"Rush Limbaugh 'meant' what he said about Haiti"

[TomCADem]

Rush Limbaugh is out attacking President Obama for committing the U.S. to assist in Haiti.

Rush Limbaugh is not backing down from his claim that President Barack Obama is trying to score political points off the earthquake in Haiti.

Challenged by a caller during his show Thursday, Limbaugh said: “If I said it, I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president.”

“Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion,” Limbaugh said in comments flagged by the liberal blog Think Progress.

Limbaugh has come under fire from both the right and the left for saying that the earthquake played directly into Obama’s hands, allowing him to look “compassionate.” The host claimed the White House’s response would bolster Obama’s standing in the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

He also appeared to discourage help for the island nation, saying, “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”

3. Time to just ignore that idiot. He's a grumpy old man sitting on a box spouting shit he doesn't

understand. This is so much bigger than party or taxes or that dumbass clown. Maybe not bigger than his ego if he really thinks he matters in all of this. Let him say what the hell he wants. Ignore him. He's Mr. Irrelevant, he's done. Let him scream the way we let the sidewalk preachers scream--avert our eyes and walk on by.

Over 100K dead, thousands dying every day. Lawlessness. 9 million people to feed. Government, hospitals, all resources destroyed. ANYONE whining about anything political about Haiti at this point is as much an ass as him.

5. And if Obama did nothing, rush would criticize that.

He gets paid a lot to do that.
