Doonesbury Say What?

"America was built by people who reject everything Imam Obama stands for, reject everything Imam Obama is doing...Obama's propaganda is the propaganda of failed, dead regimes: the old Soviet Union, Cuba. Obama's railing against capitalism. He's railing against private property...Barack Obama is the antithesis of the founding of this country...Had Obama been around at the founding of this country and had he been known, he would be a joke in American history books today."
-- Rush Limbaugh

Let's see.

1. Obama is not a Muslim, he's a Christian. With the rhetoric being thrown around, some days it's hard to tell the difference.
2. Obama is not an Imam, which is a prayer leader or a mosque leader. I think it's in Shi'ah an Imam is perfect, cannot sin, and must be followed.
3. Railing against capitalism, when unregulated capitalism and greed is one of the major causes of the current recession, doesn't sound like a bad thing to me. Perhaps a little less greed would be good for the country.
4. Railing against private property? He wants to let Bush's tax cuts for the richest of the rich expire to help the rest of the country and these tax cuts are a significant amount of money. That's a bad thing?
5. Using Rush's definition, Rush is the antithesis of reason.
6. And had Rush been around at the founding of this country, Burr or one of the other founders would have probably shot him.

So, Secret Muslim and overt SocialMarxCommunist? I'm actually disappointed. Rush normally ties at least three conspiracy theories all together in one paragraph. Although, I suppose if you take his fellatio of capitalism as "I Got Mine, Frak You", then he meets the three standard.
