Shameless Dickheads...
There's never any justification for attempting to make hay from a tragedy. Let's look at El Rushbo, with a brain pickled in hillbilly heroine. Never one to let tragedy stand in the way of his ignorance or self-righteousness he says...
LIMBAUGH: Yes, I think in the Haiti earthquake, ladies and gentlemen -- in the words of Rahm Emanuel, we have another crisis simply too good to waste. This will play right into Obama's hands -- 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 'em. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there. Could not wait to get out there.
This isn't about politics...it's about a response to human tragedy on a scale that will dwarf anything we have seen in this hemisphere in decades.
And then there's this gem...
LIMBAUGH: I want you to remember it took [Obama] three days -- three days -- to respond to the Christmas Day Fruit of Kaboom bomber. Three days. And when he came out after those three days, he was clearly irritated that he had to do it. He didn't want to do it. He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti.
As if there is any equivalence between the crotch bomber, where the greatest danger was being hit my fried scrotal shrapnel and the human tragedy of Haiti. A tragedy which will likely result in the death of hundreds of thousands of people. One can only wonder where the sanctimonious bitching of the right regarding the sanctity of human life in regards to abortion, goes in cases such as this. Especially when the victims are less than lily white.
But let's not forget Pat Robertson. His senile babbling on a deal with Satan for the independence of Haiti has led to this tragedy was a mockery. It was nothing more than another exercise in blaming the victim. An exercise which is so very popular on the right.
ROBERTSON: And, you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, "We will serve you if you will get us free from the French." True story. And so, the devil said, "OK, it's a deal."
And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other.
This was when "Kristi" should have simply guided "Reverend" Robertson off camera, removed his mike, and sent him to the nursing home where he could get his daily aricept, zyprexa and depakote and listen to "God" speak to him to his hearts content.
