When was Kwanzaa invented? (interruption) No, \u201966.  I looked it up.  Kwanzaa was invented 1966.  It was invented by a guy named Ron Karenga.  Yeah.  Yeah.  His name was Ron Karenga but he had an alias, Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57051\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaKwanz.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So he was a doctor.  And he invented Kwanzaa, which is a seven-day feast, runs December 26 to January 1st.  In 1966 he branded it a black alternative to Christmas.  The idea was to celebrate the end of what Ron Karenga considered the Christmas season exploitation of African-Americans.  Now, what was that?  What was the Christmas season exploitation of African Americans?  Was it all the black Santa Clauses that were out there in the department stores?  What was it then?  What was the exploitation of African-Americans at Christmastime?  According to the official Kwanzaa website, as opposed to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site, the celebration was designed to foster conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the &#8212; anyway it also has a candelabra. It was seven days, seven candles instead of eight for Hanukkah, and you light \u2019em all at once.  So Obama had a menorah there and he lit \u2019em all. I\u2019m sure he thought it was Kwanzaa while talking about loyalty to Israel. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>What a day, folks.  Now we have <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=17155\">Jon Corzine <\/a>testified yesterday, &#8220;I don\u2019t know where&#8221; &#8212; (interruption) What?  He did.  He lit all the candles on the menorah.  He lit them all.  Lit them all.  Well, let me tell you something.  The White House Christmas party for the media was December 6th.  That\u2019s about eight or nine days earlier than usual.  See, everything is based on Obama getting out of town on December 16th to head over to Hawaii.  So that\u2019s why he lit all the candles.  He didn\u2019t have time to wait for Hanukkah to actually play out, he\u2019s gotta leave.  He can\u2019t wait. He doesn\u2019t have time to hang around for Kwanzaa. I mean that doesn\u2019t start \u2019til December 26th. He\u2019s gotta do that now.  He has to get outta here by December 16th, December 17th.  That\u2019s when vacation starts.  So just go ahead and light all the candles on the menorah and talk about how you love Israel and be done with it. (interruption) I know, I know, if Bush had tried that&#8230; (laughing)  If anybody else had tried that, I know, I understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yesterday Obama celebrated Hanukkah.
