[white cloud]

If needed feel free to move.

Maybe we need GWB to do another fly by for these people an ignore there needs.

an email I recieved today. Thanks Barack
Good Afternoon,

The reports and images from Haiti of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes, and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching. As we learn more about the extent of the devastation, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti and Haitian Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home.

I have directed my Administration to respond with a swift, coordinated and aggressive effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States Government in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian relief -- the food, water and medicine -- that Haitians will need in the coming days.

This is also a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share, and Americans have always responded to these situations with generosity of spirit. If you would like to support the urgent humanitarian effort in Haiti, I encourage you to visit our website where you can learn more about how to contribute:

Americans trying to locate family members in Haiti are encouraged to contact the State Department at [phone].

We will continue to stand with the people of Haiti and keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

1. Rush Limbaugh wastes no time in politicizing dead Haitians

just look at all the hate here.

Less than twenty-four hours after Haiti's most devastating earthquake in 200 years; which, when all is said and done, could result in over 100,000 deaths, Rush Limbaugh, instead of using his precious airtime to perhaps express grief and compassion for the countless victims of this horrific disaster, instead decided to blast the Obama Administration for its response.

Because, in Limbaugh's bloated and bigoted mind, Obama has responded much, much too soon.

2. He and the other hater Pat Robertson too

Yahoo News 1/14/10
Rush, Robertson take heat

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and televangelist Pat Robertson are being scolded for their comments in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake in Haiti that has killed tens of thousands, according to early estimates.

Critics from both the left and right are denouncing their remarks as insensitive to the disaster and attempts to score political points off human tragedy.

Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look "compassionate" and "humanitarian" while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the "light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country."

He added: "We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax."

Lowest scum on the earth. They relish every opportunity to take a swipe at President Obama, no matter who gets hurt or dies. They care nothing about human suffering, except their own. A pox on both their houses! :puke:

3. Morning Joe again rips Limbaugh

Morning Joe again rips Limbaugh, call his Haiti comments "sad" and "pathetic"

4. "Unfortunate politics of the relief situation"

And Scarborough is a republican too. Good for him to distance himself from that hater Limbaugh.

"...Lets show humanity. Limbaugh shows no humanity. He has a cold heart."

Falls on Limbaugh's deaf ears. That ass-hat was just as vile during the Katrina crisis in New Orleans.

(hold your nose to visit the News Max site)

News Max 9/6/2005
Rush Limbaugh: Katrina's Lessons

America's top talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that the Hurricane Katrina disaster and the fingerpointing that has ensued offers the nation some profound lessons.

"What we've seen in New Orleans is first and foremost the utter failure of generation after generation after generation of the entitlement mentality," Limbaugh began at the top of his show.

Flood victims had been doubly victimized by the perception that government would somehow save them from nature's rage, he said.

Hater Limbaugh probably wanted to say the same thing New Orleans then - don't send money or aid - because your income tax in the U.S. is already doing that.

He's just a worthless human being. :puke:

5. Got this e rumor from a hateful bigot rushlican crazy uncle

HELP ME DEBUNK IT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN HAITI,
YOU'LL FIND THIS INTERESTING.
PARDON SOME OF THE LANGUAGE -- IT'S FROM A MILITARY GUY. MUCH OF IT IS
POSITIVELY INFURIATING.

Again, my ex-boss, Retired Colonel, keeps us informed of the true story!

Subject: Haiti Diary

BG Mike Seely (U.S. Army - Ret.) forwarded this from a friend that just
returned from Haiti.

FYI.
Date: Monday, January 25, 2010, 5:47 AM
News back from Nick Brockhausen. He and Dennis Hebler made it back
somewhat safe and sound.

To All,
I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on theother. Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact. Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead; the city smells like a charnal house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti american. Most are French or french speakers, worthless every damn one of them.

While 1800 rescuers were ready, willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID ( another organization full of little OBamamites and communists that openly speak against America), these two organizations exemplared their parochialism by:

USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.

Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble. Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn't release a drop of it to the rescuers.

No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.

No latrine facilities, less digging a hole, if you set up a shitter everyone was trying to use it.

I watched a 25 year old Obamamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically; berate a full bird colonel in the Air Force, because he countermanded her orders, whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern. "You dont know what your president wants! The military isn't in charge here we are!"

If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don't waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left. If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans? Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society?

Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn't need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc. Thats not just my opinion, that is what virtually every Haitian we talkedwith said. "The French run UN treat us the same as when we were a colony, at least Papa Doc ran the country."

Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US AIRWAYs home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a 590 dollar baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn't give us a discount or she would lose her job. Pass that on to the flying public.

6. First point

Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper are not left wing journalists. CNN is the conservative news network. Maybe not as crazy like Fox but not liberal by any stretch of the imagination. Hell they just parted ways with racist Lou Dobbs only recently.

One thing for sure is this is spreading like wildfire on the right wing boards - which of course makes it unlikely.

A few good point being made in the discussion on Snopes.com
Report from Haiti

7. Yep...I got it too.

Hiya,

I received this same forward several days ago. Funny though, it had a different 'military-hero-red-blooded-red-white-and-blue-respectable-you-can-believe-me' guy in the header. Hmmm, go figure. At any rate; I sent it on to Media Matters and FactCheck.org for their perusal and consideration. I'm waiting to hear back from them. ...And, you're right. It is spreading like proverbial wild fire through the right-wing blog-a-sphere.

Yours,
me
