RUSH: Let\u2019s grab call on line one right now \u2019cause I want to use this to segue into the next audio sound bite from the Reverend Jackson. This is Larry in Winter Park, Florida. Larry, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. First-time caller, occasional listener.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I first have a question to you not pertaining to your show but basically something I heard a little earlier: The NAALCP. I was very curious about that and I was just wondering if you can fill me in on exactly what does that means.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. It\u2019s the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Can you be a little bit more specific?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want more specificity? Okay. The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People, for example, is terribly opposed to Justice Clarence Thomas, who is — um, uh — a ‘colored person.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: African-American. Okay. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: African-American? Well, I agree but they all themselves the National Association for the Advancement of ‘Colored\u2019 People. So I was trying to be consistent. <\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s all colors, Rush. You do know that. That means all colors, but go ahead. I didn\u2019t mean to interrupt you. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you mean…? I didn\u2019t know this. The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People is for all ‘peoples of color\u2019?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no, the part ‘of color\u2019 means all people of color.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you mean when they were chartered back in 1909 that they were including Asians and Hispanics and all peoples of color when they were first chartered?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wasn\u2019t there back then, back in the day, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know the vast majority of the people that founded the NAALCP were white.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Really?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. It\u2019s not arguable. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I did not know that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean, facts are facts and sometimes are disappointing things, but the vast majority of the founders of the NAALCP were white. They were Caucasian.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s a color. All right. Well, Mr. Limbaugh, thank you very much. You\u2019ve answered my question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. I\u2019m happy to. Do you have any more? I\u2019m on a roll here. Do you have any more questions? I love answering questions! I love it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You crack me up, Mr. Limbaugh, but thanks very much. (chuckling) Have a good day, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Larry, let me ask you a question before you go.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Has the NAALCP ever supported a conservative candidate for office, black or white?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I really wouldn\u2019t know that offhand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I do, and the answer is no, and that\u2019s why I put the ‘L\u2019 in there, to be specific about who they are: The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People. And if you want say liberal Mexico City and liberal Hispanics and liberal Chinese and Japanese, fine. You can include them in there, too, but they gotta be liberal for that organization to support \u2019em. You can be African-American and conservative and they will work to defeat you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm. Interesting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So they\u2019re not for the advancement of ‘colored people.\u2019 They are for the advancement of liberals.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So hence that\u2019s where you get the liberals. Okay, I got you, Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. That\u2019s where I get the liberal. That\u2019s why I put the ‘L\u2019 in NAALCP.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Got it. Sir, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. Happy to help. See? Just proves: If there\u2019s something you don\u2019t understand, ask it. There\u2019s no such thing as a dumb question. He didn\u2019t know what it stood for; now he does. He didn\u2019t know why I put that in there. Now he does. Speaking of which, one of the revered and august members of the NAALCP is the well known Reverend Jackson who, on CNN\u2019s Newsroom Saturday was interviewed by T.J. Holmes. And T.J. Holmes said, ‘The title of the song is Lift Every Voice and Sing. It\u2019s been around since 1900. But when you label something a ‘black national anthem,\u2019 then in fact you\u2019re doing something that\u2019s discriminatory and divisive some say. Do you agree with that?\u2019 This is all about the Reverend Jackson wants a black national anthem.<\/p>\n

JACKSON: To me it does not stand to reason. I mean, songs rooted in our unique slavery experience, our unique Jim Crow experience, and in a song of as if (sic) We Shall Overcome. ‘God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way,\u2019 what are we describing, ‘who\u2019s been brought safely along the way\u2019 except the black experience? I was talking with a group this week of Latino leaders who are concerned that they are trying to remove ethnic studies in Arizona. The attempt to excerpt (sic) ethnic studies in school, the attempt to excerpt the tape that drew about the Shirley Sherrod challenge this week —<\/p>\n

HOLMES: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

JACKSON — we should not excerpt history; we should include history, and it is the richness… The multiculturalism is the richness and the genius of American experience.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He misspoke there. He keeps using ‘excerpt,\u2019 when he meant ‘exclude.\u2019 But there you have it: The Reverend Jackson wants a black national anthem. ‘God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way,\u2019 I\u2019m reminded of Mrs. Clinton, at the ceremony commemorating Selma. (screeching impression), ‘I ain\u2019t no ways tiiiiiired,\u2019 she said. Obama also showed up at that celebration and in the ‘Negro dialect\u2019 said it some of it made him who he is but just yesterday Maureen Dowd in the New York Times said he\u2019s not black enough, and they don\u2019t have enough real black people in the administration. Now, I know all this is funny, but it\u2019s also ludicrous. We\u2019re supposed to be past all of this with the election of Obama. We\u2019re supposed to be unified and happy. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, ladies and gentlemen, the Reverend Jackson wants a black national anthem. I\u2019ve been thinking about this during the commercial break. This is not a black national anthem, certainly not, but we do have a song that might suffice as a national anthem for the Reverend Jackson, Diana Ross and the Supremes. <\/p>\n

(Love Child by the Supremes) <\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, that makes the point, the Reverend Jackson national anthem: Diana Ross and the Supremes, Love Child. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
