If any of them would like to engender some goodwill, make a peace offering so to speak, now would be a great time to do that. Come out and condemn these two here. I can't imagine anyone here would do anything other than welcome the show of unity over it. Limbaugh and Robertson have disgraced the human race here.

And, while it may not sound insanely attractive to you, you're always welcome to come down for SXSW one year and sleep on the hide-a-bed we have downstairs. I'm being assured by its current resident Georgina that it's quite comfortable. Of course, she's only been on it two nights so far and will be gone in less than two weeks if all goes to plan and she finds an apartment in this part of town quickly or her house in San Diego sells and she can get a house here lickety split. I'm not counting on the selling option.

The Haitian economy is entirely dependent on foreign aid. They produce nothing -- zilch, zero, nada*** ...and so naturally we shouldn't help them out of the rubble. *sigh* <a href="http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2010/01/13#0047" target="_blank">http://mediamatters.org/limbau.../13#0047</a>

Originally Posted By Sara Tonin Not only is it okay, it's expected! We all hate Limbaugh. I remember a thread not too long ago when Rush was hospitalized for chest pains and I wrote that I wondered if he really had a heart. All I can say now is...I AM VINCICATED!!!!!
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I can't believe he would be so uncaring! Maybe they should have taken that tone with him when he was hospitalized in Hawaii? I mean really, we should just write Haiti off because he's basically saying they are a welfare state? It's appalling. I do hope he is called out by fellow conservatives for this.
