Story #8: Andy McCarthy's Brilliant Piece on Obama's Honesty
RUSH: Oh, that birther thing, you know, the birth certificate thing. Andy McCarthy wrote a brilliant piece on this whole birth certificate controversy at National Review Online. Really, he says, it's not about the birth certificate. It's about Obama's honesty. He hasn't released his law school records, his law review records, his Columbia records, his university records. He hasn't released a lot of things. This thing could easily be shut down if Obama would just release the birth certificate. You remember the Drive-By Media and the Dan Rather business? Dan Rather, faked documents. Mary Mapes and Dan Rather faked documents to show that Bush skipped out of National Guard service, and they ended up giving Daniel Rather an award! They circled the wagons. Peter Jennings and Brokaw, they gave him an award for great work. They circled the wagons.
They made it up, and now, "This is just a bunch of kooks. The birthers are just a bunch of kooks" and so forth, and everybody being told to avoid them and so forth. Obama could shut it down. There has to be some reason he doesn't want people to see that birth certificate. Maybe it's dual citizenship, who knows. But, as McCarthy points out: The birth certificate is not the point here. The point is we have a president of the United States who will not tell us who he is. He spends 20 years in an insane pastor's church who practices black liberation theology, which is basically African socialism, and says he didn't hear what I said. We have a president who doesn't want people to know him. We have a president who wants people to know only the public vision or version that we get when he goes out and makes these speeches with the god reverb and echo behind him.
