Vanity Fair Attacks Rush Limbaugh and Sentences 'Environmental Sinners' to Hell Posted by Julia A. Seymour on April 9, 2007 - 17:22.
Welcome to hell global warming skeptics.
That was the message of a two-page "Dante's Inferno: Green Edition" in the May issue of Vanity Fair. That was just part of a full-issue assault in which the magazine unleashed its vitriol against businesses, conservatives and even radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh "has blinded millions of Americans to the climate crisis," proclaimed Vanity Fair. The magazine also accused him of "the environmental destruction that he did so much to enable in his multi-decade reign of denigration."
But El Rushbo, was far from the only target in Vanity Fair's line of fire.
"It is an ongoing mystery to me why Republican administrations are such wretched protectors of our land, inasmuch as Republicans own so much of it," editor Graydon Carter said in the issue's introduction.
Vanity Fair even assigned industries and individuals to the circles of Dante's Hell.
"Then there’s the final circle – hell itself – containing “Satan, and in his three mouths: Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), former chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, tireless denouncer of global warming as ‘a hoax’ perpetrated on Americans by alarmist liberal media; President George W. Bush; Vice President Dick Cheney, former Halliburton C.E.O., convener of top-secret energy task force, which met with oil and gas executives.”
Having just shoveled 1-1/2’ of global warming out of my driveway here in suburban Ohio this weekend, I can see why Insanity Fair would be upset at Rushbo (Excuse me while I put on my midwestern-US scarf). Do they still have subscribers?
Who’s the Jesus?
Give ‘em hell, Rush!
Oh, so now the environmental fundamentalists are issuing “Scarlet Letters”. Sheesh.
This is a religion for Godless people.
Scary.
The orange juice futures market is now completely determined by Al Gore’s flight schedule. The closer Al gets to Florida, the higher the price of OJ.
We can’t let these dumbasses get away with demonizing everyone who disagrees with them. These people are tiresome petty dictators. I don’t care if it is a damn national magazine.
Plenty of Vanity, though.
That’s FUNNY. LOL
The Nazi’s did this same type of propaganda concerning the Jews during the 1930’s and soon it was okay to just load them up and cart them away to be murdered in a real life hell.
Knowing that the Nazi’s in Germany were also leftists, ie Socialists not unlike our very own leftists here in teh US makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside while I read this type of tripe.
“WOW what a stinging article...”
Did you mean “stinking”?
It’s all about the money. And there’s no money in trusting in the Creator to maintain the planet.
Seattle Mariners designated hitter Jose Vidro, front, from left, Jose Lopez, Adrian Beltre, and Richie Sexon lie in the snow at Jacobs Field, Sunday, April 8, 2007, in Cleveland. Mariners' Carlos Garcia is at upper left. For the second day in a row, snow and cold weather forced a doubleheader between the Mariners and Indians to be postponed
Vanity? Does anyone really read it? Maybe if it is the only magazine on the floor of the john.
Memo to Vanity Fair: If you talk the talk, you must walk the walk. You can’t get away with pointing a finger at those of us who don’t buy into your whole environazi scheme when you are killing millions of trees each year to publish your slick rag and/or using excessive amounts of energy (which releases CO2 into the atmosphere to poison the children, doncha know) to run the printers that print your rag. In addition, how toxic are the inks you use for you printing?
(Note to non-printer types: a full color ad or photograph requires that the galley be printed 4 separate times in order to get each of the colors on the page. That’s not too “green”, is it?)
bump
Heck. I will automatically vote for nearly anyone Vanity Fair trashes.
I figure that is a safe bet.
No..Marta TRIED to be in the publishing business...and the clothing business...with Rush’s money of course and failed at them all.
Not only a slick rag, but one that probably averages 50-60 pages worth of fashion, car, perfume, cosmetics and other advertisements in every issue. What “green,” eco-friendly, or other purpose do pages and pages and pages of glossy ads serve, other than to pay Graydon’s bills and help sell a few luxury products?
