Limbaugh: Volcanic eruption in Iceland is Gods reaction to Health Care Passage.

By Amanda Terkel at 4:00 pm Limbaugh: Volanic eruption in Iceland is God’s reaction to health care’s passage.
Yesterday, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh talked about the volcanic eruption that’s affecting air travel over much of Europe, saying it was “God speaking” in response to the passage of health care:

You know, a couple of days after the health care bill had been signed into law Obama ran around all over the country saying, “Hey, you know, I’m looking around. The earth hadn’t opened up. There’s no Armageddon out there. The birds are still chirping.” I think the earth has opened up. God may have replied. This volcano in Iceland has grounded more airplanes — airspace has more affected — than even after 9/11 because of this plume, because of this ash cloud over Northern and Western Europe. At the Paris airport they’re telling people to head to the train station to catch trains out of France, and when people get to the train station they’re telling people, “There aren’t any seats until at least April 22nd,” basically a week from now. It’s got everybody in a shutdown. Earth has opened up. I don’t know whether it’s a rebirth or Armageddon. Hopefully it’s a rebirth, God speaking.

1. More proof he's still on the oxy's

[Rex]

2. Gush, Gush, Gush

Tired and old, worn out Gush. Amazing anyone still has a braincell after listening to Gush, all he does is drain the lifeforce out of people. Leaves them with hate and fear.

[monmouth]

3. Oh yeah, he's using again. n/t

[DesertFlower]

4. and his fans will believe him.

[Mz Pip]

5. I do sort of wonder

what Rush is God's reaction to. God must have been feeling particularly full of vengance when he unleashed that massive turd on this country.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. I would tend more toward his being an instrument of the other "direction"

[PCIntern]

6. ...so He, in his Infinite wisdom, fucked up Europe's flights and weather.

Nuff said...

[rucky]

7. somebody had to say it.

[Kookaburra]

9. Exactly what I was thinking

And since Falwell isn't around to do the blaming, he left another pontificating butthead to carry on.

[Quantess]

8. Whenever Rush power farts into his swivel chair

God is telling him to lay off the oxycontin and viagra.

[mwb970]

10. I just heard Rush bellyaching abut the improvements to the student loan program.

It was a rerun from last week sometime. He railed against the "government takeover of education" that the reform portends, bemoaned the $70 billion that will be "removed from the private sector", and generally presented this (to me) improvement in the system as bringing on the Final Fall of the Empire.

It was absurd. All I kept thinking was my God, these people are mentally ill. This was a clearcut case of unwarranted paranoia and fear of nothing. What on earth is wrong with conservatives?

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. God is punishing Europe because the US passed a weak health insurance bill?

Um, yeah. Okay then.

Russia and Asia better watch out with Financial reform in the wings.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. LOL

[Gman]

12. He is such a sorry bastard. He KNOWS full well how his words will be taken

by those who will actually believe it is God speaking. And he also knows they're crazy enough to do something violent. He intentionally incites them then dares anyone to call him on what he's doing.

Nevermind that God's apparently punishing Europe for health care reform. Go figure.

[Arkana]

13. More verbal diarrhea from the King Shit himself.

[chollybocker]

14. Shouldn't he be in Costa Rica by now?

[BlueIdaho]

16. Bat. Shit. Crazy.

Yeah - that will teach us huh?

[MadBadger]

17. Paging Pat Robertson

[BrklynLiberal]

18. The very tenuous hold he may have had on reality is totally gone.

[nickinSTL]

20. that's just stupid -

or in other words, typical.

1.If a volcano in Iceland is god's punishment for the US passing health care reform, as my wife says, God is a really bad shot.

2.Europe already has UNIVERSAL health care. Why in hell would god hit anyone over the tiny amount of insurance reform that was passed? Unless s/he is pissed that we didn't enact universal health care like the rest of the industrialized world.

3.Limbaugh is an idiot.

[eleny]

21. Weak and lame

[Duer 157099]

22. Bullshit! It's obviously because of the Catholic church pedophilia

Sheesh, you'd think that'd be obvious to *anyone* who knows the mind of gawd!

[rocktivity]

23. The United States has fifty active volcanoes of its own.

Why Iceland--bad aim?

:eyes:
rocktivity

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Calling Wilma Cline, calling Wilma Cline, Stat!

The Oxypig is flipping out, bring more drugs, hurry.

[Enthusiast]

25. He can say anything

and his followers will believe him. And he knows it. A modern day Joseph Goebbels.

[Cha]

26. Get off those drugs limpbaugh.

[southern_belle]

27. God speaking?

I do not think that Rush knows what God sounds like! What he spews from his mouth (picture "The Exorcist"), does not come from a heavenly being. JMO

[kestrel91316]

28. Sadly, at least 5% of Americans will accept this as gospel truth.

[The Gunslinger]

30. Id say 30%

[The Gunslinger]

29. wow!!

The man is gone. He is as religious as a Norwegian Death metal band. I guess he skipped the parts in the Bible about Jesus healing the sick poor people for free.

[Bert]

31. what an idiot

Seriously, the freaking greeks were more advanced in their thinking that there must be a cause for things like volcano's and hurricanes. Yeah, it's god, plate techtonics have nothing to do with it. Following that logic we should throw some virgins or liberals in or something.

[Initech]

32. Or maybe it's god's reaction to letting a stupid, oxycontin addicted asshole speak for him.

[bridgit]

33. I heard that, he was careful to put it into rush-speak for his ditto heads but there it was

He; in fact they're all scraping the dregs for new ways to incite their feeble minded base

[corpseratemedia]

34. can you imagine the methane and pus mixture that seeps from his chair?

x( :nuke:

[ashling]

35. Divine retribution? Maybe. Pele will avenge

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8165530

Pele is pissed that we didn't get Single Payer.

[Q3JR4]

36. So, wait. Let me get this straight.

The U.S. passes some kind of health insurance reform bill, and god gets so pissed that he attacks...Iceland and the rest of Europe? :wtf:

Did god, like, miss when he pointed his mighty finger? Are we taking anything that happens in the world as god's judgment on the U.S.? Isn't that a little presumptuous, or at least--you know--completely wrong? :crazy:

Q3JR4.

[Mother Smuckers]

37. If anyone ever needed evidence Lush Rimbaugh is nuts, well...this surely is it.

:scared:

[Q3JR4]

38. You can say THAT again. n/t

[Liberal_Dog]

39. Fat, Hooked On Oxy-Contin, And Stupid Is No Way To Go Through Life

"Animal House" humor seems perfect for this occasion.
