RUSH: You know, I’ve got a story here in the Stack about Hollywood leftists, led by Ed Asner and Mike Farrell. Now, they’re a couple of relics, but they are the leaders of the anti-war movement in Hollywood, and they’re still influencing young actors and actresses, and they are admitting they don’t like this at all. They don’t like this Syria business. They don’t like what’s going on in Libya. They don’t like Obama’s foreign policy at all.
But they will not go public with it, and Asner admitted why. They don’t want to be seen as “anti-black.” Bingo again. It’s the same reason the Republicans are not standing up and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be seen as anti-black, and so opposing Obama is not seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived as being against black people. Because of the nature of this nation’s past in terms of slavery, whenever a black person reaches a position of power we’ve got to relax all the standards.

You know, there's a I've got a story here in
the stack. Hollywood leftists led by Ed Asner and Mike Ferrell.
Now there are a couple of relics, but they are
the leaders of the anti war movement in Hollywood, and
they're still influencing young actors and actresses. And they are
admitting they don't like this at all. They don't like
(00:21):
the seri of business, they don't like what's going on Olibya,
they don't like Obama's foreign policy at all, but they
will not go public with it. And Asna admitted why
they don't want to be seen as anti black bingo. Again,
it's the same reason the Republicans are not standing up
and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be
(00:43):
seen as anti black, and so opposing Obama is not
seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived
as being against black people because of the nature of
this nation's past in terms of slavery. Whenever black person
reaches a position of power with got to relax all
the standards because of the soft bigotry, of low expectations,
(01:04):
because of all the sympathy, because we feel so bad
for what happened that they can't do anything wrong. We
just know we're not going to permit that. It's just
not that it would It would be so unfair, it
would be so unfair. And the first black president to
get there and then be subject to criticism, it's not fair.
It's not fair. We got a long way to go
before we level the play and field of what happened
during the days of slavery. And so even the most
(01:27):
virulent anti war protesters in Hollywood are afraid to speak
up because even more important to them than their anti
war position is their position on race. And don't doubt
that for a minute. The civil rights movement is why
Hollywood is liberal. Percent of it minimum maybe, do not
(01:53):
doubt me. The civil rights movement, the march is in
the sixties, All of that is exactly why Hollywood's liberal
and everything else. When you throw in the first African
American president, you shut him up on anything else that
they disagree with. Not even Ed Asner and Mike Fair
or anybody else out there wants to even get close
(02:16):
to being thought of as anti black. More important to
them than anything else. They could sit by and watch
Obama launch a massive attack and not say anything because
to be critical of it was to be anti black.
And that's practically a quote from Asner himself, and he
(02:41):
wasn't just talking about himself. As full quote is a
lot of people here in Hollywood, a lot of people
don't want to feel anti black by being opposed to Obama.
That's the Republican Party as well, and that's inside the
Beltway formula. They're just they're they're they're not They're not
(03:01):
going to analyze this honestly, even if they know what
it is. They're just not going to go there, folks.
Nobody's got the guts. Everybody is afraid of being called
anti black. And make no mistake, the Democrats and Obama
and his advisors know it. They love it, and they
(03:22):
use it. I would do if I were them.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
