RUSH: Van Jones on election night said that what was happening was a whitelash.  And I asked some questions about it, and I did it two different times the day after the election.  And I predicted to you that the media would try to make hay out of it by relating me to racism or what have you.  Here\u2019s what Van Jones said.  He said that was this a whitelash.  He said that the reason the Democrats lost, the reason the Republicans won was that white people voted in unison for whatever reasons.  It was a whitelash.  A whitelash, not a backlash, a whitelash, what he means is is that white people decided to take their country back.<\/p>\n

So I asked a question.  I asked the question two or three different ways, and I\u2019m gonna repeat it to you here<\/a>.  In American politics today, when women vote monolithically, it\u2019s fine and dandy and it\u2019s good and it\u2019s wonderful.  The Democrats talk about it.  When lesbians and gays and transgenders, when they all vote the same way, it\u2019s perfectly legitimate.  When they vote monolithically, it\u2019s legitimate, and it\u2019s a good thing, they\u2019re voting their interests.  When African-Americans vote as a bloc, when they vote monolithically, it\u2019s good and it\u2019s legitimate. <\/p>\n

When any group, when Hispanics, when they come together and vote identically and monolithically, it\u2019s legitimate and good.  When Van Jones thinks that white people got together and voted as a group, it\u2019s a whitelash and it\u2019s not good.  So my question is, why in the realm of politics is it not legitimate for white people to vote their interests?  As far as the Democrats are concerned — and I\u2019m not saying that that\u2019s what happened. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019m just asking the question.  They think it is.  They think white people voting their interests is what\u2019s wrong with America.  And part of the reason they think they are progressing and succeeding is by chipping away at the white majority.  To them the white majority is what\u2019s wrong with the country.  Every day since the founding the white majority has to be busted up, has to be defeated, that\u2019s what the progressive left thinks. <\/p>\n

Whites and Christians are the two groups that you can attack with no criticism.  And Van Jones did.  I simply ask, how is it not legitimate for white people to vote their political interests?  What makes that not good?  Why is every other group able to do so with praise, in fact, they\u2019re encouraged to do so, the Democrats encourage every woman to think alike and vote alike. <\/p>\n

They encourage every Hispanic to think alike and vote alike.  They encourage every African-American to think alike and vote alike.  They encourage every woman to think alike and vote alike.  They encourage every Asian to think alike and vote alike, every gay and lesbian, think alike and vote alike.  When white people do it in politic, ah, ah, ah, what makes that bad, what makes that unacceptable? <\/p>\n
