cf rush limbaugh using 100k dead as an excuse to zing obama and collaterally the dead 100k.

Not to defend Rush, AT ALL, but I think if the reporting was more thorough and explained how grave a situation we're talking about, not even Rush would have said that. He probably just thought it was a standard-issue natural disaster. Not so.

He'll backpedal a bit, I'm certain of it. But so what. Fuck him right in the ear.

kenan, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm googling around for where to send money. I don't trust that cell phone thing above.

kenan, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:51 (fourteen years ago) link

the text thing comes from the state department website and goes to the red cross. if you want to give more than $10 or are afraid you can go to the red cross website http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main&s_subsrc=RCO_ResponseStateSection

that these vile creatures can see no further than the length of their own political agendas, even while staring down a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable scale, a country literally crumbling to dust... are they even human themselves?

cell phone thing is legit. it was set up by the us state dept.

if someone runs over pat robertson with a mack truck several times, can we just presume it was because he had a pact with the devil?

what a despicable, evil man.

For fuck's sake why didn't Rush die from those chest pains.

enough about those cunts - what the fuck @ this earthquake, this is terrible

Thanks for the clarification and links re: cell phone contributions. I'm very given to distrusting my cell phone company.

kenan, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link

well accidentally watched that pat robertson thing on another website and am going fucking apoplectic

everybody's into weirdness right now (gbx), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link

rush is looking ill recently, i kinda "worry" about his health!

A™ machine (sic) (omar little), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:57 (fourteen years ago) link

honestly i think pat robertson is going senile

A™ machine (sic) (omar little), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:57 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't care

everybody's into weirdness right now (gbx), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:57 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah there are def scams around i just posted it because i know it's easy to put stuff off and it's a small enough amount. that one and the wyclef one are legit.

harbl, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:58 (fourteen years ago) link

actually, no, i do. because telling myself he's senile is probably the only thing making me believe that basically people are ok.

everybody's into weirdness right now (gbx), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:58 (fourteen years ago) link

see that's what i try to think, otherwise i lose my shit. incredible asshole drivers = they're en route to the emergency room to see their grandmother. etc

A™ machine (sic) (omar little), Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah, i don't really believe that anymore.

what kind of present your naked body (Upt0eleven), Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link

haha if this is evidence of him going senile now he's been senile for decades, poor guy

harbl, Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah it doesn't help me actually...

Let's take a moment to imagine what Pat Robertson would have said if Haiti had been a white, Christian country.

No, nevermind, if it was that, they wouldn't have been getting fucked so hard for the last 500 years, and this would be a bad earthquake instead of something almost impossible to wrap your head around.

pat robertson is the number 2 trending topic on twitter and NOT ONE person is defending him anywhere in the entire world. not one.
the most common retweet being "I thought "Pat Robertson" was trending because was dead. Turns out it's just because everyone wishes he was."

piscesx, Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:13 (fourteen years ago) link

who knew that tweeting could feel so good

CNN's Gary Tuchman reports that bodies are lying in the streets of Port-au-Prince. He says there are no emergency officials in sight, and residents are watching the flies to find out where to dig in the rubble.

I really don't think we're able to predict just how bad this is going to be. I mean, Katrina was a straight mind-bludgeon that something that bad and that negligent could happen in the USA.

Not to make light of the sitch in NOLA, but this is going to make Katrina look like the acid trip sequence from Easy Rider. Fuck, this is really depressing.

Clerk all KNOWIN (B.L.A.M.), Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link

And yeah, Pat Robertson should be banned from all media outlets. By Constitutional amendment, if need be.

Clerk all KNOWIN (B.L.A.M.), Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link

The Constitution won't let us make a law like that, unfortunately.

Not really sure why this thread has become 2/3 devoted to Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson. Seems kind of besides the point.

My first destination for international disaster related charitable giving is always the Red Cross. Is this in fact the best place to give?

Super Cub, Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Seems kind of besides the point.

You get a patch for honor. But what are we going to do? Besides give money? Which I have to believe helps.

Yes, give to the Red Cross.

I didn't do myself any favors by going to Rush's website :\

Miss Bannister (╓abies), Thursday, 14 January 2010 00:40 (fourteen years ago) link

it does help Kenan.

give to: MSF, PIH, Red Cross

I agree there isn't much to do, or say. I just hate the idea of talking about these fuckers and their smallness.
