Science denialist, college dropout, drug-addled gasbag Rush Limbaugh confuses weather with climate
...again...

I was driving around and decided to turn on Rush for some goddamn reason and there he was. Calling the weather today and the last couple days the absolute reason why climate change and global warming are not really there.

Yes, millions of people were soaking in the spewings of a draft-dodging college dropout who couldn't do a scientific experiment unless it involved chemical reactions to his brain from throwing handfuls of Hillbilly Heroin down his cakehole.

He went on about how it was a shame that all this money goes into the global warming science efforts. After all, the local weather proves it's not true, even though weather and climate are two different things. Mixing up weather with climate is like thinking what your Aunt Ethel makes for Thanksgiving dessert is what everyone else in the World is eating.

You have to congratulate him though.

With half his brain turned to mush from chomping on Hillbilly Heroin, Rush has somehow more knowledge about global warming than thousands of scientists and climatologists from dozens of scientific institutions, NASA and thousands more who study and understand scientific data proving the existence from all over the World.

What do these thousands of experts in climate science know more than a three-time loser in marriage who is for the sanctity of marriage. What do they know more of than a guy who couldn't finish college even though his parents were well off enough to get him Gentleman C's to get a sheepskin on his wall.

Knowledge is a trap, Rush. It's a trap! Stupidity is power!

:crazy:

1. It's not Rush per se I'm worried about.
It's hatetalk media as a whole and the people who
actually listen to it and believe the garbage
spewed out.

2. I believe that Rush understands that weather is not climate and that global warming is real and that
man's activities are the cause. The fact that recognition of all this would be in conflict with his political positions as well as his constituency's beliefs is the sole reason for his public stand.

He is evil, but he's not stupid.

3. And Now You Know The Real Reason Why He Gets Paid The Money That He Does

To propagandize the public into swallowing corporate dogma. It has nothing whatsoever to do with ratings.

5. The horror is that people believe what he says like he is an "expert"
It's madness.

6. If ignorance is universal, his listeners don't have to question themselves.
By making everybody a self appointed "expert", he feeds the myth that there is no value in knowledge.

7. In the Chicago area, WBBM
(which I believe stands for World's Biggest Bowel Movement)has Limba's show on during the day. Finishing up a recent road trip, I needed traffic information for the tollway, but instead I got Limba. After about thirty seconds of his crap I had to turn it off or risk a serious allergic reaction to bullshit.
I have seen photos of people with the slogan, "Rush is God" either painted on their chests or on shirts - to which I say, "The closest Rush Limba is EVER going to be to God is as a brown stain on His underwear."
