When confronted by a truther saying on his September 11 show that truthers make up a third of the country, Rush replied:
Well, you know something, Mark, what that tells me is that we’re losing one-third of the country to a bunch of insane lunatics, that 9/11 was an inside job. I saw an interview, Mark, with Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen got 20 minutes with Barack Obama. I read the transcript. And Charlie Sheen said, “Hey, the president’s the president, don’t you realize 9/11 was an inside job?” And Obama didn’t want to go there. If you can’t get the leader of your kooks to go along with what you kooks believe, then I would say that you’ve got a kook cause, 9/11 an inside job. I fear for the country because of such insanity and I’ve talked about the fact that we’re two or three countries today. I have no illusion that I have any ability to reach the insane. I have no ability that I have any sway over lunatics. And, frankly, I don’t even try. What I’m trying to do is make sure that the number of lunatics, the numbers of the genuinely politically insane remain as small as one-third so that you will forever remain the stupid idiot minority that you are.
[EDIT: AUDIO]
The Barack Obama “interview” Rush cites…is in Charlie Sheen’s head. Sheen, Deputy Truther-in-Chief, wrote a fictional account of how he would conduct an interview with Obama. The “transcript” was posted on truther website prisonplanet.com [TRANSCRIPT]
This begs a few questions:
First of all, what was Rush doing browing prisonplanet.com?
Second, really? Really? REALLY?
Here are some screenshots from his site:
Will Rush play Glenn Beck’s “Oligarhy/Oligarchy” card and claim it was on purpose? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, make sure to check out Rush’s picture from his Hawaii golf trip.
