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

RUSH: We\u2019ll go to LA. This is Bill. Welcome, sir. You\u2019re up first. It\u2019s great to have you on the program today. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey! Thanks, Rush. It\u2019s nice talking to you. Listen, I\u2019m extremely offended by this Sterling story, because why wasn\u2019t everybody up in arms when Harry Reid made his racist statement? I\u2019m African-American. I\u2019m extremely offended. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Which racist statement? (crosstalk) Whoa, whoa! Hold it. Which racist statement of Harry Reid\u2019s are you referring to? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he made a couple. I don\u2019t remember the last one, but he made a statement about the way Obama speaks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, saying he can employ “the Negro dialect” any time he wants.<\/line><\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why did Obama rush to his aid and keep him from losing his job?<\/p>\n

RUSH: The cause! <\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s still in office.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The cause. The cause above all. Why did Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw circle the wagons Dan Rather an awards dinner after he did a fake story on Bush and the National Guard? To protect the movement.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely, and they\u2019re hypocrites. They\u2019re all hypocrites. Magic, Arsenio, all of \u2019em who made statements are hypocrites, because no one was up in arms about Harry Reid, and I\u2019m still upset about that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why is Magic a hypocrite?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I mean, he comes out… You know, he\u2019s running for mayor or something at one point, so he\u2019s in the political arena. So why didn\u2019t he call for Harry Reid\u2019s resignation?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, Bill, let me ask you. You\u2019re in LA. What gets me about this, if I know how long this has been going on — and I don\u2019t live in LA. If I am familiar enough with who Donald Sterling is, what he\u2019s done, what he said, then certainly Magic Johnson has to know. Certainly all these people have to know that this is not anything knew that they learned on Saturday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. I knew this for years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, of course. That\u2019s my point. Everybody in LA that pays attention to sports — and the people in sports that make LA sports — have known this. Even outside sports they know, given Sterling\u2019s housing development scandals.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. They\u2019re a bunch of hypocrites, as far as I\u2019m concerned. So why is Harry Reid still in office?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, I —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nobody called for him to lost his job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bill, I gotta tell you something. I like you. You are laser focused on Harry Reid. I really like it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) I love that!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because the man\u2019s a racist. I mean, he made racist statements, so why is he still in office?<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s permitted.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely!<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s permitted because he\u2019s a Democrat.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So they pick and choose the racists that they still want to associate with. <\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s the cause, man. You know it as well as I do. Thanks, Bill. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
