Rush Limbaugh: No More Aid for Haiti

By John A. Farrell, Thomas Jefferson Street blog

Did he really say that? I guess so. I checked his web site. He's not even ashamed he said it.

For Rush Limbaugh, the deaths of thousands of Haitians in a natural disaster is just fodder for another hateful rant against American government and President Obama.

Said Rush:

This will play right into Obama's hands. He's humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, "credibility" with the black community--in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made-to-order for them. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there.

What kind of world does this nincompoop live in, that this nonsensical musing pops out of his mouth? What makes him see things through such an ugly prism, at a time when the bodies are still being dug from the wreckage?

And then this oaf went on to discourage Americans from making contributions to the Red Cross because, via foreign aid, "we've already donated to Haiti--it's called the U.S. income tax."

What a Christian.
