Seems like the untimate glass house/throwing stones argument. Thanks.

untimate = ultimate

Well I guess we could show him all of the facvts like Obama’s father was a muslim which at his birth made him ne too or the school registration in Indonesia that says the same thing? Now what document does he have that disproves these?

This dovetails nicely with the left’s talking points this week.

The Republicans have put out an organized, coordinated campaign, from day one, to take down the president.

Please.

These people have amnesia. Bush-bashing never happened.

This many Americans did not arrive at such conclusions on their own. They were persuaded by a relentless process of insinuation, strategic silence and cynical misinformation. Most of the leaders in this process have been cautious to avoid actually saying Obama is a Muslim. They speak in coded words and allow the implications to sink in. I recently watched Glenn Beck speaking at great length about Obama's Muslim father, but you would not have learned from Beck that the father, who Obama met only once, was not a practicing Muslim in any sense.

Rush Limbaugh has told his listeners he can find "no evidence" that Obama is a Christian. In Paul Krugman's op-ed column in the New York Times on 8/29, Limbaugh is quoted: "Imam Hussein Obama, is probably the best anti-American president we've ever had." Limbaugh obviously doesn't believe Obama is an imam. How many of his listeners realize that? Is he concerned that his words will be taken seriously?

The planted axiom being, of course, that Rush's listeners don't ever hear Rodger Ebert's side of the story. But inasmuch as we are all discussing that very thing, I guess that silly idea is blown up from the git-go.
