RUSH: We\u2019ll start on the phones here in Port Byron, Illinois. Sherry, thank you for waiting. You\u2019re up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Mega dittos. I just want to know if your listeners and just the rest of the country has fury over the fact that our president chose to be advised by a communist. Van Jones is a communist, and his divisive speeches were not unknown to President Obama. Just because he wasn\u2019t vetted by Congress doesn\u2019t mean that Obama didn\u2019t know who he was dealing with. He selected this man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, that\u2019s why I said at the beginning of the program in talking about this, Van Jones is Obama. Van Jones was not vetted. He was a czar, and the czars are not vetted. They don\u2019t have to fill out the questionnaire. Nobody knows what they get paid. They work directly for Obama. Valerie Jarrett, who is at Obama\u2019s right hand, as close as she can get with Michelle sitting there watching, is the woman who picked out Van Jones. And Obama knew who he was, and he\u2019s an avowed communist and so forth. Obama\u2019s mentor was an avowed communist, Bill Ayers. You know, it\u2019s a tough thing to say because people don\u2019t want to believe this about their president. They just don\u2019t want to believe it. It\u2019s going to take more and more Obama actions for this to be clearly seen. And then you\u2019ve got State-Run Media, which refuses to report on any of this, until the resignation happens, then they go after right-wingers for making it happen. ‘We gotta find out who these people are, we\u2019re going to investigate these people,\u2019 and so forth. And that\u2019s because they hate us as much as they love and support Obama\u2019s agenda. Defeating us and keeping us from being influential is as important to them as advancing Obama\u2019s agenda is. <\/p>\n

So my point to people is that Van Jones is Obama is Van Jones. There\u2019s another Van Jones at the FCC, the diversity czar there, Mark Lloyd. He\u2019s another one of these people. Valerie Jarrett is one of these people. A lot of these czars, Ron Bloom from the Service Employees International Union, who is the car czar and is now the manufacturing jobs czar. They are Obama. Well, yes, I\u2019m frustrated about it, Snerdley. Snerdley asked if I\u2019m frustrated about it because I warned people about this during the campaign. Yeah, it is what it is. I also know that people don\u2019t want to believe this kind of thing about their president. If Obama is sounding like a god and a messiah during the campaign and somebody\u2019s out there saying, ‘Don\u2019t be fooled by this, folks, we\u2019re dealing here with a hard-core leftist radical who wants to basically overthrow this country\u2019s institutions,\u2019 people don\u2019t want to hear it. And then you\u2019ve got the State-Run Media out there, ‘Limbaugh is just a creep, just a kook, just da-da-da-da-da.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So, yeah, I get a little frustrated by it \u2019cause I\u2019m not surprised that guys like Van Jones end up at the White House, I\u2019m not surprised that guys like Mark Lloyd are over the FCC. I\u2019m not surprised that hardcore leftist radicals have been appointed to positions with no accountability. They do not have to undergo Senate confirmation. I\u2019m not surprised at all. I mentioned to you that I was invited by President Bush on my birthday, January 12th, to go have lunch, a farewell lunch at the White House. And he told me he\u2019s going to have all these czars and they\u2019re not going to be accountable to anybody. Bush told me this on January 12th, and I came back and I told you this, ‘He\u2019s going to have all these czars,\u2019 and how did Bush know? Obama told him. Obama told him he\u2019s gonna go the czar route. Obama\u2019s not intimidated by anything. He\u2019s not intimidated by people knowing what he\u2019s going to do. People don\u2019t want to believe it. They have to see it and they\u2019re starting to see it now. <\/p>\n

And, you know, there\u2019s another thing, too. I keep hearing, like on my golf trip, I can\u2019t escape this. I went out with like-minded guys, and even these guys were saying, ‘Rush, it\u2019s not going to matter, the media still says what the media says and the media still doing this, and media still portrays you as a wacko, most people think you\u2019re a wacko, and we\u2019re never going to make any headway here.\u2019 I said, ‘When was the last time you watched ABC\u2019s World News Tonight with Charlie Gibson?\u2019 ‘Well, I never watch it.\u2019 ‘When\u2019s the last time you watched the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric other than when I\u2019m on it? ‘I haven\u2019t seen it a long time.\u2019 ‘When\u2019s the last time you watched the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams?\u2019 ‘Well, I don\u2019t want to watch it.\u2019 The audiences for these shows are down the tubes. Fewer and fewer people are watching. Now, the New York Times audience, they don\u2019t know about Van Jones, if that\u2019s all they read and there are some people who still watch the evening newscasts, but I guarantee you they\u2019re trending upward in the age demographic, but they\u2019re not the all-powerful monolith that they used to be. And I think it\u2019s incumbent on people to understand here that progress is being made and there\u2019s reasons for optimism, but it\u2019s not a time to let down your guard. <\/p>\n

When I say these people are going to govern against the will of the people, it\u2019s not just these people, it\u2019s liberals forever. Clinton had to govern against the will of the people to get what he wanted. They all do. Liberals cannot ever be honest about their agenda. They cannot ever be honest about what they\u2019re going to do. They always have to use conservative language to advance their ideas. This is not a leftist radical country. It is not a country that\u2019s in Obama\u2019s image. The only thing is he doesn\u2019t care about that. Most politicians who wanted to go down in history as great would understand what the people want, understand when they\u2019ve overreached and govern accordingly, that\u2019s what Republican politicians tend to do. With Obama, it doesn\u2019t matter to him. In fact, I\u2019m going to keep saying this \u2019til I\u2019m blue in the face, all this chaos, all this unemployment, all this worsening economic news, it\u2019s by design! It is necessary. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
