Stating obvious truth is offensive to people who live in fantasy worlds, and leftists cannot exist outside of na-na land.

Frankly the Haitian people can expect little in the way of free-will contributions from Democrats.

That's because to a Democrat Haiti is and has been a major source of new Republican voters in Florida.

Soros’ Media Matters deliberately smears talk radio hosts.

The media seldom reports WHERE they got the redacted (or made up) quotes from. Remember the wikiquotes that were used to deny Mr. Limbaugh a seat at the table in buying an NFL franchise?

What gets me irate is that if these libs really are concerned about helping Haitians they can, without wasting the time and energy and $$ attacking Rush!!

This is definitely a few steps above how many others do things, but:
1. I wouldn’t link to those sources, except with a nofollow tag. Those sites are helped by those links.
2. I would look up the names of the reporters, and call them out by name. There’s a very good reason for that.

Like I said, mediasmatters.

I hadn’t heard that. I understand why Cubans have tended to vote GOP, but why would Haitians?

The problem with Rush’s comment is not that he was somehow discouraging people from donating (that’s absurd, of course he wasn’t), but rather that it demonstrates a lack of research. If you actually go to whitehouse.gov (at least as of last night), you’ll see that the site doesn’t take donations for Haiti, but rather directs interested donors to the Red Cross website.

To be honest, there is nothing in the Constitution that makes it possible for the Feds to take tax money and give it away, even in the event of a disaster. The early Americans struggled with this as well. I’m all for private donations- but govt. money? No way.

Biggest give away was Bush's billions to Africa for AIDS

Is this really news to anyone? Three hours a day gives people lots of opportunity to pull a sentence out of context and redefine the meaning behind it.

What they do is so transparent it is hardly worth posting here on FR. They are a small child screaming in the grocery store line for a candy bar. They cry and throw fits because like the child, they are tiny, powerless and dependant on the very person who is not giving them what they want.

We can all wish that the childish behavior would stop and we can all be thankful that it is not OUR kid throwing the fit. Perhaps life will come along and provide a sobering swat on the backside to quiet them down.

Twenty million people tuning in every day are not listening to the person the left tries to define him as. We believe our ears and not their lies.

Earthquake victims will have a better life after the quake than they had prior to it and it will be because of conservatives who have money and a generous heart as opposed to the libs who have neither.

Any money coming from the US government is from the taxpayers, the very same conservatives who are going to give out of their own pockets.

The liberal welfare cases will continue living life with a hand out and a general attitude of entitlement.

The Cubans have a shared hatred of Castro & the Communists - Haitians seem like a natural constituency for the Democrat party for a dozen reasons. Why would they vote GOP?
