Caller Angela reams Rush up one side and down the other for not questioning Obama's bona fides back when it would have made a difference.
Telling him he and the pubies in high places owe us an apology and should hang their heads in shame for not calling his citizenship status into question before he was even nominated.
Rush got VERY defensive, sounded like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar...
Well...he would still be right, just unintentionally.
It wouldn’t be a magic wand, it would be the Constitution.
I’m not sure how much pressure can be applied by anyone on the right. Obama and his enablers will deny and lie and stonewall until they take their last breath on this earth. Someday, someone will have to uncover some evidence and facts that can’t be refuted or stonewalled, at least in the eyes of the still reasonable and open minded portion of our population.
Maybe Trump will find something like that, but the Obama cover-up network is vast and includes practically everyone at the lib colleges he attended and in the MSM and probably most people now in governmental positions.
The basic, logical, circumstantial case that Obama is hiding something has been there for all to see for more than two years, but it’ll take a lot more than that to crack this thing open.
But we are NOT sure that Obama Sr. was his father. For that matter, we don’t even know if he is currently using his real legal name. The only evidence we have that Obama Sr. was his real father is hearsay.
Fact: Rush treated this important constiutional issue like a joke. He used the Constitution as a backdrop for joke. In total during 2008, 2009, and 2010, he gave the issue less than 5 minutes of his time.
Fact: NOTHING is different about the issues regarding Obama’s eligibility today that wasn't exactly the same in 2008. Yet, Rush decides in 2011 to cover the issue? Unbelievable!
Fact: I predicted in 2009 that due to his less than 5 minutes of jokes, he would essentially say, “See! I covered it!” HOGSLOP!
Fact: I am disgusted with him and nearly every other conservative bobble head. But....At least Rush was nice about it. He wasn't nasty and insulting like Coulter or Beck.
You don’t know that to be true. If you were to somehow prove that he is ineligible for the reason that Obama Sr. was a British subject and O jr. came out proving that his father was a citizen you would have egg on your face and Obama would have the last laugh.
The long form BC IS important for many reasons. Nothing can really proceed without it.
Barf is right.
Rush is jumping in front of the parade and claiming he was the leader all along. Barf! INDEED!
As Rush said, there is no magic wand to unelect Obomba, yet he can work every day to try and make sure he isn't re-elected."
There's (at least) two points on this:
1. Barry "told" us that he was born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England. He never was a "natural born Citizen" and therefore never was qualified to be the Commander in Chief.
and
2.This issue STILL matters because IF Barry is allowed to successfully usurp the presidency in full view of millions of people who know there is an issue at hand...including those sitting in Congress and in the Military, his usurpation will be pointed to as precedent setting...allowing other non "natural born Citizens" a pathway to the office. The precedent would be that it's OK if someone who isn't constitutionally qualified gets elected and assumes the presidency.
No...this is STILL an issue to this day that must be addressed. His precedent must not be allowed to stand. It's about national sovereignty and security and repelling the forces of globalization (i.e the "natural born Citizen" clause is outdated).
Well, we are pretty sure that his father was black and his mother was white.
I disagree.
Proving he is not a NBC will unelect him and as a bonus would reverse all his moves.
------------------------------
Additionally, it would damage the (D) brand (at least with the "independents") for a LONG time to come. There is SO much to be gained, both Constitutionally AND politically, when it comes out that the (D)'s nominated an ineligible candidate who was pushed by Soros and other anti American sovereignty types.
An illegal POTUS is a big deal.
If Rush stated that, he's clearly ignorant of the facts. Hopefully he and Trump can come up to speed on the real facts, soon.
Good point! Not to mention the likes of BOR and Coulter.
Perhaps that's what Rush meant when he said he has been a leader on this issue from the start. Not that he talked much about it, or investigated Barry's missing background...just that he didn't outright ridicule those seeking the clarification.
[roll eyes]
“Pie-in-the-sky fantasies about Barry resigning based on some undiscovered smoking gun accomplish nothing productive, IMO.”
‘Please refrain from putting words in my mouth.’
You might do the same! I have no fantasy of Obama resigning. He will never resign. I want this used against him in an election, like it should have been done last time. And that’s all I’ve ever said.
?It’s easy to hide behind make believe names on FR and cast stones at fellow conservatives, but I’m curious to know which of you who are bashing Limbaugh have actually tried to make the legal argument through the court system. There are channels available to all citizens to make their legal case regarding Barry’s BC; whining about Rush Limbaugh, and accusing fellow FReepers of being on Obomba’s side for defending him, isn’t one of them, so far as I know.”
What a crock. Nice try. I’m retired and on a fixed income. Most ordinary citizens don’t have the wherewithal, the celebrity, aren’t lawyers, don’t have the expertise that are supposed leaders in the Pub Party have at their disposal to do anything other than squawk. We would get nowhere. Rush and others have a huge public forum to use, and have chosen not to. As leaders of our conservative movement they should have been right on top of this.
What I have been able to do, and have from the gitgo, was to go to one of the conservative forums, FR (although I have used other internet forums also) to give voice to my suspicions about our august leader, and to repeatedly bring up the issues surrounding Obama’s mysterious birth. I have been a birther from the start. You, on the other hand, are a wimp. Give me The Donald anyday over wimpy, wishy washy bunches of establishment-type Pubs with no backbone.
As we all know, the issue isn’t the birth certificate itself, it’s that if BO is B0’s father, B0 is not a natural born citizen. The birth certificate is only relevant to prove who his father was."
Rush was too worried about getting burned. He thought it was really a set-up and after all conservative talk show hosts jumped on board the birther issue, 0bama would reveal an authentic long form bc.
ANY of them, at ANY time, could have had an on-air guest who was knowledgeable and articulate about the NBC issue. Not one did. Their access to audiences of millions in that regard was wasted and did nothing to advance the Constitutional question. I am really disappointed."
They look to FR threads for advice. I believe that the Donald people are monitoring Conservative sites and definitely the research already done on FR.
Rush doesn't want to be equated with BOR, Beck and other "sane, reasonable" Communist-media-approved pundits.
I believe Rush made his choice by allowing Angela to talk to him live. He has grounds to make including the benign "why doesn't 0b0z0 show his PAPER TRAIL?" It's neither too much to ask nor loony to think about why does the highest-ranking person have zer0 paper trail.
Exactly!
Those that think otherwise, need to stop telling those of us who can walk and chew gum at the time time that we need to focus on elections only...in other words, to let his usurpation precedent stand.
Correction:
Rush doesn’t want to be equated with BOR, Beck and other “sane, reasonable” Communist-media-approved pundits.
