Rush Limbaugh: King of Pop 'died under Obama' - Video

According to Rush Limbaugh, a new footnote must now be added to President Ronald Reagan's legacy.

The US conservative radio host has credited the apex of Michael Jackson's solo career to the Republican leader's tenure, while explaining how the King of Pop experienced his fall from grace under Clinton and the disaster that was Dubya. Limbaugh lastly mentions that Jackson met his apparent tragic end during the Obama era.

However, he failed to note a tidbit that would've largely bolstered his argument: the Jackson 5 rose to fame while Richard Nixon occupied the White House, with their popularity solidified before Watergate.

Limbaugh also omitted another fact which conversely could expose a glaring flaw in his theory. The 1979 album Off the Wall which eventually went platinum was released under Jimmy Carter, a Democrat.

    • Ok, here's the deal...never post anything about limbaugh again. Kinda like a tree falls, does it make a sound? If nobody listens to him, and why are we listening to him?

    • He might have said "Jackson was an entertainer who was refreshingly detached from politics."

      He might have said "Jackson was undeniably the best pop singer/dancer of his time."

      He might have said "Jackson was a weirdo."

      But instead in usual fashion, he took the lowest of low roads, and tried to fashion a positive for conservatives and a negative for liberals out of something that had nothing to do with politics.

      Desperate, and sad. Sad in the pathetic way, not sad in the make you cry way.
