RUSH: Now, while I was gone, ladies and gentlemen, a couple interesting things happened. The Washington Times reporting on Sunday that The Messiah, the Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful, was in St. Louis, when he was outlining his Christianity, but accidentally said ‘my Muslim faith.\u2019 ‘The three words, immediately corrected, were during an exchange with George Stephanopoulos.\u2019 We probably have it here in the sound bite roster. We\u2019ve got it. It\u2019s cut ten here. Let\u2019s listen. Let me find it so I can read along here on the sheet. Okay. Question from Stephanopoulos: ‘The McCain campaign has never suggested that you have Muslim connections. McCain said that that\u2019s wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: No, uh, well, uh, well, look, the — the, uhhhh. Listen, uhhh, you and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was, uh — was, uh, forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said, ‘That\u2019s off-limits. And — and — and — and — <\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: John McCain did the same thing about questioning your faith.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And what — what was the first thing the McCain campaign went out and did? They — they said, uhhh, look, uhhh, his liberal blogs that support Obama (nervous laugh) are out there attacking Governor Palin. I mea- ih, uh, uh, eh, L-l-let\u2019s not play games. W-w-what I was suggesting, you are absolutely right that John McCain has not, uh, talked about my Muslim faith, and you\u2019re absolutely right that that has not come —<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Uh, M-my Christian faith.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you know, slip of the tongue, Barry Obama, president. However, something more hilarious than even that. Steve Gilbert at Sweetness-Light.com yesterday sent out a story: ‘Moammar Khadafy says Barack Obama is a Muslim,\u2019 and there\u2019s video of this. I can\u2019t listen to video on computers because I can\u2019t hear it, but fortunately there\u2019s a transcript here. These are excerpts of a public address delivered by Libyan strongman Moammar Khadafy, marking the anniversary of the US air raid on Libya. This is from June 11th of this year. <\/p>\n

‘It has been proven that there is no democracy in [the US]. Rather, it is a dictatorship no different than the dictatorships of Hitler, Napoleon, Mussolini, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and the rest of the tyrants. In the days of crazy Reagan, the American president issued a presidential order to launch a war against Libya, for example, a presidential order to besiege Libya, a presidential order to boycott Libya, and so on. Is this a democracy or a dictatorship? &hellip; There are elections in America now.\u2019 This is Khadafy, still speaking. ‘Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. <\/p>\n

‘They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother, who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world. We hope that this is merely an elections ‘clearance sale,\u2019 as they say in Egypt — in other words, merely an elections lie. As you know, this is the farce of elections — a person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him, and afterwards, when they say to him: ‘You promised this and that,\u2019 he says: ‘No, this was just elections propaganda.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘This is the farce of democracy for you. He says: ‘This was propaganda, and you thought I was being serious. I was fooling you to get your votes\u2019 Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda. Obama said he would turn Jerusalem into the eternal capital of the Israelis. This indicates that our brother Obama is ignorant of international politics, and is not familiar with the Middle East conflict.\u2019 I am suppressing an allergy-related sneeze, ladies and gentlemen. So Obama now has Moammar Khadafy out there saying, ‘Yeah, he\u2019s a Muslim, a black brother with origins of Kenya and so forth, lying about Jerusalem.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Toward the end of his remarks, Khadafy said, ‘The thing we fear most is that the black man suffers from an inferiority complex. This is dangerous. If our brother Obama feels that because he is black he doesn\u2019t have the right to rule America, this would be a disaster, because such a feeling would make him behave whiter than the white, and go to an extreme in his persecution and degradation of the blacks. … We still hope that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs.\u2019<\/p>\n

Moammar Khadafy. You know, if I were Obama, I\u2019d get hold of these blogs. I\u2019d call up all these people like Khadafy. I\u2019d call every one of my supporters and say, ‘Would you shut up until after the election? I don\u2019t need this kind of stuff!\u2019 Not just the Khadafies of the world, the Jeremiah Wrights, his kook fringe blog people. His biggest problem (aside from himself) is his supporters, who they are and what they say, but I don\u2019t think it bothers him. It\u2019s like the Democrats weren\u2019t bothered when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad basically used their campaign talking points about Bush. They weren\u2019t bothered when what\u2019s his name, Bin Laden, would put out a tape that repeated Democrat Harry Reid, Pelosi talking points. (laughing) They weren\u2019t embarrassed by this. One more audio sound bite from Obama. I made mention of the fact in the last hour, this guy says he\u2019s for charter schools now. TIME Magazine has it: ‘Obama to Embrace Charter Schools.\u2019 What is this, Obama moving to the right? This is Republican stuff. I guess this Republican stuff sells pretty well, doesn\u2019t it? It says right here in TIME Magazine: normally charter schools are more popular with Republicans than with Democrats. And Khadafy is right. He doesn\u2019t mean this. He\u2019s not going to throw the teachers unions under the bus. He\u2019s just saying this stuff \u2019cause he knows he\u2019s in trouble, just like he says he\u2019s going to ‘delay\u2019 tax increases on the rich until after the election is over. Well, it\u2019s a tantamount admission that tax increases will slow down the economy! He\u2019s just saying this stuff \u2019cause he has to. And then he said this. Stephanopoulos says, ‘You know, one of our viewers wrote in and asked, ‘Did you ever consider joining the Armed Forces to protect and serve our country, and if not, why?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: You know, I actually did. Uhhh…<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: When?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Eh, uh, well, you know, I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school, and I was growing up in Hawaii, and I had, uhhh, friends who — whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of army base — military bases there, uh, and I all — actually always thought, uh, of the military as some, uhh, — an ennobling, uhh, and — and, you know, honorable option. Uh, but keep in mind, wha– I graduated 1979. Uh, the Vietnam War had come to an end. Uh, we weren\u2019t engaged, uh, in an active, uh, uh, military conflict at that point. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Uhh. Uhhhhh. Uh.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And so it\u2019s not an option that I ever decided to pursue.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now… (laughing) Yeah, since there was no war, he wasn\u2019t going to join. He only thought it would be noble and ennobling if there was a war going on. Since there wasn\u2019t a war going on, there was nothing ennobling about the military. Now, who\u2019s going to buy this crock? What kind of idiots does he think we are? But once again, he\u2019s moving right. He says all these things. This is like Hillary. ‘Yeah, I walked in there. I tried to join the Marines, but they didn\u2019t want me. They told me to go to the dogs,\u2019 which is the Army. Of course, I can understand how she could misunderstand.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, a couple things here about Obama. He said he graduated in 1979 and there wasn\u2019t really anything going on in 1979, the Vietnam War was over so there was no reason to be noble and join the ennobling profession of the military, but in 1979, ladies and gentlemen, US hostages were being held at the US embassy in Tehran by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and Jimmy Carter, the president emeritus of the Democrat Party, planning a bunch of secret rescue missions that of course failed miserably. So there was something going on in 1979. It just didn\u2019t strike Obama\u2019s fancy. And, by the way, about Khadafy praising our black Kenyan American with Muslim roots and so forth, I\u2019m reminded by my friend Andy McCarthy at National Review that it was Obama himself who started this Hussein business. Bret Stephens actually had it in a Wall Street Journal column yesterday. Who said this? ‘Well, I think if you\u2019ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that\u2019s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush.\u2019 Who said that? Moammar Khadafy, uh, Ayman al-Zawahiri, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Answer, none of the above. ‘Well, I think if you\u2019ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that\u2019s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush.\u2019 That was stated by Barack Obama. <\/p>\n

‘Sometime before Barack Obama\u2019s middle name slipped into the realm of the unmentionable, it was supposed to be a selling point of his candidacy. ‘Well, I think if you\u2019ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that\u2019s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush,\u2019 Mr. Obama told PBS\u2019s Tavis Smiley on October 18, 2007. ‘If you believe that we\u2019ve got to heal America and we\u2019ve got to repair our standing in the world, then I think my supporters believe that I am the messenger who can deliver that message.” So he thought back on PBS in October of last year that his middle name would be a great symbol to repair our standing in the world. This was a nod and a wink to the Muslims; I mean let\u2019s not couch it for anything other than that. Now he doesn\u2019t like it. Now we can\u2019t say Barack Hussein Obama without people having a conniption fit. But it was Barry who started it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
