Democrats Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh Tuesday, January 27, 2009 By Melanie Hunter-Omar

(CNSNews.com) – The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition for readers to express their outrage at conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for saying last week that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail.

The petition includes a 19-second sound byte of Limbaugh, saying, “If I wanted Obama to succeed, I’d be happy the Republicans have laid down. I don’t want this to work. So I’m thinking of replying to this guy, say ‘okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.’”

Meanwhile, Obama advised Republicans last Friday to stop listening to Limbaugh if they wanted to get along with Democrats and the administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” Obama said to Republican leaders who met with the president to talk about the stimulus package.

The Republican National Committee did not return calls requesting comment.

I could use your same points in the case of UFO’s conspiracies for proof but it isn’t enough, mkjessup.

Nice try but no cigar. It isn't a UFO that has been sworn in as the President of the United States without any confirmation of his Constitutional eligibility.

Rush is smart to stay clear of this topic of the B.C.
What it says, is that he's a coward.

What it says about you, is that you are just one more clueless soul who doesn't understand what is at stake here.

If you are pulled over by a police officer and asked for your driver's license, he isn't going to accept some doctored up xerox or photoshopped copy, he wants to see the real thing. Why? Because he wants to know that you are legally authorized to operate your motor vehicle on the highways that he is entrusted with protecting.

Because there is doubt, because there is no definitive proof that 0bama WAS born on U.S. soil, and combined with his effective refusal to produce such proof, it can only be concluded that he is NOT eligible under Article 2 of the Constitution, and this is an issue that is not, and SHOULD not 'go away', it needs to be resolved one way or the other, and if Americans can not be made to care about this, then they no longer even understand what it means to BE an American.

My tagline:

Until I see a REAL C.O.L.B. BC,

he's just "PRES__ENT" Obama = Without"ID"

That is truly excellent, well done. Good to see SOMEBODY standing up for the Constitution.

I can’t listen to him so haven’t heard what he says.
Some might not like me putting the COLB in my gif, I meant it as parody but perhaps should remove it.

As you wrote, if more of the media had at least ‘questioned’ it, it would have had some effect.

Thanks Phil. Wish that beanie cap would lift him up and fly him away.
