So you're saying that you were thinking these things (such as that Obama was
a Kenyan immigrant, which he wasn't), but were afraid of the consequences of
speaking them out loud?

1. Plenty of people did speak them out loud on social media and elsewhere.

2. Perhaps you should fear the consequences of spreading lies.

So now we've gone from "nobody" to "okay, just Rush Limbaugh" to "nobody
outside of AM radio." Keep going, you're getting closer. How about Fox News?
