Rush Limbaugh Paints Haiti Relief Efforts by Obama Administration as Opportunistic

Rush Limbaugh: We've Already donated to Haiti . . . U.S. Income Tax

Warning that the crisis in Haiti will "play right into Obama's hands," conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh politicized the nationwide humanitarian efforts being made by Americans of all stripes on the heels of a near-unimaginable disaster.

Positing that race relations are a driving factor behind the Obama Administration's support for the stricken Haitians, Limbaugh said, " . . . they'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, both the light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country . . . it's made to order for them."

"Besides, we've already donated to Haiti," Limbaugh said later in the program to a caller. "It's called the U.S. income tax."

I don't know if this idiot ever had common sense. He believes that color means everything. White color for instance does not mean nothing when behind is a bitter sould like his. He should be sent to Haiti in order to feed the hungry pigs.

Another good reason to consider Rush not worth taking the time. I don't waste my time even thinking about his lack of intelligence.

I feel so bad for Rush Limbaugh, he must be one of those people that lacked love in his younger years, probably had his heart broken more than twenty times and all because of his negative, hateful and crude comments. Who are you Rush Limbaugh? What has Haiti done to you? How would you feel if your loved ones (if you ever loved anyone) were there right now amidst the rubble and danger? How would you feel if someone full of hatred told you that you could not do anything to help them because they are not worthy? Maybe one day you will feel like all these people feel right now...alone, afraid, desperate... Maybe although I doubt it, this could change the way you are. May God Bless the people of Haiti and may he have pitty on people that think like you... I feel for you Rush...

Is Rush human? Does he even have feelings. I doubt it when you start to place more value on the financial aspect and the hate than doing what is right you dehumanize yourself. Rush Limbaugh shall not be listen to and hope that he follow the teachings of Jesus "by loving thy neighbor" and not by taking the opossite position of "hate thy neighbor".

Any moronic lib nut-job who wants to read into this something that wasn't there is only proving why liberalism is a psychosis. Heck, Limbaugh's own website has a link for donations which is pretty amazing for a guy who allegedly "doesn't care". You people are government educated tools.

Once again, Rush shows his lack of compasion and ignorance. The expert in polarizing the views of so many while he gets rich.

It is sad when the Christians of the greatest Country in the World, resign to the influence of the likes of Rush Limbaugh. His comment on Haiti has caused me to kick him to the curb! It is one thing to talk trash about an administration; Each side does it all the time. But to infer that we should not donate because we already have, through income tax, is callous. He is basically telling us not donate because they don’t deserve it and our government should use what we already gave them. The same money that we are telling them to stop spending????? I’m done! Don't listen to Rush or anybody else that is not in support of helping human beings during a time of Catastrophic need.
