Limbaugh again proves he hasn't a hint of human decency -rushes to defense of Massey CEO Blankenship
while using the deaths of 29 miners to push his same tired talking points:

RUSH: Look at what they're doing to this mine owner up in West Virginia. They are trying to criminalize this guy, not because of his violations, but because he donated to a legal political party, legally, the Republicans.

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: This Blankenship guy, they are trying to criminalize him. Meanwhile, Rahm Emanuel can stand up at a banquet at the head table, start yelling the names of politicians and stab the table with a knife and shout "dead" and nobody gives a care about that. But they're trying to destroy this guy. They're trying to criminalize work. They're trying to say that you and I and everybody else like us that work, we're the ones that are greedy. We're the ones that need to have our taxes raised because life's been too fair for us, and these poor people that don't have anything -- the theft that is being performed on us is called virtue and compassion.

Yeah Rush, the leveled mountains, poisoned water, purchased judges, and endangered communities and miners had nothing to do with why we hate this guy here in W.Va.

Those poor widdle Republican victims of the big bad lib'rul media!

Of course, no one bothers to tell Rush that "Spike" Maynard, the judge that Don took to the French Riviera and bribed, was a Democrat at the time.

---


Here's a nugget from Rush's hero - the kind of vile shit that anyone, regardless of political party, should be disgusted by (unless, like Rush, they completely lack a conscience):

At his Labor Day anti-union rally last year, Massey CEO Don Blankenship attacked the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), claiming it "seeks power over coal miners." He mocked both "Washington politicians" and local elected officials who attempt to ensure miner safety, calling their efforts "as silly as global warming"

1. The guy could be a Democrat and I'd still think he was scum.

But it ain't a coincidence that he and that Bob Murray, owner of the Utah mine that had a cave-in back in '07, are Republicans.

2. Sure Rush, the poor guy is just a working stiff trying to get by...
Jeezus, how fucking idiotic.

Blankenship is a heartless fuck, just like pig-boy. He deserves negligent homicide charges (at the very least).

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought ALL those murdered miners were AT WORK when they were killed!

6. dont you just love that phony working class appeal?
He acts like Blankenship was toiling away in that mine himself.

And Rush believes that getting paid millions to pop pills and yell into a golden microphome is "work."

8. ...because he donated to a legal political party.
Yeah. The party of death. The answer for all Republicans for every negative human condition is 'let them die'. They want a piece of meat in a womb to survive but if you're breathing and walking and don't have health care or you're in a disaster they want you to die to save money.

9. Frankly, I don't give a shit what party he donated to. I really don't.
All I know is he bathes in blood and $100 bills, and that's enough for me.

10. And Massey Throws Money At Rushbo...
Ya know all those "clean coal" commercials you hear about? Who do you think is chipping in the bucks to spread that propaganda? Massey is one of the biggest contributor to several groups that buy radio and tv time to spread those myths. Rushbo NEVER bites the hands that feed him...the glutonous swine!

13. Blankenshite is a deadbeat...
Too cheap to pay those fines, but he has the money to pay Rush to tote his polluted water.

The EPA needs to shut Rush down for the toxic emissions that he puts out 24/7.

12. I'd favor strapping Rush Limbaugh to a chair and taping his eyes open
-- as they did Alex in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE -- so he would have no choice but to watch John Sayles' magnificent film MATEWAN.

It might go a long way toward a reassessment of the Massey miners who died this past week because its CEO was a self-serving greed monster.
