If I recall the money that went to Red Cross for the WTC didn’t go to the people devastated there until a big fuss was made.

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Zennie 62 is a stupid dumbass as are an awful lot of the mainstream media.

It's quite obvious that there are those who have derangement issues with not just with Rush but with all conservatives.

Yes I did read the transcript, It's obvious beyond reasonable doubt that Rush was taken out of context. He never said anything about not contributing to the Haiti relief effort.

Folks, read this clown's (Zennie62) stupid blog. This is your brain on drugs.

Regards..........

Thank you for the link to Rush's transcript.

I noticed that he actually *did* say this:

"We are the most charitable and the most generous people on the face of the earth. Each and every time a natural disaster like this happens, we step up. We are there." - Rush Limbaugh

I saw *nothing* that said "don't" donate.

Red Cross defends handling of Sept. 11 donations

November 6, 2001

EXCERPT

The Red Cross has raised more than $564 million for the Liberty Fund, which was set up in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

While the agency states on its Web site that it is spending more than any other relief agency responding to the terrorist attacks, it has distributed only $154 million.

Healy was hammered by one New York official for the Red Cross’ decision to put aside nearly half of the money raised for future needs that may include terrorist attacks.

Hey Barack, we have ‘57’ states here in America that need the money more than Haiti!

Based on the track record, sending money to Red Cross does nothing to help the current crisis. Then Rush’s caller was correct and Rush was correct to agree. Red Cross donations do not make it to the current tragedy.

I wonder what kind of power and influence one can have by investing 1/2 billion dollars for some future event? Control companies? Control banks? Who gets the power? What do they do with it?

The Salvation Army is the way to go.

I am also giving to my local Church, Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown, NJ. They were there when the quake hit and just arrived back here in NJ, last night. Dr. Fowler and his volunteers have been helping the Haitians for many years.

Your heart’s in the right place and all, but do you really think it’s appropriate for a lady to wear a beard?

“...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...”

The so called news on the Weather Channel already distorted Rush’s comments. Now it is official, not only does the Weather Channel lie about “global warming” it distorts the news.
