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

RUSH: Oh, this is a day for sadness or frustration or what have you. I really cannot believe this. One of the men that I idolized growing up — one of the men who I wanted to be like growing up, Hank Aaron, who\u2019s now 80, who broke the Babe Ruth home-run record — is out there saying the Republican Party is today\u2019s KKK. It\u2019s just sad. It\u2019s just so silly. I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

He was speaking to USA Today on the 40th anniversary of his then-record breaking 715th home run, and he said that it\u2019s the Republicans who are hindering Obama\u2019s job performance. Well, that\u2019s just silly. Republicans haven\u2019t made any effort to stop Obama. I mean, not seriously. Hank, the Republicans are trying to find ways to make it look like they agree with the guy on various things. <\/p>\n

Henry Aaron said, “Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he\u2019s treated. … The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”<\/line><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t even originate that. I don\u2019t know who did. (interruption) Was Rangel the first? Was he the first guy that said that? (interruption) Well, you\u2019re right, Rangel did say that years ago. “Well, they used to wear hoods, but now they wear stand for shirts and red ties.” Henry Aaron! Good grief, I liked Henry Aaron so much, I even didn\u2019t mind when he went on the Dinah Shore Show.<\/p>\n

He had breakfast with his wife, scrambled eggs and bacon. They actually ate back in those days, when it wasn\u2019t a big deal to eat on TV. Dinah Shore was saying, “What do you do? You play baseball?” I\u2019m just kidding. She knew what he did. So Henry Aaron is comparing the Republican Party to the militant wing of the Democrat Party. The KKK was a bunch of Democrats. But that\u2019s not even the point. The point is that it\u2019s just silly. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s disappointing, is what it is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
