Hour 3: Limbaugh Falsely Claims Obama Said U.S. "Is A Muslim Country"

This hour of the Limbaugh Wire brought to you by the "red-light express" ghost train
By Simon Maloy

Rush got the final hour a-rollin' with another plug for his interview with Sean Hannity, part one of which will air on Fox News tonight. If you're interested in seeing Rush say what you've already heard him say for the past five months, and seeing Hannity's child-like wonder at it all, we suggest you tune in.

Then Rush noted that CNN conducted another poll on the popularity of the country's Republican head honchos, and that Rush came in at 30 percent. Rush was pleased with this number: "[T]his is not bad for a Muslim nation, folks. For a guy like me to have 30 percent approval in a Muslim country, I'll take that any day. Well, that's what Obama said. He went over there and he said that the United States is a Muslim country." Once again, that's not what Obama said. Not even close.

Yeah, Rush is a moron who plays off the ignorance of others. People will believe anything he said. He does this a lot and people think he is some sort of awesome guy. More like an idiot who is using the general population for his crusade of hate.

Even though I don't love Obama, I agree-- the stupidity in some media blows my mind.  WHY are they so insistant on making Obama a Muslim?  And, like that would be a BAD thing?  Of the Muslims I know (and I know more and more daily), they are more peaceful than others I deal with..  So, Muslim would be bad? 

 You'd think they (Limbaugh and co) could find something negative, eh??
