RUSH: This is dicey. It's like I say: "law and order" in New Orleans is a code word for racism. You don't talk about law and order because you'll have people like Jesse Jackson on your case. So you don't talk about it. The idea that, for example, the gangs running around down there now just came to life because of the disaster is naïve. I mean, there are gangs in major metro areas all over the country, and they surface whenever, and this is the exact type of circumstance they exploit. I mean, folks, for crying out loud, we have rescue helicopters being fired on these people today at the Superdome. Rescue helicopters being fired on.... I mentioned at the beginning of the program that I've been trolling these wacko leftist websites, and I saw one that was particularly disturbing earlier this week, used the N-word in a headline. It was all about... Well, the point of this whole post was that the reason nobody is rescuing them and the reason nobody cares about them and the reason they're being allowed to die the way they are is because they're the N-word, and they were not blaming anybody but our culture.
"America is a racist country." This is this leftist website's point of view, Daily Kos is what it was; Daily "Chaos," however the hell you pronounce it. "This is our culture. This is our society. We are a racist society, and this attitude, of course, has been prevalent long since before the Civil Rights Act and the sixties and the actions that led up to it." Remember, the libs work off an old playbook. They never modernize. They have a view of America that never changes. The view of America, when it comes to race, is 1960. The view of America economically is the 1930s. The view of America at war is 1969 through '73, Vietnam. I mean, that's how they look at this country. So when race enters into it, whenever there's pictures of black people suffering on television, the liberal cannot help but conclude, "Well, it's the 1960s, and this is actually probably desired by somebody." I read it, and to be fair there are a number of people on this website that were horrified and offended by it and said, "Take it down. You're going to hurt us by putting this up there," and an argument began on this website as to whether or not the headline should stay, and very few really were debating the substance of this locoweed's point. Well, that's what starts these things, and they percolate out there and they effervesce, just like, "There aren't enough National Guard troops because Bush sent them all to Iraq." That started on this website, and now Diane Sawyer is asking Bush about it today. Make no mistake when I tell you that the mainstream press has its tentacles dug deep into the fringe kook of the Democratic Party. It's true, and that's where some of this stuff comes from.
