I myself don't allow myself to be influenced in regards to whom I deem worthy of my donations. I don't get upset if someone says don't give to this or that. I don't care what someone else thinks.
The fact that some might be influenced is telling. The fact that some folks worry about Rush influencing others and how they spend their money is also telling. Pathetic really.

Limbaugh mocks anything that is decent or reverent within the human race!
Well I am nearly finished listening to all his shows from this week and nowhere has he expressed a lack of compassion about Haiti.

What he has done is make some good points about the differences between good intentions and actually doing something of value.

I listened to his show yesterday and today and came away with the same conclusion and I am not even a fan of Rush.

This latest episode confirms that Rush fans will support Limbaugh no matter what he says or does. Get hooked on synthetic heroin, give the guy a break, get busted with a suitcase full of viagra in a sex tourism country, no biggie, call Obama a "Negro" it's a parody, he was quoting someone else, tell people that other people are already donating and you don't need to, what's the big deal. Even conservative Pat Buchannan criticized Limbaugh for his latest statment. Limbaugh can come out tomorrow and call Obama the n word and his fans will respond with the predictable response "it was taken out of context, he was joking, he was merely quoting someone else"

Mindless sheep

Yah, I figure that that's the plan.

He has lost a lot of weight, and is much thinner these days. It means that she should be able to slap that gnat without any trouble
