Is Obama smearing Rush?
www.suntimes.com ^ | June 15, 2008 | Chicago Sun-Times

Posted on 06/15/2008 10:50:10 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Barack Obama campaign starts new Web site to fight smears from political opponents at www.fightthesmears.com.

The first smear mentioned:

"LIE: Rush Limbaugh says a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word 'whitey' from the pulpit of Trinity United."

Well. No. This is what Limbaugh said:

"The rumor is -- and we don't like dealing with rumors here -- but the rumor is that Michelle Obama from the pulpit of this church used the term 'whitey.' Some are saying be very careful with this because she might have said 'why'd he,' why did he, the contraction 'why'd he' instead of 'whitey.' "

He added: "I can't find anybody who's seen it."

I hope Rush demands an apology for being smeared and makes Obama throw the webmaster under his bus.

Obama is getting desperate.
The big problem that communists have today is, there was no internet in 1917 when the communist revolution started in Russia. You can't stop the truth from coming out anymore.

Michelle, baseball aficionado she is, was referring to the hall of fame great Whitey Ford.

Darn it Getty Lee is the greatest bass player of all time and if Obama can’t see that then he is unfit to be President!

Rush needs to a parody of Obama as Kingfish, Michele as Saphire.. and Hillary as MOMMA.. John Mclaim can be Andy..

Because Obama is surely a White Man in Black Face..
There are many that can play the role of Calhoun the lawyer.. say Jeremiah Wright.. or Louie the Lip..

Would be the must successful renegade youtube parody that ever was..

Obama is a lowlife. Anyone not convinced of this is either not paying attention or also lives in the gutter.

The rumor was apparently started by Clinton supporter Larry Johnson saying that there was a tape and then on Fox News Dem “strategist” Bob Beckel mentions that something big was about to drop. Two weeks later Rush talks about hearing the rumor.

The Dems then cut and past Rush’s words to make it sound like he started the rumor.

Allow me to award the Joseph Goebbels award for outstanding journalism for this one.

Spot on.

Legions of people are stupid, and they are lusting after Obama.

I just cannot understand it.

I need to make this comment and I know I will take a lot of heat for this but it's a fact: majority of Americans are simply uniformed. There are a myriad of reasons for why this is happening but I deal with people on a daily basis and I find it tragic that most of them lack basic knowledge of US history and geography, less alone international. While they cannot locate Scotland on a globe they can tell me, however, without any hesitation, last year's American Idol winner or what is happening with Paris Hilton.

I do need to add the disclaimer that for some odd reason (actually not odd at all), majority of the clueless (which I call the drones) tend to vote Democrat. As a Republican in South Florida (clearly, I am a political minority) I have been through so many debates which ended up in the other party (Democrat) literally screaming in fury, almost foaming at the mouth yet not being able to deliver me any fact or clear-minded argument.

This is what is happening now, the clueless allow the others to tell them whom they should be voting for based on feelings and not facts. This is the result of a well thought plan, where education is no longer the purpose in schools but plain indoctrination and recruitment of future Democrat voters by the Liberal teachers/professors. I was born in a communist country and the Democrats' agenda terrifies me, plain and simple, and nobody with half a brain (yes, Ann Coulter was right, if Dems had brains, they'd be Republicans) would be a Republican. I never thought that the Dems could produce a worse presidential candidate than Kerry but alas, Obama has been introduced.

I want to set everyone straight on this rumor.

Actualy, Michelle said: “Yes, Barack wears whitey-tighties, and never, never wears boxer shorts.”

Is Obama smearing Rush? Maybe, but he certainly is laying groundwork for promoting the Fairness Doctrine.

Did you ever see the episode where Kingfish gets a fee for Andy to go to Saudi Arabia as a welder. Andy won't go so Kingfish is stuck. The last scene is Kingfish bending over a pipe with an Arabian guard he says: "Anybody here want to join the Saudi Arabia branch of the Mystic Knights of the Sea?"
