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.
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 the Vote: Operation Chaos Meeting and Exceeding Objectives
Here is another transcript by Rush from March 5, 2008
You did not hear what he said either.
Actually that was in 2008 when he used that, not in 2012. The reason why that arrogant pos was reelected was because so many on our site sat the election out because the did not like the Republican nominee. You might have been one of those who sat the election out.
You sound like the liberal media. Just make stuff up. Facts don’t matter.
Rush pretending to support Hillary got Obama elected? Get real. Operation chaos was about getting the Dems to bludgeon each other in the primaries. It didn’t hurt anything on the conservative or Republican side, though it did not help enough to drag the Republican Rhinos’ milquetoast nominee over the finish line.
No one listening to Rush with any sense should have interpreted his comments as advice not to evacuate. I’ve read the transcripts. Did you? Or do you just put your faith in the liberal media?
