Story #5: Three Bank Employees Killed in Greek Riots
RUSH: Now, look at this story out of Greece here, folks: "Three Dead as Anti-Austerity Riots Erupt in Athens," But look who the mob killed. "Riots over harsh new austerity measures left three bank workers dead in Athens." Who is it that has been ripping into bankers? The most powerful man in the world has been, Barack Obama, as well as his Democrat Socialist Workers Party. Three bankers are dead in Greek austerity riots.

What Rush's website failed to transcribe was the following " ... and the rioters cheered, 'Heil Obama' as the bankers burned. UH, Uh, uh, Folks --- that's the truth you won't hear from the state sponsored press!"
Now Rush didn't really say this, but "HEY, if he can llie and mislead, why can't I?"
