In a classic example of "why-did-they-do-that?" Kristinn at Free Republic tries to play Matrix with Conservative Radio Host Rush Limbaugh's terrible and insensitive Haiti comments.

Kristinn claims this:

Kristinn didn't listen to what Rush Limbaugh said, or did hear it but only picked out what she wanted to hear and not what Ruch Limbaugh said. Here's what Rush Limbaugh said:

Someone at SF Gate didn't do his/her homework.

“The fact that hundreds of thousands of people may have died is apparently...”
My goodness, I didn’t realize that Haiti was so over populated. No wonder they are the poorest nation in this hemisphere. s/

Gee whiz, I listened to the tape and read the transcript(s), and that's not what Rush said.

Leftwingtards are truly evil people.

Rush is 100% right on this. The Morning Joe libs are in a deep funk because Brown is winning. The Obamunists are clearly pathetic and desperate. The LIES are amazing to see. I am thinking these fanatics do not even realize they are lying. They are crazed progressives and clearly out of touch with reality.

Rush beats down a frothing moonbat reader of the Huffington-Puffington post:

Media Matters . . . issued a posting . . . .

Media Smatters?

smatter:
v. tr. 1. To speak (a language) without fluency: smatters Russian. 2. To study or approach superficially; dabble in. v. intr. To prattle: smattered on about her vacation.
(American Heritage)

Like I said, Media Smatters.

I liked it better when the news media was talking about Obama going down in the polls. Doesn’t Rush know that the media is going to distort what he says about something this incendiary? Now they’re making him out to be evil. It could be a win for the democrats & they’ll go on & on about Rush.

It's an example of media smattering.

I heard what Rush said. It was unremarkable because it was a description of Democrat business as usual. Remember the words of one of Obama’s folks about not letting a crisis go to waste? You think that the Marxist Obama is not, insofar as a Marxist can pray, down on his knees thanking the gods of the fault zones for giving him a tragedy on our doorstep that can so thoroughly deflect attention from his and his cabal’s attempt to screw over the U.S. on behalf of special interests?

Right. Rush often hands them a bone with his gratuitous comments. Haiti is also code for Black, and we all know how much the DBM likes to pound on Rush the racist

Liberals think realists are without compassion. I wish I could snap my fingers and make Haiti a utopia but the fact is that it won’t be. There is only so much we can do.

Now the news reports this morning are saying that gang fighting has started breaking out around the city.

Yes, so much better on anything that could be "incendiary" to just sit back and make no comment at all so the scurrilous won't have anything to distort.

Good morning! Thanks for finding and posting this. Zennie's from Chicago--Hyde Park, I think.

Here's the piece he's complaining about:

While President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were enjoying their “vacation” house in Hawaii over the holidays, I was in Chicago with my Mom and her friend, who’s daughter and husband are friends of the First Couple and live not far from the Obama’s other home in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Chicago is my hometown, so the area around Greenwood and Hyde Park, where the Obama’s home is located is familiar territory for me. Because of that, it was heart-warming for me to walk the grounds near their home because there’s is such the American success story.

Ah, someone else who didn't actually hear what he said. The truly gratuitous comments came out of the pie hole of that perennial gaffemeister Pat Robertson who talked about Haiti. Rush was talking about Obama's use of Haiti.
