“On a recent show, maybe Friday (but definitely after this claim of Kenyan birth was released), Rush stated in no uncertain terms that he believed that Obama was born in Hawaii. “
Yeah! Why do Rush, Levin, Coulter, etc. defend Obama’s eligibility with such a passionate allegiance? For Rush to say that it was “conventional wisdom” that Obama was born in Hawaii and then spin some convoluted reason for the “born in Kenya” literary bio, was very strange to say the least.
I dunno, Rush is a master at beating the media at their own game:
If Rush goes along with the conventional wisdom that barryo was born in Hawaii, he escapes the instant "birther label. The media knows that when they can apply the birther label everything else that was said, the real subject matter becomes moot.
Rush is concentrating on the fact obama has not and will not release his records, that is where so much info on obama could really shine the light on the whole truth and it cannot be escaped or impugned with a "birther" lable.
And at the same time he is still letting the news out to his listeners that there are really valid questions as evidenced by this latest revelation, yet keeping the pressure on the media and obama to release his records at the same time.
Rush is not stupid, I think he has a strategy in this whole thing and knows he has to be careful how he plays this.
This is a dangerous game with incalculable repercussions, I think he know it too.
Just my $.02.
"Conventional wisdom" is a phrase that means "popular opinion" isn't it? So it is true that conventional wisdom is that 0bama was born in Hawaii. Further, Rush has always used the phrase "conventional wisdom" as a substitute for saying 'this is what the MSM and the left think' but he uses that cover phrase as a way to sarcastically deride them. That's how his use of it has always come across to me.
...and then spin some convoluted reason for the “born in Kenya” literary bio, was very strange to say the least.
His spin of that was convoluted wasn't it? And very obviously convoluted at that. But that wasn't really his spin it is what the left is saying. It sounds even more ridiculous when Rush says it and now the left has to agree with Rush Limbaugh's "stupidity" in order to say it some more.
