Rush Limbaugh: "It's Time To Do A 'Official' Background Check Of Obama", "The Media Never Vetted Obama" (legal, death)

[MaseMan]

Honestly, at this point all birthers should be consider traitors. People so filled with hate and so willfully stupid should be considered a national security threat. Send them to Gitmo for all I care.

Limbaugh...

Still setting the bar for the GOP and its followers.

No other "former police officer" has ever been identified as an actual member of the posse for this investigation. Zullo's experience as a "police officer" was more than 20 years ago, for a tiny police force in a tiny New Jersey burg, and was by all indications a failure. After a mere five years Zullo was off the force, trying (unsuccessfully) to make a living as a PI. This is generally diagnostic of somebody who did not leave the force willingly; who wants to keep playing cop even though he can no longer be a real one. There is a better than 50/50 change he was kicked off the force for incompetence or corruption. He soon even gave up the gumshoe pipe dream and moved to Arizona where his dad gave him a job in the family business as a used car salesman. That's what he has been doing for decades now. Selling used cars.

We got a sense of what a completely incompetent police officer Zullo was by his humiliating experiences in Hawaii where he managed to **** off and alienate every single non birther with whom he made contact. Heck... a 90 year old woman basically told him to go **** himself.

He is an embarrassment.

Name them.

I think you're being a bit harsh.

The media could look into many things like....... who exactly paid for his college?

Basically Obama has lived for 50 years without leaving any footprints. Let's have a look at what the media needs to look into and I am sure Rush would agree:

Obama/Dunham marriage license -- Not released (if one exists)
Original, 50 year old vault birth certificate
INS air travel records August 1-7, 1961 -- Missing
Obama/Dunham divorce -- Released but incomplete (by independent investigators)
Barry Dunham/Obama Kindergarten records -- Records lost (this is a big one -- read two frames)
Anna Soetoro/Dunham passport records -- Released, but key years are missing
Barry Dunham/Obama/Soetoro passport records -- Missing
Soetoro adoption records -- Not released
Punahou School application -- Missing
Punahou School records -- Not released
Occidental College records -- Not released
Financial Aid Records -- Not released
Passport Records -- Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obama's terrorism and intelligence adviser
Columbia College records -- Not released
Columbia thesis -- "Soviet Nuclear Disarmament" -- Not released
Harvard College records -- Not released
Harvard Law Review articles -- None
Illinois Bar Records -- Not released
Medical records -- Not released -- nor is the source of this nasty scar
Illinois State Senate records -- None
Illinois State Senate schedule -- Lost -- really!
Law practice client list -- Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None
Rashid Khalidi video -- Hidden by the L.A. Times
Why is Obama's biography a state secret in Canada?


Listen to Rush

. . . and all this from the President who promised the most transparent Administration in recent history.

The opponents didn't want that to happen. McCain was attacked as a racist over one of his supporters saying Barack's middle name 'Hussein' at a campaign rally. McCain forbid his staff to say his middle name afterwards because of the backlash. That is the real reason. Fear of being labeled as a racist.

I don't remember McCain being attacked as a racist.

In fact, one of McCain's best moments during his campaign was when one of his supporters at an event started talking the birther blather, and McCain cut her short. "No, ma'am." That restored many people's belief in McCain's integrity, which they'd lost because of his shift from a political moderate to a political conservative, and because of his choice of running mate.

All you have are threats, insults and slurs.
As for hate and stupidity - you appear to be the 'angry' one and you have no intelligent response to the OP.

I'm not surprised you support Obama on one hand and propose authoritarian measures to silence discourse you don't like on the other.

What missing records?

That list is bogus, because those records have never been demanded of any other President or candidate for President. If you demand certain records, but only of one individual, and not of any others, you should ask yourself why you are behaving in such a discriminatory manner. I'm not saying that you are a racist. But I'm saying that standards have to be applied equally and indiscriminately if they are to be considered standards. And that list is a glaring example of when requirements are not applied indiscriminately, instead being asked of just one instead of all. That means there is an agenda at play in the making of those demands. So, if you haven't thought of this before, perhaps you could consider it now, and tell us what your agenda is.
