Rush Was Punked: “Obama Thesis” Hoax

[usregimechange]

It must have seemed so perfect. An obscure blogger unearths some pages of President Obama's college thesis. The report supposedly comes from big-time journalist Joe Klein of Time magazine. And the thesis has some real gems: like Obama's disdain for the Constitution.

The whole thing was nothing more than a satirical post on a humor blog. But Rush Limbaugh, who quoted from the supposed thesis on his radio show, sure wasn't laughing. Here's how it went down.

An unknown blogger picked up on a made-up post meant as a joke, which claimed that Joe Klein had gotten his hands on 10 pages of student Obama's college thesis. Rush Limbaugh jumped on it, which immediately sparked Web searches on "obama thesis."

Supposedly titled "Aristocracy Revisited," the excerpt revealed the president had "doubts" about the "so-called founders." Juicy. Except not true. Limbaugh discovered halfway through his show that he'd been had, but defended himself by saying basically the thesis felt true...

4. Orly Taitz needs to get on this stat

She'll come up with someone who has a copy of that thesis who can attest to its authenticity and add this to her long list of Obama conspiracies to stay in the nutbag limelight. Sure, Limbaugh 'thinks' he was had, but what better way to throw off Obama's detractors than to disguise this thesis through a satirical post. This should be good for a half dozen more Fox News interviews of Taitz.
