Liberal journalists paid liars, have never gotten Rush.

They have tried to take him down for nearly 30 years. They have lied about him until it has become a literal joke, the idea we will believe them now.

Rush stated that the Left would use this hurricane to push the man caused global warming claim. They did.

He never ridiculed the storm. He only said they would play the storm up as much as they could in line with buttressing the idea this storm was "ever so much worse" due to man caused global warming. Which they have.

A number of statements have been made like, "This is the worst storm in 100 years, and this is the result of man mad global warming."

There's not a mention of the fact there were no category 4 or 5 hurricanes for ten to twelve years prior to this. Why that might contribute to the idea global warming didn't affect things like hurricanes.

So Rush was dead on target with his comments. The media liars weren't.

The idea he is a hypocrite because he evacuated like public officials requested citizens do, is simply preposterous.

There’s a reason why the Nazi liars and propagandists in the so-called media refuse to leave NYC and DC.

Rush is right.
He’s not saying the hurricanes are “fake”, but that the hyperventilating blame is. Hurricanes happen, and we haven’t had any to speak of for a decade - so a couple aren’t proof of guilt.

Remember: if a climate hysteric uses gasoline vehicles, themselves or by proxy, they’re hypocrites.

SkepticalScience financed by Michio Kaku has suggested imprisoning “climate deniers.” One post suggested the death sentence. There was a lot of agreement for imprisoning us a few agreed with our execution.

These hurricanes are clearly President Trump's fault. You didn't see anything like this when Obama was in office.

Trump causes hurricane

Rush was right only in the sense that this hurricane and all the other recent natural disasters have nothing to do with the fictional “global warming.” However, by poor-poohing its reality and then taking off himself - after many of his mostly elderly fans had decided his words meant they should stay - he’s done a real disservice to all. And I think he’s shown once again what a tin ear he has.

His stupid vote-for-Hillary campaign (”Operation Chaos”) the last time around probably got Obama elected again.

And if you were paying attention, as I was, you heard him discuss the quite obvious fact that climate change believers (or science deniers as I call them) would be using Irma - as with Hurricane Harvey and others before that - as evidence of climate change. Aka: global warming.

My uncle and his wife stopped by for a visit last night and that's exactly what he did. To bolster his point he said that the people who have money on the line, insurance companies, would be raising rates because of the "increased number and severity of storms" due to "Global Warming." The point there being that those with a financial interest wouldn't act on flakey information.

I didn't say a word but I thought to myself "Sure, insurance companies wouldn't use bogus excuses to raise rates, those paragons of virtue that they are." How did a man with a degree in chemistry get to be so dumb!?

The strongest hurricane to hit the US was the "Labor Day" hurricane of 1935. It followed a track similar to what Irma's is turning out to be.

It made a monumental mess.


The hurricane washed this eleven car special train off the track soon after reaching the strickened area. The train was trying to rescue 683 World War I veterans in a rehabilitation camp, of which around 250 died as a result of the hurricane. The veterans, a remnant of the Bonus Army that marched on Washington, were employed for highway construction in the federal work relief project.

Climate change / global warming is bunk.

According to Mark Steyn (fill-in on Friday), Rush would have been breaking the law had he broadcast from Palm Beach Friday and (again according to Steyn) if he was going to broadcast from another location, he had to set up that operation by Monday - obviously in someplace other than Florida.

And at no point was he “poor-poohing its reality” (whatever the hell that means) - his point (which anybody who listened to his show instead of his critics would know) was that the coming disaster was being exploited for political ends. Which it was.

Rush is right, consistently right, all the time. Al Roker has exceeded his expiration date, and does not hold a candle to Rush when it comes to getting predictions right.

Actually he had his Operation Chaos campaign in 2008

Rush the Vote: Operation Chaos Meeting and Exceeding Objectives

Here is another transcript by Rush from March 5, 2008

We Got What We Wanted: Chaos

Well, the hurricane wasn’t being exploited by Scott or any of the people who have actual responsibilities in this world, and unfortunately, the impression Rush gave was that he thought the whole thing was a hyped conspiracy. Rush bloviates. Sometimes that’s entertaining, and that’s all he is - an entertainer. But many people take him too seriously.

He used to be better - that is, more up on things - years ago, but he’s been coasting and just permitting himself uninformed rants on various things. Heck, anybody can do that.

He did NOT give the idea that the hurricane was a conspiracy, or that it wasn’t real. He DID say no one knew where it would hit, and that panic over bottled water was stupid.

” . . . the impression Rush gave was that he thought the whole thing was a hyped conspiracy.”

Whether that was the impression you had is not for me to say. I heard every word he said about the event, and I have a hard time seeing how anyone with an ounce of objectivity could read “hyped conspiracy” into his comments.

Rush decided to leave his house because of the hurricane, but liberals are making fun of him taking Irma seriously? Rick Scott told us to prepare for Irma, so he left...good for him...

Do you even listen to the show? It painfully obvious you do not. But please, continue to push the liberal narrative while making an ass of yourself.
