama and they feel sorry for him.  So unfair that he should have to deal with all these critics on the right. It\u2019s so unfair, because, of course, the interesting thing here is Obama does not come from the American civil rights tradition or heritage.  As our <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=30224\">Official Obama Criticizer<\/a>, Mr. Snerdley would say, he doesn\u2019t have slave blood.  He\u2019s never been down for the struggle.  But it doesn\u2019t matter.  This is how elite liberals look at minorities.  Actually, look at everybody this way.  Incompetent, incapable of decisions in life and doing things on your own. You need a big government shepherding you through life, or in their case, Obama needs them sheltering him.  Now, they have equal respect for him in terms of he\u2019s an Ivy Leaguer and he\u2019s one of them, but he still needs a little push. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>You talk to conservative blacks, they\u2019ll tell you exactly this, and they know exactly what I\u2019m talking about.  It\u2019s actually a form of discrimination.  The soft bigotry of low expectations and it leads them to have this almost parental type protective bubble.  That\u2019s why there\u2019s no Benghazi story.  It\u2019s not fair the first black president should have to deal with this stuff.  It\u2019s not fair.  They\u2019ve already had to put up with so much as blacks in this country. It\u2019s not fair, traditional standards that presidents have been held to, Obama is exempt.  It\u2019s a racial thing.  In addition to there being unbridled ideological loyalty, they\u2019re all liberals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to expand on the racial component of this and the media\u2019s devotion to Obama and why they are sheltering him.
