The website Media Matters is highlighting a comment from talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh in which he explains he can understand President Barack Obama's sensitivity to a state requirement for documentation of citizenship.
"Maybe he's afraid somebody's going to ask him for his," stated Limbaugh on his program Wednesday.
He was commenting on the president's use of the word "papers" as in "Show me your papers" regarding the new Arizona state law cracking down on illegal aliens in the state.
"The use of the word 'papers.' I mean Obama? Understandable," comments Limbaugh. "Papers equals Nazi. Your papers please. It equals Nazi. That's why Obama's using the term. I can understand Obama being touch on the subject of producing your papers."
"Maybe he's afraid somebody's going to ask him for his," Limbaugh said.

Rush: Obama 'afraid' of eligibility question? Talk-radio icon suggests prez 'touchy on the subject of producing your papers'
From the article:
According to a HotAir.com report, the president has commented, "You can try to make it really tough on people who look like they, quote, unquote look like illegal immigrants. One of the things that the law says is that local officials are allow to ask somebody who they have a suspicion might be an illegal immigrant for their papers – but you can imagine if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona, your great, great grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state. But now suddenly if you don't have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're going to be harassed, that's something that could potentially happen."
Here is a surefire way to figure out who the crimaliens are. Wear a black tee-shirt with the letters I.C.E. and an official looking logo to just about any Home Depot. The ones who turn and run are the crimaliens.
One thing is for certain, the illegal alien in the white hut is a mother clucker. Bwak, bwak, Barry.
“but you can imagine if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona, your great, great grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state.”
Yeah.. And then that little ‘incident’ called the Spanish-American War happened.
Who knew??? /sarc
Bwahahahaha! Go, Rush!
Methinks the Obama eligibility issue is beginning to gain momentum. Clarence Thomas has talked about it, Rush is talking about it, Arizona just passed a law about it and a few other states look like they’ll follow suit.
Wow! Limbaugh devoted a whole sentence to the issue!
That means he’s 100% behind Orly Taitz, you betcha!
Wow! Limbaugh devoted a whole sentence to the issue!Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd; a Rush Limbaugh trademark.That means he’s 100% behind Orly Taitz, you betcha!
Rush brought this up again today.
That means he’s 100% behind Orly Taitz, you betcha!
If I didn't know better, I would say that had a hint of sarcasm in it.
Apparently one of the side effects of suffering from the mental illness know as "Progresivism" is that it destroys any trace of a sense of humor.
Just gettin’ his line in about it before it becomes a big issue worldwide so he can go back to the tape in 18 months and say he knew now.
Rush had a joke he repeated several times. Here’s a quote from June 10, 2009:
“RUSH: What do Obama and God have in common? Neither has a birth certificate. How do they differ? God does not think he’s Obama.”
This is roughly similar. A brief joke, told in a sentence or two, and dismissable as, well, a joke.
It seems evident that Rush does not want to get into this issue at any length, even to describe what other people are saying about it, much less what he thinks about it.
But he has touched on it gingerly with these occasional brief jokes.
A very big point that Rush made today -
the communists used class envy to pit people against each other for their own power,
the nazis used race,
0bama uses both.
LOL.
It affects spelling ability too, apparently.
Rush is just a kooky birther and RINO. Time to get rid of RINOs like Rush. He’s just a fringe lunatic with kooks for fans!
(Sarcasm. Sarcasm. If I were really criticizing Rush, it would not be about this issue.)
It might be interesting to see if Hussein avoids traveling to Arizona.
