Since you got this one wrong, your other reasons are most likely inaccurate, too.

Media Tweaked: "Light-Skinned" Remark Pinned on Rush, Not Reid
What did Rush say prior to this that provoked the phone call?

Maybe Limbaugh doesn't realize that in order to have "self-reliance", you have to have some semblance of a civilized society to begin with. You won't find that in Haiti at this time (and it really never existed in the past either).
Bingo.

To be self-reliant you need to either live in a somewhat functional society or be alone in a remote area. An area crowded with people and no functioning infrastructure is not pretty much chaos at best and slow mass starvation at worst. Limbaugh is just an overrated shock jock, not a political commentator.

That said, I have already donated because I always do in situations like this.

Well, then, it must be the terrorist Obama's fault then.

Yawn.

The problem is that the Republican party has been taken over by these god is great American Taliban idiots lead by Limbaugh and now Palin. They speak without thinking and simply do the Hannity horsey laugh or cut the sound when anyone gets to close to showing how stupid these idiots are. Limbaugh says there is nothing wrong with the health care system in America, well another misleading statemnt among thousands, yes if you are rich or have exclent insurance its great, no one said that health care is bad its the ability of many to afford it that is the problem. A twist of the words and slight of hand and you have a mislead argument by the rethorical masters.

Limbaugh is racist pure and simple, he is indiferent to those who are not fat and white and who do not believe in talking snakes, anyone who believes in science is a fool according to the great fatass rush. I for one wished he did have a heart attack and would have died last week. I do not regret this he is a pimple on the arse of society. He is the boil of all that is wrong with our system magnified ten times.

Limbaugh has gone off the deep end. It started years ago.

Can't believe anything these days.
Elegant simplicity, ty. They'll defend this lout forever, to the detriment of conservatives forever. Hope it's worth it.
