RUSH: You just know the Drive-Bys, the State-Controlled Media, have been going through their Nexus database, they have been trying desperately to find any examples of your host — that would be me — over the past two, three years, whatever — claiming Obama was a Muslim. And they can\u2019t find it \u2019cause I never said it. But they want me to be the one who said it, and they can\u2019t find it. Folks, I don\u2019t know about you, but this is a Friday I\u2019m ready for. <\/p>\n

JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean this week and the past couple days here have been frenetic to say the least. So here we are on Open Line Friday. Telephone number is 800-282-2882. The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. When we go to the phones, talk about whatever you want, especially today, because I\u2019m ready for you people to carry this baby today, and I never, very seldom say that. I mean I used up, I have exhausted 150% of the half of my brain that I use. Did I give \u2019em the phone number? Yeah, okay. They know it anyway. I mean it\u2019s the same number for 22 years. <\/p>\n

You remember all those pictures that we used to get of Obama that the media would take that had the halo effect over him? And the media wonders why we think what we think. There\u2019s a picture on Drudge now that I swear makes Obama look like he has angel wings. He\u2019s standing outside the top of the stairs getting on Air Force One, the door to the aircraft is open, the way he\u2019s standing — you look at it, and it looks like he\u2019s an angel. He got angel wings. And here are the headlines that Drudge has linked under the picture. ‘Shock Poll: 24% Think Obama Muslim.\u2019 ‘White House: Obama is ‘Obviously\u2019 Christian.\u2019 I\u2019m going to get into this in a minute, but what\u2019s obvious? And, by the way, as much as the media and the Democrat Party hates Christians, why are they trying so hard to make him out to be one? They don\u2019t like Christians! Let\u2019s be honest about it. But now they\u2019re hell-bent on convincing us that Obama is one. And then Drudge has the New York Times Edward Luttwak piece that I talked about yesterday where Luttwak writes back in 2008 that Muslims think Obama is a Muslim because his dad was. <\/p>\n

And in AP: ‘Rumors Gain Steam,\u2019 and now they\u2019re all over the media, they\u2019re tying themselves in knots trying to figure out how you people believe this, how stupid are you? Who\u2019s responsible for this? How did this whole business that Obama\u2019s a Muslim get started? And they\u2019re looking desperately to find my name at the beginning of this trail, and they won\u2019t find it. Did you see the picture? Honest to Allah — he-he-he-he-he-he-he — it looks like they\u2019re making him look like an angel. All right, before we get into details, and I want to take this seriously because Bill Burton said it\u2019s obvious he\u2019s a Christian.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, media? Let me help you out here. I know you\u2019re going out there and you\u2019re searching. You\u2019re desperately searching, you\u2019re trying to be the, quote, unquote, ‘journalist\u2019 to uncover that moment when I, El Rushbo, long ago said, ‘Obama is a Muslim.\u2019 The closest you\u2019re gonna come is June 11th, 2008, when I quoted Moammar Khadafy, when he said that Obama is a Muslim. Moammar Khadafy, June 11, 2008: ‘There are elections in America now. ‘There are elections in America now. 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. 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.\u2019 <\/p>\n

September 9th, 2008: ‘Obama\u2019s Muslim Faith Slip Bolstered by Khadafy.\u2019 We highlighted it at RushLimbaugh.com. That\u2019s the closest I\u2019ve ever come: Quoting Khadafy. And the reason Khadafy says that Obama\u2019s a Muslim is because Obama\u2019s father, Barack Obama Sr., was a Muslim — and in Islam, if your father is a Muslim then you are. What your mother was (his was an atheist, by the way) is irrelevant. That\u2019s why Khadafy was out there saying that Obama is a Muslim. So, yeah, was I quoting Moammar Khadafy. That\u2019s as close as I ever came.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I\u2019m one who follows the news. In fact, I\u2019m on the cutting edge following the news. I know what the news is going to be before it\u2019s reported because I know libs. There is a new standard in our country for determining if somebody is something. Well, there are many standards, but one of the latest standards is United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. The real question here in determining whether or not Barack Obama is Christian is to ask this: ‘Does United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald have enough evidence to indict Obama for being a Christian?\u2019 Fitzgerald\u2019s definition of evidence seems to be evolving, and so that would be one way that we might direct the media. <\/p>\n

Just ask Pat Fitzgerald: If you were going to indict Obama for being a Christian, do you have enough evidence to do so? Now, let\u2019s go back to Bill Burton\u2019s statement — and, by the way, it\u2019s a gaggle. There is no audio of this. But he was asked a question yesterday by the media, and he said (Bill Burton, White House spokesman), ‘And so the president is obviously a Christian. He prays every day. He communicates with his religious advisor every single day. There\u2019s a group of pastors that he takes counsel from on a regular basis — and his faith is very important to him, but it\u2019s not something that is a topic of conversation every single day.\u2019 Okay, let\u2019s break this down, because this answer — while intending to be thorough and end-of-story — is evasive. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s very clever and very artful, but Burton\u2019s answer is evasive. The fact that Obama ‘prays every day\u2019 does not make him a Christian. Jews, Muslims, every other religious practitioner ‘prays every day,\u2019 some of them multiple times a day. Some of them have calls to prayer which are so beautiful that Obama thinks that they\u2019re ‘one of the prettiest sounds in the world.\u2019 Then Burton said Obama ‘communicates with his religious advisor every day.\u2019 Well, so do religious people of all faiths. What\u2019s a religious advisor? Dawn, do you have a religious advisor? (interruption) You…? Yeah, you do? (interruption) Okay, yeah, you got a pastor. We all have a pastor, a priest, a rabbi. We\u2019ve all got religious advisors. <\/p>\n

So Obama communicates with his religious advisor every day. So what? Big deal. He\u2019s making his Christianity sound like it\u2019s a policy thing and he has to have a meeting every day with his Christian policy advisors — and if it is that, if he is having policy meetings with his Christian advisors every day, he needs to replace \u2019em because they\u2019re giving him bad advice, \u2019cause this is the weakest answer to try to dispel a ridiculous problem. You know, what\u2019s fascinating about this is not what Burton says, it\u2019s not all these polls; it\u2019s fact that we\u2019re asking the question about the president of the United States. Who\u2019s doing the polls? Why, it ain\u2019t us. The poll is being done by the partisan political operatives known as journalists.<\/p>\n

‘Is Obama a Muslim?\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Do you think he\u2019s a Christian?\u2019 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re asking this about the president of the United States. <\/p>\n

And then Burton says, ‘There\u2019s a group of pastors he takes counsel from on a regular basis.\u2019 Well, so do people of all religions take counsel from their pastors. Most people get by with one, maybe two, but Obama here has a lot of them, a group of pastors. And then Burton said, ‘His faith is very important to him.\u2019 Yeah. Yeah. Bin Laden\u2019s faith is not important to him. Billy Graham\u2019s faith isn\u2019t particularly important to him. Pope Benedict? (Snorts) His faith is not very important to him. What is this? Obama\u2019s faith is very important to him? We are supposed to be dazzled by this? We are supposed to be mesmerized? We are supposed to be persuaded, convinced? Wow. Who knew that Obama\u2019s faith is very important to him? <\/p>\n

Faith is important to millions of Muslims, Jews, Hindus, terrorists, Buddhists. Atheists! Atheism is a faith. It\u2019s very important to those people. Obama\u2019s mother was a atheist. But none of this, none of it relates to the question of Obama\u2019s Christianity. Zip, zero, nada. This didn\u2019t cut it. Then Burton calls Obama\u2019s Christianity ‘obvious.\u2019 Well, uh, isn\u2019t that the point, ladies and gentlemen? It isn\u2019t obvious if we\u2019re polling it. Let me correct myself: It isn\u2019t obvious if Obama\u2019s own media is polling it. Bill Clinton\u2019s Christianity was obvious. Clinton was in every black church he could find. Clinton was out there claiming to be the first black president in a spiritual sense. George W. Bush\u2019s Christianity was obvious. <\/p>\n

He talked about it. He talked about it in ways that defined him as a person. Clinton did, too. Clinton was also very obvious about it because every time there was a sex scandal, we had him standing in front of the Reverend Jackson and others, ‘religious advisors,\u2019 and they were having prayer meetings and they were holding hands and so forth. It was obvious that Clinton was a Christian. It was obvious that George W. Bush was a Christian. It was obvious that FDR was a Christian. So obvious that nobody ever asked. No one even thought to ask, ‘Is Bush a Christian?\u2019 In fact, when they talked about Bush being a Christian it was to criticize him. We had stories and articles: ‘Is Bush\u2019s faith guiding policy?\u2019 <\/p>\n

When Bush talked about the desire of every human being to be free, that that\u2019s part of our creation, remember how they cringed? The same media that now apparently so love and respect Christianity that they are damn well convinced that Obama is one, and they are damn well persuaded that we\u2019ve gotta believe it. But Bush\u2019s Christianity? They didn\u2019t like it, and they don\u2019t like right-wing Christianity. They don\u2019t like Pat Robertson and they don\u2019t like Billy Graham and they don\u2019t like Jerry Falwell. They don\u2019t like Billy Sol Hargus or Billy James, whatever it was. They don\u2019t like NASCAR Christianity. They don\u2019t like Christianity that talks about pro-life. They hate it! The ruling class doesn\u2019t want to get anywhere near it. <\/p>\n

Now all of a sudden it is crucial that we understand Obama\u2019s a Christian because it\u2019s important to him. But we didn\u2019t have to ask it about FDR, we didn\u2019t have to ask it about Clinton, we didn\u2019t have to ask it about George W. Bush. Nobody asked Burton, ‘Okay, he\u2019s got all these religious advisors. Does he listen to them? Does he listen to their message?\u2019 because he said he never listened to Reverend Wright. He can\u2019t tell you what Reverend Wright ever said when he was a member of that church for 20 years. Did you know that Reverend Wright used to be a Muslim? Did you know that? You might have known that and forgotten it, but Reverend Wright used to be a Muslim and now he\u2019s a black liberation theologist. Which is some sort of Christianity, but he used to be Muslim. <\/p>\n

So nothing is ‘obvious\u2019 about Obama\u2019s Christianity, Mr. Burton, and the telltale sign is that you even have to say it. We\u2019re polling it! You see, Obama\u2019s Christianity is the opposite of obvious. ‘What do you mean by that, Limbaugh? What do you mean! How can you sit there and say ‘Obama\u2019s Christianity is the opposite of obvious\u2019?\u2019 Well, glad you asked. Let me ‘splain it. He has a Muslim name: ‘Barack Hussein Obama.\u2019 He had a Muslim father and an extended Muslim family in Kenya. He was partly raised and educated in Indonesia by a Muslim stepfather. He has Muslim half-sisters and brothers, one of whom continues to reside in a three-by-five-foot hut in Kenya. His mother was a self-proclaimed and unaffiliated atheist. Obama professed no religion and belonged to no church until he joined Reverend Wright\u2019s Trinity Church in Chicago. <\/p>\n

He did this in his late twenties and his mentor there, the estimable Reverend Jeremiah Wright, was a Muslim who converted to black liberation theology, which is a highly exotic (let\u2019s be politic here) highly exotic form of Christianity in the American, even black American, context. It\u2019s pretty exotic. Obama\u2019s great literary intellectual role model was Malcolm X. One of Obama\u2019s religious advisors is a Chicago Muslim, Eboo Patel. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf (or ‘Ruuf,\u2019 however he pronounces the last name) the controversial Muslim leader behind the plan to build the Islamic Center and mosque a couple blocks from Ground Zero wrote the afterward to Eboo Patel\u2019s 2006 book: Building the Interfaith Youth Movement: Beyond Dialogue to Action. <\/p>\n

So the Ground Zero mosque imam wrote the afterward to Obama\u2019s religious advisor\u2019s book. The religious advisor is a Muslim. So, Mr. Burton, Obama\u2019s Christianity is the opposite of obvious. You have to dig deep here to find it. Now, having said all that, none of what I have said means that Obama\u2019s a Muslim and none of it means that Obama\u2019s not a sincere Christian. If he\u2019s going to say that he is, fine. We will accept that he\u2019s a Christian. I still find it amazing we\u2019re polling it. And I have to laugh. Have you seen the latest examples of the media trying to convince us that he\u2019s not a Muslim? <\/p>\n

Pictures of the beer summit! Pictures of Obama with a brewski. ‘See! He can\u2019t be a Muslim; he\u2019s drinking beer. You know Muslim don\u2019t approve of alcohol.\u2019 They\u2019re going to great lengths. But he\u2019s not ‘obviously\u2019 a Christian. We have to take that on (ahem) faith, if I may use the word. We have to accept his Christianity on faith, to believe that he\u2019s telling us the truth because his Christianity is not obvious by any intellectually coherent definition of the word. (interruption) Well, no… The reason why some people are confused is Obama has spent 20 years listening to a racist, bigoted preacher who has a special place in his heart for the Nation of Islam who used to be a Muslim. It\u2019s not obvious, Mr. Burton, that your guy is a Christian.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/line>RUSH: Now, here\u2019s the point. On a lot of personal things like religion, I have no idea what Barack Obama believes. I mean this NASA mission to make Muslims feel good about themselves, they had to walk that back. I mean that was a head scratcher, wasn\u2019t it? The new purpose of NASA is outreach for Muslims to make them feel good about math and science? See, I think Obama is aloof; he\u2019s disconnected; he is condescending; he\u2019s stubborn; he is devoted to outmoded, failed economic ideas. He is destroying this country whether by accident or by design. He\u2019s an elitist who thinks he\u2019s smarter than everybody in the room. I think there\u2019s a personality quirk to understand Obama, and I\u2019ve referenced this countless times. This is the guy who if he ever got a C the professor would turn it into an A. This is a guy who has been told how smart he is all of his life. And he has believed it. He\u2019s so much smarter than the rest and these stupid idiots in the media say, ‘Yeah, we\u2019re just not quick enough to keep up with Obama. He\u2019s going to have to slow town for the rest of us.\u2019 Give me a break. He\u2019s not smarter than anybody else. Depending on how you define the term smart, he could be stupid. <\/line><\/p>\n

How in the world can anything that Obama\u2019s doing regarding economic policy, growth, American exceptionalism, how can any of it be called smart, much less brilliant? He\u2019s aloof; he\u2019s disconnected; he\u2019s elitist; he\u2019s condescending; he\u2019s arrogant; he doesn\u2019t hold news conferences; he apologizes for his country; he doesn\u2019t understand this controversy about the mosque at Ground Zero or, worse, he does understand it and is just giving us a thumb in the eye. He spent the country into debt hell. He\u2019s anti-free markets. He\u2019s anti-individual. He doesn\u2019t think individuals are capable of taking care of themselves. The government has to grow and do it for everybody. I know he\u2019s a statist. I know he\u2019s inexperienced. I know he has horrible judgment. I don\u2019t care about his religious beliefs, frankly, unless he\u2019s lying about them. It doesn\u2019t matter to me. Because like the Tea Party, we got a hell of a lot more problems with Barack Obama than whatever his religion is. I mean he\u2019s confusing. We\u2019re gonna play that Tom Brokaw-Charlie Rose bite again today where they admitted they don\u2019t know much about him. Nobody knows anything about him. We\u2019re having to ask people in polls whether or not he\u2019s a Muslim, for crying out loud.<\/p>\n
