Limbaugh needs ratings.

Even though he's #1 on the radio, he needs ratings.

He calculates this kind of stuff, IMO. He is good at what he is:

a radio showman.

It sure does get hold. I cannot listen to 10 seconds of him.

I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore
BY RUSH LIMBAUGH

I know there are a lot of people out there who are upset about some of the things I've been saying on my radio program lately. My comments about the situation in Haiti have hurt and angered many Americans who genuinely care about the plight of the Haitian people, and that hurt and anger will likely never go away. Many of you are probably wondering, "What would compel a human being to say things like that?" Well, here's your answer: I am a very bad person. And, to tell you the truth, I don't really want to be alive anymore.


.... I've imagined my death a thousand times over, and it's always the same. In my mind's eye, a serene setting comes into view. I see a funeral procession driving down some small-town Main Street in Nowheresville, U.S.A. On one side of the street, a collection of sycophants and morons are paying their respects in subliterate, sanctimonious tones. Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, I can just make out the faint image of a young boy, his brow furrowed in confusion, clutching the hand of his father. "Who is that man, Daddy?" he asks as the hearse containing my bloated, lifeless body rolls by. "Who is that person they speak of?" The father will then lower his head and say, "There, my son, go the remains of Rush Hudson Limbaugh, the most abominable lump of festering dog shit in the history of American broadcasting. May the likes of him never again soil or tarnish the greatness of our fair country."

Please forgive me, everyone. I am so sorry.

Rush Limbaugh, Oil spill Truther.

"I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. ... Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade, that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day. I remember that. And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it. But this bill, the cap-and-trade bill, was strongly criticized by hardcore environmentalist wackos because it supposedly allowed more offshore drilling and nuclear plants, nuclear plant investment. So, since they're sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they're sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here."
Unconscionable: Rush Says Greens Might Be Behind BP Disaster : TreeHugger

Rush Limbaugh, Environmentalist.

On top of claiming that the explosion could be eco-terrorism (without any kind of evidence), Rush Limbaugh said that the cleanup was unnecessary.:

"The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there," Limbaugh said. "It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is."

Way to go Rush.

Actually, he has a point. Oil has been spewing up in the oceans for millennia. Not "man-made" tho. Just like volcanoes erupt, locusts swarm, tornadoes rip. Hmm, wonder when the tree-huggers can attribute those acts of Mother Nature to man.

Tree huggers? Is that what a person who has enough heart and insight to care about the environment is to you? What filthy people they must be. I say cull them. Who needs them? They eat into the profits of big business and chop percentages off investor returns. Filthy animals.

In a world of ever-increasing ideological disharmony, a new, equally violent terrorist has emerged – the eco-terrorist. Like the purveyors of radical Islamic terrorism, the eco-terrorist uses fear, intimidation, and violence in attainment of its goal, which for the eco-terrorist is simply the reclamation of the Earth to its pre-humanity condition, no matter what the cost.
...
Paul Watson is considered by many to be the originator of environmental terrorism; what he refers to as “passionate activism.” Watson was one of the founders of Greenpeace...Of Greenpeace’s objection to the use of excessive violence in their protests, Watson declared his former group the “Avon ladies of the environmental movement.”
...

In 1977, Watson founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), which Watson describes as a “policing organization,” but which is in fact a radical terrorist outfit the travels the oceans of the world enacting violence against the world’s fishing industry. Watson oversees a small fleet of ships outfitted with cement-filled bows built for the sole purpose of violently ramming and sinking ships they deem as enemies of the environment; this could take on the shape of everything from large whaling ships to small commercial fishing vessels.

...
Aside from jeopardizing the lives of seamen in the world’s fishing industries, Watson has also taken his terroistic crusade to land. Watson oversees the radical activist group, Coeur du Bois (Heart of the Wood), which spikes trees targeted for cutting by the logging industry. Watson himself has claimed to have created “tree spiking,” which consists of driving large nails into trees in attempt to hurt lumberjacks upon their felling or milling. His plan succeeded, and in 1987 (and many times since then), a mill worker in California received a broken jaw when his band saw struck spikes in a tree, causing the blade to splinter in an explosion of shrapnel. Of the use of tree-spiking and its possible deadly consequences, Watson said, without a shred of remorse, “Those loggers don’t give a damn for future generations… And if they don’t have any compassion for the future, I don’t have any compassion for them.”

(poor git. If loggers were allowed to go in and chop down a lot of deadwood, the annual fires in CA and Canada would be reduced. But, go ahead and spike the trees and kill loggers. Funny, they are just doing their jobs...)

..

In a recent interview, when asked if he viewed violence as a “legitimate means of social change,” Watson replied, “We are a violent species, and we always solve our problems with violence. There have been no exceptions. Nonviolent victories are a myth.

I don't need to "try again"- I was right the first time- most natural oil eruptions do not reach land- please show me where that is incorrect:

OK...

I changed my wording slightly as a small amount of it does reach land, but not in the form of a 'slick'.

If you had read the article, you would have known that any naturally erupted oil that reaches the shore does so as "tar balls" and doesn't "stick around" or do any damage- please cite one incidence of a natural spill ever doing harm to a coastline.

From the article:

Based on their previous research, Valentine and his co-authors surmised that the oil was sinking "because this oil is heavy to begin with," Valentine said. "It's a good bet that it ends up in the sediments because it's not ending up on land. It's not dissolving in ocean water, so it's almost certain that it is ending up in the sediments."

Don't ya just LOVE the way Rush manipulates listeners with this?

It was on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show that Mexican president Felipe Calderon admitted that his government treats immigrants ... well, they treat immigrants the way idiot leftists claim immigrants are treated in Arizona. But it took America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, to really bring the exchange to life.

Rush Limbaugh, who drinks $4,000 bottles of wine and built his house to resemble Versailles, would like to remind you that liberal elitists are out of touch with the working man.

Nasty bunch oozing up right in the heart of LA.

I believe the fact we were discussing ocean-based eruptions was a given- I didn't forget all those Texas oil fields.

Pic above is of the La Brea tar pits near downtown Los Angeles.

BP Gulf spill is result of human drilling.

Blustering hypocrite? He's got some real good questions Comrade Obama can't answer here:

^ Calderone also taught him the meaning of mañana.

No wonder B. Hussein has been making appointments likely to find ways to shut Rush up.
