That had to be CNN Headline News. I think it\u2019s Headline News that does that show. Well, that means nobody saw it. Well, this is even better. The host out there was &#8216;A. J. Hammer,\u2019 and his guest was the Reverend Sharpton. Here\u2019s the question from the reporter, A. J. Hammer, and the Reverend Sharpton\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n<p>HAMMER: You look at a guy like Rush Limbaugh, okay? He has certainly said things and then later apologized for them. He talks about Barack Obama on his show all the time. He has referred to that man as a Halfrican. He has played a song called &#8216;Barack the Magic Negro.\u2019 On surface, I find that offensive. A lot of people find that offensive. But the outrage over that paled in comparison. Where do you draw the line and decide who you go after?<\/p>\n<p>SHARPTON: I don\u2019t know, because Mr. Lumbard [sic] has done years of stuff against me, now Obama, others. He has a right to do that with individuals. That is not &#8212; we\u2019re talking about when you castigate a race or a gender, and he\u2019s very, very careful that he will hit individuals. I think he wanted us to come after that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (Laughing.) He called me &#8216;Mr. Lumbard.\u2019 Did you hear that? &#8216;Mr. Lumbard has done years of stuff against me.\u2019 He thinks I\u2019m setting a trap. That\u2019s what they think this is. I\u2019m going to tell you what it is, because the Reverend Sharpton\u2019s got this right. I go after individuals, not genders or groups or this kind of thing &#8212; particularly minorities &#8212; and I go after people of power, which is the mainstream media\u2019s primary reason for existing: to investigate people in power. That\u2019s what I do. I just investigate the people in power the Drive-By Media ignores: Democrats and liberals. But I actually think it\u2019s this. They know, folks, that if you\u2019re going to take out the king, you take out the king. If you make a move on the king and you fail, then it\u2019s over and you can\u2019t go back again. So this is not enough to take me out. Don\u2019t think they don\u2019t want to, but the Reverend Sharpton knows this is not the arena to step in.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This was last night on CNN\u2019s Showbiz Tonight.
