doesn't it seem ironic that limbaugh attacked dems for "politicizing the CA wildfire issue"?

Question

by politicizing the issue himself? not to mention all the conservatives on here who have been posting the question over and over ever since limbaugh said it. seems a little hypocritical, doesn't it? blaming someone for politicizing an issue, and then politicizing that issue yourself

no, ruth, i never said it was wrong to talk about what might have caused the fire. no, what i said was hypocritical was that the conservatives said it was wrong, but they did it anyways. i never said anything was wrong.

seriously people, do i need to spell out everything for you? i thought about adding that little tid bit above in there for you, but i figured you were smart enough to figure it out on your own. guess not.

Answer 2

So if I testify that someone murdered another individual, am I a murder as well? If I criticize Mussolini for being a fascist am I a fascist as well? No and no.

Gotta love liberal logic. Calling somebody out is not being a hypocrite. Rush Limbaugh was criticizing Harry Reid, and others, for politicizing the wild fires. That act is not politicizing the wild fires. Liberals have truly lost any and all reasoning, logic and comprehension abilities if they truly believe that criticizing someone for committing a certain action is the same as you yourself committing that action

Mark T: You have completely missed the topic. You're criticizing Rush Limbaugh for something he did not do. Harry Reid blamed the fires on Global Warming. The Lt. Governor of California blamed the fires on Iraq. Nobody on the GOP side of this said anything about them deserving it. You're either going along with the hysteria by repeating what some liberal told you or you're making up your own reality.

/EDIT: And the liberal thought police are already out. A thumbs down on pure, unadulterated truth that nobody can legitimately argue with.

Answer 3

Limbaugh politicizes everything. This is old tactic in politics. Think back to those old AT&T commercials during the days of the long distance wars. The person would tell callers to say, "it's just not worth." Giving the mindless drones something to say so they won't have think (or feeling guilty about slashing the forestry department's budget), is what the con machine does best.

Answer 4

I'll admit that yes both he and Hannity did that same thing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a conservative and enjoy listening to both most days but today, especially Hannity, they certainly spent a lot of time riding the dems for politicizing the fire. And what the Dems did was completely wrong and they looked like complete and utter fools. The big winner today was Arnold, the Govenator.

Answer 5

I'm sorry how is a Santa Ana megafire a political point. I'm sure we'll get some pearl of wisdom from Rush or some other genius from the GOP suggesting the victims deserved it for voting for their Democratic representatives or that they had it coming or whatever seems appropriate.

Whatever it won't be , it won't be a result of climate change, it won't be because the forestry service was defunded every year for the last 8, and it won't be because FEMA was rolled into a terrorist reaction team over at DHS.

If it wasn't for Arhnold, you'd be sure as all heck looking at Katrina 2.0 folks.

Answer 6

Liberal dems like Reid blame fires on global warming. Other libs blame Iraq war as to why current wildfire is still burning. Sounds like politicizing a tragedy to me. Why am I not surprised.

Answer 7

How did Rush politicize it? From what I heard, it was the psycho-liberals blaming it on everything from global warming to the Iraq war, all of which point neatly back at President Bush. You know something's a fraud when it's always portrayed as the fault of one man, regardless of which venue one uses to prove it.

Answer 8

Yes it is ironic...

You are making a common mistake.. looking for some level of rational and balance in anything Limbaugh says or does.

Answer 9

All day long I've been reading disrespectful comments attacking the victims of this disaster from the right. I've seen no politicization from the left.

Answer 10

I've seen such conduct from both sides of the aisle -- people making political games out of the tragedy.

Fires are not political -- neither are half a million people displaced from their homes, or thousands who have lost their homes and businesses.

Anyone who tries to use a political tragedy to score cheap political points -- and I've seen both Democrats and Republicans do it -- should be ashamed of themselves.
