Maybe Rush did say something like that.

He did. Here is a summary of Rush quotes on the BC:

 

10/23/08

Who announces days in advance they're rushing to the side of a loved one who is deathly ill but keeps campaigning in a race that's said to be over, only to go to the loved one's side days later?  See, I think this is about something else.  You know what's really percolating out there?  I've been laying low on this because it hasn't met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program.  

This birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Philip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate and he still hasn't replied.  You've got a deathly ill grandmother, you are going to rush to her side a few days from now, when you first announced this, you're going to rush, you're going to hurry, you're going to make tracks, you're going to get over there because you don't want your grandmother to die before you got there like your mother did, but somehow you keep campaigning, you take three days to get over there, if he's left yet, and this birth certificate business, I'm just wondering if something's up.  I have no clue, and folks, I'm telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it's popping up all over the place.  There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this.  

I don't know, let's say for example that somebody does come up with proof that something's screwy with his birth certificate and something's screwy about the fact that he's allegedly a natural citizen, American citizen, but may not be, dual citizenship, born in Kenya, who knows, there's all kinds of stuff out -- so what?  What's going to happen this late in the campaign?  Do you think if it's proven that they're going to dump him?  That's not going to happen.   http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102308/content/01125106.member.html

Let me just hit you between the eyes: It's a waste of time.  We can't prove it! When you can't prove something, you drop it.  It's a waste of time.  Now, the judge threw the case out in Philadelphia last week. A Mr. Berg had filed it and so forth.  Nobody was ever going to be able to prove it.  All there is is speculation.  Eight days speculation is not going to do anybody any good. It's not going to sway any independents. It's not going to change anybody's minds.  You know, the birth certificate thing, who knows? They may find out at some point, but you can't prove it, so it's a waste of time.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102708/content/01125109.member.html

 

10/30/08

I'm opening my own e-mail, and the e-mails that I am getting are getting a little nuttier, more so than usual.  And now they're starting to come in from smart people, people I know, people that are smart, insisting I focus on some issue that will have no impact on the election.  But they think it's a game-changer.  One of the big things is this birth certificate thing.  The birth certificate has been sealed by the governor of Hawaii, after Obama went to see his dying grandmother, who is still alive.  I know about the legal case that went on in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania with Mr. Berg and so forth, but, folks, it's a waste of time.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_103008/content/01125104.member.html

 

10/30/08

That's why we all need to focus on voting, and I know there's so much anger, this birth certificate thing, whatever things there are that you think the media is hiding, this LA Times tape, let it get you to the polls, whatever it is that's got you irritated, let it get you to the polls.  That's what matters here.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_103008/content/01125108.member.html

Yup, i thought i heard that he at leat mentioned it. but i disagree with him on three points:

-”I’ve been laying low on this because it hasn’t met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program.”

- We can’t prove it! When you can’t prove something, you drop it. It’s a waste of time.

-What’s going to happen this late in the campaign? Do you think if it’s proven that they’re going to dump him?

First of all, while i understand the smell test, it isnt dispositive of the case. Maybe his smell test is good enough for him to not discuss it on his show, but unless he defines what the ‘threshold” is for his smell test, it is just him blowing smoke.

Second, to say “we cant prove it” is incorrect. If the authntic BC was produced in court, the issue would be proven one way or the other. IT really boils down to a simple evidenciary proceeding. It CAN be proven, one way or the other- but not as long as the documents and truth is concealed.

Last of all, and most disturbing, is his assessment that EVEN IF it were proven, nothing would be done about it. Then why bother having a Constitution any more?
