Even in the original broadcast he did not say not to donate to Haiti.

His point was:

1) not to donate through whitehouse.gov so that your info would not wind up on a democratic fundraiser database.

2) US aid that has already been donated to Haiti came out of US tax dollars. I doubt that much if any of that money went to help the poor people of Haiti. Haiti is corrupt and very little of the money that went to the government went to help the poor people of Haiti as evidenced by the deplorable conditions there even before the earthquake.

What really irritates me and what motivated me to start commenting here is the way the mainstream media and front organizations distort and misrepresent what Republicans, Conservatives and especially the former President George W. have said. It is not so much about Rush as it is about any person that does not agree with the liberal media’s spin on the news.

Ogranizations like Media Matters distort the truth and they get idiots like Comrade Anomaly to believe them. So F Y’all and the horse you came in on. You can fool some of the people, but thanks to the NEW MEDIA you cannot fool all the people. Sorry, but your monopoly is over. The NY Slimes and The Washington Compost are nearly bankrupt. Freedom, Liberty & Truth shall prevail.

LIMBAUGH: Besides, we’ve already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.
CLEARLY, he was not advocating listeners to donate and to suggest otherwise shows just how naive a Rush lover can be.
He NEVER states in that original broadcast for his listeners to donate. It is always amazing how selectively people can look at something. Rush defenders over and over stated that he never said NOT to donate…yet they somehow think that he did say TO donate directly to the Red Cross..just not through the Whitehouse.gov. Go read it again and cite me the sentence where Rush tells people they should donate to help Haitians.
All he said was we already donated with our income taxes. Cold hearted and stupid. Yes, the next day he was re-inventing history and claiming what he said/meant was to donate directly. That is standard for Rush to change his the content and intent of his words on subsequent days to avoid getting pinned down to an ignorant statement.
You are right, Rush lovers will love him no matter what he says and does because they filter everything through Rush-tinted glasses

Here is a link off the Rush Limbaugh show website

Did you see the prominent red button that says “Donate to Haiti”

I think it is time to admit you were wrong. It costs money to post the link on his web site which in turn generates donations from his millions of listeners. He had to pay someone to put the link and graphic on his website – that qualifies as a donation doesn’t it?

It is time for you to live up to your promise – you can skip the pork chop belt. Being a gentlman, I will not hold you to that.

Limbaugh does not speak for nor have anything to do with the Republican party. He espouses the principles of conservatism and he is one of many leaders in the conservative movement. Aside from that, he is a businessman who has figured out a way to keep his name in the media with his controversial comments. He will even tell you when something he says is going to create a firestorm. The next day the idiots in the mainstream media will be bashing him. The end result of this is that it creates better ratings for his show and is making him one of the wealthiest persons in media. All you wingnuts that hate him so much are making him rich. Isn’t that ironic?

Limbaugh will never fail to turn me off, time and again. And he is not the voice of the republican party.

I agree entirely with your statements in response to my post. I has hoping to reach the other 2/3 of your country. My only hope is that I seen a post on digg.com the other day that showed polling stats for the election and from the age group of 18-30 there was only 2 or 3 states that had a republican majority. As long as the younger generations learn from our mistakes hopefully things will get better.

They (republicans) live in fear of there downfall and that will fight a dishonorable fight to the end. But there will be an end.

Second, Rush is just like any pundit on either side of the monochrome political fence. A liar and a profiteer. Yes, the quotes are out of context and yes he failed to look up the info on the white house web page first. He and the goons who mis-quote him are equally guilty of fear mongering and dividing the American people. They make sure we fight among ourselves instead of fighting the people who are taking away our freedom!

As promised, here is the link regarding the BUSH admin efforts to curtail the reckless lending practices of Fannie/Freddie in 2003. This was on the front page of your Bible, the NY Times.

Sorry people, but you can’t blame the mortgae crisis on Bush. If his recommendations had been followed in 2003, we might not have had the meltdown we had in 2007:

I don’t think there is such a thing as an all white or all black country. It is ridiculous to look at politics through race anyway. I’m sure if you go back far enough almost all black people have some white ancestry and vice versa.

@Anamoly – I did not listen to the whole show, so I don’t know if he said anything about him personally donating to Haiti. I did pass on your offer to “don a miniskirt and wear a belt of pork chops” if Rush would donate and I am waiting for verification from the show. Anything for a good cause to help the poor people of Haiti. And I’m sure he will donate to a reputable charity so the money will go the poor people and not the corrupt government there.

Peace Out,
