Dittoheads are helping spread Rush's message and discourage Haiti charitable donations. |
|
It's disgusting. I just saw one on my home newspaper's Web site in the comments, essentially saying that the US and UN have already poured tons of money into Haiti and it hasn't helped a bit, so how do you know that if you give to that corrupt country now, most of your money isn't going to end up being skimmed off into a "Swiss bank account"?
This idea that there's no point donating to Haitian relief because the Haitian government (which they imagine to be 100% intact, up and running) is ready and waiting to take most of your money and squirrel it away is a meme they want to spread and spread far and wide. The cover they use to do it is to post it as a comment to any legitimate news article warning people to be careful where they donate and not fall victim to scams.
Of course, everyone needs to be careful not to fall victim to donation scams. But the dittoheads are trying to say "Don't give at all, because the whole relief effort is a scam."
There should be a special place in hell for these people.

4. They see that, and that's exactly why they don't like it. |
|
The suffering of the weak is to them what oxygen is to you and me.

7. That and the fact that they're afraid that if the relief effort is "too successful" |
|
it will...*whisper* make Obama look effective in a time of crisis. Especially to black people.
They're so afraid of that happening that they would rather, literally, see more people die slow, agonizing deaths.

8. It's time for Democratic leadership to call Republicans to account for this. |
|
I want every one of those motherfuckers on the record as to whether they agree with Limbaugh or not. If they refuse to condemn Limbaugh's hateful crusade AGAINST humanitarian aid for Haiti, the voters deserve to know.

10. IF and only IF a constitutant from each of those high profile |
|
republicans could ask a question and it be covered by the MSM we would get it out to the public. But we shouldn't hold our breath to have media report on this. They never ever post anything that is at all negative to republicans.
Look at CNN. They put an article up on Ticker. If they comments are all against the republicans and what they are doing....they CLOSE THE COMMENTS only after about 10 or 11.
If the comments are more slanted toward being good for the republicans they let them run sometimes 300 or more.

9. Giving them a reason to justify being an asshole |
|
This is the same way "Christians" justify the most un-Christian acts. They find a reason to self-justify being jerks.
