Mr. Limb is nothing short of foolish to use a natural disaster to make a point.

Funny, because the media would've been in uproar if he hadn't responded the way he did. (remember Bush and Katrina?) Guess you can't please them all.

Whatever "hit the fan" while Bush was POTUS, was Bush's responsibility. It is called "Caption of the Ship." If Bush didn't want the accountability, he should never have taken on the responsibility!

This situation should be treated like 9/11. "We are all Haitians now." We as Americans should be solely focusing on one thing and that's seeing how we can help these people. It is totally inappropriate to be bringing politics into this at this time!

RUSH: No, I’m not evading it at all. If I said it I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president. Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion.

RUSH: And then I proceeded to suggest that Obama is going to be giving aid to both light-skinned and dark-skinned Negroes in Haiti, just designed to get the reaction I got — and it worked. The people that listen to this program laugh and chuckle every day at this stuff, because we’re just needling the media. They talk about me all the time and I can create it any time I want. It’s made you mad, and you believe things they take out of context that don’t completely say what I fully said, and you get mad.

Limbaugh is a media *****

I think what I find funny about all the heavy panting people that get all worked up over Rush is they often quote him actually making quotes from other people! ROFL!!

The temper tantrums the left has is due to the fact they know their arguments are invalid and useless so they have to resort to smearing other people and creating chaos and destruction. Sad really, but what can you do?

Ahhhhh... I think I'm doing that? Hence my comment.

Beleive me; I know what's going on. Im kind of a news and info junkie. You would be surprised at how many news publications I subscribe to via email. And I listen to "the evil" talk radio, too. I know what's going on.

I haven't been keeping up with the news to much. What did Obama do in Haiti?

Hmmm I'm guessing Drudge, Worldnut, Newsmax, Michelle Malkin, and I suspect The Weekly Substandard among other RW sewage blogs.

Yes, and no. Take the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) for example. A Carter era piece of legislation which is responsible for the Housing/Mortgage scandal and crash. This involved Freddie and Fannie as well. That was the Democrats. Bush just happend to be in office when the crap hit the fan.

But Obama has had the wrong cure for everythig that has happened. He is responsible (100%) for the way things are today. He is a total failure.

It has been said, that things could have been fixed overnight, with the right policies (tax cuts — proven to work, by three administrations). But instead, Obama raised taxes! Exactly the wrong thing to do.

This President has multiplied the problems. And he has done it on purpose. Obama is no lover of America. He wants to destroy it. He hates capitalism. He is a Marxist, basically, with a little socialist thrown in.

Anyone who talks about "redistribution of wealth" as Obama has, is not a capitalist.

This President is a skunk. Period. B.O. stinks.

I don't read Drudge too much (though I like Drudge — takes to long to load the site, and it updates constantly — I'm still on "dial-up"). I don't go to Weekly Standard too much either, though I like Fred Barnes, whom I watch on Fox occasionally.

Newsmax, yes. Also Real Clear Politics, American Thinker (Well, you guys have American Progress — is that a propaganda site or what?) Discover the Networks, Front Page. Occasionally I check in on the liberal sites to see what the idiots are saying (Huff Po, Daily Kos, etc. — These people are such liars!). Every now and then I look at what Media Matters is saying. What a rag that is! Might as well rely on National Enquirerer for your news!
