Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and televangelist Pat Robertson are being scolded for their comments in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake in Haiti that has killed tens of thousands, according to early estimates.
Critics from both the left and right are denouncing their remarks as insensitive to the disaster and attempts to score political points off human tragedy....
Limbaugh’s comments have been widely panned.
"They are deeply insensitive," said conservative commentator Pat Buchanan on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"The president speaks for the country when he says we're going to go in there,” he said. “You want your whole nation, and it's very positive. And I think Rush's comments were cynical."

LOL!

Democrats are truly despicable.
Reid and Clinton skate.

Too true => Buchanan is an ass-clown. He should compare his personal “contributions” to Rush’s.
In under three day’s time, we will all see complete anarchy in Haiti, where the strong will feed on the weak. May the good and decent there be given the strength and endurance to survive the massing “zombies,” as it will take years to bring them back to where the were just BEFORE the quake.
Socialism => death of society.
I take comfort in the fact that the left has their own Robertson-like personality in Danny Glover.
They take Rush out of context on a daily basis. He won’t lose a single listener because even the libtards that monitor his show know he is mis-quoted.
