Rush Limbaugh gets punked re: "Obama thesis"

[MattusMaximus]

Linky

It must have seemed so perfect. An obscure blogger unearths some pages of President Obama's college thesis. The report supposedly comes from big-time journalist Joe Klein of Time magazine. And the thesis has some real gems: like Obama's disdain for the Constitution.

The whole thing was nothing more than a satirical post on a humor blog. But Rush Limbaugh, who quoted from the supposed thesis on his radio show, sure wasn't laughing. ...

Here's a link to Limbaugh's show where he gets soooo punked.

The National Enquirer would approve.

Can't say this is suprising. But funny? VERY. LOL..

You're forgetting that Michael Moore is fat.

Reminds us of unsecured coins doesn't it?

Let me know when the fat deaf eunuch admits that he went off half-cocked.

[Limbaugh]"So, I can say, "I don't care if these quotes are made up," he said. "I know Obama thinks it."

Wow. Proof positive that facts don't matter to Rush. only his ideology.

What a disgusting little man.

the context of Rush "not caring I know he thinks it" relates to quotes made up about him regarding slavery. People didn't care he didn't say it they know he "thinks it"

I'd have to say that for an eunuch it would be pretty impressive to go off half-cocked.

he was making a tu quoque style argument, which doesn't excuse his making it.

And this fool is probably the most influential figure in GOP politics right now. Sweet.

What a sad little man. I just feel sorry for him. He displays some of the most disgusting and and reprehensible qualities in humans.

You guys are on the same team, you might want to get yourselves on the same page in the playbook.

Reminds me of "fake but accurate", and no more justification either.

So curious - Rush is a gullible person who doesn't bother to fact check and his listeners are being misinformed by him by his aforementioned inability to fact check and bluster about his misinformation. True or false?

Questionable. He may be lossing out to Glenn Beck. There is also Fred Koch in the background.

He proved that he will take information at face value and bluster about it without checking it out. Yes. I admit it.

I'm disappointed in him. I hate most of the conservative commentators. But I've been a fan of Rush in the past. I think he made a fool of himself in this.

Really? If that's the case, the Dems are in for easy times in 2010 and 2012. Never has a political party had it so easy.


Well, except maybe the GOP when Dukakis ran for pres ...
