RUSH: Geraldine Ferraro also not backing down, despite onslaughts from across the political spec — Well, I think the Republicans are staying quiet on this for the most part. This is another example of the chaos that has been created out there, ladies and gentlemen, by us, you and I working together to create chaos, Operation Chaos. It\u2019s even been in the Huffington Post today. It\u2019s been acknowledged. The Limbaugh Effect is working and will continue to work throughout the rest of these primaries and the Democrat campaign season. Here\u2019s the Ferraro comment, last Friday in an interview with the Torrance, California, Daily Breeze. This is the comment that got it all started.<\/p>\n

FERRARO: If Barack Obama were a white man, would we be talking about this as a potential real problem for — for Hillary? If he were a woman of any color, would he be in this position that he\u2019s in? Absolutely not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So essentially what Geraldine Ferraro is saying is that if he were white, he wouldn\u2019t even be in this race. If he were white… She said the only thing he does well is give a speech. So you turn it around and what she\u2019s saying is: He\u2019s only there because he\u2019s black. The Democrats\u2019 Uncivil War. They\u2019re the ones introduced race into this campaign; they\u2019re the ones introduced gender. And this is a Clinton campaign surrogate spokesman. This is exactly… We knew this was going to happen. The Clintons aren\u2019t going to say this stuff themselves. David Axelrod, Obama\u2019s chief strategerist, had this reaction.<\/p>\n

AXELROD: There\u2019s been this insidious pattern on the part of the Clinton campaign to allow negative, really negative and out-of-bounds comments to be made and to simply gloss over them and to kind of give a wink and a nod.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, David, way to go! The Clintons, this is your party. Back in the nineties, nobody cared when the Clintons were doing stuff like this to us. Nooooo. Back then it was marveled at, it was appreciated, salivated over. But now that the Clintons have turned their tactics and techniques on fellow Democrats, why, (gasp!) Shock, outrage, can\u2019t believe this, and they\u2019re stunned that the Clintons get away with it. You idiots! Had you been paying any attention to the nineties, you should have figured this was going to happen in this, first time anybody came along and interrupted their coronation they\u2019re going to be swept out of the way. Now you guys are leading… Axelrod, listen to me now. Look to me. You guys got the lead in the popular vote; you got the lead in the delegates, in the pledged delegates and so forth; you got the lead in a number of states and the Clintons are saying, ‘That qualifies you to be vice president,\u2019 and everybody is sitting around just laughing. Hoo hoo hoo hoo. So are we, by the way. It\u2019s the Clintons. Here\u2019s Hillary, by the way, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, weighing in.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Weeeell, I don\u2019t agree with that. And I think it\u2019s important that, you know, we try to stay focused on the issues that matter to the American people — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: — and both of us have had supporters and staff members who have gone over the line, and we have to rein them in and try to keep this, you know, on the issues.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, there\u2019s no reining in of Geraldine Ferraro. That\u2019s the difference. There hasn\u2019t been any reining in of Geraldine Ferraro. ‘Weeeeeell,\u2019 it\u2019s really no big deal. Let me translate that last bite. ‘This is no big deal. Grow up, Obama. This is the big leagues. Stop whining! Who do you think you\u2019re in the ring with?\u2019 All right, now this morning on the Today Show, Matt Lauer talked to Senator Obama. Matt Lauer said, ‘I just got off the phone with Geraldine Ferraro, and she\u2019s somewhat shocked by the fact that she\u2019s being taken to task for these comments. She feels she\u2019s simply stating the obvious. I guess the question for you, Obama, is do you think this is a racist comment? Was it a sexist comment? And has she done damage to the Democrat Party at this stage in the race?\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I just think that [if] somebody in my campaign suggested that Senator Clinton was only where she is because she was a woman, I think people would take great offense, and rightly so, because she\u2019s a very accomplished person who is running a terrific and tenacious race, and I just don\u2019t think that that kind of approach to evaluating candidates or denigrating candidates, is particularly useful to the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right, but we are happy to have caused it here, and we are going to keep piling on with this. But, look, Obama. Since you won\u2019t say it, I will. I\u2019ve said it before. Hillary Clinton\u2019s the most cheated on woman in the world! You understand the scope of this? Folks, she\u2019s the most cheated on woman in the world. (interruption) Until today. (laughs) Yes, I forgot Spitzer. You\u2019re right. Hillary Clinton is the second most cheated on woman in the world, and the fact that she is a female whose last name is Clinton is the only reason that she is considered presidential material, pure and simple. She\u2019s got no record just like Obama has no record, to recommend this kind of promotion. It\u2019s simply her turn. She\u2019s eaten all those excrement sandwiches for the last 20 years propping Bill up. This is her payback. The Democrat Party and everybody else knows it. You ought to say that, Obama, for crying out loud! McCain will get mad at you but what the hell, he\u2019s your opponent anyway! He ought to be angry. (interruption) Yeah, I know Matthews said it, and he had to apologize. Well, that\u2019s because, that\u2019s because PMSNBC is DNCTV. I mean, the Clintons get people suspended over on that network. So Matthews had to wear the protective cup out there underneath the suit slacks, go out there and apologize with the legs crossed. Here Ferraro back in action last night on Fox News Channel\u2019s Election Headquarters, Martha MacCallum (big McCain babe, by the way) interviewed Ferraro and said, ‘You\u2019re getting a lot of heat for this comment. You want to put it in context for us?\u2019<\/p>\n

FERRARO: I\u2019m sorry that people thought it was racist, but part of the problem is — and I\u2019m a person, really, who has fought discrimination for 40 years. So I am absolutely offended by the e-mails, the phone calls, and all the threats that I\u2019ve been getting, which is really terrible and it\u2019s come out of — out of the Obama campaign. David Axelrod, who knows me better… In 1984, if my name were Gerard Ferraro, instead of Geraldine Ferraro, I would never have been the nominee for vice president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

FERRARO: What I find that\u2019s offensive, is that every time somebody says something about the campaign, you\u2019re accused of being racist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah? Well, join the club. Join the club, Gerard — uh, Geraldine. Sorry. You are exactly right. Join the club. Then MacCallum, Martha said — by the way, I like Martha. Don\u2019t misunderstand anything here. What\u2019s the campaign saying? Because she did distance herself a bit from this comment today on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n

FERRARO: She can\u2019t ‘rein me in.\u2019 I don\u2019t run by anybody anything that they want to say or not say. I am a supporter. I will continue… If it makes David happy, I would get off the — but I\u2019m telling David that I will raise money for Hillary, and if Barack Obama is the candidate, he shouldn\u2019t really antagonize people like me because he\u2019s going to come and ask me to raise money for Barack Obama — and I would do it for him, too, if he stops doing this kind of horrendous attacks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t you love this? Let me tell you something. A lot of people — we\u2019ve got a guy on the phone, I don\u2019t have time to take the call, we\u2019ll do it in the next hour — are saying that Ferraro is having happen to her what happened to me with ESPN and McNabb. The two are totally different, folks. What Ferraro said about Obama is not even close to the comments I made on ESPN. Now, I appreciate people wanting to sympathize, but there is a huge, huge difference here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What did Geraldine Ferraro actually say? She said that he\u2019s only there because he\u2019s a black guy. She said if he were a white man, he wouldn\u2019t even be in the presidential race. So she\u2019s essentially saying that he\u2019s unqualified and black, right? Now, let me ask you people a question. Who gave us this concept? Unqualified and black, pfft!, shooting to the top? Who gave us this concept? I am rubbing my hands together in glee here. It was liberals who demanded this. Of course, Nixon signed it, trying to make all liberals love him. It was the same thing with the EPA, same thing with OSHA. Don\u2019t get me started on Nixon on that. Liberals gave us affirmative action. They gave us the concept of quotas, and they gave us the concept that it will never end, that we will never be able to make amends for what kind of discrimination and transgressions in the past that may have taken place. So we\u2019re going to have perpetual affirmative action, perpetual quotas. <\/p>\n

What does it mean? What it means is that people who are minorities who have not accomplished as much to qualify, are going to be pushed ahead anyway. Because we\u2019ve held \u2019em down for so long it\u2019s the only thing we can do to make up for our sins. Now the libs\u2019 very own theory, their very own belief system, their very own policy has resulted in something they abhor — or at least Geraldine Ferraro does — and I will guarantee you, in the bowels of the Clinton campaign, they are saying and have been saying for a long time, ‘How the hell are we being outmaneuvered by some rookie African-American guy?\u2019 Now, these Democrats, they loooove to talk about affirmative action and fairness and so forth, until it affects them — and when it starts to affect them, what do you do? You send Bill Clinton out to basically insult them, as in South Carolina. George Neumayr who writes today in the American Spectator on this whole Ferraro flap, has a great point. <\/p>\n

‘Since liberalism is not based upon natural justice but willfulness, [liberalism] never fails to devour its supposed beneficiaries. Ferraro\u2019s condescension captures the tone of paternalistic liberalism perfectly. Its ‘victims\u2019 should know their place and plot their ascent according to the progressive charts set up by the white liberal establishment,\u2019 meaning Obama has reached too far here. So even though this is the party of affirmative action, the party that tells us that this equals fairness, when this fairness affects them, guess what? Somebody like Geraldine Ferraro says he\u2019s only there because he\u2019s black. That\u2019s what she said — and now, she\u2019s mad that people are upset at her. Now, you could look at this in any number of ways. Obama is receiving 90% of the black vote in the Democrat primary. Why is that? Are the differences between Obama and Hillary on policy so different? They\u2019re not. Why are most women voting for Hillary? What is the party of segregation? You tell me. What is the real party that segregates people and puts them into groups and makes victims out of them? <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Democrat Party, and now they\u2019re being done in by their own policies, by their own beliefs. They end up eating themselves with this. Of course we\u2019re helping out with the Rush the Vote and the continual chaos that we\u2019re causing, but they\u2019re doing a lot to help this along themselves. I mean, to be honest here, Hillary Clinton wouldn\u2019t be where she is but for the fact that she has ‘Bill Clinton\u2019s wife\u2019 on her r&eacute;sum&eacute; and that she\u2019s a woman. Obama would not have received the kind of attention he\u2019s received from the media for who he is, would he? We can\u2019t ask this question? We\u2019re being told we can\u2019t ask the question. Geraldine Ferraro can\u2019t say this. But it looks to me like most of the blacks are voting for him, most of the women are voting for her. That party is segregated. There\u2019s no policy difference, so what\u2019s going on here? <\/p>\n

You can\u2019t point this out? The liberals, including some black leaders, say Obama\u2019s election is a referendum on America\u2019s openness to a black candidate, but if Ferraro says that Obama wouldn\u2019t be where he is but for his race, that\u2019s not a question that could be asked? I happen to think that what she said, she should be entitled to say it. If people want to excoriate her for it, she should be excoriated, but all these people running around demanding apologies is just another creation of the Democrat Party. Look at the Clinton campaign. Obama was too ambitious, they said early on, too ambitious. They cited his kindergarten statements to prove it. Remember that, folks? I remember all this stuff. Hillary pointed out that he\u2019s lying about how long he says he wanted to be president. Why, he wrote a kindergarten essay about it — and everybody went, ‘What are you talking about?\u2019 Well, there was a message there. Obama, you are too ambitious right now. You should know your place. Quick phone call, Columbia, South Carolina. John, I really appreciate you holding on. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing, today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. I just got a quick comment. I heard you say earlier there is a difference between the comments you\u2019ve made about McNabb and the ones that Geraldine Ferraro made about Obama. To me, the only difference is that you made a comment about a quarterback on an NFL team that wasn\u2019t even in the lead of his conference at the time, and she\u2019s making the same exact comments about supposedly, from their side, who\u2019s going to be the leader of a free world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you called, because I think a lot of people think what you think, and I don\u2019t blame you for thinking it. But there is a stark difference between what Mrs. — and it\u2019s ‘Ms.\u2019 Ferraro. What\u2019s her maiden name? John Zaccaro. Yeah, it should be Mrs. Zaccaro and Ms. Ferraro. But I said ‘Mrs.\u2019 Ferraro and it\u2019s not wrong because there is no Mr. Ferraro except her dad, and we don\u2019t want to go there. What she said about Barack Obama was he wouldn\u2019t be anywhere near this presidential race if he were white. Turn it around. He\u2019s only here because he\u2019s black. I didn\u2019t say anything like that about McNabb. I said the media was holding out a little hope for McNabb. They want to build him up because they got a little social justice going on in the sports Drive-Bys, and so they cut black quarterbacks a little slack, if they like them. I never said McNabb was a bad quarterback. I just said he was overrated. I spent a lot of time talking about the talents he does have. I never, ever, said that if he were white, he wouldn\u2019t be a quarterback. I never, ever, said that he\u2019s only a quarterback because he\u2019s black. I did not insult his race at all. I was talking about the Drive-Bys and liberal Democrat social justice. Geraldine Ferraro attacked Obama and said he\u2019s not qualified for anything because he\u2019s black.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lexington, Kentucky. This is Becky. I\u2019m glad you waited. I appreciate your patience. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey there, Rush. How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted to make a couple comments about the Ferraro comment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes?<\/p>\n

CALLER: And again, based on our premise that they have a difficult time looking beyond race, Geraldine Ferraro obviously has a difficult time looking beyond color, because isn\u2019t Barack Obama\u2019s mother… Wasn\u2019t she white?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shh, shh, shh. See, we\u2019re not supposed to say that, either. We can\u2019t. Look, they\u2019re really putting restrictions on us out there, Becky. You can\u2019t point that out, because that means he\u2019s not all black, he\u2019s not black enough. Can\u2019t do that. We can\u2019t mention that his dad was a (whispers) ‘Muslim.\u2019 Can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But he wouldn\u2019t be in the position that he is if he was a white man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. That\u2019s what Geraldine Ferraro said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But the funniest aspect of this to me is, who is the party that sponsors this kind of stuff?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Precisely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They have been telling us that unqualified people merit advancement because they\u2019re minorities that have been discriminated against, and now one of them (laughs) wants to take the party away from the Clintons, and guess what? That\u2019s not what they had in mind.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They certainly had no problem trotting him out at the \u201904 convention as the rising star of the Democratic Party, did they?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not at all. Good point. They had no idea it was going to lead to this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. Exactly. And why did they bring him out? Why do you think? To unify and get the black vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: To continue to do that and because… (sigh) I don\u2019t even want to answer this. Think back to what Joe Biden said. That\u2019s how Joe Biden would answer the question that you asked, and let his words be the ones that you hear. Do you remember that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh…<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Articulate,\u2019 Joe Biden said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, that\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s good finally we got an articulate black guy in our party running for president. Clean. Clean, articulate. I think they brought him out for exactly what you say. They brought him out for unity and they said to the black population, ‘Hey, look! Look at what we got here! Look at what we\u2019re doing for you. You, too, could be a senator someday and be big in our party.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: The ‘rising star.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what we were fed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The rising star.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No question about it, he was.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Fast-forward. If Hillary should steal the nomination and Barack decides not to become the VP —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — then what is it going to do to…?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I will tell you what will happen. If that happens, you are going to see more black voters stay home and not vote than you\u2019ve ever seen before, and you\u2019re going to see 10 to 20% of them cross over and vote for McCain, and you are going to see… Well, I\u2019m going to stop predicting there. But that\u2019s what you will see. People are not going to talk about this. The Drive-Bys are not going to talk about this, but there is rage in the black community over that possibility, and they see it shaping up. They are mad about it. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you still there, Beck\u2019?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I sure am.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Because your turn to talk now.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, okay. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You must not have been given a chance to talk much at your house, but here you are. (laughter) <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) Well, I\u2019m just kind of awe-struck by talking to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. You\u2019re awestruck because… Well, you\u2019re not really awestruck. You\u2019re just proud that I have given you credit for being brilliant, which you have been.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling) Uh, it\u2019s because I listen to you all of the time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is your face turning red?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It is! (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) Mine already was. All right, Becky, thanks. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Now, I\u2019m telling you, folks, there is a seething rage out there. It\u2019s about… If Hillary gets the nomination, after all of this, Democrats have a lesson to learn over this. <\/line><\/p>\n
