Maybe radio's Rush Limbaugh was trying to provide the Rev. Pat Robertson with a little cover, when he suggested on-air that people don't need to contribute money to Haitian earthquake relief.
It was Robertson who first suggested that the people of Haiti are paying for "a pact with the devil'' made centuries ago.
But it was Limbaugh -- at a time when the president is asking Americans to contribute money to earthquake relief and directing them to the White House Website to learn where they can help, as the State Department reports more than $3 million in $10 donations for the Red Cross through its text-messaging network -- who told a caller that all helping out will do is get someone on Obama's campaign email list.
"We've already donated to Haiti,'' Limbaugh told the caller on his radio show (here it below) "It's called the U.S. income tax."

Robertson is insane and Limbaugh is the biggest asshole in the world. |
Roberts is insane, no doubt. It's unbelievable that a civilized person in 2010 in the US would seriously say what he says.
But what Rush was saying is that if you want to help out Haiti, donate to them directly. And that BO has really made the choice to help them out for you by using your tax dollars to help them. So in effect we already are donating money to help them out.
I do support BO's aid to Haiti though. People donating on their own would not get naval ships to Haiti within days to help out.
