However, he never said that.
He said not to send it to the .gov website. Rather send it to private organizations helping Haiti.
Did you even bother to listen to what Rush said?
This is a lie. Rush said to donate directly to the Red Cross and others, just not to send the money through whitehouse.gov cause he didn’t trust them.
Didn’t Rush himself already clarify this? He wasn’t telling people not to contribute to a charity for Haiti, but to be selective and choose the charity carefully ...
Rush is (of course) right. Trusting the White House (website or anything else associated with it) to do anything is foolish.
The title of the article shows the Blatant Liberal Bias. Rush didn’t say NOT to donate to help the people of Haiti. He said not to do so via the White House website.
Conservatives don’t look bad....since REAL conservatives actually listen to Rush’s show, and don’t fall for leftwing propaganda.
Who care what communists in England think?
SURE it looks bad ... when you have HALF the STORY.... I was listening to the show.. and the slam was NOBAMA not Haiti..
WHAT IS IT WITH FREEPERS this last Month or so... everyone going off Half Cocked ... sounding more like the Scum from DAILY KOOKS or the DUMMIES Underbrained.
Well if Rush had advocated Not giving they might have a point.
but he is talking about the GOV stealing peoples donations.
If he didn’t have a point WHY is the White House bunch making it clear that the donations are going to the Red Cross.
As the second poster said,Rush didn’t say this. Why in the world would you post something from the far left Guardian as truth without checking it out.
If you listened to what Rush said, he said not to donate through the White House website and to instead donate via your church or other legitimate charitable organization. Get your facts straight before you repost leftist propaganda.
He simply said don’t give through the White House. He believes the private charities are better. He did not say don’t donate. Geez.
I actually listen to Rush, and he did not say to donate. He said not to use the White House site.
It is likely that Rush Limbaugh will donate more to Haiti than all his detractors combined, and will do so without a press release.
You are a clueless dolt.
And what "this" is, is the liberal news media not telling the whole story in order to make political plays from people's deaths. This is not the full story as Limbaugh encouraged people to give to private charities because they are better run and there's more of a chance to get more of the money to the people who need it.
Its a blatant lie.
I guess we should just shut up and do whatever the leftist says or they’ll lie about us?

RUSH: I’m gonna respond to this absolute BS that I said don’t donate. But, you know, I do not make this program about me. I try very hard not to make this program about me. So if I have time to deal with that, I will. I’m confident everybody in this audience knows what I said and what I didn’t say. Even the Washington Post says without the context, “What Limbaugh said is horrible.” All I said was, if you paid your income taxes, that’s how you donate to government for aid, and sure enough, here comes Obama announcing $100 million from the government for aid to Haiti, fine and dandy. But, you paid for it, it’s your taxes.
All I said was if you’re going to donate do it outside the government, pure and simple. I was attacked, folks, because I am the leading voice of mainstream conservative views, not for any other reason. And this outrage is totally feigned, just as Tony Blankley said, all this outrage at me is totally faked up. They know exactly what I said, and they know for a fact that I would never tell people not to donate to any charitable cause like this, so it is what it is.

This is the exact exchange
Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: “Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?”
Limbaugh: “Exactly. Would you trust the money’s gonna go to Haiti?”
Justin: “No.”
Rush: “But would you trust that your name’s gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?”
Justin: “Absolutely!”
Limbaugh: “Absolutely!”
Rush NEVER said what he is being accused of.
He NEVER said do not donate.
