From a Chicago Sun Times Editorial:
http://www.suntimes.com/news/greeley/164863,CST-EDT-GREEL08.article
A second reason for not running is that the political rhetoric in this country is toxic. Attack ads, negative campaigns, personal assaults are an essential part of American politics. Bloggers, radio talk show hosts (like the poisonous Rush Limbaugh who calls the senator Osama Obama), columnists, mean-spirited editorial writers (especially at the Wall Street Journal), Republican operatives, spin doctors, publicity seekers, ambitious small-time politicians, fundamentalist preachers and rich businessmen will seek to destroy the candidate as soon as he announces. Like the Swift Boat crowd in the last election, they will stop at nothing in their efforts to turn him into political toast. Who needs it?
LOL :laugh:
This is just one of many Drive-bys who have accused Rush of this...
They continue to pin the "Obama-Osama" thing on Limbaugh. They've also tried to pin it on Sean Hannity (Who just got back from Iraq, btw. You should hear what the soldiers there told him about our beloved U.S. media).
Limbaugh and Hannity have merely played a recording of TED KENNEDY, yes THAT Ted Kennedy, bumbling his way through a conversation about Obama where he messes up and calls him "Osama" a couple of times. LOL :laugh:
The Drive-bys need to get some new fact checkers...
