RUSH: Yeah, it used to be that it was a matter of scorn to be a victim. Nobody wanted to be a victim, because victims whined and they complained and blamed others for their plight. It was a stigma. Thats why, not that long ago (you would probably remember) people were running around refusing to play the victim. In fact, it was almost valorous to not be the victim, but today its just the exact opposite. To be a victim is to be a hero. To be a victim is to be some sort of massive fighter for justice and integrity. Ill tell you what happens -- and were living it. Were right in the middle of it. I dont care, take your favorite group. Pick any group you want that has become fully victimized. They are fully enmeshed in victimology and where they live is the victimhood, and its gotten to the point now where anything that is said contrary to the contentions made by the victims is considered to be an attack on the victims. The victims in our culture I also call The Offended, and there are people that are offended by you name it. Secondhand smoke. Theyre offended by words they hear on radio/TV, whatever. Theyre everywhere. If you dont bow down and try to accommodate every little whining, moaning complaint, then you are judged to be attacking them. This manifests itself all over. You know our biggest victim in the country is right now is Barack Obama, and he plays it to the hilt. Hes the biggest victim weve got, and if theres any criticism of Barack Obama, why, it is considered to be an attack and is considered to be an attack rooted in racism. All of this is designed to shut down any opposition, legitimate or otherwise. Its designed to shut down disagreement, shut down debate, you name it. Its designed to intimidate people into shutting up, getting out of the way, and let the victims and The Offended overrun whatever it is they demand be changed. Were living right in the middle of the it. The president himself was on BET, Black Entertainment Network, and he effectively labeled the United States as being a country of racists, and having deep roots in racism. He said, Theres something deeply rooted in our society, its deeply rooted in our history, and when youre dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or... Wait a minute, sir. Youve been here six years. Youre the first African-American president, you are historic, and youre talking as though you havent been on the scene yet. Six years, and what do you have to show for doing anything about any of this? Its what presidents do! Deal with problems. Improve the country. Unite people, bring em together, move everybody forward. Not divide them. I really think this is extremely harmful, and its getting worse by the day. - Rush Limbaugh
