Limbaugh made this statement that even Wing Nuts like Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough slammed. I assume Linbaugh is suggesting to his listeners not to donate to helping the Haitian people.
Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”
He added: “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”
We as a country and a people on the Right or Left always pull together and rise above politics when a disaster hits. I fail to understand where he is coming from with his comment. I find it a sad commentary if it is an official position of the Wing Nuts.

Anybody want to bet we'll have about a million of these fine, motivated, well educated, potential Democrats headed our way soon. New Orleans can handle a few hundred thousand, Houston, too. Couple of hundred thousand can disappear into ATL in a heartbeat.

Please tell me what you know about the amount of US commitment to Haiti over the last 15 or 20 years.
And why do you feel the need to resort to name calling? It prejudices your post before I ever open it.

You people make me sick. Thousands of innocent people, men women and children have died and thousands more are dying as we speak trapped under concrete and masonry. Thousands more will die in the weeks and months to come frome injury, exposure, disease and hunger. Do any one of you have a caring bone in your body? This is not or should not be a liberal/conservative issue. It is a human issue, a human suffering issue, an issue for unity not politics as usual! You people make me sick!

I think it is crass of Limbaugh to politicize the Haiti situation so soon after it has happened. He shows a lack of judgement in criticizing the President's response to what is an awful humanitarian situation. After the immediate situation has been stabilized, there will be plenty of time for Limbaugh to put whatever spin he wants to put on it.
Americans will respond and give whatever they can, because that is what Americans do, regardless of what Rush Limbaugh says.
Reasonable people will see Limbaugh for what he is ---

Rush is a humanitarian and it is unfair for some to say that he does not care for the people of Haiti. We have people injured, dyeing, and in horrible condition. The majority of the aid will come from the USA, England, and France. See what the US military is doing just to get aid on the island. The same countries, as in the past, will come to the aid of Haiti with urgency and try to minimize the pain and suffering. That is the right thing to do.
What we (and many others such as Rush) are concerned with is will the efforts to rebuild Haiti after the earthquake be similar to the success before. How many billions of dollars have been sent to Haiti? Where is the accountability. Building hospitals and sending aid will never make Haiti self sufficient. How can Haiti's neighbors be so different. They do not require these massive amounts of aid. That is not to say that their standards are equal to the US or other Central and South American countries.
Corruption is rampant in Haiti. I personally know of the battles that some of the missionaries have with the authorities. Bribery is necessary to survive. It's bad.
The island thrives on corruption.

GF, that is an incredibly silly question, the official position of the wing nuts?!?!? I don't even know what organization you are talking about. It would be like me asking if Obama's trashing of the U.S. in every foreign speech is the official position of loony leftists. There is no official position of a disparate group of people that have similar political views. They either agree with what he says or they don't but there is no official position because there is no organization to have and official position.
After reading the entire transcript of what Rush said I can tell you I agree with much of what he says. I would not have focused on the obvious political benefits that Obama will derive from this as President's usually benefit politically from these kind of events. That is unless you are Bush and the corrupt political machine in Louisiana and New Orleans in particular are looking for a way to deflect blame from their own incompetence and malfeasance (of course aided and abetted by the feckless government media).
You seem to want to create an organization or group that doesn't exist and then try to discredit everyone allegedly belonging to that imaginary group because of a single line by Rush. A stretch is too mild a term to describe it. It is just silly.

Hey Archie, your fellow traveler GF is the one who raised this issue and tried to impugn the rest of us who he regularly calls wing nuts. You make me sick for assuming that none of us care simply because we responded to GF's insult. You don't know anything about us or whether we are doing or are going to do anything to help the people of Haiti. If we make you so sick why don't you stop reading the forum and posting your pompous nonsense? You won't be missed, not to mention it would raise the collective IQ of the forum which would be nice.

By jove.......I do believe we are making some bloody progress here with the liberals, with this new found idea of common purpose. This means that the liberals will drop their ideology blinders and embrace the idea of former Pres. Bush and Clinton working together to raise money for the relief of Haitian suffering and they will state their support of this effort, along with their personal contributions to agencies like ARCross, Salvation Army etc.

No one here will miss you. If we are so insufferable why put yourself through the misery? They are always looking for leftist sycophantic posters on the Huffingpuffpost or DailyKos. Lots of fellow travelers for you to commune with there and tell how great your business is while 17% of the country is out of work.
But if you choose to stay then I will continue to respond to your ridiculous, mean spirited nonsensical rants.

I am aware of the money we have sent there over the years. I wonder what the Right would say if we did minimal assistance with funding this time and China stepped in with massive aid and Haiti became a manufacturer of goods for China to export to the US with a Communist government ala Cuba?

Please re-read my post, especially where I asked what you knew about the amount of US commitment to Haiti. I didn't say money, although that is a large part of it. You didn't answer my question.
The rest of your post is a purely hypothetical fishing expedition and doesn't bear wasting my time.

I don't know about Rush being a humanitarian; however, what you said about Haiti is correct. I would not want to see the US engage in some massive "nation building" exercise; but I do think that as humans, we should be concerned about rescue and medical care, food and temporary shelter for the human being affected by the earthquake. The US cannot "fix" Haiti.

I didn't read the responses that way but the fact is that Obama has done nothing more than Bush did with Katrina in the same timeframe. All he has done, and all he can do is talk. But of course the government media reaction is predictable in its hypocrisy and double standard.

If you think back, I don't think Bush was criticized until well after the fact about Katrina. The only thing that I remember him being criticized for initially was how long it took him to get down there to survey the damage... But, as we both know, that's just a photo op. He had no idea that Brown was about to quit when Katrina hit, and that there was a severe breakdown between DHS, and FEMA as a result of the reorganization.
I seem to recall in the early days of Katrina, there was contretemps between the city government, the state government and the federal government over who was going to administer the help.
In the case of Haiti, I'm hearing that, as usual, they are having problems getting the help out to the people who need it. Gas is in very short supply, so trucking is not viable. Apparently the arrival of helicopters is critical. No doubt there is some infighting going on with the corrupt officials too.

Hound, he does a large amount of charity work and raises millions of dollars each year for I think lymphoma or some other disease. He also raises money for some military organization that provide college funding for children of soldiers KIA. And finally, he probably participates in 10 to 15 charity golf events every year and makes speeches at charity fundraisers. While I would not necessarily call him a humanitarian (which in my view is someone that devotes most or all of their time and much of their resources to worthwhile organizations) he is very generous with both his time and money. This is in keeping with what he said about Haiti, don't donate money to the US government for relief, give it to private charity. You've already donated enough to government in the form of taxes. The nonsense in the media that he urged people to not donate to private charity was just that, nonsense.
