Rush Limbaugh: ‘The Media Wants A Disaster In Japan’

audio
» 116 comments

Rush Limbaugh wants you to know the real story from Japan is nowhere near as bad as “the media” has made it out to be. Why would they exaggerate the magnitude of the story, you ask? Because, Rush said today on his radio program, “the media wants a disaster in Japan.”

“These people are looking for disaster,” Limbaugh said. “They want disaster upon disaster. They want the nuclear meltdown. They want the Japanese syndrome, if you will. They want this stuff.”

If you look at media coverage of the earthquake, tsunami and the treat of a nuclear incident, he argues, “this is just the wanton spreading of fear.”

Limbaugh says the nuclear reactors in Japan are largely “behaving as designed,” and there is no widespread disaster.

    Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck need to drop the facade and just get married to each other. They have no personal or journalistic integrity and are simply 2 birds of the same twisted feather. They would make one very cute couple.

    This would be funny if it weren’t pathetic. Rush has made a career turning molehills into mountains.
    He’s just jealous he can’t control this story.
    Or make it about him.
    Or blame Obama.
    Oh, well! back to the Oxy.

    Rush Limbaugh is 100% right. If you liberals got your way we’d all be living in caves, riding bicycles to work and crapping in the fields like a bunch of animals.

    Besides, Japan was smart in having all those nuclear power plants, unlike America, they have neither coal nor oil, so they need to get their electricity from somewhere and it’s obvious that neither solar-panels nor win can deliver what nuclear power can. As for safety? Please, you’re more likely to die in a car accident than by the rare radiation leak.

    The same way they lied about the Gulf oil leak. Remember it was going to kill the gulf. It was going put oil on shore all up and down the East Coast. It will take ten years before we can clean the beaches in the Coastal states. Most of the coast never got any oil. The lies ruined their business. People still aren’t going there even though most beaches are clean.

    As far as I can see no one knows for sure exactly what is going on but the left is already calling for a moratorium on nuclear power plants. Why wait until the facts are in and have been studies. At Bell Labs we used to have a cartoon in some of the labs. A guy is walking out the door and people are infront of terminals (it was the old days). The caption is, “You guys start coding and I’ll go find out what they want!”

  • Davo

    The uproar is from the anti-American Liberals who hate Rush because he’s usually eventually proven right. So far, it looks like the nuclear disaster isn’t as bad as first thought…………………making Rush right, AGAIN!

    Whaaaat? It has nothing to do with skin color, race or any of those things that are so prevalent in your conscious. Rush’s point was about nuclear power and how the media/left are making a bigger deal of the nuclear power plant problems than is warranted, specifically so that source of power can be further demonized.

    You libs really needs to grow up and realize people are people regardless of skin color. We’re all just dumb, hairless apes on this spec of sand called planet earth.

    Hey Blue Bonnett, if you didn’t hate Rush so much, you would realize he’s right. The media is reporting worst case scenario’s like that is what’s happening, when in reality, it appears the nuclear reactors are doing what they were designed to do in case of such a disaster. Why are they doing this, you ask? Well because they HATE nuclear power. If only everything ran on wind mills, Japan would be doing great right now! LIberal idiots! Never let a crisis go to waste!

    I don’t approve of wishing ill on anyone, but limbaugh has said some pretty vile things over the years. He made fun of Michael J. Fox and his Parkinsons’ disease. He recently suggested that the children of poor people eat out of trash cans. Shortly after Obama took office, at some speech he gave, an elderly black woman asked for a home or a car. I know Obama can’t give her such things, but limbaugh made fun of that elderly woman. He has no empathy for people in dire circumstances.

    Speaking of skin color (from another comment), limbaugh often makes comments about skin color. Last year, he said that the Haiti earthquake enabled Obama’s credibility with the “light-skinned and the black-skinned black community.” So there is something to limbaugh making comments about race.

    Based on what limbaugh said in this situation, you can also say that limbaugh wants disasters and catastrophes to happen often. The reason? Because he wants to bash liberals, the media, and anyone he considers to be his enemy by making statements such as these ridiculous ones he made in this article.

    I just have to respond again. Your response begs the question, why did limbaugh make the claim that the media wants this disaster? I don’t care if people do use it to ask questions about building new nuclear plants. They should. But people do not want disasters to happen. limbaugh is a hatemonger when he makes statements like this, and, he’s a hypocrite because I have to say, again, that limbaugh is the one who wants disasters to happen.

    I live 100 miles away from the Callaway nuclear plant in Fulton, MO. It is over 25 years old. That plant is about 200 miles away from the New Madrid fault. The last “big one” from that fault was well over 200 years ago, and it is overdue for another “big one.” The last “big one” changed the course of the Mississippi River, and it rang church bells in Boston. Damage would be extensive if another huge earthquake struck on the New Madrid fault, and no telling what might happen to that nuclear plant. No one can predict something like that.

  • redleaf

    Has it ever occurred to anyone that Rush is paid to say controversial things that get him press coverage. The difference is: Conservatives defend whatever idiocy spills out of his pie-hole while the rest of us roll our eyes and wonder how he’s been able to brainwash so many people into taking his verbal swill seriously. Not only do they take it seriously, but Rush’s opinions literally become their own.
    They don’t call Rush fans Dittoheads for nothing.

  • goldmind

    I’m no fan of Limby…but he is absolutely correcto on media involvement in this calamity. And he should know…he’s a media HO himself, and knows urgency when it comes to those ratings. How repulsive to see the skank, Diane Sawyer, with her halo of pretense, and the weasel Anderson Cooper sweating a radiation attack.
    All of them, acting like saviors, when in their hearts they love every second of every tragedy that puts them in the slimelight. Kudos, for the the Japanese and the dignity they are showing through a devastating time. Here in America…you can bet when our number is up…apathy and mayhem will be widespread.

    You know something. Anyone that would make levity or joke or even make a phony statement about such a tragedy whether they mean it or not is one sick S.O. B. And although I agree and disagree with all of you on any issues I don’t think anyone on ths forum, conservative, liberal or whatever would ever stoop that low.

    Rush and Beck are Geniuses. not in the political sense, but in their trade which is media. They both started out as Djs and honed their skills to the point that they know exactly what to say and how to say it, in order to attract the small minded and intellectuality starved. Kind of like when they played Bobby Sherman or Shaun Cassidy records to 14 year olds in their early days…

    You’re absolutely right. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking good about him or talking bad about him. As long as your talking about him. And Mediaite falls for it all the time. I’m amazed also that his dittoheads actually think he’s for real. That’s the scary part.

    don’t be amazed, we prefer it that way. Us dittoheads (I mean the adults in the room) are far more amused than you give us credit for. But again, the preferred outcome.

    Don’t forget to thank your hero for “Operation Chaos”. MoveOn.org and the rest of the progessives will be applying that so Michelle Bachmann becomes the GOP Presidential nominee. In fact I’ll even say Thank you Rush.

    Limbaugh is saying what his pimps want him to say before they go after the EPA. Rush is the original Koch Whore. They want to deregulate, pollute the water, pollute the air, rape the land, pay no taxes and create a 3rd world nation. So far, they’re getting it.

    Rush has never been right about anything. I love how you support a drug addict, drug dealing and forger as your Messiah. All Credibility shot. Great famiily man too. 3x divorcee loser. Pity his current wife – daymn. Honey if you hate yourself that much – end it all (but take Rush with you – thanks).

    Ah, the media card (ginning up a disaster, wanting a nuclear catastrophe….) has been played (once again). that was so unexpected by limpbaugh. This is one of the absolutely most absurd things I have ever heard coming from that moron.

    He has so many – it’s really hard to say. I don’t listen to him, but remain constant in my belief, he will be a lap dog of Satan, with Jerry Falwell. No need to listen to the human feces that is Limbaugh. His path is set, it’s just fun to make fun of those that worship him here. How stupid can the right-wing nuzis be – Look at them! LOL.

    Do you know how stupid you have to be to consider Rush and Beck “geniuses”? Oh, you don’t. Look in the mirror and think about it. The only people that could consider them “geniuses” are the moronic, Jesus Camp and Fox viewing trolls whom lack the abilitity of independent thought and analysis and whom deny education, intellect and science as “negatives”. Sorry, educated America and even the walking future massive and hopefully painful heart attack knows, it’s a con. Celebrate your stupidity. Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Murdoch and the entire Fokkks crew – make their living misleading the weak minded, blind faith and Pat Robertson brood into paying them, so you will do their bidding. You’re an embarrassment to an intelligent God. Don’t hold your breath morons. God has sheep. He doesn’t need moronic sheep.

    Can we stop pretending that Rush contributes anything productive to political discourse? How does his death not help in the implementation of better public policy? And how is better public policy not more beneficial to society as a whole that one fat guy with a radio show? Just because you “agree” (quotations because sheep don’t really have opinions of their own) with him doesn’t mean he makes America better. And, in fact, he makes it far worse, so wishing for his (natural) death is the patriotic thing to do.

    For those that give thumbs down, I must ask, why do you hate America so much as to wish for less than optimal public policy outcomes ?

    I hardly ever listen to the puke, but every time I do, he’s yelling and screaming and ranting about something. He is human excrement.

    People like him and Beck are addicts. Limbaugh….oxycontin. Beck….alcohol and drugs. Often, addicts of substances are also addicts elsewhere in their lives. These two are addicted to fame and greed; they are addicted to saying ever more radical and controversial things in order to keep their audiences.

    So by that “logic” if I wish for you to die than I am a patriot?
    Ok, Than for the sake of America I wish for you to die a “natural” death. Don’t be mad your just a drone, The death of one drone mean’s nothing, Like when the chinese army send wave after wave against our troops in the korean war, sacrificing thousands of drones, Just running in to endless gunfire for the brave Gen. Mao, Dieing for the greater good. And I know how your kind belive in the greater good.

    But anyways, I think we can both agree that Michael Moore will die a natural death before Limbaugh, That mofo is hugh!

  • Jim The American

    I’ve been a Rush listener for 20 years, but I’m getting ready to turn him off for good.
    I used to think he was entertaining and often made good points, particularly when it came to political correctness and the cultural wars. He would cover interesting things that didn’t make headlines elsewhere and he was great at using humor to tweak the lefties.
    But he’s changed. Now he’s just another meanspirited crank telling other meanspirited cranks what they want to hear, regardless of the truth. He’s become lazy and he either twists facts or makes them up to suit his agenda.
    Today he suggested a Reuters reporter who wrote a perfectly factual story about the day’s events in Japan was somehow sad becase the “liberal media” wants a meltdown and lots of deaths to futher its agenda.
    It’s like the man said to Joe McCarthy back in ’54: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

    This has to be the most sickening comment coming from Limbaugh yet!! The media is exaggerating this disaster?? Is he freaking serious, is he not seeing what the rest of the word is seeing? 30 foot waves coming ashore 6 miles inland 20 minutes after the quake with 16,000 missing in one town, 10,000 missing from another town with a population of 17,000 and that is just a few. As far as the nuclear disaster, it’s now worse than 3 mile island and rated a 6 out of 7 in radiation leaks and its not even over yet with the radiation entering our atmosphere. Is not Fox news reporting the same facts as everyone else on the Japan disaster? Calling the so called liberal media as fear mongering is laughable coming from the king of fear mongering. Does Limbaugh have a freaking conscience? It’s debatable to even call him human.

  • Steve_27

    Ok ok slow down drama queen! The whole first part of your post here is uncalled for cause he’s only referring to the nuclear aspect, not the quake and tsunami itself. And i’m not seeing anything here about the “liberal” media, he’s just saying media in general, that would include Fox. He would be quick to point out that he dont work for Fox, so your hyperventilating over your concern for what Fox is reporting is very irrelevant.

    Slow down, take a chill pill.

    Is everything in your life taken so literally as to place liberal blinders on your peripheral vision. He implied very clearly that the media (fox included) was exaggerating the nuclear catastrophe at the expense of the real tragedy. He in no way minimized the effects of the quake/tsunami disaster. Please, take off the blinders and accept the fact that Rush has more devout fans than the libs have in their entire camp.
