I wrote a whole book about this called The Obama Hate Machine. This President has been the subject of more ugly personal attacks, mean attacks aimed at him personally, not at his policies, than any President since Abraham Lincoln, fueled by the Koch brothers and carried, of course, mainly on Fox News and by Rush Limbaugh. Joe, we just saw some of those clips. They called him a socialist. They have called him a racist.

You know, they’ve called him a communist. I mean, street thug, all the name-calling. And it continues. But I have to say this, Reverend Al. I don’t blame the media entirely, you know. It’s John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who picked it up. Rush Limbaugh said I hope he fails.
