RUSH: A.J. in Houston, A.J. thanks for waiting. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Big time Rush, man, I\u2019m glad to talk to you, baby. I hadn\u2019t talked to you since January when we was trying to warn the people about Obama, and I\u2019m appalled because at my age, race relations was beautiful as we got everything back going in America, and this president and his cronies that\u2019s around him has set us back 50 years. I\u2019m going to say 50 —<\/p>\n

RUSH: How so?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — because of the fact that this man has undermined what black people are trying to do. Of course, you know, there\u2019s a such — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second, A.J., how has President Obama set back race relations 50 years? I want to hear your theory on this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because, Rush, as a black man, I didn\u2019t vote for him, but I am proud to see that black folk finally got up there to the White House. But, Rush, when you get there, do something with it, don\u2019t just stand around and laugh and joke and loll it up. Get something done, man. Go in these neighborhoods and get these people together.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, A.J., he\u2019s destroying the private sector, he\u2019s doing quite a bit out there, my man.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s just not standing around Joe Cool smoking a cigarette having a cocktail.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s doing the opposite of what I would love to see. Don\u2019t he know if he did that and made the world better, get jobs, and I say that again, jobs for the so-called people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, A.J., you missed the last story. It\u2019s good that people aren\u2019t hiring, I have it here in the New York Times.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know! I know! And I love your sarcasm. But, Rush, I am living it, of what this man is doing to our economy. He\u2019s taking America down! Is this treason or what? Him and these media people, it\u2019s treason what they doing to America. I\u2019m just a common, everyday person, and I know it don\u2019t take what he doing to run this country. I can do better than that. He came in on Bush\u2019s one trillion. Why don\u2019t you doggone give a tax cut to the big man? I don\u2019t care about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You mess with the big man, they going to move their businesses. You ever see a poor man giving anybody a job, Rush? Never! So why you messing with the big man? Calm down, give the big man, middleman, little man a tax cut, we\u2019d have been out of that deal with Bush and (unintelligible), and it was a good trillion because Pelosi and them was with Bush two years and never signed nothing, and now they want to act like they signing everything. <\/p>\n

You know what? And Bush may (unintelligible) get Pelosi for that and he didn\u2019t get the media, and the media, it\u2019s treason what they doing to this country. ABC, CBS, NBC, all them, why are they on the air? They doing us no service. They doing this country a disservice right now. Fox News is the only one giving you both sides of the story. What is wrong with these people in America? And black folk, you done lost your mind. Wake up and smell what this man giving you. It\u2019s not what it seems, people. If you don\u2019t wake up and go to work every morning you ain\u2019t going to get nothing. Don\u2019t stand around with your hand out waiting for somebody to give you something. Get these kids in school, get their pants on their butts, teach \u2019em something. If you don\u2019t like what school is doing, go somewhere else. But, Rush, this man can get on the air right now and tell everybody — and Carter, he needs to go somewhere and sit down \u2019cause he just started this junk all over again —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He can\u2019t sit down, he\u2019s a hemorrhoid.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, Rush, he\u2019s hurting the black folks with this racial game. I\u2019m so sorry. The good black folks at work every day and do things to make their kids be prosperous. My kid is in college. He\u2019s coming out, what the heck is he gonna come out, too? And then if I was a white man, if I see a black man come in my office, I wouldn\u2019t touch him because of the fact I don\u2019t know what his ideology is with what these people are doing right now. And that\u2019s just a bad thing to say, because I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do. Rush, this man is killing the black folk, man. We had it going on. We had it going on, and now I don\u2019t know what to say, black folks running around think stuff don\u2019t stink cuz Obama\u2019s in office. Rush, I\u2019m so sick of it. Black folk, wake up. The smart ones, wake up. Don\u2019t follow this man off the cliff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is A.J. in Houston who is — <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — not a jackass.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look here. This ought to be at least fairness and balance to A.J. in Houston. Here is Lorraine X from San Diego. Lorraine X, welcome back to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. It\u2019s been a while. You know, Rush, um, you conservative Republicans have spent months calling President Obama a Marxist, a socialist, a Nazi, tyrannical —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ugh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — for months now — Just hold on. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait just a second, now, Lorraine X. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh huh?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Marxist, socialist, fascist, yes. I never called him a Nazi. That\u2019s what his people are calling us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, okay. Okay. Well, and — and what you did for months now you\u2019ve played the race card calling President Obama a racist. Remember all the discussion over Glenn Beck — who, by the way, is an actual racist — calling President Obama a racist? So why don\u2019t you tell me: Who introduced racism into this thing first if it wasn\u2019t conservatives? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Uhhh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Who?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait. Uhhhhhhm. Lorraine X, I\u2019m trying to — <\/p>\n

CALLER: (interrupting)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m trying to remember. Wait just a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Glenn Beck called him a racist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lorraine X, will you just chill? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I know Glenn said he doesn\u2019t like white people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t remember if I\u2019ve called him a racist. I know I\u2019ve said that he\u2019s got a racist chip on his shoulder. I think he\u2019s an angry guy. I think the Constitution ticks him off.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You introduced race into this thing. You introduced it some time ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The bottom line here, Lorraine X, is it\u2019s the truth. The things that we\u2019re saying here are the truth. This man and his agents are out there distorting the mind-set and the opinions of decent Americans, and they\u2019ve been doing it. This is how this man is running against the American people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wait a minute, hold on. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, okay you\u2019re saying that if the truth and he\u2019s a racist. Are you telling me that it is not the truth when Jimmy Carter said? Tell me what was a lie about what Jimmy Carter stated about racism in this country. What\u2019s the lie now?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very simple. Did you hear A.J. from Houston?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I heard that Stepin Fetchit. By the way, he\u2019s a illegal joke!<\/p>\n

RUSH: A.J. from Houston is somebody you need to listen to because race relations have been set back 50 years because of what this president is allowing to happen in his name with Jimmy Carter, the national hemorrhoid getting out there and entering this fray. The opposition to Obama is not based on race, Lorraine.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He didn\u2019t say ‘all of it,\u2019 Rush. That\u2019s the problem. That\u2019s a problem. He didn\u2019t say ‘all of it.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. I think Jimmy Carter is just as bad and just as incompetent as Obama is. Does it make me a racist?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Incompetent?<\/p>\n

RUSH: How can it be that I am racist when I say that about Obama but not racist when I say it about Carter? The disagreement that people have with Barack Obama is sub-stan-tive, Lorraine. It is based on real things that he is doing and destroying in the private sector. Race has nothing to do with this. People love their country! I predicted all of this. I predicted everything that\u2019s happening. I said, ‘It\u2019s going to get to the point…\u2019 Because people called me and said, ‘Rush, Rush, Rush? Don\u2019t you think electing a black president will end racism, get over the hump there?\u2019 I said, ‘No, no, no. You don\u2019t understand the race business. It\u2019s going to get worse. The race hustlers, the race industry is going to grow. Any criticism of Obama will eventually be said to be racist.\u2019 It\u2019s happening right before our very eyes. It\u2019s not a racist country, Lorraine. It\u2019s not 1864; it\u2019s not 1964. It\u2019s time you woke up. We\u2019ll be back. Stay with us.<\/p>\n
