Rush Limbaugh Haiti Earthquake Comment – Rush Limbaugh comments on Haiti are creating a bit of controversy in the political world today.Rush Limbaugh made some comments about Obama’s handling of the Haiti earthquake,where he stated that Obama will benefit from the chaotic situation.Limbaugh said:
-Advertisements-This will play right into Obama’s hands. Humanitarian, compassionate. They’ll use this to, to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in, in this country. It’s made-to-order for him. That’s why he couldn’t wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there.
What are your thoughts on Rush Limbaugh Haiti?

Rush is an egotistical, bombastic, imbicilic,self righteous fool. When he talks he gravels like some demon possessed hate filled soul. I used to respect his commentary however, the political hatred and disdain for the trials of the average lower too middle class american’s life and their ability to protect their purchasing power as opposed to the purchasing power of the protected and bailed out corporate elites deems his veiws irrelevant and sophmoric.
This hatred was never more evident than in his statement on how Obama will use the situation of the poor, now homeless black Haitians. If President Obama did not react so quickly we all should condemn him for his lack of diligence. This is a human tragedy and should be reacted upon as such, leaving all political juxtiposing and punditry for a later time. But no, Rush is all about politics, compassion and reality has all but left his soul. Don’t be a blind Limbaughcile!!!
What Rush said is right. Obama will use this disaster to take the spotlight of attention off his disasterous health care bill. If what he said wasn’t truthful then you’d attack the substance of what he said, instead you just flounder around.
What Rush said is an example of his racists elitist attitude. Simple. Rush always play his race card and therefore provide concrete proof that is is a complete fool and idiot.

For a guy clearing yearning for someone to provide an argument made on the substance of Rush’s comments, you yourself have provided no substance and fail to recognize the lack of any substance in his comments. You are acting like he made a point. What Rush did was speculate. Speculation is anything but substance. Yet here you are, defending speculation and using this as an opportunity to comment on how democrats are poor people and republicans are the best. It is 2010, if you think there are only two view points in the world still (repub. or democ.) then you my friend are silly. You want to fix the world, start having your own opinions and don’t rely on others speculative point of views for your opinions. I’ll bet when you go out to dinner with a friend, you have to hear what he is going to order before you can order your food. You are what is wrong with America, a lack of independence and a total dependence on what “everyone” else thinks, says and does. Enjoy living someone else’s life.
I hope you are aware of how incredibly stupid you sound. I say that on a personal level, not a political one.
You seem to be incapable of matching simple sentence tensing, using actual words, or structuring an argument.
You don’t seem to have a grasp on the simple workings of politics either; political decisions are always based on reelection, very few ACTUALLY have a moral grounding. Rush is a very blunt speaker; he called bullshit on Obama because it had to be done. That’s reality. Feeling is not tangible, so you can’t truly argue that it’s a part of reality.
I am a middle class conservative; I work for every cent I have and I don’t think that people that refuse to work deserve any of my money. (this is a rebuttal to your first paragraph, which was not in any way related to the topic)
This poor excuse for a human is obviously still numb from his oxycontin usage. What kind of human would use a tragedy like what is happening in Haiti as an opportunity to push their political agenda, hatred, and racist beliefs? This toolbox needs to be shut down. I can’t understand why this ass has an audience to begin with, but to let him keep opening that hole in his face spewing the hatred and lies that he does without recourse makes me ill.
Rush has an audience because over 20 million Americans see past the blind hatred of democrats. You call Rush a racist, look at the class warfare and race baiting that you get from democrats all the damn time!! You can’t argue the substance of the issue, you have to call him names.. That just shows how pathetic the democrat party is. The media has carried water for them for so long that democrats can’t even state a case now, they belittle the messenger. It shows a lack of intelligence.
Jack, I am afraid that YOU are the one showing the lack of intelligence – not to mention any humanity. Maybe the Repubilicans can gain some credibiloity when they can talk about the issue and present a plan, rather than just point fingers and call people names and toss out insults. You and the rest are a huge embarrassment to the Unhited States. My friends outside the country are laughing in amazment at the childishness of the Republican party AND the right-wing radio talk show fanatics.
PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING. IF THE PRESIDENT DID NOTHING RUSH WOULD BE ALL OVER THAT AS WELL. RUSH IS MEAN SPIRITED … MAY HIS LACK OF GOOD KARAMA TURN ON HIM.
He is just a piece of shit.
Actually Rush Limbaugh, who is possibly unsure of his own sexuality (or lack thereof) yaps on and on; spreading thinly veiled racial slurs, to further boost his so-called intellectual expertise. The fellow projects an early 19th century century slave-holder mentality in the 21st century, and not worth further commentary.
June Harris says,

In 2 sentences, the “enlightened” liberal, calls a man homosexual, racist, ignorant, and dated. She claims he is not worth commentary, yet cannot help responding to him with a string of slurs and epithets.
Rush Limbaugh’s opinions are just that – his opinions! But he has the right to hold them, and whether you agree with him or not, you can’t argue with his conviction and passionate defense of what he believes is right.
I certainly couldn’t say the same for the current President of these United States.

His behavior and attitudes (along with the “Foxites”) are held by arrogant guys with little dicks.
What are my thoughts on Rush? He is irrelevant! Why give him coverage? He believes himself to be the interpreter of conservative principles. The only principle he really believes in is putting money in his bank account and will say anything to do so.
Rush Limbaugh is WAY out of line to be using President’s Obama’s response to the Haitian tragedy as an excuse to attack him personally. ALL patriotic Americans, black and white, Republican, Democrat and Independent, should unite behind the administration in its desire to give as much assistance to the other original republic in the Western hemisphere. It reminds me of the idiotic remark he made when former President Clinton was appointed by the UN to serve in Haiti–about picking up prostitutes there. Grow up, Rush–please.
Go AWAY, Rush. And take Bec, Coulter, Hannity, and the entire Fox Views staff with you.
When the head of the klan speaks no one listens these people are hurting and suffering and instead of reaching out and lending a helping hand or praying for hatian people he brings his racists views it just goes to show that he is more ignorant than ever get his butt on a talk show and have him explain why he made those comments make him look more dumb and stupid!!!!
I would just like to say although not an Obama supporter, any human being with a conscious would help out fellow people who have suffered so much loss. Rush Limbaugh comes across as an insensitive, conceited, arrogant bigot.
I think Rush Limbaugh is a hold over from the Pre-Civil War South era. His politics are open as well as his opinions. I believe he is the drum major to return the USA to the days of “White is Right because we stole this land and set up a government just for us”. Some of the venom that escapes his mouth is really very reprehensible. Honestly, I think he is on the drugs again.

If there was ever an evil person, Rush is the guy. Did he say when 9/11 happeded that Bush was going to get brownie points for his response? Nooooo! I am so angry that this country, especially the sicko right, has fallen to this level. 50,000 people dead, and Rush wants to criticize Obama. I wish someone in the Democratic party would take Rush on, maybe Ed Schultz, or Keith Obermann. Get him on television and prove him for the liar and hypocrite he is. I yearn for the day when politics at least pretended to be civil.
This just proves one more time what a really horrible man Rush Limbaugh is. The height of his insensitivity to the Haitian people and to the USA’s (lead by our president) aid effort just boggles my mind.
Why anybody listens to this man is beyond me!
nice excerpt. only a very small part of what he has said. you can make anyone say anything if you don’t put the comments in context and you edit properly.
did you not think that the left made political hay out of katrina? they did it even in the absence of any context and certainly never put the blame on the dem locals who had badly failed their constituents.
all disasters have success and failure. in the last few year, all disasters have become political. the dems started it with bush sr and have carried it on to this day….unless the prez is a dem…then he’s pure.
Rush excells at sound bites taken completely out of context to support his sick hubris. Bush screwed up with Katrina and people died. Obama acted immediately to send humanitarian (get that? H-U-M-A-N-I-T-A-R-I-A-N) aid as swiftly as possible. YOur buddy Bush made NO comment for 3 days after Katrina and it took a week for him to aid to New Orleans – supplies that were less that 500 miles away. So…..SHUT UP!
Say what you will about Rush… But I find it interesting that Obama reacts faster in the face of a tragedy in Haiti then he did to a terrorist attack on the United States, failed as it might have been. Actions speak louder then words… and I would have hoped that our president would have showed he cared more about our safety and security (by taking a few hours out of his busy vacation to make a statement at the very least) as he does about people in other countries who have their own governments and leaders to protect them. Haiti is ultimately Haiti’s problem not ours.
And what do you think Obama should have done? Bomb and invade Yemen?
Well I sat down and thought about what Rush said. He’s right you know. There ’s so much fake emotion in politics. I think the self righeous passion from either side is working to destroy this nation. If I have to pick sides, I’ll choose to work against this self feeding hatred for the left, and for the right. Can’t we all just THINK?
Does anyone still wonder why Limbaugh was denied a chance to become an owner of an NFL franchise??? The NFL, and it’s other owners, have way too much public relations saavy to have someone like him in their ranks. Turns out that all of the criticism from player’s and other owners at his attempt to own a team was completely spot on, despite his week after week of protesting on his radio show.
Limbaugh IS irrelevant. Has been for years now. It is heartening to see that nobody here is painting all Repubs with his brush. Only the very far right, looney-toon fringe elements take him seriously anymore.
Those of you who make these comments about Rush are in denial. Obama has taken every opportunity to use events in the world to try and force through his own kind of socialist utopia. If it wasn’t for Haiti he’d still be downplaying all the bad healthcare legislation (that Americans don’t want by a majority in polls) that democrats are pusing through.
The government of Haiti is a disgrace and will likely steal most of the $$ you are going to send to their country, unless you donate through a church which most democrats dislike as well. How can there be a god when Obama is your god and politics are your religion.
Quit being so knee jerk and look at what Obama is doing, he’s ramming legislation through without the Open, Transparent promises he made all through his election.
Personally if you Democrats think it’s ok to destroy healthcare to make a new socialist version, I can’t wait for Repulicans to destroy the tax system and implement a new tax code. It’s going to be halirious watching Democrats scream how the people don’t want it (like the hypocrits they are passing something the people don’t want).
Ah, how soon all you right wing wackos forget that YOU god, G.W., created the largest government we have ever had, and tripled our national debt (from the reduction accomplished by Pres Clinton – in trying to stop the incedable increases of Reagan and Busy, Sr.), the gross violations of the U.S.l Constitution (please read the 2nd, 4th, and 12th Amendments), his illegal invasion of TWO foreign country, his approval and promotion of torture, HIS institution of the $700 billion bail-out for his Wall Street baning buddies evernj BEFORE the election in November. Yeah – more Republican taxes benefits for the rich at the benefit of the middle class and the poor; price them completely out of any health care whatsoever, make THEM pay the bill. God help us all>
I am a proud conservative and definetly not an Obama supporter. That being said the comments by Rush Limbaugh were totally not called for. Anyone who looks at that situation and makes a politicaly focused comment needs to reevaluate his priorities. Rush, I am ashamed of you!
I used to think that Rush had developed language or brain disabilities when I heard him stutter iwhat I thought was frustration. Then it dawned on me that it is just an echo of his voice coming out of his ass – where his head is stuck for far up that daylight anjd oxygen has to be pumped to him. There truly is evil on the earth, and Rush is the poster-child (followed by Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, the the rest of the Fox “News” team). They all only appeal to those who measure their I.Q. in double digits (ah – matching wits!). Everything they call the President of the United States, all Democrats, all liberals, all progessionists, and even most Republicans who are not sitting on the extreme right, actually applies to themselves. Rush vows that he is not racists; then why is it that HE always plays the race card? Well, I guess that is just the phylosophy of the right wing fascist radical who are treasonous in their exortation to over-through the Obama Administration and the U.S. Government so the rich elite can take over the country and institute their version of communism.
WATCH OUT – MAY GOD SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FELLOW AMERICANS FROM THE TREASONOUS COMMUNIST BASTARDS POSING AS GOD FEARING EXTREMISTS (AND THE CHRISTIAN BRANCH OF THE TELABAN).
Those that listen to, believe in and vocally support Rush, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin -all of whom are for-profit- conservative-agenda-party hijackers- are on the older side 55ish-plus and will not be with us much longer. Death has a way of silencing old, backwards WHITE dinosaurs.
There will eventually be non-white and/or homosexual men & WOMEN equally represented in all levels of government and business. And you know what…?
There will STILL be ignorance, class warfare & hubris…
But I’d still love to see Reaganites, dittoheads and their hateful ilk choke on a flaming bucket of shit!
Adam, and I thought that Rush was the only idiot walking this earth. Your comment
on President Obama’s faster response to the Haitian crisis faster than the terrorist attack is ludacris!
Apparently, you have no knowledge, surely lack of intelligence, of how our fine TSA officials
respond to an act such as this. First of all the reaction was immediate. Otherwise, this terrorist asshole would have killed several hundred people. Second, the President and the proper officials were notified immediately. They just don’t let the general public, certainly people such as yourself, know what they are doing and how they are defending this country. Just like sports you don’t telegraph your plays.
You Rush loyal listeners and supporters are idiotic bigets just like him and hundreds of other unpatriotic
Americans. If you dislike the people your anscestors brought over here a couple of hundred years ago, then leave. You can get a passport and a plane ticket instantly. That is if you can afford one. Grow up white-Rush America! You are doing yourself and your children a disservice by following this idiot Aka Rush. He is a washed up drug user that is capitalizing and supporting his drug use on your bigeted agenda. Do you realize that He has several black friends that he frequently hang out with and he has been spending your loyal dollars not only on drug but also on the same black escort for years. They are referred to as escorts now. Check your fact buddy before you open that pie hole.
