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

RUSH: Our affiliate in St. Louis, KMOX, has just reported that the Ferguson police chief, Tom Jackson, has told them at KMOX that the name of the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown will not be released for the foreseeable future. I think there was a press conference that was scheduled for two o\u2019clock this afternoon where they were gonna announce the name of the officer, and they have changed their minds. <\/p>\n

They will not announce the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown for the foreseeable future, at least until he is either compelled to by a judge — this is the police chief — or if there are charges filed against the cop, in which case they will release the name. The police chief, Tom Jackson, “says this is due to death threats called into the police department and posted on social media. Jackson also says there are social media rumors swirling with a name of Ferguson police officer, but this is not the name of the officer involved.” The name that is circulating in social media is not accurate. <\/line><\/p>\n

“Some commentators on online news stories are posting photos claiming that they are the children of the Ferguson police officer, and Jackson says they are not.” This will probably further exacerbate tensions in Ferguson and the entire St. Louis area. This kind of thing is just so sad when it happens, it\u2019s so unnecessary, and it\u2019s such a setback. It is such a tragedy. I don\u2019t know, folks. I don\u2019t quite know how to describe the feeling I have over this incident. It has nothing to do with the fact that I\u2019m from Missouri, near St. Louis, two hours away is where I grew up. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just that these kind of circumstances — I am perhaps a genuinely colorblind person. And I resent, as you know, politics of identity. Racial politics, group identity, victim politics, all this, I just despise it. We\u2019re all human beings and we\u2019re all Americans and we all ought to be treated and approached and dealt with that way. Instead, we are divided or we divide ourselves into groups. The Democrat Party has come along — which runs this town, by the way. They may not want to hear it. St. Louis is run by Democrats. So are a lot of other cities with these kinds of urban problems. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a shame that while all this is going on the president\u2019s busy vacationing in Martha\u2019s Vineyard, \u2019cause otherwise he\u2019d be able to solve this. I mean, he was elected to make sure this kind of thing didn\u2019t happen. It\u2019s what they hoped. A lot of people voted for Obama thinking that his election, the election of the first black president, would bring an end to this. And, sadly, it has not. So we will keep a sharp eye on this. <\/p>\n

The looting is going on. So much of it doesn\u2019t — in one sense it\u2019s understandable. You have people fanning the flames of this to keep it alive because the race business is profitable, and it makes people very powerful, and it keeps them in the public eye. That\u2019s another sad element to this. <\/p>\n

So we\u2019ll just have to wait and see. The FBI is in. The attorney general, Eric Holder, is getting involved in this, which is — well, we\u2019ll just wait and see. It\u2019s just a tragedy.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A couple of sound bites. I meant to get to these in the opening segment about what\u2019s going on in Ferguson, Missouri. First up from Anderson Cooper 290. Wolf Blitzer was filling in last night. He spoke to the attorney Benjamin Crump, who is representing the family of Michael Brown, the teenager shot and killed by the cop in Ferguson. Wolf Blitzer said, “Benjamin, I know earlier today you said that Michael\u2019s parents deserve a fair, transparent, and efficient investigation. Are you satisfied with the way this case is being handled, at least so far?”<\/p>\n

CRUMP: We think there\u2019s a lot more to be desired. I\u2019ve talked to many of my colleagues in the National Bar Association — even the president, Pamela Meanes, who lives here in St. Louis, Missouri — and what they believe over and over again is we need a complete, independent investigation by the Justice Department because there\u2019s such distrust by the community to the local law enforcement. And this situation has just exacerbated that, Wolf.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: It may well be. May well be. You know what strikes me about this, folks? The real sad thing, aside from — well, in addition to — the fact that this young man was shot and killed, is that this sounds like any sound bite that we would play from the last 50 years. And so will the next sound bite sound exactly like any sound bite on any situation or story like this for the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been any change. <\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been any improvement.<\/p>\n

This is not just a slap at Obama, although I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s irrelevant to point out that so many people voted with such hope for Barack Obama, specifically believing that things like this would no longer happen. (interruption) Well, if you doubt me, you\u2019ve heard the term “postracial.” What do you think it means? Who invented it? Well, in the modern usage, the media invented the phrase “postracial” to describe what the election of Obama would be. <\/p>\n

Obama supporters were out saying the same thing during the campaign. “We\u2019re looking forward to a postracial, postpartisan country! We\u2019re gonna end partisanship.” That “post” meant that after Obama, partisanship goes away. “Postracial” means “Racial strife in America is going to finally be in our past. The election of Barack Obama is gonna bring about an end to this because that election alone will make a statement that says this country has moved beyond the racial strife that has plagued us since our founding.” <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the sad thing: Nothing\u2019s changed. Despite this apparent historic election. This is the man who campaigned on the basis that he was the agency of this change, and he had this phrase “hope and change,” that people genuinely bought into. A lot of people. Millions of people voted for one reason: To end the racial strife that exists in this country. They believed!<\/p>\n

They believed that the election of the first black president would facilitate this move to a postracial society, and it hasn\u2019t happened — and, of course, it couldn\u2019t happen. No single election is going to fix problems like this. An election of someone of a specific race is mere symbolism when stacked up against problems that are entrenched as deeply as this one is in this country, but yet so many people hoped. <\/p>\n

And the recipient of that hope knew very well that millions of people were investing that hope in him, and he parlayed that. He used it. He told them they were right to make that investment. He told them that “hope and change” was real, that it was gonna happen. They were gonna get rid of all this horrible stuff in the past. No more Iraq wars, no more recessions, no more world hating us, no more rising sea levels. <\/p>\n

You know the drill. No more hatred. People were gonna come together in a new commonality. He rode it all the way to victory, and it turned out that this president\u2019s no different than any other in this regard, and may be somewhat worse. Here is another sound bite. It\u2019s from CNN last night, Don Lemon on CNN Tonight (a different show, not Anderson Cooper 290). <\/p>\n

He\u2019s speaking with a CNN correspondent, Jason Carroll, about the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and Lemon says, “Take us inside, if you will, Jason. Take us right there. Take us, if you will, to the crime scene. I understand that you went there today to the crime scene. What did you learn, Jason?”<\/p>\n

CARROLL: I was speaking to a young man. He said, “I go to school, I obey the law, and yet when I come in and out of my community I\u2019m constantly stopped by the police,” and this is a theme that I heard over and over again. And basically what everyone was telling me is that what happened to Michael Brown was really the tipping point for many members of this community, when this happened to him. That is why you heard so much anger which had been bubbling for quite some period of time. What I really got a sense of is this feeling of distrust between the police department and the community here.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I mean, we heard that during the OJ trial. We heard that during the Rodney King trial and event. We heard that back in 1967 with Watts. We\u2019ve heard sound bites like this, complaints like this all of our lives. You take that sound bite from last night and you could put it back in 1967. It would sound right on the dime. <\/p>\n

You take that sound bite, put it back in 1992\/93 with Rodney King, same thing; you wouldn\u2019t know. Nothing has changed. We have not gotten this postracial America we were promised after the election in 2008, and we\u2019re not finished hearing this report. This report\u2019s gonna happen over and over again, because the sad thing is that I think these situations have actually been exacerbated and made even more tense. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: These calls are about Ferguson, Missouri, and I want to take them now since they are very close in proximity from when we discussed it rather than an hour from now or whatever it would be when so much time has passed. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start in St. Louis with Susan. Great to have you, and welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you for having me on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First of all, I want to say, by no means am I condoning what happened with the shooting. I think this has gotten so pushed in front of the media, and it\u2019s, you know, an isolated incident, to come back and now we have Trayvon Martin\u2019s attorney over here. This rioting and everything, what you were just saying about President Obama and what you have said so many times about the entitlement. These rioters and these people that are inciting the riots and are loitering and robbing and stealing and pillaging their entire community in which they live, they live in this community, they are stealing from the community. <\/p>\n

They are stealing from the people that employ them, and they are burning down their own communities because they feel so angry and they are entitled to this. They have a right to go crash through windows and steal. They have a right to crash through more windows and steal phones. And then they\u2019re putting it on Facebook. They\u2019re putting it Twitter, on Craigslist. They\u2019re proud of what they\u2019re doing. They\u2019re proud of themselves. Two weeks ago or a week ago, the big news here in St. Louis was a grandmother who was gunned down in the road with random bullets, a drive-by shooting. She was walking back with her grandchildren. The NAACP didn\u2019t come then. It was a shooting against —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: The NAACP has yet to show up in Chicago, either.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. They\u2019re just here. I was so appalled yesterday because they showed the mother of this child. When it first happened, Saturday, the news was there, everyone\u2019s so upset because this boy was left in the road for four hours. Well, they couldn\u2019t get to him. They couldn\u2019t process the crime scene because people were rioting then. The police came in and were trying to do their job, and they wouldn\u2019t let them. It\u2019s a matter of respect. Until people respect themselves, and what they\u2019re doing, and want to work to better themselves, it\u2019s not going to change, no matter who\u2019s in the White House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, do you believe the old adage that behavior is learned?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You do?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do. And this is a learned behavior. Yesterday on my way home I was listening to the KMOX person there —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s good. That\u2019s good. KMOX is a great station. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. And I was listening to the speech from, I believe it was the lawyer that is now representing them, the family of Michael Brown, and they were talking about the angry black man. And I\u2019m like, you\u2019re angry? I\u2019m like, I get angry, too. I get angry sometimes a lot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the thing, though. The reason I asked you if you believe in learned behavior, because there are two ways to look at this. Pick any left-wing, well-known person in the world that you know, have \u2019em sitting here next to me, just get whoever you want to name and I could tell you what they would say to me in explaining this. They would say it\u2019s justified because this is the tradition that they have known since this country was founded, and they\u2019d trace it all the way back to slavery. They would say that this is one of the original sins of this country, and we\u2019re just gonna have to understand the rage. We\u2019re gonna have to understand it, that this kind of thing is, what do you expect. That would be the liberal argument here, because —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — the country is flawed inherently, which is what leads to this, and therefore there is an excuse. There is an excuse that they accept to explain this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I think that\u2019s terrible. That\u2019s disrespectful. I think these people deserve more than that. Than excuses? And they deserve more. You know, don\u2019t make excuses for your poor choices, for your poor judgment calls —<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t think they have any other choices. <\/p>\n

CALLER: They do have choices. They choose to go and improve their lives, and no one is going to make that happen until they decide to make that happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: It is possible.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what happens when you put people in a group and then call them victims.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And they\u2019re not victims. They\u2019re victims of themselves.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Doesn\u2019t matter. They think — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re victims of Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. Al Sharpton tells \u2019em they\u2019re victims. Jesse Jackson\u2019s told \u2019em his whole life they\u2019re victims. The Trayvon Martin attorney is telling them they\u2019re victims and the Trayvon Martin story tells \u2019em they\u2019re victims. That\u2019s why I asked you about learned behavior.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It is a very learned behavior. It is a cycle that has continued for generations.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Precisely. This is why I — you know, I know a lot of people, “Come on, Rush, can\u2019t you do any better than talk about Obama?” No, no, no. Don\u2019t say that to me. We had a presidential race in 2008 where we were assured that if we elected the right guy, this kind of stuff wasn\u2019t gonna be happening anymore, or it would happen much, much less because we were gonna go post-racial and we were finally gonna make a statement that we\u2019re no longer racist \u2019cause we had the ability in this country to elect, with a majority white population, a black president. It was supposed to say something. And look, it hasn\u2019t made anybody happier. It hasn\u2019t made anybody less victimized. It hasn\u2019t changed anybody\u2019s outlook on their future at all.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. And I think it\u2019s created a lot more social distress and unrest among these black communities, because their lives are not better. What has happened has not improved their lives, and they\u2019re still stuck in the same cycle.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I know what you\u2019re saying. What you\u2019re saying is very close to the point — and I\u2019ve tried to make it many times, and I really tried to zone in on it when I made that speech at CPAC, when I defined the people in what I considered to be my first address to the nation, what we as conservatives are, who we as conservatives are. And it\u2019s the truth. We don\u2019t see people as members of groups, and we don\u2019t want to. We don\u2019t want to be forced to, we don\u2019t want to have to. We don\u2019t want to be told the first thing we have to notice about something is what makes \u2019em different. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to be told that what makes America great is its diversity and that\u2019s defined by skin color. We don\u2019t want to believe that. We\u2019re all human beings! We\u2019re all people! And I can speak for every conservative I know: We want the best for everybody, and we want this kind of stuff brought to a screeching halt. This isn\u2019t good for anybody. The problem is incidents like this are good for some people. That\u2019s the problem. <\/p>\n

We all know who we\u2019re talking about here. There are some people who do not want these kinds of incidents to ever go away because that means a problem solved, and if the problem solved then there\u2019s no need for these people anymore, and that\u2019s just a crying shame. <\/p>\n

The route out of poverty or disadvantage, the route out is hard work. The route out is self-belief. The route out is self-respect, all these things, but these are learned behaviors as well. And when you mention things like that, when I mention things like this, liberals and Democrats get very snarky and say, “Well, that\u2019s easy for you to say.” <\/p>\n

I say, “Why is it easy for me to say? What\u2019s wrong with what I\u2019m saying? Will you stop trying to characterize? You know, what\u2019s wrong with what I\u2019m saying? What\u2019s wrong with having some self-respect? What\u2019s wrong with loving yourself? What\u2019s wrong for realizing you live in America, the land of great, free opportunity. What\u2019s wrong with everybody realizing that?” <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all got obstacles we have to overcome, some worse than others, but people from every group in this country have shown it can be done, it\u2019s possible. I think what we\u2019re dealing with here ultimately is what\u2019s been called the soft bigotry of low expectations. We as conservatives want the best for everybody, and we have the expectation that it\u2019s possible, and that\u2019s not pie-in-the-sky. We believe it because we\u2019re Americans. And in America that\u2019s possible, and that\u2019s why, by the way, so many of us are so distressed with the election of Obama, because Obama does not see America that way. <\/p>\n

Obama sees an America where only 1% have a chance, and the game\u2019s rigged for the other 99%. It\u2019s not true! The soft bigotry of low expectations. When you tell people from the youngest age that the deck is stacked against \u2019em and that they don\u2019t have a chance because the game\u2019s rigged, because the power structure is such that people like them will never be admitted, then you are…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sad thing to tell people you don\u2019t expect them to amount to anything. That\u2019s horrible! It\u2019s an absolute… It\u2019s a near crime. We all ought to have the highest expectations of ourselves and each other. That is far more rooted in reality. I just cringe at the modern definition of “reality” as doom and gloom and pessimism, because that\u2019s easy. Anybody can be a pessimist. You don\u2019t have to work at it. <\/p>\n

Anybody can be negative. The problem is that we have way too many people that profit personally and exploit low expectations and doom and misery rather than using the power they\u2019ve acquired to try to inspire. We, as conservatives, try to inspire on the basis of human characters and expectations and traits, not surface characters like skin color, sexual gender or orientation or any of these things that end up dividing us. <\/p>\n

The very people that claim to be able to unite us because they are the ones that have all the tolerance have the least tolerance and the lowest expectations, and in no way know how to unify anybody. There isn\u2019t any profit in it. There is profit in promising it. There is profit in suggesting that you can do it or that you\u2019re going to try, but there\u2019s no profit in actually accomplishing it. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why incidents like this trouble me because they happen and they\u2019re going to continue to happen. No matter how perfect or how good everything gets, human behavior is such that we\u2019re gonna have all kinds of examples of it, the good and the bad in any population or circumstance. No matter how advanced, educated, or what have you. But it\u2019s just the whole notion that I\u2019ve got to loot because it\u2019s the only way I can pay back the discrimination.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got to loot because it\u2019s the only way I can show how angry I am at the way I\u2019m treated. I\u2019ve got to do this and do that because it\u2019s the only way I can get noticed.” It\u2019s just sad, to me, and it\u2019s pointless and doesn\u2019t do anybody any good, and it never accomplishes anything in the end. Anyway, Susan, I appreciate the call. I really do. I understand your frustration. I feel it myself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
