He spoke to the NAALCP convention, the National Association of Liberal Colored People, and he went in there, and one of the things he talked about was education, the need for increased education. Now, there are plenty of minority parents throughout the country who are terribly, terribly upset over the quality of education that their kids get, but you\u2019re not going to find too many of them at the NAALCP. The NAALCP has been fine and hunky-dory with all of the union control of the public school system, which includes many of their members and employees and so forth. So that\u2019s kind of&#8230; Education? When did they care about that? If the NAALCP cared about education in the inner-city schools, I guarantee you something would have been done about it a long time ago. But then after talking to the NAALCP about education, Senator McCain then said this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"319\" class=\"alignright\"\/>MCCAIN: Don\u2019t tell him I said this, but he\u2019s an impressive fellow in many ways. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (impression of McCain snickering)<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: He\u2019s inspired a great many Americans, some of whom have wrongly believed that a political campaign could hold no purpose or meaning for them. His success should make Americans, all Americans, proud. Of course, I would prefer his success not to continue quite as long as he hopes, but it does make you and me proud to know the country I\u2019ve loved and served all my life is still a work in progress and always improving. Senator Obama talks about making history, and he\u2019s made quite a bit of it already.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. That\u2019s Senator McCain today in Cincinnati, at the NAALCP convention, practically endorsing Barack Obama for the presidency. (laughing) While all this is going on, Joe Biden and all these other libs are out there excoriating McCain, trying to destroy the integrity and the substance of his war record. I\u2019ve not seen anything like this. (interruption) I\u2019ve not&#8230; (interruption) I\u2019ve not&#8230; (interruption) No, Snerdley, I\u2019ve not seen anything like this. I really haven\u2019t. But there\u2019s a first time for everything. Well, apparently this is what the McCain camp thinks. You go out and you praise the opponent; you throw your own team under the bus whenever you have to. You renounce. You denounce. You distance. You can. You fire. You throw all these people on your side. You humiliate them publicly. You throw \u2019em overboard. And you go to the NAALCP convention and praise the opponent. Why go there? Why go there? Obviously if you\u2019re going there, you\u2019re seeking their votes. <\/p>\n<p>Is anybody at the NAALCP going to say, &#8216;You know, Senator McCain came in here, and he had such great things to say about Obama. I think I\u2019ll vote for McCain.\u2019 I don\u2019t see how it works that way. But still, Snerdley, all of that aside, it was a nice thing to do, and you can\u2019t take that away from McCain. It was a nice thing to do. With some people in this country who have been conditioned with conflict resolution and no confrontations whatsoever and that we\u2019ve all gotta get along, there\u2019s some people who will look at Senator McCain here and think, &#8216;Well, this is really nice. I feel so good. Why, the opponent of my candidate actually went to a meeting and praised my candidate. Why, that makes me feel so great. He\u2019s such a nice guy, Senator McCain. It was a very nice thing to do.\u2019 (interruption) Right, I know, Julian Bond called Republicans the Taliban. I understand all this. But McCain is not going to go to the NAALCP and say, &#8216;Do you remember when you called my party the Taliban?\u2019 He\u2019s not going to do that. This is a new campaign. Like you said, you\u2019ve never seen anything like it before. Nor have I. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Senator McCain was in Cincinnati today.
