Instead of feeling grateful about surviving the incident in Hawaii, he goes on a mission to talk people out of helping those who are in need in Haiti.

That's just pure selfish evil talking through his mouth. If he doesn't want to help, then that is fine, but why the heck does he have to talk others into not helping either? I just don't get that guy at all.

I hope more people listen to Limbaugh and then dismiss his ravings as inhumane nonsense.

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).
I totally think we have to assist the Haitians. What they are going through has to be worse than the worst nighmere. That being said, it seems we have been supporting them and to no advail (spelling) for so many years. This appears to be one country that will never be able to survive without help and I am not so sure we need to keep throwing good money after bad..

They have a corrumpt government, lack education (most anyway) know nothing but poverty, HIV is everywhere and they have become more dependent yearly on aid from other countries, mostly America.

I smell a little conservative satirical tweak by Rush, as he jerks your chains and pushes your buttons.

Never ceases to amaze me how spineless many on the right are. They simply can't man up and call Limbaugh the pig that he is.

Anybody who fell for the "text your help to Haiti" scam from AT&T/Sprint didn't help Haiti at all, you just threw free money at the corporate overlords who will pocket most of it.

RayinAK thanks for shedding a little light.

but dont expect it to matter. These people not only hate Rush but want to hate him more.

so if you say Rush killed a 2 year old, they will just point out how evil rush is and not even care to hear or look for facts that prove he did not.
