Rush doesn't say he wants the President to fail in this interview. He says this is how the leftwing media is portraying it, and he is defining what some call "post-racialism"...
"They wanted him elected because they want to reassert their power -- the media here -- in being able to sway public opinion to the result that they wanted.
So...they were going to cover up the Jeremiah Wright, all these things that give the indication of radicalism in Obama, cover that up, portray him as he wants to be portrayed -- somebody who's not to be questioned, somebody who's not to be doubted, we're just supposed to accept and trust, because. . .
most of these guys became alive and came of age in the civil rights battles of the sixties, who define who they are, they've trained these young drive-bys to look at events through the same prism...
you know, racism in this country is the exclusive province of the left, we're witnessing rascism all this week that led up to the Inauguration.
We're being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles, bend forward, backward, whichever, because his father's black, because this is the first black president, we've..we've got to accept this.
The racism that everyone thinks that exists on our side of the aisle has been on full display throught their primary campaign.
I think they've done a great job, the media has, of covering up his deficiencies. They...he's too big to fail, and so whatever goes wrong, blame it on Bush, blame it on...I mean MSNBC's new life will be criticising you and me, because they can't criticise him."
Looks to me more like the left don't like it when their tactics are called out, and will twist it around to something it isn't, because this interview segment really isn't outrageous at all...
