Rush Limbaugh: Al-Qaeda 'Gave Up Osama Bin Laden' To Make 'Obama Look Good'

» 27 comments

On his syndicated radio program Wednesday afternoon, conservative host Rush Limbaugh floated his own theory that notorious terror group al-Qaeda 'gave up' its leader Osama bin Laden in order to make President Barack Obama look good, increasing his electoral prospects and advancing their anti-Israel cause.

'Wild theory, picking it off the wall,' he prefaced before saying: 'What do the militant Islamists want more than anything in the world? Israel gone is right. Even moderate Islamists want Israel gone.'

Implying that an Obama re-election would mean progression towards the end of an Israeli state, Limbaugh then floated his theory: 'What if Ayman al-Zawahiri and other al-Qaeda leaders gave up Osama bin Laden for the express purpose of making Obama look good? Giving Obama stature, political capital?'

'Al-Qaeda was not depending on Osama bin Laden for operational leadership,' Limbaugh continued, 'his day had come and gone. He's expendable.' Giving up bin Laden, Limbaugh said, would give Obama 'instant political capital' and 'furthers the cause.'

'Let me put it to you this way,' the radio host concluded: 'Do you think that militant Islamists will be as hopeful of getting rid of Israel with a Republican president or with a Democrat president?'

• Ya gotta love ole Rushbo. I think he is running out of ideas.
  What does ole Rushbo and a pitbull have in common? Both should be muzzled.

• Logical as always'-__-

• People who listen to Rush Limbaugh are suckers. You'd get a better sense of reality watching the WWE.

• This is fantastic, we finally get see how a bagger talking point is made'

  First Rush pulls it from his ass, then wingnuts repeat it on their scumbag blogs, and soon a Mediaite bagger is telling us Bin Laden was surrendered by al-Zawahiri to help Obama.

  *Spock voice*
  'Fascinating, Captain.'

• Republicans have officially surpassed the COO-COO stage. Their head water carrier is leading the way and there's no coming back at this point.
  With no credibility, an oxy-saturated mouthpiece, a clueless candidate and a lying Veep, they're throwing in the towel and hopping on the Crazy Train.
  America waves 'bye bye' as they head off to oblivion.

• And the defense will be, 'Hey, it's just a wild theory!'

  Wow.

• Makes about as much sense as the makers of Viagra and Oxycontin making Rush look good if that was anyway possible.

• LOL ' hearing the flapping sound of moonbat wings. Rush really knows how to get 'em flying! Freakin' hilarious as usual; watching you loons falling all over yourselves to offer the best 'hate Rush' responses.

  Sitting back to watch as the unhingement spreads down my screen.

• It's just SO obvious!

  Why didn't I think of that?

  Oh ya. I forgot I was sane.

• 'What if Ayman al-Zawahiri and other al-Qaeda leaders gave up Osama bin Laden for the express purpose of making Obama look good? Giving Obama stature, political capital?'

  Limbaugh,I think you are correct in your ruminations, they probably knew from the doctors that Osama bin Laden had 6 months to live and decided to give Obama that political capital.

  And yes al-Qaeda et al. will be more hopeful of getting rid of Israel with Obama as the president; thankfully he will not be the next president because Americans recognize his weakness and that weakness will get more Americans murdered if he is re-elected.

• Rushie is crying out for help. Is his wife denying him sexual favors?

• people who watch wwe know its a show'they dont call the police when CM Punk is attacking John Cena with a chair. Fact and fiction is properly separated. In a metaphorical sense, republicans are now calling the police.

• In all fairness'they're pretty much the same audience

• 'Pulling it off the wall'? More like pulling it out of your @ss

• Looks like el Rusho is still on the oxycotin

• Why is this man taken so seriously by so called republicans and conservatives?

  10-1 this ends up on the Daily Show or Colbert Report in the next week

• Rush, you're conspiracy theories are as bad as Van Jones'. Give it up.

• I love the way ignorance bothers the educated, vulgarity upsets the decent, deception disappoints the honest, cynicism agitates the patriotic' it's like watching a crowd scatter at a bomb scare.

• What if Rush used that point on the top of his head for something other than a hat rack?

• Looks like Rush Limbaugh is back on drugs. He is telling is low IQ Conservative/Tea Bagger/Republican listeners that Al Qaida is working the US President?

• u already said that

• 'Al-Qaeda gave up Osama Bin Laden to make President Obama look good!'

  'Really?!?

  Almost all Americans understand it was the Seal Team under orders from President Obama covertly going into Pakistan without their express permission that create that scenario. All stemming from CIA Intelligence.

  Limbaugh must be spending too much time in that box alone or the oxytocin hasn't reached what remains of his addled brain.

• Oxycontin is in the system. I thought Bush killed OBL.

• Hahah. Any further proof he's just a shock jock? Libs, being morons, think he's an ideologue. He sells advertising time fools. But sometimes he runs out of things to say.

• Why's Jon Stewart taken as news?

• Rush Limbaugh is either a complete moron or trolling for attention. Osama Bin Laden's day has come and gone? I think Rush Limbaugh's day has come and gone. Why exactly are conservatives listening to this guy?? There are more intelligent conservatives on TV and radio. Limbaugh is just a hateful old man.

• I guess Rush is pissed Beck is getting back on TV, I mean he comes up with stuff that even Beck wouldn't touch.
