The right-wing media react to Haiti | Media Matters for America

A round-up of the conservative cretins that are both politicizing the Haitian earthquake and insulting those suffering and dying in that disaster. Seriously, if you are a Republican and you buy into this shit, you’re not even human.

Hell, even the Hannity trolls can’t stand Robertson. Well, most of them.

Hell, FAUXNews can barely be bothered to cover the story, spending less than 7 minutes covering Haiti two nights ago when the first day’s work of solid news was coming in.

That said, maybe less from these racist bastards is best, as this is the crap FAUX chooses to report:

Rep. Steve King: Deported Haitians Could Help With Relief Effort | TPM LiveWire

More compassionate conservatism from the GOP. In short, let’s go ahead and find any Haitians here illegally, then immediately put them to work digging through the rubble of their homeland.

“Illegal immigrants from Haiti have no reason to fear deportation, but if they are deported, Haiti is in great need of relief workers, and many of them could be a big help to their fellow Haitians.”

Want To Make Use Of $47 Billion To Spare? Help Haiti : NPR

Juan Cole has a great idea. Sadly it is one the greedy bastards who brought our economy to it’s knees will never accept. His plan? Have the banks who are paying our $47 billion in bonuses to their scumbags as thanks for screwing everyone over given just 10% of it over to the Haiti earthquake relief effort.

Granted, these are the assholes who gave out bonuses FOR FAILURE and then are giving out bonuses for making a profit BECAUSE WE BAILED THEM OUT! That is at least two years of bonuses for either failing or succeeding because someone else kept your asses employed.

I’d be surprised if we saw a hundredth of a percent of all that money go to help anyone other than the GOP. Greedy, soulless cretins.

A Letter to Rush Limbaugh :: rogerebert.com :: Opinion

Roger Ebert continues to impress me.

Haiti has lost untold thousands of lives. One third of the population has lost its homes. Countless people are still buried in the rubble. Every American president would act quickly to help our neighbor. You are so cynical and heartless as to explain Obama’s action in a way that unpleasantly suggests how your mind works.

You have a sizable listening audience. You apparently know how to please them. Anybody given a $400 million contract must know what he is doing.

That’s what offends me. You know exactly what you’re doing.
