Rush Limbaugh claimed yesterday, Friday, Nov 13, 2009, that President Barrack Obama is just like Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan the alleged Ft. Hood shooter who has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder.

“But if we’re going to ask, ‘Why did [Hasan] do it?’ knowing full well that he’s in the same mosque in 2001 with the radical preacher going nuts, we’re going to also have to believe that the guy was just like Obama and didn’t hear Reverend Wright’s words when he was in his church,” Limbaugh said.

So, not only is the President of the United States just like a mass-murdering lunatic, but Reverend Jeremiah Wright is just like the radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. While it’s a gigantic stretch to tie President Obama to Hasan, or even Wright to al-Awlaki, it’s no stretch at all to say this is radical conservative commentary at its most crazy.

This is another example of Limbaugh’s inability to steer clear of crazy talk, and he and fellow conservative looney Glenn Beck are neck-and-neck in their head long race to be king of the asylum. Sooner or later, one or both of them is going to go too far and find they are unemployed.
