RUSH:<\/font><\/strong><\/a> It was the very people these hippies are protesting that came in and saved them, and now these people have finally realized — the Clintons are part of this sixties hippie generation, they are — they’ve achieved power.  They finally got there.  You could say that they’re naive in their idealism, it’s a mistake to chalk up all this as an accident.  This is not the result of good intentions.  This economic disaster and the slush fund to fix it, the TARP fund, these are not accidents.  These are purposeful steps, and I don’t believe that these people really do believe it’s going to revive an economy.  That’s not what they’re trying to do.  They’re trying to show their compassion, they’re trying to enlarge government.  These are big statists.  These are socialists, fascists, or whoever.  They’re radicals.  They’re on the fringe of American thought and belief. <\/font><\/strong> But because their beliefs were embodied in some great orator who was able to be a blank piece of canvas, people were allowed to paint whatever they wanted on that canvas and make Obama whatever they wanted him to be, he got elected because the Republicans didn’t have the guts and the chutzpah to campaign and run a real critical presidential campaign of who the guy was and they knew who he was but they refused to do it.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Unimaginable! In this rant, Rush outdoes himself. He starts with the Clintons are hippies<\/em>. He then moves to the economic crisis and TARP are not accidents<\/em>, but have something to do with hippies and the Clintons. TARP? Wasn’t that Bush’s thing? So these hippies [Clintons] aren’t trying to solve the crisis. They are trying to make government bigger<\/em>. They used Obama’s rhetoric to do all of this. I haven’t heard paranoid logic this loose since my days in the State hospital a long time ago…<\/div>\n

RUSH:<\/font><\/strong><\/a> I’ll tell you something else the Obama people want, all of these sixties hippies. Obama has written about this in The Audacity of Hope about how he wanted to reverse what Reagan and his "minions" did.  Well, what that means is this:  They wanted a new depression to get back and expand the safety net, restore things to the status before Reagan and the Reagan Revolution.  Reagan trimmed the welfare rolls, slowed the growth of the welfare state, and they didn’t like that.  These people are all about expanding the welfare state, getting as many people as possible on the welfare state.  They need to give us a new depression, and they’re in the process of doing it.<\/font><\/strong>  Don’t doubt me.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
