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

RUSH: Open Line Friday and we head back to the phones. Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh to New Haven, Connecticut. This is Katie, and I\u2019m glad you called. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi. It\u2019s a real thrill to talk to you. <\/p>\n

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

You\u2019ve been part of my family since 1991. I call you my uncle.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I called you because I\u2019ve been on college campuses for about 10 years now, and I\u2019ve been watching trends, you know, sidewalk talk and bumper stickers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hang on just. You\u2019ve been on college campi for 10 years, as a student, as a researcher, as a teacher, what?<\/p>\n

CALLER: For six years I was student. I did my master\u2019s degree on violins, and then I worked, and then I moved back to a college town for no reason. And now I\u2019m at Yale with my husband who\u2019s finishing his PhD.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, cool. You got a master\u2019s degree in violence?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I\u2019m kind of glad you heard that. I like it when people do. “Violin,” the instrument.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, violins. Okay. Strings.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I always like it when people think I say violence.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019m deaf and it sounded very close. I was gonna ask you, are you an expert in handing it out, or studying it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Hmm. Well, ask my brother.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Wait a minute. That would be abuse within the family, and you\u2019re joking about it, Katie. Ah, ah, ah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no, I know, I\u2019m terrible.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I hope James Brown of CBS is not listening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Me, too. Me, too. I\u2019m about to horrify him. So I\u2019ve been seeing these bumper stickers. I saw the ones that were anti-Bush in 2004. I saw the handwriting on the wall when Obama was first gonna win and how funny the font size was on the next bumper sticker. It was a tiny little font like, “Please don\u2019t hurt me, I\u2019m still voting for Obama,” type font. But I\u2019m seeing a new one now, and it confuses me, and I don\u2019t really know what to think about it, so I called for your opinion. I\u2019m seeing the “I\u2019m ready for Hillary” bumper stickers. I don\u2019t know what they want. I don\u2019t know what they think is going to change. But they\u2019re done with Obama. So I want to know what you think about that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, quite a few things, actually, and in light of that I wasn\u2019t gonna use these, but stand by audio sound bites two and three. And, yep, maybe four. The only reason they\u2019re through with Obama is he\u2019s through. I mean, he\u2019s lame-duck. He\u2019s in his last two years. They can\u2019t vote for him again. There\u2019s another factor. Obama is quickly becoming the latest failed utopian-promising liberal. <\/p>\n

Now, one of the psychological characteristics of liberals is that the world is replete with socialism failures. It has never worked. It has never succeeded. Socialism, liberalism, communism, it has never worked, it has never created a utopia. That doesn\u2019t tell them anything. All it does is make them eagerly anticipate the next effort. And so Hillary embodies the next chance to finally get it right and to show it can work. Now, Hillary is chosen specifically for a whole host of reasons. A, she was denied in 2008 in an unfair sort of backhanded way out of the blue. <\/p>\n

It was hers. She was to be coronated, and it ended up, so now it\u2019s her turn. Then there\u2019s a second facet of this. I\u2019m convinced that the Democrats want to nominate the first female president and then after that the first Hispanic so they can capitalize on no president being criticized without being called either a sexist or racist or bigot. They\u2019ve learned that with the first black president no criticism is permitted. The critics are called racists and so the critics shut up. They\u2019re angling for the same thing with Mrs. Clinton, first female president, can\u2019t criticize her, you\u2019re a sexist if you do. A caller called C-SPAN today. Mike Barone was a guest. A caller called C-SPAN and asked him this question.<\/p>\n

C-SPAN CALLER: Rush Limbaugh stated on his program earlier this week something about the Democrats are gonna run Hillary and then they\u2019re gonna run a Hispanic in 2020. Well, we need to trump that and say, “We got excellent Hispanics and our party that want to do this.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Michael Barone\u2019s answer, first of two sound bites.<\/p>\n

BARONE: One of the things that helped Barack Obama win the presidency in 2008 and win reelection in 2012, in my judgment, was there\u2019s a widespread feeling in the country, including a majority of Americans I think, including many who didn\u2019t vote for him, that is the general proposition it would be a good thing for the country to elect a black president. My judgment is that that worked in President Obama\u2019s favor.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

BARONE: I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s gonna work as much for, quote, somebody that would be, quote, the first woman. I\u2019m not sure that it would work so much for somebody that would be the first, quote, Hispanic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And Barone continued.<\/p>\n

BARONE: It\u2019s a mistake to say, as some Republican and conservative analysts do, that Hispanics are natural conservatives. People from Mexican or Puerto Rican backgrounds are not necessarily gonna be attracted by somebody like Senator Cruz or Senator Rubio, both of whom come from Cuban backgrounds and have families with quite a different history of involvement in the United States and immigration there, too, so I don\u2019t think nominating a Hispanic candidate is as much of a cure-all for Republicans as the caller suggests.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, on that point, “I don\u2019t think conservative Hispanics are natural conservatives” as the Republican Party has been — the reason they tell us that is so we\u2019ll go along with amnesty, but I don\u2019t believe it. I think he\u2019s exactly right about that. But I think he is dangerously incorrect in not correctly assessing why identity politics matters so much to the Democrats. I think Hillary, as the first female immune to any criticism, the historic nature, is something that they want to parlay and then they want to get a Hispanic. There\u2019s no question. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question at all about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
