ugh, spare you what? my opinion? i don't say that to you when you post your opinion on here. you made no attempt to present your side, or refute it. you just dismissed mine....

i think sharpton is a righteous man. a little misguided at times yes, but i think he has his heart in the right place more often than not. that is a lot more than i can say for robertson or the voice of your party limbaugh...

if given the choice of who i would listen to or follow of the three choices, it would be sharpton for sure...

Guess what? You could not listen or follow ANY of those idiots...how about that?

Seriously, why do people always try to say how much better the dumb ass idiot that's on their "side" than the dumb ass idiot that's on the "other side"?

Not even close.

and it continues...rush makes an even bigger ass of himself, if that is even possible.....he resorts to name-calling when taken to task by a caller...of course he would...and we are the ones that are "close minded", "bigots", and "ill-informed"... :roll: typical right wing talkshow host defense....

Rush 'meant' what he said about Haiti

Rush Limbaugh is not backing down from his claim that President Barack Obama is trying to score political points off the earthquake in Haiti.

Challenged by a caller during his show Thursday, Limbaugh said: “If I said it, I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president.”

“Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion,” Limbaugh said in comments flagged by the liberal blog Think Progress.

Limbaugh has come under fire from both the right and the left for saying that the earthquake played directly into Obama’s hands, allowing him to look “compassionate.” The host claimed the White House’s response would bolster Obama’s standing in the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

He also appeared to discourage help for the island nation, saying, “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”

Critics have characterized Limbaugh’s comments as insensitive and tone-deaf at a time when heartbreaking images of the devastation dominate news coverage.

Confronted with some of that criticism, Limbaugh slammed a caller as “close-minded.”

“What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a blockhead,” Limbaugh shot back. “What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a close-minded bigot who is ill-informed.”

“If you had listened to this program for a modicum of time, you would know it,” he said. “But instead, you’re a blockhead. Your mind is totally closed. You have tampons in your ears. Nothing is getting through other than the biased crap that you read.”

Upon seeing the title of this thread, 'Haiti Brings Out The Worst In America's Worst', I was expecting to see that Rush & Pat were called out, as they should be. However, I was sort of hoping to see some of the other Worst mentioned... ya' know, people like Danny Glover and Ted Rall. I"m just sayin'.

Does one really need to have an opinion either way to see the folly of Danny Glover being the mirror of Pat Robertson on this?

...Rall isn't wrong in acknowledging or writing about our role - it was significant...

Look, we could debate that back and forth for several pages, but people could do the same about Rush's comments. I think he's an idiot, but then again I often think that about shills on both sides of the aisle. But that's always been an issue of mine with him, just as often feel it with Rall. The transgression, as I see it, is trying to make cheap political points hours into the tragedy. And I think Rall is just as guilty as Rush. Heck... even Jon Stewart was calling Rachel Maddow on the same crap last night after he lit up Robertson and Rush. It just ain't the time for this asinine kind of behavior.

a way to cop out of sending aid.



usually they send aid and tell everyone about so they can say, "see, we help other people". when we usually bomb them and kill their wives and murder their sons and burn down their villages.



The US does help, sure, but its a pr move if anything, doesn't mean we're right in invading countries.

:wtf: Are you serious man. You think this is a pr move? :roll: :crazy: We are always the first on the scene and we are the ones who always give the most. Whether it be from our Gov giving money or from private donations we always give no matter what. Not to mention the shape our economy is in right now. You have every right to have your own opinon when it comes to
war. I disagree with you but so what. But to say this is just a P.R. move is an insult to every american tha t has donated money. Especially if they couldn't afford it.

Umm.. yes, actually, one does. Because if it is in fact true that global warming increases the frequency of earthquakes then it's reasonable to say after a large earthquake that we need to focus on the threat of global warming. And, if it is in fact true, than there is no comparison to what Robertson said, at all.

So, yeah, I actually like to have facts and an understanding of the issue before spouting off.

Come on... he said, "When we do what we did in the Climate Summit... in Copenhagen, this is the response. This is what happens." This is no different, IMO, than what Robertson did when suggesting it was because the Haitians sold their souls to the Devil. Even if we were to embrace this nascent and completely unproven hypothesis put forth by Glover, he is engaging in the blame game and scapegoating at its worst.
