WHAT'S NEXT
FOR THE SUPPORTERS WHO CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO RACISM IN THE REPUBLICAN HATRED OF THE PRESIDENT,YOU MIGHT FIND THIS INTERESTING I KNOW A COUPLE OF YOU WILL...
--

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and televangelist Pat Robertson are being scolded for their comments in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake in Haiti that has killed tens of thousands, according to early estimates.
Critics from both the left and right are denouncing their remarks as insensitive to the disaster and attempts to score political points off human tragedy.
Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”
He added: “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”
Limbaugh’s comments were, in part, a riff on Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) much publicized remark in a new book that Obama was able to win the election because he is “light-skinned” and lacks a “Negro dialect.”
But regardless of the intended context, Limbaugh’s comments have been widely panned.
“They are deeply insensitive,” said conservative commentator Pat Buchanan on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“The president speaks for the country when he says we’re going to go in there,” he said. “You want your whole nation, and it’s very positive. And I think Rush’s comments were cynical.”
Sitting next to Buchanan on set, host Joe Scarborough called Limbaugh’s comments “deplorable.”
“The insensitivity is stunning,” said the former Republican congressman.
Liberal commentators also quickly jumped on Limbaugh.
“Limbaugh did not know when to just shut up,” said liberal commentator Keith Olbermann on his MSNBC show “Countdown.” “Today he blamed communism for the poverty of Haiti, blamed President Obama for holding a news conference the day after this cataclysm when he did not hold one after the failed half-assed terror attempt in Detroit.”
John Amato from the left-leaning website Crooks and Liars added that “with thousands of people dead already and as the suffering continues in Haiti, Limbaugh and his ilk only care about one thing: destroying Obama.”
The conservative media watchdog site Newsbusters stepped up to defend Limbaugh, saying his comments were not put in proper context, but very few others are backing the conservative firebrand’s latest controversial remarks.OF COURSE IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT-!!!!
While Limbaugh received a modicum of support, nobody of note has stepped up to defend Robertson’s claim that Haiti got hit by an earthquake because it is “cursed.”
Speaking about the disaster during his program “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson said that when Haiti was still a French colony its leaders “swore a pact to the devil” to get out from “under the heel of the French.”
“They said, ‘we will serve you if you will get us free from the French.’ True story. And so, the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal,’” Robertson claimed, as was recorded and sent around by the liberal group Media Matters.
“But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other,” he continued. “That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle on the one side is Haiti the other is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty.”
Robertson, who has a long history of making controversial remarks on his program, urged his followers to pray for the residents of Haiti and said that “out of this tragedy I’m optimistic something good may come.”
Speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said Thursday morning she was left “speechless” by Robertson’s remarks.
“That's not the attitude that expresses the spirit of the president or the American people, so I thought it was a pretty stunning comment to make,” she said.

Re: WHAT'S NEXT
OK, I read your post and missed the "Racist" statements. Now I understand why you think everything is racism. You see it everywhere, even where it isn't.
Please just cut and paste the EXACT racist statements that are in your post so we all can see them.

Racist?
Liberals are the most Racists people on the planet. They've been pandering to dark skinned Americans long before the 60's, using programs that keep them dependent on the government teat in order to get their vote.

Re: WHAT'S NEXT
Democrats are known for telling the truth such as, I did not have sex with that women and I will televise the healthcare debate on c-span so the public will know is really representing them. At least Bush was repeating information that had been given to him and not speaking directly for himself. You continue to be funny and full of BULL$HIT!!!!!!!

Re: WHAT'S NEXT
Bush never read any information given to him: You know this because you where his right hand man.
I guess you didn't pay attention to Clinton when he gave the country the same intell info. in 1998, long before Bush took office.
Sadly you keep saying the same things that aren't true but that hasn't stopped you before and I need a good laugh.

Re: WHAT'S NEXT
Well PMB, I perty much agree with that post at least the bottom half although it is up to us to research these politicians and try to choose the one that is going to do the people and the country the least amount of damage and hopefully will actually do some good.
I too would rather be following hounds than following politics.
