A non-political relative just sent me the trash from LIMBOsevic (below), which she got from somebody with a name and e-addy. Luckily, today's Doonesbury had the fightthesmears.com featured, so I sent it there.

Subject: Barack lost his bearings.....

EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH, THIS IS WORTH READING...IT JUST SHOWS US HOW SCARY THIS ELECTION REALLY IS.......


From Rush Limbaugh's radio show today.....


RUSH:

Hey, folks, you want to tweak the Drive-By Media with me right now? Want to participate in tweaking the Drive-By Media? You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states. You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.'

You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells 'potato,' and we still hear jokes about it. Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states. Well, I have here a printout from a website called the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins. 'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations commission on human rights called combating.'


We're participating here in a tweak of the media. Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. 'Every year from 1999 to 2005, the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states,' this is from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And the title of the piece here is, 'How the Islamic states dominate the UN human rights council,' and there are 57 of them.

So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen?

2. I'm resisting posting my Michael Reagan moment...

If I said now about Limbo what he said about Mark Dice and other 9-11 Truthers, my door would be busted down inside of ten seconds.

3. Didnt he say 57 'campaigns' as in primaries...

Because in addition to all 50 states, there were primaries in places like the Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.

If this is all Rush has... wow, they are really hurting

Do you smell the desperation.
