I think Republicans want to Beat Deomocrats because ....

Rush hit the nail on the head today...

It's always been interesting to see that every criticism of Obama is met with the accusation - well, it's made because they're racist.

Now, I'm not saying that a lot of racist whites don't want Obama in office. Read any news article about Obama, go down to the comments, and you'll find plenty of posts referring to him as a monkey, a chimp, ya da ya da. There are probably as many white racists in this country as there are black and Latino racists.

And they are a small percentage. Because remember that even though 95 % of blacks voted for Obama in the last election - that was not enough to get him elected. It was only with the white and Latino vote that it happened. Non-racists trumped racists.

But if you look at the history of this country over the last three presidencies or so, weren't the Dems hell-bent for leather to get Bush out of office? He was white, so it couldn't have been racism. Must have been his politics. Now we've got Obama in office, he's demonstrably failed at practically everything he's done - starting with insulting England by giving the Queen an ipod of his speeches, giving the prime minister a package of DVDs...that were not playable on British DVD players, and returning a bust of Winston Churchill with scant ceremony.

And it just got worse from there.

As for the birther thing - if Obama had just handed over his birth certificate to begin with, he would have shut up a lot of folks. But just why does he have a Connecticut social security number when he never lived in Connecticut?

RUSH: Here is Charlie Rose last night on his PBS show. His guest is New York Magazine National Editor John Heilemann, and they're talking about the presidential race. This is the question that I told you about right before the top of the hour. Basically Charlie Rose says: Why do Republicans want to beat Obama so bad?

ROSE: What is it about the President that seems to make them so passionate to defeat him?

HEILEMANN: That's kind of like a PhD dissertation-style question.

ROSE: Yeah.

HEILEMANN: There is a part of the Republican Party, the conservative -- far conservative -- aspect of it that have hated the President with a really raw intensity since the day he walked into the office. Certainly the birther thing seems to be, at least to me, partly driven by racial animus. This notion of Obama as a socialist, that he is Chicago school, Saul Alinsky. There's all these associations that a lot of the right have with various kinds of left-wing bogeys. You know, if you look at the way the president's governed -- in my opinion, you know -- he's clearly been left of center.

ROSE: Mmm-humph.

HEILEMANN: But not socialist by any means.

RUSH: Oh, no, no! Of course not. Not socialist. He's just taking over one-sixth of the economy with government-run health care. No way! How could anybody think the guy's a socialist!

Mr. Heilemann, he says he's one.

And I'm sorry, but the Saul Alinsky stuff is real.

Why do conservatives want to beat Hillary as badly as they want to beat Obama? Is it 'cause she's black? Well, she's not black. Her husband was the first black president, but she was not the first black first lady. No, it's 'cause she's a woman, right? It can't possibly be because of the politics. What kind of question is this? Charlie, would you ever ask Heilemann, "Why do Democrats want to beat George Bush so bad?" The question would never even occur to you.

Glen Beck was covering Obama's "accomplishments" today on his show.
