Limbaugh: Donald Trump 'Performing A Valuable Service' (AUDIO)

Rush Limbaugh defended Donald Trump, who has caused controversy with his comments about President Obama's birth certificate, saying that Trump is "performing a valuable service."

Trump got into a heated argument with Whoopi Goldberg on Wednesday's "The View," after he said that Obama must have "something on the birth certificate that he doesn't like." This comes after an interview with ABC News where Trump said he has "doubt" about Obama's citizenship.

But on his Thursday show, Limbaugh said Trump was raising vital issues.

"You and I have known all along that we're dealing with a man-child here who has, literally, no qualifications, no experience, and according to Donald Trump now, no birth certificate," Limbaugh said. "Trump is performing a valuable service here. He is attempting to help Obama out of a jam. You can't say Trump is a kook right-wing birther. Trump realized the problem that Obama faces here with credibility. He's giving him a chance here to establish some credibility by producing the birth certificate.

The media was "covering it up" and "papering it over," he said. "Trump's not the kind of guy to comb over difficulties. If he's going to bring this up...you know that it's serious."

So, now we find out why Trump is speaking such gibberish! He needed approval from RL. Now Trump can go on to run for president, and of course, he now become more and more outrageous in his comments. RL will protect him!!!

The don't accept the legal document, they will never accept anything. If they heard a rumor that there was a video of the birth they woud be demanding that.

They don't accept a 'certificate of live birth' which is not a long form birth cert or similar with the attending Dr's signature. So just show it and we can be done with this nonsense. Holding it back and claiming the long form is all 'they' need to show is just prolonging this circus. The Goofball Gov'nor of Hawaii didn't help things either when he said he was going to prove it existed - then didn't. Jeez now we have Trump in the center ring.

Enough already.

No they haven't. No other President has ever been asked to release his birth certificate to the public/media. Why should the most powerful man in the world pander to the sleaziest?

Limbaugh quote: "If he's (Trump's) going to bring this up...you know that it's serious."


Yeah, Trump's mouth is a prayer book. He wouldn't shoot it off just to keep his name in the daily news.

Isn't the saddest thing knowing that Paddy Chayefsky is no longer around to make art from all this material?

I hate to say it but I agree with Rush. He is correct here.

If you truly agree with limbaugh, it probably safe to assume that you convinced to believe just about anything. LOL!

LOL! All in humor my friend. All in humor. Rush is a very good con-artist and I must remind you that a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Man, this guy is really desperate to get some of his former news value back-trying to hitch a ride on trumps coat-tails- I almost feel sorry for him!

"Trump's not the kind of guy to comb over difficulties."

I laughed so hard when I read this I almost lost my lunch..... If anyone knows about combing over it's Trump.

He is exhibit A that any woman that he is marrying is largely doing so for the money. I could be wrong but I don't think so. There is nothing likeable about such an arrogant bowl of waste.
