Rush dipping a toe into the Hawaii "birth certificate" story...
"Why is Obama ANNOUNCING he's going to Hawaii. Why didn't he go previously?"

"I'm just asking the questions Reporters would be asking McCain"

"A lot of people are starting to speculate....."


Why would he distract his audience with red herring stories that he has to know won't pan out?

2. Maybe Rush
doesn't know that Obama was born in Hawaii and that his Grandmother is dying. Maybe he is intellectually curious?

Haaaaaaa! I just cracked myself up. :rofl:

3. Just found out that the term "red herring"
comes from 15th century, refers to actually rubbing fish on a trail to confuse bloodhounds. I love DU.

4. The same reason Tuesday on his show he said....
"So, Obama is going to Hawaii to see his girlfriend...errr...I mean his grandmother. I hear she has a broken hip. Whats the big deal about a broken hip? So what old people break hips all the time..."

I kid you not...all I could think of is a swarmy attorney, knowing that something said would be called out by the judge, but in the jury's mind..its already etched...

Think about the fascists who listen to him...its insane...

5. Who CARES what Rush says? He also said Powell endorsed Obama just because he's Black.
That alone should disqualify anything else he says.

6. Another canard thrown up to see if it sticks. And the Republican monkeys amongst us will catch it
and fling it around.
