Limbaugh: Volcanic ash cloud is God’s punishment for health care

[Christa]

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.

So God is punishing Europe for our Health Care :eyes:

[daa]

1. God??? Islam, Jewish, christian???? eom

[IDemo]

2. You have to think at least a few ditto-heads are turned off by this idiocy

As to whether it makes any of them question the other 99.998% of the gibberish he spouts is another thing.

[thunder rising]

3. The missed point was that Europe can generally rely on their rail system for travel.

Airports shutting down and trains taking on the added people clipped the capacity.
Rush shouldn't have said that.

[rfranklin]

4. I think he's channeling Pat Robertson...

What gibberish!

[graywarrior]

5. His freedom of speech tramples our inalienable rights to the pursuit of happiness

[gblady]

16. good one....

:rofl:

[90-percent]

6. Rush

Rush and Beck and Hannity are God's punishment for being ignorant.

-90% jimmy

[Lyric]

7. I don't care if it's morally wrong of me to do so.

I pray every single day that Limbaugh drops dead of one too many doughnut-Oxycontin cocktails. That man is Goebbels reincarnated, and is nothing short of evil.

[Morning Dew]

8. I think God is generally too busy

fixing sports scores to do the divine punishment routine.

It was opening week for baseball and now we have the NBA playoffs.

[pipi_k]

13. He's also heavily into

NASCAR racing.

I'm in one of those Yahoo fantasy racing leagues for fun, and let me tell you...God must be really pissed off at me for something I did 35 years ago. My team mates are kicking my ass in the standings right now.

I'm sure God is behind it all.

[KittyWampus]

9. I hate to think what God's punishment will be for Limbaugh

11. A Daily Pineapple up his Ass - Sideways

15. Oooh...that could sting a little...

especially with the leaves still on top

12. Did it cancels flights to Costa Rica?

because Rush promised he would move to Costa Rica if the bill passed

[dkhbrit]

14. So,

This is happening in Europe Rush, not the USA.

Nice logic there Rush. What a twat.

[carlyhippy]

17. Good God on a Segway! Has Rush lost his mind?! nt

C

[area51]

18. Uh-huh.

So if Rusty Limpdick is right, then God chose to punish Europe for this, and not us? :crazy: :wtf:

[Ikonoklast]

19. Show me a pic of you in a church praying, Pill Boy.

Your god all has dead presidents printed on it.


Yet the sheep listen to this...person.


Amazing to me, just truly baffling.

[Strelnikov_]

20. Considering that most life on earth owes its existence

to the fertility provided by volcanic ash fall, maybe the Cloud Being is actually blessing us.

Then again, there could be no connection whatsoever . . .

On edit: And why he is dropping it on countries with single payer health care is confusing. Maybe we were supposed to offer single payer to the Cloud Being?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

21. I keep wondering what Limbaugh is punishment for

Humanity has done some depraved things during its existence but we must have done something really awful to warrant having Limbaugh imposed on us

[deutsey]

22. Using that "logic", let's say that 9/11 was God's punishment for Bush stealing the 2000 election

:eyes:

[Stevenmarc]

24. Rush is talking to God again, time for him to pee in a cup.

[spanone]

25. obviously not smarter than a fifth grader

26. Proof That Oxycontin Does Permanent Brain Damage

Drug slows breathing

The drug slows down breathing (respiratory depression) and breathing might slow down to 12-20 times per minute, and that slow-down is a warning sign. If breathing gets below 10 times per minute, the person is in jeopardy of having low oxygen levels, which lead to permanent brain damage, or worse.http://www.drug-addiction-support.org/OxyContin-Drug-Addiction.html

27. How's that pesky cardiac condition Rush?

If there was really any type of punisher deity, I would think you'd keep looking over your shoulder for lightning bolts and heart attacks. Of course, you have health care. Still you continue to torture the temple of your body by residing in it. If there was any real fire and brimstone justice there would be somebody up there, or more likely somebody down there, waiting for you to leave they poor thing alone.

[ladywnch]

28. yeah, punishing Europe for America's health care bill..... that'll show us! LMAO n/t

29. God's Retribution

Hi Christa

Some very interesting things you write, enjoying reading through your journals. I somehow think that if God wanted to punish anyone for the Healthcare Bill then he would have made Yellowstone National Park errupt. :)
