Beyond stupid!

by Mark Silva, Washington tribune

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."

President Barack Obama today announced $100 million in direct aid to Haiti for earthquake relief.

And the president's press secretary, who already had commented on the ''stupid'' remarks that Robertson had made, was asked what he has to say about Limbaugh saying Americans shouldn't donate money.

"Again, I think in times of great crisis there are always people that say really stupid things,'' said Robert Gibbs, the press secretary, at today's press briefing.

"I don't know how anybody could sit where he does, having enjoyed the success that he has, and not feel some measure of sorrow for what has happened in Haiti. I think to use the power of your pulpit to try to convince those not to help their brothers and sisters is sad. My sense is that most people, though, because they understand we're part of an amazing world, won't listen, and instead will seek to help those that they know, because through no fault of their own, have suffered an unspeakable tragedy.''

Robertson is insane and Limbaugh is the biggest asshole in the world.

A Look at Some of the More "ugly" Quotes from the "voice" of the Republican Party

With the recent near-collapse of free-market capitalism and the departure of a very unpopular president, the GOP has been struggling the last few weeks to find relevancy and a leader. After CNN host, D.L. Hughley referred to Rush Limbaugh as that
leader, RNC Chair Michael Steele, decried that idea and called Rush merely and "entertainer" and referred to his show as "incendiary" and "ugly." Comments like these did not go unnoticed by Rush Limbaugh, and with 20 million listeners it's best not to make him angry if you're Michael Steele. As a consequence, Michael Steele apologized, most like in fear of alienating Rush's conservative listeners in such a doubtful time for the GOP. But why apologize when it's clear he was right? Let's take a look at some of the more "incendiary" and "ugly" comments made by Rush Limbaugh.

Let's start with the racist ones:

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." (to a female, African-American caller)

"They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed."

"I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Now, some misogynistic ones:

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

"She comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life." --on his cat

This one is just ignorant and mean:

I wonder what he would have to say about transsexuals?

Try to remember this when thinking about the bashing of conservatives--they are the ones that are the owners of all these small companies that employ all the liberals that haven't found a job with the goverment or are on the dole. Those darm conservatives are also the ones that donate a shit load of money to all kinds of charities-not the democrat liberals-just check the record of your local democrat politicians-cheap bastards. Yeah Limbaugh can say some crazy things but most of it is really the truth. Alot of what he says is just sarcasim trying to make a point. And he does that well--by far the number 1 radio show. Now I have to sign off cause I have only worked 14 hours so far today in my own business--need to work more to provide for all the libs living off me. BYE

And that is why Obama is coming to Boston tomorrow afternoon to help Coakley. They need to draw out the bottom dwellers. All the urban welfare people who have that protected pie. Now people don't pic on me for being racist-far far from it- BUT they also need to get the black vote, the mulato vote, the spanish vote, the asian vote, etc You see the race is made up of two white people and Oakley being lilly white, blond and with no lips is a stark contrast from the vast majority of Boston's city dwellers. Here's hoping there are enough independant voters that can see thru all this BS. We are talking about the 41st seat-the regime breaker-the Obama nightmare--they are pulling out all the stops.

Vicky Kennedy came out to beg for you to vote for "Teddy's seat"--"don't let all of his life's work go for nothing". Brown says it is "the peoples seat" it belongs to no individual. Enough thinkers started saying-hey that isn't Teddy's -it does belong to me-the people. NOW Vicky is saying "vote for Oakley for the peoples seat". They can't even pump independantly.

Brown beat the tar out of her in the debate so immediately after the show-before midnight-the Dems started all thier prepared dirty commercials. Brown is staying clean .

Absentee voting is up 4-6 times what it was in the primaries. People covering themselves in case we get one of our bad new England N'oreasters.

Remember that little itty piece of pie-the one that the bottom 50% of tax payers that only pay 3%---yeah well the 3%'ers have 50% or more of the votes. That is what Obama is going after- the less educated- the dependers of the dole.

Here's hoping he fails at this like he failed with the Olympics.

Most of these quotes are urban legend. Snopes says for most of them there is no source. Rather than trying to dig up some obscure quote that Rush may or may not have said, or 2nd hand left-wing journalists versions of what Rush said, just listen to him. He's on every day, and usually says exactly what he says

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.
