and anyone implying such rubbish is a total dumbo. Rush explains how the vultures wait with their ugly necks and brainless heads to pick on things that they deliberately misunderstand.
..... Now, this disaster in Haiti is worse than anything that ever happened in New Orleans. It's just an absolute disaster. The aid finally starting to trickle in now after about six days, but it's still very, very slow. The situation on the ground is unimaginable. I don't even want to describe to you the things that I have read with the vermin, the rats, I don't even want to go there. This is just unbelievable. It's unimaginable and for anybody to report that I said don't donate is absurd, and these people know it. The people who are making a big deal out of this, are themselves politicizing this for the express purpose of discrediting me, somebody they feel is a top-line conservative spokesman
They are constantly trying to discredit people like me, rather than debate us on issues. Nobody here ever said don't donate. We just pointed out you already contribute to the government with your income taxes. If you want to donate above and beyond that, go through a charity that's constantly on the ground in Haiti, or the Red Cross, if you want to go that route or whatever. Nobody said do not donate, which is what is being reported. I've had so many e-mails over the weekend: "Rush, the press is castigating you unfairly. You know what you ought to do Rush? You ought to donate a million-dollars, make it public or you ought to ask all the liberal media to ask what they individually have donated and then promise to double it. It would probably cost you 20 bucks." That was the funniest one I've seen..... read the whole thing

I personally dislike Rush Limbaugh, and I really disagreed with the tone of his commentary about Haiti.
ReplyDeleteBut he never said "do not donate", and the very same transcripts that many of these people linked to will confirm that for anyone who cares to read them.
For example, a British newspaper said that Limbaugh said "don't donate a penny" to Haiti.
Yet, when one searches the transcript they pretended would corroborate their claim, a search for the word "penny" comes up empty.
Mind you, they managed to completely fabricate numerous racist comments allegedly uttered by Rush, which are now passed around the internet without any reference.
They really are out to get Rush, and they'll stoop to anything. It's the kind of thing that has me thinking twice about him. I don't think I'll ever like him, but I may come to see him differently.
