Right wing radio talker Rush Limbaugh has received considerable criticism for politicizing the earthquake in Haiti this week with a series of inflammatory remarks attacking President Obama. Limbaugh said the White House thinks it can use the disaster to boost its credibility with the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community” in the U.S. Defending his comments, Limbaugh attacked Obama for speaking publicly about Haiti sooner than he had the failed Christmas Day terror attack.

On his radio show, Fox News host Glenn Beck jumped on the bandwagon and showed he's a racist too.

Yet Beck’s premise is fautly. Polling shows that majorities of Americans approved of Obama’s handling of the Christmas Day plot and that it didn’t divide the country. But also, even conservatives Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham took issue with the Limbaugh-Beck attack. “It’s good that he reacts quickly to Haiti,” O’Reilly said last night on Fox News, later asking Ingraham, “You have no problem with his quick response to Haiti?” “Yeah, no,” she replied.

    • I won't be happy until I see the roof caved in on Rush, Bill, and Glenn's houses. I wonder what neighbor will help dig them out? Don't worry, they can just hire someone to do it. I wonder who it will be, since the Haitians and all the other immigrants will be busy. Are Rush, Glen, Bill, and Sean even from our planet? Oh that's right, they come from a planet called 'walled community'. (Is that like military 'intelligence?')

    • I can't even believe that the most draconian conservative agree with the verbal bullsh@t these two idiots vomit out of their mouths these days.

    • I would say unbelievable but I've heard a great deal of things that would have strained credulity from Fox, the Christian Broadcasting Network, and the so called excelence in broadcasting studios to make my blood boil.

    • I don't know why, but I keep thinking that Limbaugh and Beck hit rock bottom. And every time I do, its not long before they seem to find themselves new shovels to dig themselves deeper with, or in their case, perhaps its a case of demolition grade explosives.
