I wonder how many of his dittoheads claim to be Christians, those that do should have no problem following their true spirtual leader, all they have to do is figure out which one it is.
As for Rush, well I am more than willing to leave his judgement to another.

AP is STILL reporting Limbaugh's "don't donate" remarks. This time it's a conspiracy. Imagine that.

You seem to be remiss in posting a factual rebuttal.

More paranoiac, conspiracy rhetoric with no facts.

Up-dated News,

Rush Limbaugh Stands by Haiti Comments

Controversial conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is defending earlier comments in which he accused President Obama of using the disaster in Haiti for political gain.

"I do believe that everything is political to this president," Limbaugh said on his radio show yesterday.

Obama was happy the earthquake occurred so he could use the tragedy to score points with Blacks and scam the American public out of charity money. Only a lunatic would believe this. Paranoid schizophrenia is what it's called.

Well throwing money at the problem hasn't worked so far. Clinton threw a whole lot of money on Haiti when he was in office, little good it did.
Would throwing money at Haiti really prevent an earthquake?

people are being scammed out of their charity money, sadly enough, just as after all natural disasters:

http://gawker.com/5451218/wyclef-jea...&autoplay=true

Locke indirectly confirmed that assessment during the press conference, acknowledging that despite raising somewhere on the order of $1 million per day under the pretense of providing emergency relief, Yele Haiti HASN'T SPENT ONE DOLLAR YET ON EARTHQUAKE RELIEF—though they have accepted free space on airlifts to deliver in-kind donations of supplies. As for what they will spend it on when they start disbursing funds, Jean said one priority is the establishment of a "security force." On the one hand, security is clearly a serious issue that needs to be addressed on the ground. On the other hand, we can't see how it's the best use of charitable dollars for Wyclef Jean to be putting one together when 2,200 U.S. Marines are arriving as we speak.
