The whole powerful woman with a mind of her own-thing is probably blowing their minds.

You mean 2009 to present. The whole 'Michelle Obama wants to ban cake and cookies' thing is still a thing. You read articles occasionally about some school districts getting rid of newer school lunch menus just because 'the kids are too hungry, Obama is starving our children!'

I hear this comment a lot whenever the First Lady mentions anything about exercise or healthy eating. "She should lead by example." So because Michelle Obama once ate a cheeseburger or eats chicken, then anything she said is null and void. I always comment that she looks normal and in shape. That's ignored and the focus becomes solely on her backside. And when she actually does something and lead by example, like planting a White House garden with elementary school kids, she gets attacked for that too.

Stephen Crowder made a video attacking the Obamas for their health policies, and in it he shows a picture of Barack at the beach, as though this shows what a blatant hypocrite Obama is. I don't know what Crowder saw in the picture, but I saw a guy in pretty good shape for his age. Maybe Crowder was annoyed that Barack didn't have huge rippling muscles, which is how Crowder thinks all men should look?

Haha, the topic on Rush lately is over Bob Dole's comments that the Republicans should close up shop and work on fixing their own poo poo internally. Rush thinks it is patently absurd that Dole claimed that Reagan and Nixon couldn't make it in today's Republican party :laugh: Anyway a guy calls in and agrees with Dole's comments, to which Rush becomes exasperated and asks "Wait, are you a Democrat?" No, the caller claims to be an independent. From here, the caller correctly points out that the tax rates are the lowest they've been since Truman, and the reason we're in the debt situation we're in now is due to people not paying enough taxes and our unfunded wars. Then Rush hangs up on him and moans about how he hates in when liberals call into his radio show, of which anyone can call in and voice their opinion and remain on air for as long as they like.... so long as they are entertaining to Rush :ironicat:

Now with transcript:

quote:

RUSH: Let's go grab some phone calls and we'll go to Rochester, New York. We'll start with Phillip. Phillip, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Thank you. How you doing today?

RUSH: I'm fine. How are you?

CALLER: I just called to more or less let you know that I agree with Senator Dole. I think your party should close up and repair 'til next year.

RUSH: You're a Democrat?

CALLER: No. I'm an independent.

RUSH: Oh, okay.

CALLER: Now, to prove my point, the last election I think you had three Senate seats that you could have won handily. The one from New Hampshire with, what was her name, O'Donnell, that was the witch, and then there were these two senators, one from Indiana, that rape was a gift from God. Really? These Tea Party people, the Tea Party stands for "taxed enough already." Is that correct?

RUSH: Taxed enough already is partly, yes. It stands for many things. That's one of the things, yes.

CALLER: Well, that shows you how misinformed they are, 'cause we're at the lowest tax rate since Truman was president. So if that's what they're going by --

RUSH: You want to pay more taxes?

CALLER: -- it's not very intelligent.

RUSH: You want to pay higher taxes?

CALLER: Do I want to pay? I want to pay my fair share.

RUSH: What's fair?

CALLER: We're paying lowering taxes. Why are we in debt now? Because we're not paying enough taxes. This is a great country and I don't mind paying more.

RUSH: You think we're in debt because people aren't paying enough taxes?

CALLER: I think we're in debt 'cause Bush put us in two wars that --

RUSH: You're not an independent.

CALLER: I am too an independent.

RUSH: You're a commie SOB liberal. There's no way. Come on, man, you people on the left do not have to lie when you call here. This happened last week and we had to dump a guy. Look, this is the fairest, most open radio talk show in the country, and you libs just can't be honest. There was no witch on the ballot in Delaware. Independent, my rear end. Shrinking rear end, by the way. For crying out loud, you people on the left, just call here and be honest. You can be on the program all day, for as long as you're interesting, 30 seconds or so. But, man, you're making a fool of yourself now. We have debt because of Bush? This is why the country's in trouble. People like this clown vote, two or three times, probably. Well, who's next? Phillip's history.

...

RUSH: So I'm being deluged with e-mails from people giving me the Bush economic data to refute that caller, that lying independent sack of whatever that called here from Rochester about the reason we have debt being the Bush tax cuts and three wars. I got all these numbers. The Bush deficit, by the way, in 2007, do you know what the annual deficit was in 2007? This was in the middle of "three" wars and after the Bush tax cuts, which were 2001, 2002. The federal budget deficit in 2007 was, what, $167 billion or some such thing.

The idea that the debt situation we have is because of Bush, look, there was spending, there's no question, but the utter denial of any responsibility by Obama the last five years is exactly the -- folks, low-information voter. This is exactly who the guy was. That's what we're up against. I could have kept the guy on the phone, told him the truth about the numbers -- it wouldn't have mattered. That was quintessential, classic illustration of a low-information voter, and a partisan to boot, a partisan low-information voter. Those people, it wouldn't have mattered. They're not to be reasoned with. You can't persuade them. Even I, greatness, as the next caller said, I wouldn't have had the chance to persuade him. I couldn't have succeeded. The thing that has to be done is those people have to be defeated.

And that's what's wrong with the Republican Party, trying to reach out to those people? It's a losing proposition. It isn't gonna happen. They have to be defeated. They're in a minority anyway. The percentage of the American people -- I've got it here in the Stack -- the percentage of the American people that identify themselves as conservative, the latest numbers, 26%, which you may think is low, but the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as liberal is like 13%. Even if you don't believe those numbers, I guarantee you it's no higher than 30%, the percent that are liberal. We're being governed by a genuine minority made to look like a majority because of the media and everything else.
