Limbaugh thinks oil spill clean up unnecessary

Quote from the St. Petersburg Times:

Pundit Rush Limbaugh, who has a home on Florida's Palm Beach, suggested that the explosion could have resulted from Earth Day eco-sabotage by one of the rig workers. Limbaugh also said a 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."

1. He really is a stupid, immoral fuckbag and bringer of chaos.
And I think his spreading of chaos is what fuels his sexual urges.

Normal guys masturbate to pictures of naked people. I think he gets off on seeing things blow up, watching people get hurt, videos of teabagger hate speech, and newsfeeds of acts of violence that happen because of him, like the SUV bomb Times Square, McVeigh, and anti-abortionists murdering doctors.

2. Gene Taylor - D from Mississippi - agrees with him
U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor on Saturday said people shouldn’t be so scared about the massive oil spill in the Gulf; he said after flying over it, “it’s not as bad as I thought.”

Taylor said the oil could break up before reaching Mississippi shores.

3. Just doing his job establishing an absurd RW position so that the limited cleanup....
that will be done can be presented as a "reasonable compromise."

9. Of all the dumb things limbaugh has said, the statement that "the
ocean will take care of it naturally" is the dumbest. nt

16. But he's right! The ocean WILL take care of it naturally...
...in many many years, after wreaking major environmental destruction, killing wildlife and ruining entire industries and people's livelihoods.

12. Since when does Rush count as a "pundit"?
He's a guy who spouts insane stuff on the radio. Are shock jocks pundits too?

But of course if it shows up on his beach he'll call Xe to come and rescue his sorry fat ass.

15. Sure it's natural. It's an everyday thing for oil to leak into the ocean at this rate.
It's really scary and disheartening to know that his dittoheads will take this "fact" to heart and totally ignore the danger of this oil spill to the environment.

17. Limbaugh's corporate handlers have told him in no uncertain terms...
Edited on Mon May-03-10 08:55 AM by bridgit
To get the fuck out there and turn this thing around. He tried by suggesting it was all Obama's doing - that wasn't polling well as the words spittled out his mouth. He then blamed it on sabotage, which little Dana Perino picked up and ran with - but that is to refute Halliburton's *immediate* proximity to the building of the platform, the operation of it, the cementing process and more importantly: Dick Cheney's secret energy policy now bearing ill-fruit everywhere - so that fell by the wayside and now we have this Zen-like 'without chemicals life itself would be impossible' gibberish. An attempt to limit BP/Halliburton liability by cobbling a stream of irresponsibilities, a demonstrably insincere RW/Tea Bag relationship with the environment, to faceless bogeymen somewhere else

I feel sorry for people still scared shit-less over Limbaugh when he is little more than a babbling, functional illiterate

19. Yes Rush
Edited on Mon May-03-10 08:45 AM by ChickMagic
And oil platforms are just dainty ocean daisies. Natural as can be.
The ocean does take care of it Rush. It's driven by currents and
prevailing winds into sensitive ecosystems like the Mississippi
Delta where a plethora of creatures, many endangered, go to reproduce.
It's only natural for animals to be covered in muck and, along with
humans, it's only natural to breathe the toxic chemicals.

Shut up Rush, you hypocritical, blathering, empty headed, propagandist,
seditious, violence inciting freak. In any normal universe, you would
have been born a red wriggler. A really, really fat red wriggler.

20. It's like saying that wildfires
are natural and we should just let them burn out, because eventually they'll just stop on their own. What a foolish statement.

21. Which is exactly what the ditto-heads I work with will be belching from their
filth-befouled pie-holes. The fact that so many people believe and are so enamored of this carnival-barking provacateur continually amazes & frustrates me both.

25. Does he feel the same way about human feces? They are "natural", too.
Oh, and how about the wastes produced by, say, New Jersey's many chemical plants??

Men drilled the hole in the ground that let the oil leak out >>> men can damned well clean up the mess they made.

26. Limbaugh just strikes me as an idiot.
He's legitimately stupid. He actually believes the things that he says, and when somebody corrects him, he doesn't care.

Oxymoron.


Limpballs thinks what his corporate masters tell him to think. Then he disseminates the hateful vile to his knuckle dragging teabagger fan base, so they know the "facts"! LOL

Funny how a party run by moonies, mormons and big business has such a death grip on the Reich wing. Even the so-called religious right is marching to the tune of Rev Moon and magic underwear nutjobs like Becky.

Certainly more natural than Oxycontin.
