RUSH: Okay. You have to forgive me here. I was trying to follow you on the transcription. What organization are you talking about that allows its members to act that way?<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Tom in Detroit. You\u2019re next. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, I gotta say, I have a tremendous amount of respect for everything you\u2019ve built, and thank you for letting me be a part of that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, sir. Great to have you here with us.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ll be quick. The problem people have isn\u2019t that they don\u2019t care about part of the population feeling left out, speaking about these social issues. It\u2019s that the actions of the people supporting those agendas goes against what they say they\u2019re trying to do. Examples. In 2016, Hillary says Republicans will take away their voice if she isn\u2019t elected, and then in the next breath she takes away their voice by screwing Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n
And on a smaller scale, if I go on Facebook and I\u2019m of the opinion that black lives and blue lives and all lives deserve love and respect and someone responds to me like I\u2019m the next Hitler, the question is, why would I have anything to do with what they believe if that is how people who already believe that are going to act? I might not know what I want to be, but I know too many poor representatives of that group and see them treating people like garbage to let myself give any credibility to an organization that allows its members to act that way to other people. End of speech.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. You have to forgive me here. I was trying to follow you on the transcription. What organization are you talking about that allows its members to act that way?<\/p>\n
CALLER: The Democrat Party, more or less.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Democrats. Okay. It says up here — help me out — it says on the cheat sheet, it says “not that we don\u2019t care about issues or social reform. We do. We just cannot abide the way people are going about it.” You mean the Democrats?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, exactly. It\u2019s just anybody really, like if you want to be a good representation of your organization and your message is to love other people, you can\u2019t love other people using hateful methods: name-calling, shaming, bullying, all of these things go against what you\u2019re saying you are trying to do in that breath. And when you encourage and allow your own members to represent you in that way and turn a blind eye to it, you do your own organization more harm than good. I think that\u2019s why the middle has shifted away from the left because of what Hillary did to Bernie. That started way back when, and I think it\u2019s continuing now.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, I missed that. You think the middle — you mean the middle class economically or are you talking about —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Just the middle in terms of independents and undecideds.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You think the independents have turned away from the Democrats?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think they\u2019ve shifted further away, yes. And it\u2019s because they\u2019re seeing a disconnect between word, action, and just how people are being treated more from one side than the other. You don\u2019t see the groups of Republicans going out there and holding rallies where things catch on fire.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But here\u2019s the question. I know you think that, but are you projecting? Are you assuming that everybody is reacting to this the way you are? What is your evidence that independents and the great unwashed, great undecided are repulsed by what they\u2019re seeing, say, in Portland or Seattle? Where\u2019s the evidence?<\/p>\n

CALLER: This will be purely anecdotal, and you can take it for what it\u2019s worth. I saw a YouTube ad the other day, and it was Barack Obama, and the first sentence out of his mouth was, “Don\u2019t let them take away your power.” And that\u2019s every headline that\u2019s ever made in the news today. They scare people by saying they\u2019re gonna take away their power. That he has to come right out and say that, to me, is evidence that they know they\u2019re losing the middle.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Your power is being taken away. You have to do what I tell you to do or your power is gonna get taken away. Why are you too dumb to understand this? I\u2019ll come right out and say it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s what I see.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. I understand now. I appreciate the call. Thank you, Tom, very much. I\u2019m flattered you took the time to get through, and I appreciate your opening comments during the call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
