Keith's comment on Limbaugh and Robertson was powerful stuff. *FULL TEXT*
Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 09:11 PM by tmyers09
I don't know if I've ever seen him so torn up. Video is needed of this ASAP.

"Even the worst of us in this political mosh pit of the early 21st Century can stop on occasion in grief and human sympathy, in mourning, or just in self-preservation. Not Rush Limbaugh, and not Pat Robertson. We'll explore this at length later, but Mr. Robertson, it is laughable now to try to call him Reverend, explained today that this earthquake was the result of a quote "Deal with the Devil" that he claims the nation made in the 19th Century to gain its freedom from France. "True story", Robertson says. Sir, because of your tone deafness and your delight in human misery, and your dripping, self-satisfied holier-than-thou senile crap, I am now likelier to believe that *you* are the Devil."

"Limbaugh, meantime, did not know when to just shut up. Today he blamed "Communism" for the poverty of Haiti, blamed President Obama for holding a news conference the day after this cataclysm, when he did not hold one after the failed, half-assed terror attempt in Detroit, and said Mr. Obama would quote "Use Haiti" to quote "Burnish their shall we say, credibility with the Black community in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned Black community in this country."

"Mr Robertson, Mr. Limbaugh. Your lives are not worth those of the lowest, meanest, poorest of those victims still lying under that rubble in Haiti tonight. You serve no good, you serve no God. You inspire only stupidity and hatred, and I would wish you to Hell. But knowing how empty your souls must be for you to be able to say such things in a time of such pain, I suspect the vacant, purposeless lives you both live now, are Hell enough already."

*EDITED NOW WITH FULL TEXT*

29. What do you have against drugs and syphilis?
Limbaugh and Robertson are responsible for their own actions, don't give either one of them any excuse.

And it's not hate that has warped Limbaugh and Robertson, it is love, love of money.

Neither one believes the sewage that escapes their lips, if they did I could understand if not excuse their utterances.

38. Be thankful you aren't like them, or one of them.
That would be hell for anyone associated with you who had even an ounce of empathy or compassion.

10. Of course they don't care what Keith says ...
but he speaks so passionately for so many of us who have no voice at all.

WE care a great deal.
Thank-you Keith.

18. I only wish he were right about how their lives must be hell.
But really, when you have no conscience and you're living a wealthy, cushy life, can that really be called hell?

No, these guys aren't suffering one iota of pain or misery over what they said. Not one.

And, for crying out loud, that bimbo sitting there LISTENING to Pat and going "Hmmm" thoughtfully, as if she were learning history at the feet of the great master. She should be on her knees right now begging forgiveness if she really believes in God. Disgusting.

Although he was much, much, kinder than I would have been. He seemed to show great restraint.

As to the two shitbirds? Zero surprise on my part that the inhuman pieces of excrement would spew this sort of vile hatred. It is them, they are it.

26. K & R. These men are living, walking garbage.
The president rallies the nation's resources and good will for the rescue of a neighboring population in peril, and THIS is what they have to say?

Like Keith implies, Hell is too good for them.

39. Mr. Olberman speaks for me
I thought the same thing when I read the vile comments of Limbaugh and Robertson - they are, quite simply, soul-less - there's no empathy, no heart, no compassion - just sheer, empty ugliness
