Gibbs Calls Robertson, Limbaugh Remarks 'Stupid'
"Would you trust that the money is going to go to Haiti?" Limbaugh said. "Would you trust that your name is going to end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?"

....

He also said Obama was so quick to begin assistance to Haiti in order to boost his "credibility with the black community, in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country."

In response, Gibbs said, "In times of great crisis, there are always people that say really stupid things. I don't know how anybody could sit where he does, having enjoyed the success that he has, and not feel some measure of sorrow for what has happened in Haiti. I think to use the power of your pulpit to try to convince those not to help their brothers and sisters is sad."

1. He'll start shifting into "down the memory hole" mode pretty soon (Limbaugh)
He'll come out with some sorry excuse (he's already tried) and then try to make a big spectacle about how much he's doing to help. Then it will never be spoken of again, but the message will have been signed, sealed, and delivered to masses of ignorant morons that believe his bullshit.

4. Americans help out a neighbour..and maybe liking that feeling of compassion goes
against everything Limpballs tries to teach. I'm not surprised he sees it as a threat.
