Radio, Movies, and Racist Rush

Radio, Movies, and Racist Rush bumped

Taylor Marsh LIVE!
will be back next week, Tuesday September 4th; 3:00-4:00 p.m. eastern – 12:00-1:00 p.m. pacific.

In the meantime, see “Talk to Me,” if it’s still around in your town.

Don Cheadle is out of his mind fantastic. The subject is historical, with all
the anger and impact the late 1960s had to offer, complete with riots and a radio show that might have saved a city. It’s based on a true story and
you simply cannot miss it. Chiwetel
Ejiofor is dynamic and outstanding opposite Cheadle. But don’t get me
started about Taraji P. Henson. Some of you may remember her from “Hustle
and Flow.” Well, in “Talk to Me” Henson blows everyone off the screen when she’s there. This woman is
simply remarkable. Looking forward to when she finds a role that finally brings
her top billing. Wait for it. It will come.

“Talk to Me” is all about great radio, something you won’t hear from racist Rush, who likely could never appreciate a film like this one. Last week proved it, as Rush did “Barack the Magic Negro” one better. I heard it and didn’t believe it. Media Matters has the transcript.

LIMBAUGH: Here’s [caller] in Lake Orion, Michigan. Thank you for calling. Great to have you on the EIB Network. CALLER: Hey, Rush. It’s great to talk to you. I talked to you once before. I’ve been listening to you for a couple of years now, and I think I’m getting brighter, but there’s a lot to be learned. I know I’m no expert in foreign affairs, but what really confuses me about the liberals is the hypocrisy when they talk about how we have no reason to be in Iraq and helping those people, but yet everybody wants us to go to Darfur. I mean, aren’t we going to end up in a quagmire there? I mean, isn’t it — I don’t understand. Can you enlighten me on this? LIMBAUGH: Yeah. This is — you’re not going to believe this, but it’s very simple. And the sooner you believe it, and the sooner you let this truth permeate the boundaries you have that tell you this is just simply not possible, the better you will understand Democrats in everything. You are right. They want to get us out of Iraq, but they can’t wait to get us into Darfur. CALLER: Right. LIMBAUGH: There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur? CALLER: Uh, yeah. LIMBAUGH: It’s black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they’re in trouble. CALLER: Yes. Yes. The black population. LIMBAUGH: Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing. CALLER: It’s just — I can’t believe it’s really that simple. LIMBAUGH: Well, see, I knew you couldn’t believe it. But here’s the — here’s one that’s even going to be harder to believe and it is even more truthful. Could you tell me what vital national interest, [caller], is at stake in Darfur? CALLER: Um, I don’t know. LIMBAUGH: Nothing. Zilch, zero, nada. Darfur is not attacking us. Darfur has not said they want to attack us. So they will — same thing — Clinton sent the U.S. military off to Bosnia. No U.S. national interest at stake. The liberals will use the military as a “meals on wheels” program. They’ll send them out to help with tsunami victims. But you put the military — you put the military in a position of defending U.S. national interest, and that’s when Democrats and the liberals oppose it. And – CALLER: Right. Terrorists have attacked us and our oil supply comes from, you know, Iraq and Iran and the Middle East, and yet that’s not worth defending. LIMBAUGH: Right. That’s exactly right. You’ve got it. You’ve got it. Now you just have to believe your own instincts from here on out. Â
