I actually listen to Rush, and he did not say to donate. He said not to use the White House site.

If this is all he said (I do not listen to RL so would not know), then why say anything at all? I mean seriously, is anyone here going to donate through whitehouse.gov anyway? I would never dontae through that site, nor would anyone I know. Stupid thing to say either way IMO. Only gives the left ammo to use, and unnecessarily so.

Because that’s what the caller was talking about.

Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: “Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?”

Limbaugh: “Exactly. Would you trust the money’s gonna go to Haiti?”

Justin: “No.”

Rush: “But would you trust that your name’s gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?”

Justin: “Absolutely!”

Limbaugh: “Absolutely!”

Because a caller asked. He does have a show to do.

lol. It is his show, a political talk show, and he talks about current events.

I think the better question is 'Why aren't you wondering why the leftist rag lies? Why am I getting my 'news' from a lying leftist rag?'

His reasoning (as I recall) was that if you put any personal information into that site, it is going to be mined for political purposes, email addresses and so on.

With the history of this White House doing just that, I do not think that is an unreasonable assumption.

Keep in mind that rules and regulations mean nothing to those people. They have seen there are no political repercussions for breaking the rules (as evidenced by the way they had their websites set up for donations during the campaign, and how they used information in the past) so they are going to do what they think is best for them.

Remember, they are from the only political machine more corrupt than Massachusetts, and that is Chicago. Headed by Rahm Emmanuel.

Sure there would be people dumb enough to donate through the White House and the White House has suggested it.

And you may well be one of them from the clueless posts you’ve made here today.

Well, Rush understands no matter what he says, they are going to twist it and use it out of context anyway.

He said that the media would twist it around to say that HE (Rush) made the "light skinned negro" comment instead of Harry Reid, the same way they did when he commented on Obama The Magic Negro which was written about originally by a homosexual black man David Ehrenstein who writes for the LA Times.

Rush recognizes (and correctly in my opinion) that if he stops telling it as he sees it and tailors his commentary so that he doesn't say anything that can be misconstrued or taken out of context, he is finished.

I respect him for that. So he just says what he thinks and lets the chips fall where they may.
