RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what, folks, I really, really hope the Republicans, the Republicans in Congress, the RNC, anybody, super PACs, I hope they are writing down everything Obama is saying about how he has cut spending, how he wants to cut spending, how he has not spent it all, because when the next debt deal comes up, guess who is not going to be talking about cutting spending? That\u2019s right. Barry Obama. Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm, is gonna be moving for the debt limit to be expanded, be raised, be elevated. Why? So he can spend more money. <\/p>\n
One of his primary campaign managers, the former mayor of Denver, Pena, is in private equity, big Democrat. He is buying companies and he\u2019s laying people off. He\u2019s doing everything Obama is accusing Romney of having done. He\u2019s doing it as we speak. He\u2019s a private equity guy. He runs Obama\u2019s campaign in the West or some such thing. It\u2019s backfiring on them left and right, and the Democrat consultants and the media people can\u2019t believe Obama let it go. They ran into Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz and they asked her about it. She said there is no plan B. Our plan is to attack Mitt Romney as an evil capitalist when he ran Bain. There is no plan B. <\/p>\n
And guess what else I\u2019m seeing all over the place? Ha-ho. Everywhere I turn now, every television network I watch, somebody quotes me without attribution, saying, “Obama, the first president they\u2019ve ever seen to run against capitalism.” I said that earlier this week<\/a>, and it\u2019s being picked up all over place, which is fine, don\u2019t misunderstand, I don\u2019t care. I get stuff lifted from me all the time. If I worried about that I\u2019d be going nuts. Instead I\u2019m happy it\u2019s getting out there. In fact, it\u2019s getting out there in many ways and very distorted ways. Earlier this week on Fox & Friends Gretchen Carlson asks Romney, “So, you agree with what Rush Limbaugh said about Obama running against capitalism?” And Romney agreed. <\/p>\n Last night on Current Television, that\u2019s Algore\u2019s network. Yeah, we do, we sometimes run tape on Current TV. Yeah, it\u2019s still on, the Eliot Spitzer Show. You know their ratings are very close to CNN\u2019s now. Well, they are. Current is trending up by a couple people a week, and CNN\u2019s trending down. So we rolled tape on Current, and this is the Eliot Spitzer show. It\u2019s called Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer. He had a guest, the Nation magazine campaign correspondent Ben Adler, talking about Romney and me. And the fill-in host, I guess Spitzer had an appointment. Hoo-hah. He-he-he-he. Client No. 9 not on last night. The fill-in host by the name of John Fugelsang. So John Fugelsang and The Nation magazine guy had this little chat.<\/p>\n FUGELSANG: I want to start off with a question about Governor Romney\u2019s appearance on the Rush Limbaugh Show and parroting Rush Limbaugh\u2019s comment that Barack Obama is attacking capitalism. Is repeating whatever Rush Limbaugh says part of a strategy to actually make the far right like him more?<\/p>\n ADLER: Yes. Definitely. Mitt Romney has deferred to Rush Limbaugh before. You look at climate change, he used to believe in climate change. Romney did, to appease him, dial it back and say he\u2019s not sure about climate change. So, yes, I think that is definitely part of his strategy.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, Romney has not appeared on this program. Romney did not parrot me. Romney was asked by Gretchen Carlson, “Do you agree with Limbaugh that Obama\u2019s running against capitalism?” That\u2019s sticking out there. The point is these two doofuses don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about, but it\u2019s still sticking, is my point. It\u2019s out there now: Obama running against capitalism. And it must have hit a home run because these people are very defensive about it. Remember, the way to make the left act like a stuck pig is tell the truth about \u2019em. That\u2019s what they can\u2019t deal with. <\/p>\n Now, in addition to everybody on the Democrat side being really beside themselves over the fact that the Bain attack backfired… Now, let me explain this. Take you back to last fall and last winter during the Republican primary, just to remind you, I told you back then that the regime wanted Romney. That\u2019s why Occupy Wall Street was created. They were going to run against everything they thought Romney personified, typified. Wall Street, wealth, excess, and all of the horrible things that go along with that. And I was right. And now it\u2019s falling apart. Everything they\u2019re doing is aimed at Romney and Bain and wealth and Wall Street, and it\u2019s not sticking. It\u2019s their primary campaign thrust. It\u2019s plan A, and it\u2019s not working. In the middle of it not working Obama\u2019s doubling down on it and that is making them nervous. <\/p>\n We move over to The Politico, which is basically the White House stenographer pool. And, according to the Politico, all of the inside-the-Beltway cognoscenti, the best and the brightest, are anxious. They\u2019re nervous over how Obama has stumbled out of the gate. And by that, they mean how his campaign has been going since he formally announced his candidacy three weeks ago. <\/p>\n The writers of the piece are Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei, and they even admit that they are upset because, quote, “Obama, not Mitt Romney, is the one with the muddled message — and the one who often comes across as baldly political.” And the reason that they\u2019re feeling this way is because they\u2019ve been living a pipe dream, they\u2019ve been living an illusion. They have been living the idea that Obama is unlike any other politician. He\u2019s better. He\u2019s more competent, more qualified. He\u2019s the smoothest talking!<\/p>\n They fully bought into all this. Remember, the left lives in a cocoon. They don\u2019t know what we think. They don\u2019t listen to this program. They don\u2019t read conservative sources. They don\u2019t know what we think. They are not prepared, therefore, to do intellectual battle with us. They\u2019ve never heard what we think. I\u2019m not exaggerating. And these people bought the notion (and they\u2019re still living it) that Obama is unparalleled in the business of politics.<\/p>\n And now they\u2019ve gotta go out there and try to claim (because of some off-the-wall incompetent piece at MarketWatch), that Obama\u2019s not a big spender. They\u2019re grasping at such straws that they\u2019re latching onto that. Well, I went back in time. I\u2019ve got story after story: “Obama Administration Defends Higher Government Spending,” “Obama Administration Defends Higher Government Spending,” “Don\u2019t Call it a ‘Stimulus\u2019 Package,” “Obama Wants Another $50 billion.”<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got these stories from the time he was inaugurated up to now about all the spending Obama wanted to do. They\u2019re living a lie, and they\u2019ve already gotten caught in it. Nobody believes that Obama is not a big spender. It\u2019s why the Tea Party exists. So their world is upside down. Now he appears to be “stumbling out of the gate.” And I don\u2019t know about you, folks, but every war… You almost feel their pain. Every war that Obama has launched: The War on Women, the War on the Rich — even his War on Dogs!<\/p>\n He launched a War on Dogs by trying to criticize Romney for having his dog ride on the roof. And then everybody figured out that Obama once ate dog. Who wins that one? I mean, you look at the family pooch: What are you gonna do, eat it or put it on the family car? There\u2019s no question here. It\u2019s all backfiring on The One. Obama\u2019s problem is not that his message is “muddled.” The problem is his message is all too clear! This is what always does in the left. They think they\u2019re not getting their message out.<\/p>\n How many times, Snerdley, over 25 years have we talked about the left complaining that their message “isn\u2019t getting out”? Every election cycle, without question, the left says and the Democrats say, “Well, we just didn\u2019t get our message out.” No, you did! You are getting it out. When I did Election Night coverage in 2002 with Tim Russert and Brokaw, after that shellacking when they lost the midterms, the narrative that night from the network position was that the Democrats “just didn\u2019t get their message out.”<\/p>\n I said, “What do you mean they didn\u2019t get their message out? What about the Wellstone memorial? They did get their message out! We know who they are.” The problem is that Obama\u2019s message is all too clear and people aren\u2019t as easily bamboozled as they used to be. When you start off as The Messiah, there\u2019s nowhere to go but down. (interruption) No, really. When you enter office as an earthly messiah, there\u2019s nowhere to go but down. It\u2019s just logic. Human nature and logic. (interruption)<\/p>\n He did deliver! He gave \u2019em health care! He gave \u2019em the stimulus! He gave \u2019em everything they wanted. The only thing they didn\u2019t get was Card Check. They didn\u2019t get single-payer health care. He did deliver! He has destroyed the economy. He did deliver. This is the point. It\u2019s clear as a bell what he\u2019s done. Nobody wanted it! Look, folks. I have noted before that undoubtedly the two worst scourges of modern history have been the scourges of communism and Nazism.<\/p>\n Untold millions of people had their lives destroyed because of communism and Nazism. What was communism? What is it? Simply put, communism is an attempt to whip up a war between economic classes of people. And what\u2019s Nazism? Nazism, ultimately, was an attempt to whip up a war between the races. Now, we have an American presidential campaign that seems to be trying to do both these things! Correct me if I\u2019m wrong. We\u2019ve got a president that\u2019s encouraging class warfare; he\u2019s promoting class envy.<\/p>\n We have a president who does not mind at all this war between the races. (impression) “Well, If I had a son, he\u2019d look like Trayvon.” A DC school, by the way, is having Trayvon Martin Day. Have you heard about that? I\u2019m not kidding. I\u2019m not making it up. Teachers at a Washington, DC, elementary school have declared today to be Trayvon Martin Day, according to the ABC TV affiliate in Washington. “Teachers at Malcolm X Elementary in southeast are using the unfolding case to teach children about social injustice and race relations in the US.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushROmneyFoxFriends052412.jpg\"\/)

<\/a>All right. I can just hear you castratis saying, “What do you mean, Mr. Limbaugh, that the president is encouraging a War on Race? How dare you say that? It\u2019s outrageous!” Trayvon Martin Day, Duke lacrosse. I\u2019m telling you: To me, it is undeniable what is happening here. We have a presidential campaign that seems to be trying to both whip up a war between the classes (the economic classes) and to whip up a war between the races. And if not whip up a war, certainly create some friction and discontent.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-lip.jpg\"\/)
