I told him he should grow his beard back!

Let us HOPE that the MSM never figures out that every time they attack Rush Limbaugh it's free publicity and his ratings go up. Hopefully FR's will follow that trend.

And why isn't Whorealdo and Shep Smith down there like they were at Katrina? Oh the humanity!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

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.

I hear you.

“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.”

According to the Weather Channel Rush said don’t donate to Haiti. It came out of the mouth of Monica Novotny of NBC News. What a freaking lying *****!

The Left must have its devils. This time they go to one of their favorites, Rush Limbaugh. See, the problem isn’t that there was a terrible earthquake and people are dying, the problem is Rush Limbaugh.

[popdonnelly]

“Now they’re making him out to be evil.”

Nothing new there. They’ve been making every conservative out to be evil for the last 40+ years. You expect them to stop now?

Weather Channel, being now totally owned by NBC, cannot be trusted.

And Weather Underground has a superior website, too, which is more accurate for us in central va at least.

[popdonnelly]

I don’t know who works for Media Matters, or what their agenda is, but their beatdown of Limbaugh is based on falsehoods.

Translation? None needed. Rush Limbaugh is openly discouraging donations and expenditures to help Haiti after the horrifying Earthquake.

Translation? He says, "None needed." Then he immediately goes on to provide his "translation" that he just declared unnecessary, because it is necessary to transform Limbaugh's words into something completely different from what he said.

What a pantload. I didn't need a translation but some liberal nitwit. I used my eyes and brains to interpret what Limbaugh said in his own words. I speaka the English.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I liked the beard!

[WOBBLY BOB]

maybe carter can go broker the peace...

[Graybeard58]

The very last sentence:

But Clear Channel's going to have to atone for Rush Limbaugh's antics.

Why? Because the S.F. Gate says so? Clear Channel is doing just fine and every time Rush is attacked by the liberal media, his audience grows even more.

"Atone"? I don't think so. Why lose audience?

Rush's charitable giving is well know, it pisses the liberals off because he gives to the "wrong" causes and they would rather see government controlling all charitable giving through taxation.

[tobyhill]

I will openly discourage any donations to Haiti unless Obama guarantees that 100% of all donations go to 100% of the people of Haiti and not the corrupt Haiti Government or UN.

[KarinG1]

Jim Thompson will be shocked!

When he sees it blogged about in the chat room. I can't wait to see what today's talking points say about this.

[ExTxMarine]

[just sit back and make no comment at all]

Come on, is this really what you two think would be the best solution? You two seem to understand that Rush was going to be taken out of context - right?

Then you both know that if Rush didn’t say anything, the state-controlled-media would lambaste him for ignoring the devastation in Haiti. No matter WHAT Rush says, they are going to excoriate him on it, so why not tell the truth - which Rush did!

[BlueMondaySkipper]

I was unaware that Free Republic had an official "spokesman". Did I miss something?

[hope]

hehe...The libs never check their stuff before spouting, do they?

[hope]

Don’t forget Samaritan’s Purse. They hit the ground right away as usual. Awesome ministry with Franklin Graham.

[mad_as_he$$]

K when did the operation happen? Is that why your hair was getting so long?

Man these guys a whacked.

[TornadoAlley3]

Brown winning in the Bay State is our Number 1 priority. No distractions! NONE! Media is trying to get focus on Rush as a diversion.
