Colbert Nails Rush Limbaugh Over Obama Christian Killing Accusations (VIDEO)

You have to hand it to Rush Limbaugh. When it comes to wild, unfounded accusations, no one can touch him.

On Wednesday night's "Report," Stephen Colbert featured a segment on the inflammatory radio host's recent on-air claim that Obama is sending troops to Uganda for the purpose of "wiping out Christians." Explaining that the "Christian" group Lord's Resistance Army promotes an objective "to remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people," Limbaugh left out that the LRA has terrorized the people of Uganda and other countries for over 25 years by abducting children, brainwashing them and forcing them to become sex slaves as well as torturers and executioners.

After rolling a clip of Limbaugh's claim, Colbert mock-criticized President Obama as a Christian-killer: "He's not only a secret Muslim, he's a secret lion." He then went on to show another clip of Limbaugh -- having just been informed of what the LRA does by a caller -- stuttering through an explanation that his show would research it more and do their "due diligence."

Colbert then snarked, "Of course, due diligence always comes after accusing the president of killing Christians."

How Is Rush Still On The Air?

He's entertaining

He's the only one brave enough to say the things no one actually thinks

He won a bet with whoever God reports to

Some weird combo of the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, and the Red Hat Society keep him around to do their bidding

Better question: How is "Cougar Town" still on the air?

Is there anyone left on the huffington post that still has an account open with Bank of America? Arianna's campaign to get people out of big banks surely made a difference.

Enough people think like Rush to keep him on the air, unfortunately.

God Bless Colbert and Stewart--the only 2 who tell the truth on the news.

Yes they are good, but there are others, such as Maddow, Olberman, O'Donnell, and more.

Well, there's Jim Lehrer, BBC, and Al Jazeera.
But Jon and Stephen are WAY funnier.

Rush, Hannity, and Beck can say anything insane and their blind and obedient sheep audience will never question a word.

[baileywick]

There is an intellectual vacuum to everyone I know who listens to Rush.
It's almost like they are school children. Very young school children.

Couldn't the Secret Service make Limbaugh's so-called life a living pain?
They could legally do all sorts of things since he has stepped over that line like an Olympic Long Jumper.

The people that listen to Rush are the same ones that watch shows about the loch ness monster, Sasquatch and ancient UFOs.

[Bigleague]

02:28 PM on 10/22/2011

No. I love those shows. But I abhor and loathe Limbaugh (as I do Beck and a lot of others).
At least there are minimal facts presented in shows about the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot/Sasquatch and ancient UFOs. And they are interesting, entertaining and serve a purpose whereas he serves literally no useful purpose on this planet except to waste oxygen.

[mwsomerset]

Rush's purpose is to serve as a bad example...

Good argument.
Had to dig deep for that one, eh?

[psnyder325]

Rush is still on the air because he is a good propagandist. Nothing he says is factual or true, but he is great at pushing the far-right Republican message. Never, never, never underestimate the gullibility nor overestimate the intelligence of the American public.....esp. Republicans.

[99er2049er]

06:49 PM on 10/22/2011

The same reason why we used to have the National Enquirer at the news stands and supermarket check out lines. No one believed the stories, but they were entertaining. But at least the enquirer evolved into a more credible news source.

[psnyder325]

08:58 PM on 10/22/2011

But...but....like the Men in Black USE the Enquirer as their best source for investigative journalism about aliens on the planet. I ALWAYS believe EVERYTHING the Enquirer says....

I hear he's off to see the Wizard, to ask for both of those things, and a heart...Don't worry, he's already got plenty of courage. How else could you be ok with spewing such outlandish remarks and not care!! HAHAHA

[99er2049er]

06:53 PM on 10/22/2011

Does Limbaugh have compassion? Or class? or the interests of the American people in his agenda? Nope.

" not only a secret Muslim but a secret lion".....that was so funny. I love it that the audience took a few seconds to get it and then cheered for Stephen.

Stephen liked it , too.

[jmitch6511]

Doesn't take Limbaugh to stick his foot in his mouth...huh? Just shows that anyone that follow, listen, or believe anything Big Mouth Limbaugh or Beck say is just as dumb as they are.

[psnyder325]

12:40 PM on 10/22/2011

These guys AREN'T as dumb as their audience. They are geniuses. They have tapped into the fear and anger that motivates the whole Republican Party and Republican leaning independents.They are able to provide a constant propaganda drumbeat. Unlike propagandists in the 1930's in Germany and those in the old Soviet Union, they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for being the mouthpieces of the Republican fringe. There is probably 100 IQ points between these guys and their audience. They've figured out the Zeitgeist of America right now and are laughing at their audience all the way to the bank. Who knows what these clowns ACTUALLY believe.
