Rush Limbaugh Stands by Haiti Comments

[ChefChiTown]

Nice..case you hadn't noticed...there has been an effort to get that very thing done...but do you honestly think the US would sit back and not send a "measly" (lotto prizes are more in some cases) $100 million to a place where people lay crushed by buildings when we sent a billion to Indonesia????

Who is talking about Indonesia? But, I'm glad you brought that up. I mean, why not bring up other efforts that we've aided, so you can just support my argument?

Get real or grow up Chef.

You think I'm the one who needs to get real? Let's talking about getting real for a moment...

We spent a huge part of 2009 in a "financial crisis". Our entire banking system revealed itself as a true and complete failure and, if it wasn't for a goverment funded bailout, our country and it's citizens just might've be left without two pennies to rub together. Yet, we have no problem sending $100 MILLION to aid an earthquake relief effort in a country that has a long history of being in financial shambles? At the same time, we have millions upon millions of people in our own country who are without homes, jobs, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare (etc) and we aren't paying out shit in order to help them?

That's real.

Yes, the damage that occured in Haiti is absolutely awful. There are a suspected 100,000 dead and the destruction compares to that of nuclear warfare. But, explain to me how that is our problem.

If your family was starving and your children were dying, would you be feeding your neighbors kids before your own? No, FUCK NO you wouldn't. You'd help your own children first. The US is refusing to feed it's own children at the moment (and during many other moments in our history) and if things don't change, our children are going to die and there is going to be no one out there to help us. This situation (along with many others) is exactly like this, only on a much larger, national scale.

According to what was posted in a link here a week or so ago, $100 million is the cost of 100 U.S. soldiers in Iraq for one year. I don't know if that's true or not, but let's say it is. Do you really think that $100 million, whether it's spent in Iraq or spent on Haitian relief, is going to cause even one American to get or not get health care? Seriously.

It's almost amusing to watch people (suddenly) wanting to count pennies (in the grand scheme of things), when almost exactly 8 years ago, websites and radio stations were tracking each and every donation made by foreign based companies and countries to us for 9/11 aid.

I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh on a daily basis. But then I realized that his logic was based on trying to make the most noise so that he could increase his rating$. Over time, it seems that he's increasingly turned into a cartoon character... and as a human being, not much more than a bulbous sack of shit. Now that's my opinion of him. And yet, I'll always support his right to have his opinion on Haiti, Obama or the moon landing.

But still... I thought fat people were supposed to be jolly. :dunno:

Just so you know, I don't support or agree with the amount of money that we're spending on the war.

 

[Hot Mega]

yes it does mega
i was talking mostly of foriegn aid in general to them.
should have said that better.

ok so they had an earthquake, people died and lost alot.
I undersatand, its horrible i know.
So now what? how will sending them more money now help?
food? aint gonna happen.
rebuilding their houses, schools ,roads ect ect?
aint gonna happen.
not unless we go there, grow the food and feed it to them or rebuild it ourselves,
which isnt a bad idea, alot of construction guys here in the states could use the work.

I know that almost all of any money sent to them is gonna get ripped off by some snake.

Just face it...this is just another example of absurd shilling for another stupid political stunt by a another do/say anything GOPer.

Really, it doesn't matter how stupid or out of this universe the statement or political position is....all that is needed is a talking point delivered and the mindless follow in defense.

I NEVER did either. But that wasn't my point.

my posts werent mindless.
the usa will send/spend money on this no matter what, i'm just saying sadly most of it will be stolen and wasted.
as has probably been the billions weve spent/given to haiti in the past.
thats not mindless.
just think though, at this moment there are people trapped under rubble and we cant help them at all.
sucks

Looks like the only thing Rush-ing is Limpballs' gaping maw.

Those were loans Chef much of which are being repaid because the bailouts in large measure worked:2 cents:

Chef...am I going to have to spend another 15 posts explaining some simple, elementary concept to you in 50 different ways again before you finally get it.

Honestly (honestly) I have never see one other poster here lose sight of a point faster then stake out almost the exact wrong perspective and have literally the last shovel of dirt about to be dumped on them at the grave site before they eventually get it than you have in some of the issues here (now that's saying something).

When aid and relief is sent into a disaster area...it doesn't just come in the form or dollars...It comes in the form of supplies, material, payment to relief workers, funding for military equipment, personnel and support, etc...it's just not handing money to someone...

What the fuck is $100 m going to do someone who doesn't have the means to do anything with it???

But last I checked, we don't have a natural disaster occurring right now where 100k people are dead and dying in a matter of days...

We send aid to countries in times of emergencies because we have the means and it's in our human interest to do so.

 

[sporty_carr]

Where's the money to bail out the middle and lower classes in America?

It's going towards Obama's next vacation to Hawaii.

of course the USA is gonna be the main contributer in this current disaster.
both with money and personel.
we always are,no matter who's prez.
always our blood, our money.

Yet America is always the bad guy.

I wonder how much more appreciated we'd be if we just stopped helping everybody else and worried about ourselves for a change? :dunno:

Obama da Man and fuck that selfish bitch Rush Limbaugh! :

Obama da Man?

So you're NOT REALLY a true Conservative trying to overthrow the NeoCons that have taken over the GOP?

It's not nice to fib HELLRAISER. :nono:

 

[NYRICAN21]

The response by people all over the world has been immediate.... POTUS Obama with our military and the State Dept., Groups and individuals are mobilizing in relief missions....., social websites are lighting up with donations, as the collective human family extends a global empathic embrace to our neighbor in this small Caribbean nation. We are seeing the similar global response in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans , which was Phucked up by Bush and his Cronies.... it is only when one's basic biological drive of empathic engagement is repressed or denied by a secondary drive like aggression, self-centered faculties, and selfish behavior become to the surface with the likes of a Racist that is Limbaugh and the rest of the Right-Wing Neo-Cons... These individuals are nothing more than the first-class P.O.S. that they are..... :thefinger

 

[Marlo Manson]

We all know how inept and useless Bush was throughout both of his terms as president, but its better Obama show action and compassion to whomever needs disaster relief instead of being Known as the president that did virtually NOTHING for the victims of Hurricane Katrina... I am a bit confused about this??? where did Katrina kill the most people, wasn't it Louisiana of the United States of America??

These are lyrics from a song that somebody wrote in Protest of how the UNITED STATES handled relief to one of its own soil, I believe on a sunday. and these words are sadly the brutal truth of what happened following the hurricane.

"And then on Monday no one came
And then on Tuesday no one came
And then on Wednesday no one came
And then on Thursday no one came"

All the while there were victims, helplessly stranded, injured, hungry, women and children on roofs waiting for help, waiting to be rescued, and many of those people went on to die, cuz one way or another, the UNITED STATES disaster relief was not prepared, the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES has too be the person responsible/accountable for the way the USA and all of its emergency services and relief and rescue respond to disaster on our own soil.

Its great that were resourceful enough to help, aid, other countries when they are hit by disaster, but FFS when its AMERICAN SOIL the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. and BUSH failed those people in Louisiana.

Obama has to be better, more prepared for any relief/rescue mission home or aboard than bush was. FUCK RUSH LIMBAUGH HE'S JUST A GOP SUCK A$$!

 

[meesterperfect]

^^ see this is why i'm not a democrat.
just can be in that group.

Ok whynot? is what I wrote NOT true? Whats being a democrat got anything to do with what BUSH did following Hurricane Katrina? it was REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WHO WAS IN COMMAND! AND A GOP SUCK ASS OPENING HIS YAPPY TRAP, about Obama's RE-actions almost immediately after the disaster struck! So please elaborate your point since you used my post as your example. :dunno:

 

[Facetious]

<Where was Rush on Bush's nearly $1 billion to Indonesia for tsunami aid and relief?

When 'w' sent resources to aid the tsunami victims in late Dec. ought four, there was no *ulterior motive on 'w's' part to American - naturalize thousands if not millions of Indonesians, Sri Lankans, Sumatrans etc.

As a member of the vast <- scratch that) minority social moderate / fiscally mindful conspiracy, I don't think that the venerable 'ol blubberhead (rush) is too far off of the mark. From the sounds of this report, rush is only suggesting that he believes that the Obarry admin sees the Haitian rescue - recovery as a means to further broaden the voting constituency of the democratic party via humanitarian amnesty programs.


Do stay tuned as the population of the dying unsustainable former U.S.A. is about to ^ c/o obarry and his ulterior motives -> (VOTE DEMOCRAT !)...and here I thought that there was a push to decrease or at least stabilize our population growth.... but not at the cost of votes ! heavens NO !
:1orglaugh

Hmm...Okie...

Now that's quite ingenious (no, it really is). So Obama is sending relief aid to a disparate place rocked by natural disaster (an action every president has done, does and will continue to do) so that he can garner the votes of those he plans to grant citizenship?

Let me ask, why wouldn't they vote for him in any event if he enjoined them with our citizenry? Assuming poor immigrants would vote any different en mass in the first place. Oh:o , I ferget...Obama didn't just take over the office of the form-err Mess-iah, he assumed his power to create disaster too. But I see that Obama is an upgrade to Mess-iah 2.0 as he has the power to go beyond creating a man-made, disaster in another country to fix at taxpayer expense ala Iraq. Obama can simply will natural disasters in order to promulgate his evil schemes....:bowdown:

Man, it must hurt to be as smart ass you. One can only wonder, WWBD?

Rush certainly pisses the radical left off.

Bravo El Rushbo!

yours and the one previous.
its just that here on this board you rarely see a conservative type talking like a 15 year old punk.
its like that around the country too.
I think it says alot about the state of society in the USA.

you can say what you want of course, not denying anyone that.
I just see so much hatred and diviseveness coming from the liberal side from everywhere. its sad.
This country under Bush regarding Katrina did alot for those people and that city, probably more than any other country would have.
Obviously there were problems, but it was a disaster.
I doubt we will see the Haitian people after this mess is over condemning their PREZ for what happened because theyre not manipulated by a pro dem, biased news media.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Rene Preval doesn't care about black people.

 

[Hot Mega]

Most people who don't take Rush seriously don't hate him but just laugh at the people who take him seriously and defend his shitty underwear with their lives.

Just because no one takes him seriously doesn't mean he won't be called out when he plays dumb and lets fly with the "goof gas".

They talk any other way???

Fixed it for ya.

It's not about about politics and I could give a shit about Obama or Limbaugh but I don't. Helping the people of Haiti is the right right thing to do. Yes, we do have problems of our own here. But the U.S is the richest country in the world and we are morally obligated to help. Never turn your back on someone in need. The isolationist attitude does not work in this day and age.
