It won\u2019t be long, it may happen tonight, it may happen tomorrow, but somewhere in the Drive-By Media there will be a story, probably Associated Press, and it will be picked up and amplified from there. One day after Obama warned that his critics would play the race card, Rush Limbaugh jumped right in and did just that by talking about how his wife, Michelle, has slave blood, but he ain\u2019t got no slave blood. Keep in mind that when they do this, it was some guy that runs the Southern Christian Leadership Conference who said that. They\u2019re going to say, Limbaugh jumped right in, Obama warned us, the Republicans are going to play the race card, and Limbaugh plays the &#8216;Magic Negro\u2019 song, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can predict these people. I know \u2019em like every square inch of my glorious naked body. What Obama is doing is reprehensible in terms of telling people what is going to be said that hasn\u2019t been said. It\u2019s playing the race card. Nobody that I know is saying anything about his race, nobody important on our side, nobody that matters, and the same thing about this Muslim business. But the smoothness, the effortlessness with the way this guy weaves in and out of the truth such as doing his flip-flop on campaign finance reform and public financing of campaigns is breathtaking to behold. It just is. <\/p>\n<p>I was telling a friend of mine over the weekend that it seems like it\u2019s a never-ending process. The process is always the same. The left accuses us of either being something, like racist or sexist or bigoted or homophobic, or they say that we\u2019re going to say something racist, sexist, or bigoted or homophobic. And what happens is that we always end up on the defensive, and I\u2019m frankly tired of being on the defensive. I\u2019m not going to sit here and say, &#8216;What is this, we\u2019re not racist.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t advance anything whatsoever. And, frankly, to sit here and call Obama a liar and to point &#8212; I also told my buddies, chitchatting with Levin on the instant message, I said, &#8216;I think the American public probably tires of hearing conservatives say of liberals that they lie all the time.\u2019 We said it about Clinton, it was true. It didn\u2019t matter. Bob Kerrey praised Clinton for being an exceptionally good liar. The Drive-By are praising Obama for being an exceptionally funny and skilled politician by getting rid of these attacks the way he did, by accusing the Republicans of making them before they did. So to sit around &#8212; I\u2019m talking about in terms of how to respond to this, sit here and say, gosh, Obama is lying through his teeth, I don\u2019t think people want to hear it, whether they know it or not. It obviously didn\u2019t bother them that Clinton lied, until later. So there has to be a different mode of responding to Obama, and I think it\u2019s what Ronald Reagan said, &#8216;Just laugh at \u2019em, just laugh at \u2019em and just ridicule it,\u2019 because it is preposterous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, I want to get a little prediction to you here.
