Rush Limbaugh Mocks Japan Quake Refugees

[TomCADem]

Source: Huffington Post

A caller asked Limbaugh, "If these are the people that invented the Prius, have mastered public transportation, recycling, why did Mother Earth, Gaia if you will, hit them with this disaster?"

Limbaugh called this an "interesting question," and played a clip of ABC's Diane Sawyer reporting from a shelter in Japan. In the clip, Sawyer is surprised that the refugees in the shelter have maintained a recycling program. Limbaugh first mocked Sawyer, doing an impression of her and saying that "she sounds like she saw her husband for the first time in six months." He then turned to his caller's question.

"He's right," Limbaugh said. "They've given us the Prius. Even now, refugees are recycling their garbage." Here, he began to laugh, continuing, "and yet, Gaia levels them! Just wipes them out!"

This angle has been something of a theme for Limbaugh; last week, he wondered if environmentalists would "cheer" the quake.

There you have it. The heart and soul of the right wing joking that god is punishing Japan because they recycle, and saying that environmentalists are cheering on the quake.

1. Yeah, because Gaia is a vindictive spoiled brat.

Or a Republican.



But I repeat myself.

[wordpix]

14. funny!

[rpannier]

28. Wow! I thought Harry S Truman was dead

Harry Truman, "Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a Republican. Ahh, but I repeat myself."

Welcome Back from the Grave.

[madmax]

2. Cenk was all over this today.

Anyone not familar with Rush, hearing and seeing him laugh about the tragedy in Japan would now know without a doubt he's bottom feeder. Keep talking, Rush.

[somone]

3. Piece of garbage might have some redeemable value as neutron absorber

[katusha]

4. apparently he never had treatment

for that anal cyst he had in the 60's. it has now consumed his entire body and mind!

[6000eliot]

11. The anal cyst wanted HIM cut off!

[47of74]

20. Probably

[wordpix]

15. or treatment for his drug addiction

[KT2000]

5. He should fly the helicopters

over the reactors, except the copter probably could not lift with his fat ass in it.

[kentauros]

8. The helicopter could lift him,

but the main problem is that his added weight would equal that much less water that could not be carried in. However, the 'heat' from the reactor might 'cook' that fat off of him in nothing flat, too }(

[KT2000]

10. Yes! Lipo him out

of existence - great idea!

[wordpix]

16. I say, send Psychotalker into the plant to fill up the spent fuel pools

with his vile spew.

[Initech]

6. What a piece of shit.

[Newest Reality]

7. We can utilize Rush as a true

gauge for what the opposite of truth, compassion, greater good, altruism, decency, and a whole bunch of other important and honorable, easily recognized societal concepts.

He is truly a worthy marker and the only real problem we face are the actions and reactions of people who believe his fabrications and well-compensated, scripted propaganda.

Those who are onto this can utilize it. Those who take the deceptive, manipulative agitprop from a showman acting out his part, are being taken for a very sad ride to nowhere, fast.

[VPStoltz]

9. And half the refugees could survive on just the fat between his ears.

[fantomas]

12. What country invented Viagra and child prostitutes?

I think Rush needs another bender!

[4saken]

13. Rush with a brain of mush...

First the question, who is stupid enough to anthropomorphize "Mother Earth" to the point where "she" has intention. Probably one of these idiots who thinks there is intention behind every event, because they can't get their mind around the fact that humans, and our ability for intention, aren't the center of anything but our own egos.

And the reaction from Rush is just expectantly brainless in so many ways.

[GReedDiamond]

17. Limbaugh is a degenerate fascist shitbag with no...

...redeeming qualities and a subzero level of humanity.

I can't wait until the day comes when he overdoses on hillbilly heroin, or something else happens which is equally as terminal, such as massive heart attack or stroke.

Yeah, that's right, I wish ill upon him, asap. If his heart exploded while he was on the air, and he shit his britches as he drooled all over his "golden microphone," I'd listen to the playback of that with glee.

Harsh? Mean spirited, you say? I suppose so, but I detest this creature and the damage his propagandizing, race-baiting, and constant serial-lying has done, and continues to do, to this Country, and to the World, for over two decades now.

Sorry if anybody is offended by that, but, although I believe in "live and let live," I'm not a "pacifist," and I'm in no way Gandhi-esque when it comes to fascist fuckwits like Limbaugh.

I'm also a little edgy and upset that my girlfriend is currently stuck in Tokyo (where she has been for almost six months, taking care of her elderly parents), so the trashing of the Japanese People as they endure this catastrophic human tragedy REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

Fuck you, Limbaugh, you human garbage dump.

18. The Turd Who Walks Like A Man.

That is all.

[Astraea]

19. I can't believe that major media outlets tolerate this kind of crap

I was listening to our local progressive radio station (thank zeus we finally got one!), and what I heard was mostly intelligent discussions, the news, relevant factual information and the like. Yet when you turn the dial to the right you hear ignorant, revolting shit like this. It makes me wonder about the survival of the species, when people like this are put on a pedestal while others, individuals with at least a shred of human decency, are mocked and marginalized.

[octothorpe]

31. I was forced to listen to some angry moron on the radio a ways back..

I don't recall his name, but I'm pretty sure he's national guy. Anyway, I was annoyed at how he would ask a question, and then when someone called in he wouldn't actually debate them in a civilized manner. It was mostly him just trying pin people into a corner with ridiculous "perfectly" setup situations to make his point. If the callers pointed out flaws in the framing, he would just yell, call them dummies (or something similar) and then hang up on them. On the flip-side though, there is at least one liberal guy with a show on one of the XM stations who had similar thing going on with the angry tone and actions. I didn't want to listen to that either, I hate that stuff. I don't get why people would just want to listen to some echo chamber. Anyway, I agree that the progressive typically tend to be more civilized and based on actual discussions.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. He's a hypocritical drug user.

Quell surprise he's full of shit.

[truth2power]

22. What the hell is he talking about? Maybe I'm just tired (it's late)..

but it doesn't even make sense. Just spewing hatred, I guess. It doesn't have to be coherent.

[Corruption Winz]

23. Rush and people like him...

Love to think that God is on their side. So, he punishes the other side for doing "faggy" things like throwing away garbage into special bins and making cars that are simply run and used in a different way.

I don't even believe in God. I'd still assume that if God existed, he wouldn't be getting rid of Prius owners and the country that gave us that car. I'd have to assume he'd have bigger issues.

If God existed and was good, he'd get rid of opium plants. This way, Rush would lose his "skittles."

[freshwest]

24. SCUMBAG!

:argh:

[area51]

25. Typical Rusty Limpdick

Why do people listen to this drug-abusing bully? Too bad he won't be fired like Gilbert Gottfreid.

[bluesmail]

26. I would say that's so shocking, but it is the windbag Rush. eom

[Blacksheep214]

27. Recycling?

It wouldn't occur to this pampered fuck that by separating trash in an emergency it allows an easily accessible source of materials. They may not need it but it shows forward thinking in hard times.

There a few different meanings for recycling and this one isn't taking the cans in for a hundred Yen!

What an ass!

[octothorpe]

29. I truly hate some of these people...

I don't hate people just 'cause they have different viewpoints than me, but I really hate these moronic shit heads like Rush and his callers.

[LeftinOH]

30. He is the very definition of "The Ugly American". n/t

[Ilsa]

32. I guess the fourth Mrs. Rush Limbough has already kicked him out

Of the master bedroom. He's behaving like an unloved person: hateful.

[The Wizard]

33. Rash should be the subject of

a human sacrifice. Some say Rash is a witch. Burn him at the stake.

[Kingofalldems]

34. Special Prosecutor needed for allegedly using paid callers

on RW radio, airwaves belong to the people.

[blueamy66]

35. he's a piece of shit

and that is putting it nicely

[Skidmore]

36. Right, you pompous gasbag.

Did it ever occur to you that the ever great old US of A harnessed the atom and used it to visit conflagration on the Japanese once and then turned around and sold it as a source of cheap energy throughout the world under the guise of progress? Gaia may very well level us too, hopefully dumping your fat ass and Disneyland mansion into the ocean.

[DainBramaged]

37. No matter what this piece of shit says, it will be brushed off by his syndicators

And until his audience shuns him, it will continue. He revels in this attention, because he is simply a sick fuck and a blight on the airwaves.


Gaea cannot return him to dust fast enough....

[Urban Prairie]

38. Install electrical outlets into Flush's jabbering piehole and rectum, then fly him to Japan

Surely there is enough latent and wasted energy in this gigantic drug-addled gasbag that several power lines could be plugged into the outlets and re-energize the damaged reactors' electrical-powered cooling systems.

[hatrack]

39. Maybe Pigboy can generate some chuckles from this photograph:

Terrible sorrow: Yoshie Murakami holds the hand of her dead mother in the rubble of her home in Rikuzentakata. Her daughter is still missing

There's some HI-FUCKING-LARIOUS headlines he can use on today's show:

# Hungry people forage in the snow for scraps of food and firewood
# 450,000 desperate people squat in makeshift refugee shelters
# 850,000 people struggling to survive without food and water
# 20,000 missing in two towns with another 5,000 confirmed dead

Homeless, desperate people clambered over snow-covered debris where their villages had once stood, gathering armloads of firewood as Japan's humanitarian crisis escalated yesterday.

In scenes more befitting a poverty-stricken Third World country than the world's third-richest nation, hungry people wrapped themselves in odd scraps of clothing in a futile attempt to keep out the cold in temperatures only just above freezing.

One of the most heartbreaking images to emerge was of a woman breaking down as found her dead mother's hand among the rubble of her destroyed home.

Yoshie Murakami cried in anguish as she said her final goodbyes and held her mother's hand. The body was discovered after five days of agonising searching in in the tsunami-hit city of Rikuzentakata.

40. I'll cry all day from seeing and thinking about her, my heart is breaking.

OMG, I wish I could be there to help.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

But as far as the damned dittoheads...


:mad: :puke: :thumbsdown:

41. Rush needs to be flushed

Keep it up Fat Man, one day Karma's going to pay you and the rest of the Tea Party Nazis back in a big, big way...
