Haiti is also the topic of tonight's first quick comment. At a time of great humanity and great

generosity in this country and all other countries towards people in need, our great national shame

is again underlined. The small percentage of us who will not only turn anything, even this into

an excuse and a conduit for hatred and racial prejudice, but who arrogantly believe they have an

entitlement to this hatred and its expression, people who are led by Rush Limbaugh. After yesterday

having projected his own hatred of minorities into the sad and somber equation of Haiti, Limbaugh

today discouraged Americans from contributing to Haitian earthquake relief. When a listener

noted that donations could be made to the Red Cross via the White House website, Limbaugh

asked, would you trust that the money is going to go to Haiti? Would you trust that your name is

going to end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations

for him and other causes? Limbaugh then completed the expression of his subhumanity. Besides,

we've already donated to Haiti, it's called the U.S. income tax. The conservative website Red

State has a front page link for Haitian relief donations via the Salvation Army. Besides national

review and town hall and Fox News have front page links for Haitian relief donations via the

World View Organization. Sean Hannity.com has a front page link to Haitian relief donations via

the Red Cross. Rush Limbaugh.com has a front page link to a company that sells gold coins.
