Hillary Wants to Topple Herself

RUSH: This is fascinating to me. It was a toss-up to be the lead item. It's a Hillary item. I'm so bored with Hillary, as you know, I didn't want to lead with the Hillary story. She's out there, and she said something literally idiotic, and I know she doesn't believe it. It illustrates that she's pandering, that she thinks that after all of these years of Obama that there's still some doubt that she is extremist leftist enough.

She actually said... She was talking to a bunch of economists and she said that we need to topple the 1% in order to save the American economy. What do you think when you hear "topple"? What do you think of? Destroy, overthrow. You think military coup. Something like that. Topple the 1%? She and her husband are in the top 1% of the 1%. All of the people they hang with are at the 1%. She is no more gonna topple those people than she is gonna reverse herself on abortion.

But yet she thinks that she has to go out and say it. She has to prove it because apparently she believes that there is doubt out there in in the Democrat Party base of her credentials as a serious and honest leftist. Look what she thinks she has to say in order shore up her support from that lunatic base the Democrat Party has created, that you have to go out and you actually have to promise to destroy the 1% in order to prove your bona fides.

And everybody knows that she in no way, shape, manner, or form believes this, and that in no way, shape, manner, or form is she gonna do it any more than Obama has done it. The victims of people like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are the little guy, the middle class, the supposedly beneficiaries of socialism, the supposed beneficiaries of the whole concept of the redistribution of wealth. And that's what she's talking about.

"By toppling the rich, I'm gonna go get their money! I'm gonna take it away from them. My first target's gonna be the Koch brothers. I'm gonna take everything they've got!"

"Yeah, you do that -- and then give it to me." That's right. That's what they expect. Hillary is gonna take the money from them and redistribute it, and somehow these insane lunatic leftists that comprise the Democrat base are somehow gonna end up with the money. Yet it's 50 years or more, and they don't have a dime more to show for their votes for the Democrats than they would have otherwise. Topple the 1%. We had a sound bite yesterday I didn't get to. I asked that it be saved; it was. Monday afternoon, Keene, New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton at the Whitney Brothers Furniture Company, she held a roundtable campaign event. During the event, this is what she said about small business in America.

HILLARY: From my perspective, I want to be sure that we get small businesses starting and growing in America again. We have stalled out. I was very surprised to see that when I began to dig into it. Because people were telling me this as I traveled around the country the last two years, but I didn't know what they were saying and it turns out that we are not, uhh, producing as many small businesses as we used to.

RUSH: You know, I listen to this, and marvel at it. If we take it at face value on one hand, we have just listened to an unapologetic, abject idiot. Taken at face value. If we look at this through the prism of Democrat politics, we have just completed six years of the presidency of the first African-American president in the country, a historical president, who has had a great economic recovery plan. Remember, starting with the stimulus and Obamacare and any number of other things, we got unemployment down to 5.5%, and the economy is roaring.

I mean, that's the line the Regime puts out. Mrs. Clinton is of the same party as the first African-American president, and she served in the Regime as secretary of state and she's running around saying, "You know what? People have been telling me the past couple years that small business has kind of slowed down. Small business creation has leveled off, and I didn't know that! I was surprised. I dug into it. People were telling me this when I traveled around the country, but I -- I -- I didn't know what they were saying."

How in the world can you not know what the status is of the people in this country whom you want to vote for you? How can you possibly be alive and breathing -- even if you're traveling all over the world, how can you possibly be alive and breathing -- and not understand the plight, economic plight of people in this country? How can you not see 92 million not working and know what that means? How can you not see record numbers of people on food stamps and not know what that means?

Now, secretly in and privately, all of those numbers are good for Mrs. Clinton. The more people on the formal dole, the better. That's how they view compassion, and that's how they view their route and access to power and claiming and holding on it. But to run around and willingly portray herself as ignorant? "Yeah, I had people tell me the last few years, small business creation is really down. They were telling me this, and I didn't know what they were saying." What's so hard about small business is in trouble?

How do you not know what somebody's saying when they tell you that? If anything, Hillary Clinton's in the process here of toppling herself, and to that extent being in the 1%, she may be suicidal in this sense. But this is just incredible. "As it turns out, we're not turning out as many small businesses as we used to"? Yeah, when? Now, how do you think this went over at the Regime? Well, last night on MSNBC...

We've lifted the ban on MSNBC for one Obama sound bite because it does not contain any MSNBC anchor or newsman or personality or what have you. So this comes under the guidelines here of fair usage. I actually do not have to lift the ban on MSNBC to use this, because this could have happened anywhere. So the question Obama got was: Okay, Hillary is out there saying yesterday the economy is stalling and small business is down, and it's been bad for a while, and she just found out about it. What do you think?

OBAMA: The truth is, is that we are the strongest economy among the advanced economies right now.

OBAMA: And the -- the main reason -- the -- the -- the main way that we're gonna strengthen the economy and keep the momentum that we've had over the last six years is to adopt the agenda that I've talked about. Let's rebuild (pause) our infrastructure. We could be putting people back to work right now.

RUSH: We're in the seventh year here -- the seventh year -- and we're still talking as though Obama's just got inaugurated?

RUSH: We had $820 billion for a stimulus bill that was to rebuild the infrastructure, repair roads and bridges and rebuild our schools. Of course, it didn't happen. The money went to Obama's union buddies. We're in the seventh year of his Regime, and he's talking as though this is it is first year, and all these great things that will come from his ideas, and the thing that we need to do to grow the economy. There's a story from the AP today, "Employers Cut Jobs in 31 States as Growth Slows."

What growth? There isn't any growth. "Harsh winter weather and a labor dispute at West Coast ports that disrupted shipping dragged down the economy in the first three months of the year. ... All told, economists forecast that growth slowed to an annual rate of 1% or less in the first quarter..." Do you know what they told us it was in the second half of last year was 3.4%. That's what they told us.

The growth rate was 3.4%. In the first three months of this year, we've had less than 1% economic growth. So Mrs. Clinton is right: Small business is down. Every economic indicator is down. The unemployment number's a lie. It's a totally made up and miscalculated number. Obama is running around irritated that Hillary is running down the economy, and so is Jen Psaki. Here's what she said about that.

PSAKI: Well, I don't know the statistics that Secretary Clinton was looking at, so that's a good question. But I can tell you that small business growth has been a huge priority for this president. The economy is better than it was six years ago.

RUSH: If it's been a huge priority, he is an abject failure because small business growth is stagnating like everything else in this economy is, except the 1%, many of whom have relationships with the Obama Regime propping them up.

RUSH: Okay, so here's where we are. Mrs. Clinton says that many small businesses have gone away. Small business growth has stagnated. We're losing ground in the small business sector. Overall, the economy is dragging. Then after admitting that -- and, by the way, I wonder how many small businesses have paid her 300 grand to speak or her husband 500 grand to speak. So she's out there acknowledging that small business is in a rut, that the economy has slowed down, and on top of that, she promises a bunch of economists that she's gonna topple the 1%.

She just gonna wipe out everybody, and she's gonna end up calling it fairness, which is exactly how the left defines equality: Misery shared equally. Once that happens, then everything's okay. Once the misery is spread equally, it's great. They never try to spread enjoy. They're incapable of it. The left is incapable of inspiration. They're incapable of uplifting. They're too angry. They're too mad. They're too pessimistic. They're never happy, no matter what they get. So now everybody has to be miserable.

Everybody has to be unhappy, otherwise it isn't fair. This is the woman who is said to be the presumptive Democrat nominee!

Don’t buy Sleeptrain —they abandoned Rush 2 years ago during Rush’s “Slut insists Gummint pay for contraception” impbroglio.

Rush’s amazing marketing SAVED the struggling, embryonic company when it still had just one branch in a bad part of Sacramento. Rush swooped in and made sure people drove from HUNDRED of miles around to buy Sleeptrain mattresses:

Years later and after Sleeptrain’s yearly profits climbed over a BILLION dollars, a TINY clutch of liberal mouth-breathers with good software launched a well-timed, mean-hearted deception of the public to get Rush thrown off the air, and Sleeptrain paid Rush back by ABANDONING him.

NO SLEEPTRAIN FOR RUSH-FANS.

I love Rush and I will NEVER forget.
