\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is amazing how this kind of stuff works. It was just yesterday on this program that we were talking about the usual scare tactics Democrats use, because there was a story, CNN, Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh did a story on how the Republicans are using fearmongering tactics against Democrats, accusing the Democrats of all these horrible things. And I said, “No, no, no, no. A, it\u2019s not happening. B, it\u2019s the other way around.” It\u2019s the Democrats who are. <\/p>\n

My whole life, every election — yours, too, I\u2019m sure, if you\u2019re paying attention — you\u2019ve heard that the Republicans want to cut Social Security. You\u2019ve heard that the Republicans want to kick old people out of their homes. You\u2019ve heard Republicans want to cut Medicare. You\u2019ve heard Republicans want to cut Medicaid. You\u2019ve heard Republicans want to cut the school lunch program and want your kids to starve. You have heard that the Republicans want your kids to start being given free cigarettes and start smoking and get cancer and die, all to prop up Joe Camel. You\u2019ve heard all of that. That\u2019s how evil the Republicans are. When, in truth, it\u2019s the Democrats who have been projecting and saying all of that. <\/p>\n

And look what we have here, from the National Journal<\/a>: “The Democrats\u2019 Latest Line Of Attack: Hitting Republicans Over Entitlements.” Latest line? This is from a playbook that\u2019s 30 years old. “The Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee will release a new ad today –” that was yesterday, is this Thursday? So there\u2019s a football game tonight. That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right. It\u2019s the Giants and the REDSKINS tonight. How about that. <\/line><\/p>\n

Phil Simms, by the way, color commentary, CBS, they\u2019re gonna be counting the number of times he mistakenly says Redskins \u2019cause he has pledged never to say that word during a telecast. I saw a story. They\u2019re gonna be eagle eyeing it. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if CBS themselves puts a Redskins counter on the screen every time Simms screws up and says “Redskins.” Nah, CBS won\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n

“The Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee will release a new ad –” they did yesterday “– going after GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana over Medicare — the latest in national Democrats\u2019 efforts to attack Republican candidates in top Senate races over entitlements. ‘Bill Cassidy needs to know that seniors are paying attention,\u2019 one woman says in the ad. ‘Seniors are troubled by Bill Cassidy\u2019s vote to raise the eligibility age for Medicare. … terrible idea.'”<\/p>\n

They accuse him of wanting to replace Medicare with a voucher system, want to cut Social Security. Practically predicted this yesterday when we pointed out CNN and AP both had stories about how the Republicans were using politics of fear against Democrats. The claims are nonsense. <\/p>\n

Now, grab audio sound bite number two. It\u2019s not just entitlements, ladies and gentlemen. They\u2019re bringing everything out. They\u2019re going back to all of their surefire victory pages in the playbook, the War on Women and all of that, and now the Congressional Black Caucasians have rallied and are claiming the Republicans are trying to suppress black votes. Again. The Republicans wouldn\u2019t know how to do this! If I were to call anybody, choose a Republican name. Let\u2019s say, I don\u2019t know, let\u2019s just say Boehner. No. Let\u2019s use Cantor \u2019cause he\u2019s not there. I don\u2019t want to put words in anybody\u2019s mouth. Somebody says, “Look, Rush, call Eric Cantor and tell him the only hope is we\u2019ve gotta suppress the black vote.” <\/p>\n

Okay, no problem, dial the phone, “Hi, Eric.” <\/p>\n

“Rush, how are you?”<\/p>\n

“Eric, look, you guys need to get going on this thing to suppress the black vote.” <\/p>\n

“Yeah, okay, how? What do you mean, suppress the black vote?” <\/p>\n

With all the early voting, and all the Jimmy Carter types at all the election places monitoring the vote and all the Democrat ballot box stuffing and the lack of voter ID, I don\u2019t think they would know how to suppress the black vote. But that doesn\u2019t matter. Here is John Lewis during a Congressional Black Caucasian forum on African-American voters in the midterm elections. The panelist, John Lewis, the moderator is the author Jeff Johnson who says, “If there\u2019s one thing all of us need to be doing moving into November, Congressman, what is that one thing?”<\/p>\n

LEWIS: We must stand up and fight and push by going to the polls and vote like we never voted where. We must understand that 50 years ago this year, three young men that I knew gave their lives trying to make it possible for all of our citizens to become participants in the democratic process. If we want to respond to Ferguson, we got to vote! It is powerful. Got to do it. And we must do it. If not, we\u2019re gonna go backwards.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: And what is causing this panic? It has nothing to do with Republicans (interruption) Exactly. There are two things driving this panic from the Congressional Black Caucasians, and it is, A, Obama is not gonna be on the ballot, which was responsible for a huge uptick in black turnout the last two elections. And the second thing, Obama\u2019s approval numbers are in the toilet. The third thing, black unemployment, what, 14%? And in the twenties in teenage black unemployment. <\/p>\n

There are stories all over the place that despite six years of the first African-American presidency, life has not improved for African-Americans in this country. So it\u2019s time to go to the drawing board and somehow blame this mythical Republican voter suppression, \u2019cause they are aware, without Obama on the ballot, turnout is going to be iffy. <\/p>\n

This morning in Washington, the same Congressional Black Caucasian Forum on African-American Voters in the Midterm Elections, here is the NAALCP Legal Defense Fund Spokesman, Elaine Jones.<\/line><\/p>\n

JONES: You remove the African-American president. State level, federal level, it\u2019s all connected. We got myopia! We can\u2019t see anything! We don\u2019t educate ourselves as to what\u2019s going on in our community. Ferguson, Missouri, is an abomination! Sixty-seven percent population and 6% voter turnout? We have been fighting for the right to vote and to hold on to the vote ever since we first got it in 1870. It\u2019s nothing new. It\u2019s always been under attack. When did the Supreme Court decide they were gonna review the Voting Rights Act case? Three days after Obama was elected in 2012. Three days! It\u2019s our individual duty to self-educate? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Who would you rather listen to, that babe or Hillary?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, all this “black turnout” business is so silly. It\u2019s all been caused… If there is a reduction of black turnout, it\u2019s \u2019cause of Obama. I mean, he\u2019s done nothing for them, in their view. I\u2019m talking from their perspective, what their expectations were versus what\u2019s happened, which is nothing. Obama\u2019s a huge disappointment. But nevertheless, there still was a loyalty.<\/p>\n

“Okay, if he\u2019s on the ballot, we\u2019ll show up.”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not gonna be on the ballot, and there\u2019s not a whole lot to excite outside of that. You know, black voter turnout exceeds, as a percentage — not in total number, of course. But black turnout in percentage exceeds white voter turnout even in states with strict ID laws, and this is a claim made by a pundit on here at PolitiFact. <\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t clicked on the link yet, and it\u2019s probably true, but this is just the usual resorting to the old playbook standards that have worked in the past. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
