One Broadway Show Got it All Wrong
11/22/2016 1:46:22 PM
Talk-radio star Rush Limbaugh condemned the “Hamilton” producers and cast on his Monday show, saying they don’t have a proper understanding of history and Hamilton himself.

“These clowns in ‘Hamilton’ are playing a role,” he said. “They have their lines. They sing their lines in songs, and that’s it. And they think they are experts.”

But Limbaugh pointed out that, in reality, Hamilton was very much like President-elect Donald Trump.

“You know what the show’s about?” Limbaugh asked. “I mean, it’s Hamilton. It’s about a vice president who shoots a political rival and gets away with it, Burr, in a duel. Do you know that Alexander Hamilton was an immigration hawk? I wonder if the people in this cast have any idea who they are lionizing and celebrating. This guy is Donald Trump. Alexander Hamilton was a huge nationalist. He did not like states’ rights. He wanted a massive federal government. …

“Alexander Hamilton, he didn’t want anybody getting in the country he didn’t personally approve of. I mean, it’s uncanny.”

Limbaugh also noted that Hamilton authored a large number of the Federalist Papers and was a primary influence in the drafting of the Constitution.

“Alexander Hamilton was a profoundly unique individual, and I don’t think he is at all the kind of guy the people in these cast would celebrate if they literally knew who he was,” he said. “I think they know their lines and that’s it. They’re dangerous this way. Leftists are dangerous. They’re actors and they portray roles and they learn lines, and they think they are then experts.”

Furthermore, Limbaugh noted, Hamilton was a fan of aristocracy and actually wanted President George Washington to accept the role of a king. He said Hamilton was the “father of the Electoral College” and the founder of America’s financial system, the Federalist Party, the Coast Guard and even the New York Post.

“Everything these people on stage profess to hate right now, he was there either creating, inventing, or founding,” Limbaugh said. “That’s why I say, ‘I don’t think they have the slightest idea who the guy really was,’ and here they are highly acclaimed.”

Trump Election Gives America a Front-Row Seat to See Liberalism on Display

Speaking of Rush Limbaugh's insights............

Trump Election Gives America a Front-Row Seat to See Liberalism on Display

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: It's exactly what I said was gonna happen on Friday, folks. The arrogant condescension of the American left is now on display for everybody to see it. People that used to pay no attention to it, people that used to not even notice it, people that never knew what liberalism is are now getting a front-row seat to finding out exactly who they are and what they are and what they do and how they do it.

Greetings, my friends. Great to have you. I hope you had a great weekend. Rush Limbaugh here behind the Golden EIB Microphone for yet another three-hour excursion into broadcast excellence.

My first observation about the Hamilton episode with Mike Pence, I don't think the cast of this show has the slightest idea who Alexander Hamilton is. I frankly think they know their lines and that's it. And that's typical liberalism. They know the lines that have been written for 'em, but they don't know the man, they don't know the history, they think they know what they're talking about. They think they're authorities. Just like an actress who will play a farm wife in a movie in a Great Depression farm era will be called to the Senate to testify about dire straits on the American farm, when she had no idea. She played it in a movie.

Well, these clowns in Hamilton are playing a role. They have their lines, their sing their lines in their songs, and that's it. And they think they are experts. And then you add to it that they are liberals, and that makes them think they are experts and then you add the arrogance and condescending nature of liberalism and you have a totally offensive manner of behavior.

One of the especially hilarious parts of the cast of Hamilton lecturing Mike Pence was all their talk of diversity and how scared they are because, you know, they're all gay or they're all transgender or they're all lesbian and Mike Pence and Trump are coming for 'em and we don't want to be put in the camps, please don't put us in the camps! They literally think this because this is how they've been educated, it's how they've been taught. They really do think this stuff, folks. Just like they think the planet isn't going to be habitable by the time they're 65. I can't emphasize this enough. They believe this stuff. But not only do they believe it, they think they're the only ones who know it and that makes them experts in this stuff.

Now, their talk of diversity, I don't know if you've heard this about this show, Hamilton, the producers of Hamilton got into trouble back in March because their casting call for an upcoming touring company specifically stated that they were seeking nonwhite performers. They did not want anybody but people of color in the cast in one of the touring companies of this show. It's against the rules of Actors Equity. It's against state law. It's against federal law. But somehow everybody has forgotten about that. Somehow it was never investigated by the Department of Justice, Obama, or anybody else.

I once appeared on Broadway. Tell you a little story. The Will Rogers Follies were playing on Broadway. It was a musical and it had as part of the show Wiley Post, the ghost of Wiley Post, who was the pilot, he was Will Rogers' great friend and pilot. They died in a plane crash. And during the play the ghost of Wiley Post, seated in the audience, would stand up and repeat a couple of lines, and the actor playing Will Rogers would react, and it was a revolving door. The people they asked to play the ghost of Wiley Post sitting in the crowd, sitting in the audience, it changed every night. It was an honor.
