“I'm just gonna tell you, if I was named envoy to Haiti, ...
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 01:28 PM by Peacetrain
I'd quit government. Envoy to Haiti? You can't even pick up a prostitute down there without genuine fear of AIDS."

Rush Limbaugh May 20,2009 commenting on Bill Clinton being named special ambassador to Haiti by the UN

This racist crap we are hearing from Limbaugh now about Haiti is nothing new.. He has been a racist and elitist towards Haiti from the get go

5. The racist and sexist crap Limbaugh has spewed for years is beyond belief
and that he can get away with it with little or no consequence astounds me. What even astounds me more, is when people as in Morning Joe today, try and do any type of criticism of this bozo, and the first thing that comes out of one of their mouths is that people are doing it on both sides. Someone please, show me one liberal commentator with such an audience making those types of sexist and racist statements.

10. That's just one of their lying knee jerk defense
mechanisms and disinformation tactics..like "the liberal media" when they know damn well the "media" is their base and would sell their country down the drain for a tax cut.

11. His racism and hatred is a sign of psychosis
I hope influential people start referring to his obvious mental aberrations for what they are. The dead giveaway of Sociopathic mental illness.

He is literally crazy.

16. Does he realize that Haiti and the Dominican Republic share a rather small island?
Or maybe that is why he thinks this?

Not to mention his comment does not make sense - he can't quit the government as he is not and never was in it.
