    Everytime I hear this fat cretin open his waffle-basket, I want to punch him in the mouth. In his latest tirade, he laughed and passed jokes about the Japanese tsunami. How this guy still makes the airwaves is beyond me.

    I can't say what i'd like to say about him, the most appropriate for boards i can do is ignorant moron.
    The Japanese have done a lot for the environment, they've given us the prius

    Only an American would use that as their prime example.

    Limbaugh is only a mouthpiece. The real tragedy is that he's representative of a large portion of the US population.

    That Cenk guy is just as irritating - "Nobody made the claim that recycling prevents earthquakes." Thanks, genius.

    That was aimed at Limbaugh, who obviously didn't understand it - and not at a rationally minded person. You obviously missed that.

    Self-righteous democratic bullsh1t. Cenk gives right-wingers like O'Reilly and Limbaugh a run for their money. Great to see they can't rise above this kind of political point-scoring garbage either. They're as bad as each other.

    I frequently laugh at the likes of Limbaugh. He makes a living off other's misery and misfortunes, he thinks the marginalised are fair game. How can you not laugh at an imbecile like this?

    He's vile and completely distasteful in everything he does. He's not a credible political commentator. He should just be ignored. Thankfully we don't have to deal with him in this part of the world.

    Point scoring is one thing, but I don't remember Cenk poking fun at the loss of life. That's where they differ.

    I'm laughing at his wanton ignorance and desperate bid to be controversial and bait the liberals. There is a difference, laughing at him rather than with him.

    I find this thread interesting.

    Why, because I was in my car, yesterday, listening to this very segment, in context. You know, not out of context. Driving down HWY 78. He was actually mocking an ABC report which took astonishment that the Japanese had the herewithall to establish recycling bins in the wake of the disaster.

    http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/staying-strong-face-tragedy-13135898?tab=9482930&section=1206853&playlist=13136135&page=1

    Limbaugh's Segment was all about mocking her, "It's Recycaling!" quote. You can see it in the clip above. Rush likened her astonishment to saying that she would compliment a beach house resident for keeping the lights off for the Sea Turtles, if that home was experiencing a blackout.

    tl;dr MSNBC is taking it out of context and getting it completely wrong. I have no sympathy for Rush but it only validates him to make up dirt about him. Theres plenty of reasons to disagree with him that dont involve underhanded tactics.

    In fairness, you can't take what he said out of context. He was quite clearly making light of the disaster. What he said is condemnable. It doesn't matter if he was responding to the recycling piece on ABC. It's his wording and his sneering that is condemnable.

    Yes, you really can take what he said out of context, its very easy to do. And having listened to his broadcast that same day within those same 20 minutes, I'm telling you: it has been.

    You can defend him all you like - I heard his words. They were very clear. He's poking fun at the misfortune of the Japanese, even if it is in response to a recycling story by ABC.

    Feel pity for Rush, he's so lame he can only get his jollies from kicking someone when they're down. All in the name of "humour".

    if anything with the prius remark he is mocking the caller, and I don't know how he keeps a straight face at the hippy reference to "Gaia"

    I think you're looking to be offended, frankly.

    Im defending Clarity, but you can also defend that cenk guy all you like as well. Speaking of which if you caught that context I wonder why you didn't catch Limbaugh's?

    Cenk sums him up well, painfully stupid and painfully offensive.

    Nope, it's still offensive. And I'm not looking to "be offended". I came across the video from a link on facebook. It wasn't as if I woke up this morning and search youtube for Rush Limbaugh making fun of Japanese people.

    What he said is offensive. He's a bigot, a loud-mouth and shouldn't be on national media.
