RUSH: Back to the phones we go here on the EIB Network, Rush Limbaugh to Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is Sherry. Great to have you here. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, thank you very much. I\u2019m a lifelong Democrat. A friend finally convinced me to listen to you probably about six months ago, and I have enjoyed listening to your program, although I don\u2019t always agree with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am calling because… I\u2019m sure you can tell it, but not only am I nervous, I am so mad because I cannot understand how any American that loves America, truly loves America; could vote for Obama, who very apparently hates this country. What will he do when he becomes president? I mean, it doesn\u2019t matter what gender you are, what race you are. How in the world could you vote for a man like this? And, you know, people say, ‘Well, Hillary. Everybody hates Hillary. They don\u2019t want her in there.\u2019 Well, one thing about Hillary and the Clintons. They\u2019ve at least been investigated from every angle for the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s saying something. That is saying something.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I know you\u2019re being sarcastic. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no —<\/p>\n

CALLER: But truly they\u2019re not going to have many things left that\u2019s going to come out, I don\u2019t believe, but what do we know about Obama? Nothing! The very things were just barely scraped at, and then everything that if you say anything about that, I mean: Oh, my goodness, we\u2019re racist! This has nothing to do with race. This has to do with putting a man in the presidency of the United States that hates this country. I mean, you know, Hitler was the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — cruelest and worst leader of all time but I\u2019ll bet you he loved his country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Obama is worse than Hitler?<\/p>\n

CALLER: In my opinion, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question. I\u2019m sitting here; I\u2019m somewhat stupefied because I thought I understood Democrats pretty well. I understand the riff. I understand that there are a lot of female Democrats who are just livid over how Hillary has been treated here. Are you one of those? Are you upset at the way she\u2019s been treated? Not just that the party\u2019s on the cusp of nominating Obama, but are you worried — are you mad about the way she\u2019s been treated?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That does not bother me at all. I would vote for any Democrat over Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you, I\u2019m being dead serious. Do not read anything into this. Do you go to church every Sunday?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I do not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you have a gun?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) Unfortunately, no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Unfortunately no? Okay, well, I\u2019m just trying to understand, \u2019cause Obama is losing votes with a lot of Democrats who he says cling to religion and their guns because they don\u2019t like people that don\u2019t look like them and this sort of thing. I was just wondering if you were one of the kinds of people he\u2019s described and he\u2019s really offended.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m just an American that loves this country. I am religious.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have to ask you, if you\u2019re an American that loves the country, what do you think about Democrat Senators like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi urging the defeat of the US military in Iraq?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think it\u2019s disgusting. We\u2019re in there now. I didn\u2019t agree with it. At the time, I actually agreed with it because I really thought they were going to find weapons of mass destruction, and I wanted Bush and our soldiers to go in there and kick butt and get rid of them. As it\u2019s turned out, as we know, there wasn\u2019t any, but regardless, we\u2019re there now. We can\u2019t get out now until we win that. We can\u2019t get out in disgrace. It\u2019s going to be worse if we leave now, so we\u2019ve got to finish the job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, doesn\u2019t it bother you that that\u2019s not the position of your party?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah! Yeah. By far.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hillary doesn\u2019t care about winning there. She wants to pull out as quickly as she can, too?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think Hillary is smart enough to, when she gets into office, becomes the president, she\u2019d realize we can\u2019t get out of there now, and she\u2019d have to change and she\u2019d have to stay in there until the job was finished.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I\u2019m going to answer your questions now because you said, ‘We don\u2019t know what Obama is going to do. We don\u2019t know who he is. Hillary, at least they\u2019ve been investigated; we know who they are.\u2019 I\u2019m going to tell you right now, Sherry, exactly what\u2019s going to happen if Obama is elected, and I think people need to seriously start thinking about this. He cannot leave that church. That church is Obama. He may physically leave it, but that church is in his heart and it\u2019s in his soul. He knows who those preachers are. He knows what they are, always has. I\u2019m convinced that Father Pfleger was brought in there to rile up the congregation to give Obama the excuse to leave the church, so he could leave it not because of something that Reverend Wright said, but because of something a white Catholic priest said. But he can never leave it because the church is who he is. Now, Sherry, here\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. Barack Obama — and you\u2019re right. Nobody knows hardly anything about him. We just have to assume. The people he runs around with are very, very fishy. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re anti-American. They\u2019re terrorists. They hate the country. They\u2019re shady characters. They\u2019re embezzlers. Barack Obama will do anything to become president. He will even deny who he is until the election is over. He will deny his long-time friends further association with him until the election is over. Nobody has pointed out that the people with whom he surrounds himself represent the kind of people that he will appoint to high government posts in his administration. He is going to load up the foreign policy apparatus are unilateral disarmament types, with people that are anti-Israel and are anti-US sovereignty. He will load up the departments and the agencies with people who will try to regulate society into their own images. I think we all need to start thinking and imagining what an Obama administration will be like, what it will do. They will seek permanent change through the bureaucracy. They will seek statutory change through the Congress, and will seek backing from the law through the judiciary. Everything\u2019s going to be on the table. Nothing will be safe or secure. This would be one of the most radical, leftist administrations in this history of this country, and it\u2019s time to seriously consider it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: More Father Pfleger audio, ladies and gentlemen. From Sunday, May 25th. Now, this is the same sermon in which he sounded just like Jeremiah Wright talking about how Hillary is sitting out there, sees white, this guy\u2019s black, can\u2019t believe she\u2019s losing the campaign to this unexperienced black guy, all the stuff that caused Obama to finally say he\u2019s quitting or leaving the church. Here is something else that Father Pfleger said in that same sermon.<\/p>\n

PFLEGER: Racism is still America\u2019s greatest addiction. I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God. If the greatest command is to love, then the sin against love must be the greatest sin against God, who is love, and who calls us to love one another! So, then, this greatest sin against God — racism — is as natural as the air we breathe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this didn\u2019t take long to get out, either. This is the same sermon that caused Obama to leave the church, ‘America is the greatest sin against God.\u2019 Now, keep in mind, Obama is going to have to have the votes of white people if he has a chance to win the presidency, and he\u2019s not going to get the votes of white people if he\u2019s a member of that church, and when this guy starts going nuts, that congregation stands up, folks, and it is dance party. I mean, it is Dick Clark\u2019s Bandstand. They\u2019re in there, and they are just going nuts, and they\u2019re having the best time. That video is out there, and Obama cannot win, he had to get out of that church. I am more convinced than ever that Pfleger\u2019s sermon last Sunday, the 25th of May, was done in an inflammatory manner on purpose to give Obama the break, the excuse to get out of there and he quits, or says he quits, he leaves the church because of a sermon by a deranged-sounding white guy. He also ripped the Clintons in the same sermon and the immensely popular Joel Osteen in another crazy sermon.<\/p>\n

PFLEGER: Young woman running for president — what\u2019s her name, Hilltop or — what\u2019s her name? Oh, Hillary, Hillary. Hillborn, hilltop. Talk about white vote ain\u2019t going to vote for him. She must not have been to Iowa. (cheers and applause) Trying to distract him, talk about, what did your preacher say? Hillary and McCain would wish they had a preacher with the integrity of a Jeremiah Wright. They wished they had a brother who would stand up and tell it like it is and not be ashamed or apologetic. They got some old weak preacher, ‘Jesus loves you,\u2019 some old Joel Osteen cotton candy preacher — oh, now got the Osteen people mad at me. But that\u2019s all right. Jesus loves you. I know he does, but there\u2019s some stuff wrong in my life. Everything\u2019s wonderful. No, everything ain\u2019t wonderful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was May 25th in his own church, the St. Sabina church, Father Michael Pfleger. So he was out there two sermons in one day at two different churches. This is not coincidental. Nothing that happens in the Obama campaign is coincidental. Now, yesterday in Chicago, late yesterday in Chicago, Michael Pfleger finally reacted.<\/p>\n

PFLEGER: I am deeply sorry and I pray that my apology will be accepted even by those who have told me they won\u2019t accept it. As a result of this, over 3,000 e-mails of hate and threats and name-calling, who have gone so far to say, ‘Kill yourself; take your life.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: So here we have a guy dishing out hatred every day in the guise of religion, who is acting like the victim because of e-mails he\u2019s getting as a result of what he said. Anyway, he\u2019s the reason, he\u2019s the exit strategy for Barack Obama from his church, and I just wanted you to hear more of what this guy had to say. This is who Obama is. He may disown this guy now, or throw him aside, but they\u2019ll be back arm in arm shortly after the election, whether Obama wins this or loses it. He cannot separate himself from who he is. And that\u2019s his biggest task, is trying to tell us that he\u2019s somebody he isn\u2019t. But the cat\u2019s out of the bag now. There\u2019s just too much. We know who this guy has been hanging around with for all these years. Senator Obama, you better find a normal person to bring forth as a friend of yours. Somebody that\u2019s just like all the rest of us that is one of your pals that you hang around with, because, so far, everybody that\u2019s come forth, one of your spiritual advisors, your mentor, your pastor or whatever, your close friend, your fundraisers, they\u2019re either terrorists, anti-Americans, hate-filled nummkoffs, embezzlers, radicals. I mean your close group of people are the kind of people that are not interested in any kind of unity, which, by the way, neither is Obama. That\u2019s another facade. He\u2019s not interested in unity. Obama is interested in a monologue, he is only interested in people who agree with him, and that\u2019s who he will have unity with. If you don\u2019t agree with him, he\u2019s not going to reach out to you. You\u2019re going to get stomped on or you won\u2019t exist. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
