Limbaugh, Not To Be Outdone By Robertson,

had this to say about Haiti:

I just keep wondering where the bottom is with these guys.

Once a sicko always a sicko, you were expecting maybe some sign of intelligence?

Lemme see. The shoe bomber was Nigerian, so he had dark skin. Obama was in no hurry to do anything about him. Hatians have a crisis and they're dark-skinned. Obama's going to drop everything and help them. Therefore, he's just racially motivated. It makes no difference that hundred of thousands of human beings are dying. It's only "them." The bomber might have taken some of "us" out. No doubt about it. Obama's pandering.

Regards,

D-Ray

I guess I should have finished the paraphrase with "pandering to his folks."

I love how MSNBC does the cut and paste style of ignoring context but FOX is just as guilty so before you once again boil with rage over what MSNBC has shown you just be smart enough to understand they pasted together portions while potentially and likely deleting huge portions of comment that may put it in proper context. Wise up, its all a game of incomplete propaganda.

You're right. MSNBC should run Limbaugh and Beck unedited.... wait a minute, then they would be FOX.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but seriously, are you suggesting that Limbaugh meant something other than what is implied?

Okay, what is it that Obama should have done? Should have moved more slowly to help people in Haiti? Is that why Bush waited so long to help people in New Orleans? He didn't want anyone to think he was pandering to the "black community"?

Yeah, I'm sure more context from Rush would have made it all okay.

The whole point is you say "Implied" is good enough for you based on how MSNBC framed it and context means everything. I am not defending Rush I am being critical of the news. Anyone who cant see these tactics MSNBC has used here, has before and will continue to do aswell as FOX, CNN and others then your not going to be taken seriously by me ever again. If anyone accepts this type of "news" and rants about it then you are nothing more than a empty can making alot of noise.
