Prove your case. Do you have anything authentically attributable to Rush Limbaugh? You don't.
You are simply making things up. If you aren't, prove it! That's all we ask.

Try reading the thread. The
whole thread. I'm not repeating myself for you, I've done it enough already in this thread.
Actually, on second thought, I'll paste it here for you again, because I refuse to allow you to hijack this thread by playing dumb.
From Post #104:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: "Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could
go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go
to the White House page to donate?"
Limbaugh: "Exactly.
Would you trust the money's gonna go to Haiti?"
Justin: "No."
Rush: "But would you trust that your name's gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?"
Justin: "Absolutely!"
Limbaugh: "Absolutely!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
The caller
wasn't concerned that the Red Cross has a history of misdirecting donations intended for specific disasters. They asked why they should trust
President Obama and go through the
whitehouse.gov website to donate to the Red Cross.
And Rush flat out said that
there is NO CONFIDENCE in the fact that donations made THROUGH THE WHITEHOUSE.GOV WEBSITE would ever get to Haiti. But, your name sure might end up on an email list -- Oh, the horror!
Here are the facts: There are scam charities that pop up every time a disaster like this happens. For that reason, many, many, many legitimate organizations and government websites provide links
directly to well-known LEGITIMATE charities on their web pages, specifically so people
can TRUST that their donations are going to a legitimate charitable organization and not a scam that's set up to
look like that charitable organization.
When you go to a known web page like whitehouse.gov and click through on a link provided there, it
redirects you
directly to THAT CHARITY'S website to enter all your personal details. The originating website never, ever, ever sees any of that information. Ever. It's done as a courtesy and as a means of instilling
CONFIDENCE.
YOU know this. RUSH
knows this. He had a perfect opportunity to disabuse this caller of the notion that the White House or President Obama would ever get either their money or their information. He could have explained to his caller how this works and reassured them that when they go to the whitehouse.gov website they are
redirected to the Red Cross website and
away from the White House website.
Instead,
he out and out LIED. And not only that, he went even further to say that the White House cannot be
TRUSTED in this matter.

Just more of the same - a non-story, manufactured by the Left.

I see you still won't answer either of my direct questions to you. What are you afraid of, sanrene?
