Rush Limbaugh - The Embodiment of Bigotry

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/04/17/limbaugh-volcano/

A man with 15 million daily listeners suggests that the volcanic eruptions in Iceland are a sign from God that he is displeased with American health care reform... Let that sink in. http://i.imgur.com/U7UY1.jpg

In geological times, volcanic eruptions on Iceland are frequent and expected. I would think that the beginning of the apocalypse or a direct sign of anger from God would be more, erm, direct and dramatic? Hell, He might have even caused a natural disaster in the offending country, not a peaceful nation several thousand kilometers away, with a fallout that is effecting Europe not America. How obscenely vain is it to believe that a natural disaster on the other side of the globe is God caring about your political climate. If he truly sent signs in that manner, I would expect them to be reserved for truly special occasions; like acts of slavery and genocide.

Despite the logical in fallacies, the most amazing aspect of this is that he actually thinks health care reform is a bad thing. That God would be AGAINST providing basic care and services to the poor and needy. After all, his only son only hang out with the rich cool dudes and stepped on the fingers of the poor any chance he got; Charity was not his way.

My rational mind cannot comprehend thinking of Mr. Limbaugh as a source of authority or guidance on anything. It is my sincere hope that his viewers tune in as if his is a comedy or freak show, for that is the only merit I believe it has.

  1. Limbaugh is just a bombastic gas bag. A lying scumbag of the highest order who has weaseled his way to the top of the conservative influences by lying and fear mongering. Anyone who listens to him, sarah palin, glen beck, bill o'reilly or any other fearing mongering peice of shit is a complete idiot.

  2. I could not agree more. Add characters like Hannity to that mix and its a miracle that America retains its identity as an enlightened nation...
