This isn't America...

...But it's about 25% of America.


Here's uber-moron Rush Limbaugh comparing Obama's response to the underwear bomber to his response to the Haitian earthquake:



"I want you to remember it took him three days-three days!-to respond to the Christmas Day Fruit of Kaboom bomber...He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti."
Don't speak wing-nut? Let me translate Rush's words for you:
I mean, what's hurry? Sure, thousands of people are dying underneath rubble, and thousands more dying from lack of basic care, but don't you see the message this sends? It's sending the message that 50,000 dead Haitians are more important than a couple hundred Americans who got scared on a plane. Unacceptable! And these people are niggers! I've seen 'em right there on TV. Niggers!
You don't think this is what Rush is saying?

Here he is on Obama:
"This will play right into Obama's hands. Humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to, to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in, in this country. It's made-to-order for him. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there."
Somehow, I doubt this would be his response if an earthquake struck Britain and Bush sent aid, as he surely would have:
"This will play right into Bush's hands. Humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to, to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the white community, the both light-skinned and re headed community in, in this country. It's made-to-order for him. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there."
It's ridiculous. What does race have to do with any of this? Nothing, unless you're a racist and can't stand to see black people get any kind of help at all.

Also, Via Roger Ebert: 


Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: "Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?"
Limbaugh: "Exactly. Would you trust the money's gonna go to Haiti?"
Justin: "No."
Rush: "But would you trust that your name's gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?"
Justin: "Absolutely!"
Limbaugh: "Absolutely!"

Here, he is literally accusing the President of stealing Red Cross donations. And people who listen to him nod their heads and buy this shit. In wing-nut code, "black" is synonymous with "theif". And so it all makes sense to them.

Ugh. Let's help. There are links here. Or find your own. But let's do this.
