I think the entire birther issue is meaningless distraction from the actual issues we need to deal with. I certainly support verifying a candidates eligibility, but I think that the birthers are grasping at straws. President Obama has been elected - if people want him removed they have the opportunity to do so on November 6.
And yet, Limbaugh's listeners are still dwelling in it, hoping for a continuation of the rhetoric. What do you think Limbaugh's response should have been?

There, you needed evidence. You got it.
That is not evidence of your assertion that Limbaugh listeners don't think critically - it is a generalization made by citing one example of a listener who apparently is a birther. You are making assumptions about the shows listenesr and you specifically assumed that I fell into your contrived "box" without any support and I have proved to you that your assumption was wrong.
I did not listen to that show so I will not comment on what Rush should have said - I only take issue with your stereotypical view of people who listen to the show. You may hold a different political opinion then me - however attacking me because I listen to a particular program occasionally is a very weak tactic. I do not agree with everything that Rush says and often think that he is wrong - so do many other listeners. The show is informative, entertaining, and provides a fresh perspective that the MSM often ignores. You would do well to understand this and avoid logical fallacies and demonizing Rush listeners.
Limbaugh and his followers are pulling stuff out of their behinds to make President look bad. They don't seem to care that they are running many people away from the republican party.
Thats why the Republican campaign gatherings resemble klan rallies. No one wants to be a part of that.
Klan rally? Really?
When was the last time you were in attendance at a Klan Rally?
He is the author of two autobiographies. He already has had more books written about him (pro and con) than any other modern president. He has been President of the United States for almost four years, he was a US Senator for three years before that and an Illinois State Senator for seven years before that... all the time in the public eye.
Anybody who has to ask the question "who is the real guy" has no excuse for being ignorant of the answer.
The real Obama is a mainstream, slightly left of center American politician in the tradition of American progressives going back at least as far as Teddy Roosevelt. He is smarter and more charismatic than most, and he is black.
You tell me which of those characteristics fuels your hatred towards him.

Nonsense. The cottage industry of Obamahater lies can be attributed to no lack of transparency on the part of this president. This has been proved by more than three years of furious goal post moving on the part of those who cannot apparently find anything true to attack.
Remember... he was asked for his birth certificate for the first time on June 9th, 2008. He released it just four days later. We all know how well that worked.
