BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I'm convinced that these people listen to this program, 'cause it was earlier this week that I accused Hillary Clinton of racism and bigotry because not only did she try to stop the first black guy from becoming president -- that would be Barack Hussein O -- and now she's attempting to stop the first Jewish guy from becoming president.
And they are asked this question last night. Bernie Sanders was asked the question. That's why I know they listen. They were worried that it worked, so Gwen Ifill had to turn it around. "Bernie, are you worried you are thwarting history here by denying Mrs. Clinton a chance to be the first woman president?" Folks, they knew damage was done with my little joke, and they had to try to correct it last night. It was great.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Here is Gwen Ifill asking Crazy Bernie if he is standing in the way of history.
IFILL: Senator, do you worry at all that you will be the instrument of thwarting history, as Senator Clinton keeps claiming that she might be the first woman president?
SANDERS: Well, you know, I think from an historical point of view, somebody with my background, somebody with my views, somebody who has spent his entire life taking on the big money interests, I think a Sanders victory would be of some historical accomplishment as well.
PBS's Ifill to Sanders: Would You Be 'The Instrument of Thwarting History' If You Beat Hillary?
RUSH: Come on, Bernie! You're gonna put that up against the first female president? Don't even mention that you're Jewish? The question needs to be asked of Hillary Clinton. She's the one on record. She is the one who already has a track record and history of trying to deny minorities their rightful place in this country: Barack Hussein Obama, the Reverend Jackson -- who at one point wanted to be president, and her husband gets in the way. Now she tries to stop Obama, and now she's trying to stop the first Jewish guy from becoming president, and they ask the Jewish guy if he's the one being unfair.
You want to rig a game? Do it that way.
END TRANSCRIPT
Obame
Clinton
Bernie
The Democrat’s best and brightest.
This the substance of a Democrat debate?
Democrats are pathetically shallow.
I thought Bernie’s answer was interesting. He didn’t mention being Jewish (I don’t think he’s religious, so I don’t think he’d see himself as a Jewish president). But he clearly though that having him in the White House would be just as historic as having a woman.
I think Bernie was hinting that putting a real Socialist in the White House would be a historic change for the USA.
He clearly sees himself as radically different from the US tradition of capitalism and bourgeois success stories.
He's white, he's old and he's Jewish.
He's lucky he's not on Obamacare or the Death Panel would have sent him to The Farm.
Yup, and of the three I’d have to say I prefer Bernie.
At least he is upfront with what he believes and wants to do.
I’d have a beer with the guy...
If they were on fire I wouldn’t piss on Hillary or Obama to put them out. :-(
Don’t underestimate the intelligence of these three.... they are smart, cunning and dangerous.
he’s certainly been thwarting Hillary
I don’t think I’d argue with any of that.
Because, you know, being historical is always a good thing. Right???
Sirhan Sirhan made history. John Wilkes Booth made history. And let us not forget the ever-historical Mark David Chapman or John Wayne Gacy or any of a myriad of others who have cemented their place in history. And I intentionally avoided using the “big” names of people who have changed world history in other-than-better ways.
Heck, if having a “historical” candidate is so important, let the dems nominate a quadriplegic Asian lesbian dwarf with a harelip. That would just about max out the “Historical” meter.
Dennis Prager had a great critique on the “flow of history” argument with liberals.
When they say it is the flow of history nationally, they are saying shut up conservatives, the water only flows one way, our way, you’re losing, give up.
When they say there is a flow of history internationally, like democracy spreading, they use it as an excuse to give up. We don’t have to seriously fight ISIS or support Russia against Islamo-facists, history says we’ll win in the long run, so we won’t bother to fight.
