Another Misstep By our Local Rag's "Director of Regional Content for Florida Freedom Newspapers"

Pat Rice tries to equate Cherry picked comments from Rush Limbaugh and some really off the wall comments from Pat Robertson.

My response:

Here are Mr. Limbaugh's comments on the issue
Mr. Rice

Before you condemn Mr. Limbaugh's "Comments", you need to put them in context of the issue he was discussing. He claims that he was telling people it is more efficient to donate to private vice Gov't relief efforts.

Generally, that is a very true statement. However, as retired Navy, I would argue with Mr. Limbaugh there are some things that only the US Gov't can do..In this case bringing security and order and by the rapid deployment of security forces and making quick repair of needed infrastructure to support civilian relief efforts.

Mr. Rice, I suggest you listen to all of Mr. Limbaugh's comments in context and also recognize when he is in "satire" mode. He has three hours of airtime to fill and it very easy (and essentially a cheap shot) to cherry pick the comments. Once again, some research on your part might have changed your mind WRT to what Limbaugh said (However, I doubt it..you made your mind up on the man long ago).

When history is written, it will be said that he had a much bigger and important impact on American Political Discourse than practically any other political pundit. He was on the bleeding edge of breaking the monopoly of information held by the MSM and their entrenched left wing bias (Which you admitted to in a previous post..so much for journalism school!)

I don't always agree with Limbaugh, but I respect him for what he has done.

As for the Pat Robertson, He makes Elmer Gantry look like Pope John Paul II in comparison. Obviously he is under the spell of some evil Haitian Voodoo spell. (I'm being Sarcastic Pat.....Pat Robertson is a certified idiot)
