Cris Collinsworth interviewed Kobe Bryant, the US &#8216;Redeem Team\u2019 star at the Olympics, and Collinsworth said, &#8216;Where does the patriotism come from inside of you? Historically what&#8230;?\u2019 Oh, speaking of inside of you, somebody needs to ask Senator Obama: When did his two daughters get their human rights? &#8216;Senator, when did your two daughters get their human rights?\u2019 Any of you in the Drive-By Media willing to ask him that question? <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Kobe Bryant\u2019s answer to Cris Collinsworth\u2019s question about patriotism.<\/p>\n<p>BRYANT: Well, you know, it\u2019s just our country is, we believe, the greatest country in the world. It\u2019s given us so many great opportunities, and it\u2019s just a sense of pride that you have, that you say, &#8216;You know what? Our country is the best.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" class=\"alignright\"\/>COLLINSWORTH: Is that a cool thing to say in this day and age, that you love your country and that you\u2019re fighting for the red, white, and blue? It seems like sort of a day gone by.<\/p>\n<p>BRYANT: Nah, it\u2019s a cool thing for me to say. You know, I feel great about it and I\u2019m not ashamed to say it. This is a tremendous honor.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, I don\u2019t want to cause any harm or damage here to Cris Collinsworth. I really don\u2019t, \u2019cause aside from his going overboard week after week after week on the Donovan McNabb event regarding my comments on ESPN, he\u2019s generally been a pretty down-the-middle conservative guy. Yet, something has to inform his question here: &#8216;Is it a cool thing to say in this day and age that you love your country and you\u2019re fighting for the red, white, and blue?\u2019 Cris, what parties are you going to? Who are you hanging out with? This is sad. Who are you hanging out with? Where has Collinsworth got any idea here that it\u2019s uncool to espouse your patriotism? No, he\u2019s not. (interruption) He does not deal with the NBA, Snerdley. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s in the NFL. He does the NFL. Now, he does hang around with Bob Costas and some of these other libs at NBC, but before that, he was with Fox, and they\u2019re not a bunch of libs over there. I mean, some of them at the Fox network are, but where did it happen? Do any of you feel it is something you have to whisper, that you love your country? I didn\u2019t know we\u2019d gotten to this point where you don\u2019t really admit red, white, and blue are for you. Something had to inform this question, and it\u2019s media, media buddies and people you\u2019re hanging out with. By the way, I hate to say this, but that\u2019s something that Obama would say. <\/p>\n<p>Obama is over practicing this very philosophy: &#8216;No, we\u2019re not going to say great things about America. We\u2019re going to admit we\u2019re imperfect when we\u2019re in Berlin and we\u2019re going to tell little seven-year-olds who ask me why I want to be president, &#8216;Why, because this country is not what it once was.\u2019 We are going to be critical of this country. That\u2019s what\u2019s cool! That\u2019s what\u2019s honest.\u2019 Somebody that he\u2019s hanging around with has informed him of this particular view, ladies and gentlemen. Thank God for Kobe Bryant. I mean, he could have cowed here. He could have cowed, &#8216;Oh, really? Whoa, whoa.\u2019 But I guarantee you, this is going to help Kobe Bryant in endorsement deals, it\u2019s going to help him in a number of other aspects of his life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I mentioned this earlier.
