NBC meteorologist Al Roker clashed with Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday after the conservative radio host suggested warnings about Hurricane Irma were driven by political agendas around climate change.
The longtime "Today" personality took to Twitter to slam Limbaugh in two tweets while using a #ShameOnRush hashtag in a message to his 1.7 million followers.
"Do not listen to @rushlimbaugh when he says #Irma is not a dangerous #storm and is hype. He is putting people's lives at risk," wrote the 63-year-old Roker.
"To have @rushlimbaugh suggest the warnings about #Irma are #fake or about profit and to ignore them borders on criminal. #ShameOnRush," he wrote in subsequent tweet.

(32,057 posts)while Rush hosts from West Palm. I remember reading his producers and call screeners worked out of his "flagship stations" in NYC (WABC from 1992-2014, since then WOR).

I hope that the room where he actually records his shows gets filled with raw sewage and toxic chemicals and that it gives him cancer when he goes back

The only difference is, Limbaugh is ridiculously rich, while his fans are mostly out of work, lower middle class jerks.

(24,324 posts)Hurricane coverage is a hoax.
What I DO see him saying is that liberals saying that climate change even exists is a hoax, and 'they' are using hurricanes as 'proof.'
Please correct me if I am wrong because I feel a little slimy about saying it.
But, just want to get it right.
otherwise Limbaugh can go fuck himself...
SunSeeker
(51,724 posts)Rush Limbaugh basically said the warnings about Irma are inflated to advance a "climate change agenda":
If he says officials are "creating fear and panic," even the dumbass morans who listen to him get what he is saying: the officials are making shit up, i.e. "creating."

(41,862 posts)What a Chicken shit! Common Rush, if you so firmly believe Hurricanes are a Hoax than why not stay, do your SHOW from the Beach and slather on that suntan oil and do the show from a beach chair, with your Shades on...
A Security nature? Do you think people are going to shoot at you? Yeah, that's right, you are too damn important to the Country to be put in any remote danger, but this is a sure thing right? A HOAX... are you going to let a Hoax scare you off? Those Big Dark clouds on the Horizon are nothing to worry about.. is probably cause the earth is in partial darkness from one half of the planet being in darkness of night.
Oh wait, that couldn't be right, because in your world, the planet is a flat pancake and the universe spins around it, right? You arrogant piece of Beach flotsam??

(19,204 posts)aren't really rebuilding their homes, businesses, lives.....that's all a "liberal hoax" as well! Trump was in Texas and we didn't see him hang around anyplace that was devastated, flooded etc. So all that must be a "liberal hoax" too!
Damned liberals! Scaring good, solid, white, god fearing Americans with their "climate change" baloney!

(16,296 posts)Listen to that old saying , Limbaugh ditto heads - Rushbo knows what he is talking about and the big jet you see as you look up into the darkening skies with his name on it flying north is just an illusion. You stay right there, Rush fans and ride out that liberal hurricane and fake climate change monster. (Seriously, get the fuck out).

(7,715 posts)...this would be definitive proof about who and what this fool really is.
Then again, the phrase "preaching to the choir" comes to mind about Rush and his listeners.
if all 66 million+ that voted for the doofus ignoramus potus lived in s. fla. how many, on this pigs advice, do you think would stay? I say more than 90%.....are that stupid.
how stupid must a person be to listen to this?
FakeNoose
(32,773 posts)... really stupid!
And yet he has tons of fans. Amazing isn't it?
Rush Limbaugh has about $500 million the bank, and I'll bet most of his listeners don't even have $500.
This is the guy who's run the hate-campaign against Hillary for the last 25 or 30 years.

Docreed2003
(16,877 posts)Why Rush? Because you're a hypocritical blow hard that can't admit they fucked up!? What, were you anticipating with you're great scientific knowledge that the storm would turn and spare you?? I'm sure that's the case because you were hoping that you could look back on Monday and say "See, I told you." Fuck you Rush and I hope you have just karma for the shit you have stirred over this storm. I'm sure you'll do just fine in whatever millionaire bungalo you've escaped to

SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)will blow the EIB studio into a thousand pieces. Rush would then tell his listeners the show was coming to them from an "alternative site" (for security reasons, you know!) while the EIB studio was having "scheduled maintenance". One good lie deserves another. Then another. Then another. Repeat ad nauseum.

Ligyron
(7,639 posts)Rush is on the north end of the island of Pam Beach a block or so from the inlet. A friend of mine (liberal and gay) sold it to him in what he admitted was one of the most politically incorrect acts of his lifetime.
It is not a huge house by Palm Beach standards but it is a great location with a nice, large (so far) beach with coastal dunes and a decent surf break in the winter. Not that Rush would attempt anything so cool and athletic. He may have also bought property where you indicated since he's got way more money than human decency.

(9,841 posts)"Limbaugh presented the departure as more of an inconvenience than a proper response to imminent danger.
You know, I had to cancel a bunch of stuff, he said. I was going to go to a private movie screening this afternoon, and I had a bunch of stuff to do tonight, and now that's all blown to smithereens.
