Think about it, perhaps my problem is that I have spent some time listening to his show recently given all the attention he has gotten in the past two years. Rush is an entertainer. He calls Obama, "Imam Obama" and the left goes bizarro about claims that the Right thinks Obama is Muslim - and Rush laughs at the reaction - so it does it more. The people who get his show are laughing too.
