Piece of shit Rush Limbaugh encouraging listeners to screw the Earth Hour project

[EnviroBat]

Just heard him on his garbage show telling listeners to turn on every light in the house and go out for a drive on Saturday evening. Is this fucking guy for real? You may ask why I listen to his "show". Well, it's because I interested to see just how far a person can sink in to complete irrelevance, and still pretend like they are important. It's an interesting experiment in psychology to examine the depths of ones delusion. It takes a strong stomach...

1. Rush is just insignificant.

He can go to hell for all I care.

2. I didn't know about Earth Hour, now I do, thanks Rush!

[EnviroBat]

11. That's Awesome!

:rofl:

[nxylas]

3. Trouble is, it allows the backwash to crow "20 million listeners"

When 10 million of those are probably masochistic DUers.

[SecularMotion]

12. "20 Million Listeners" is a lie

Please dispute this figure when you see it used. The figure comes from the number of listeners per WEEK and is from 2003 at his peak. His current numbers are around 14 million per WEEK.

Limbaugh is on daily and his listeners tune in everyday. Divide 20 or 14 million per week by 5 days for his actual number of listeners. He only has 3-4 million listeners.

26. Use this ...

[Hubert Flottz]

29. That's 14.75 million people out of a population of about

three hundred million...5% is even less popular than Dick Cheney.

[SecularMotion]

33. Thanks for the graphic Tahiti but it still distorts the number of listeners

It gives the number of listeners per WEEK for DAILY radio shows. Divide all those figures by 5 for the actual number of listeners.

4. what a POS Limbaugh is.

Earth Hour is whole world initiative.

[tridim]

5. Rush hates the Earth.

And he also hates himself.

[vinylsolution]

6. A dying slob's last desperate gasps....

Vain, bloated, irrelevant and pathetic.

You're over, Rush.

[Peacetrain]

7. What a waste of skin Limbaugh is..

[SidDithers]

8. Rush thinks saving energy is bad?...

What is he, some sort of idiot? Oh...wait.

Nevermind.

9. Nice... thanks for posting the link.

This is a project that could really provide some solid scientific data regarding energy use. I could open people eye's. Not surprising a complete douche-nozzle like Limbaugh wants to undermine it.

[SidDithers]

15. I've had it as my sig for the last 2 weeks or so...

and will probably do a post tomorrow reminding everyone about Saturday night.

The City of Toronto, and surrounding area, get into Earth Hour in a pretty big way. :hi:

20. I find that really ironic, the time of earth hour

it just so happens that I was born on March 28th at 8:27 p.m.

[beac]

27. Let me be the first to wish you "Happy b-EARTH-day!"

:toast:

[hfojvt]

34. I like that. b-EARTH day

now if only I wasn't so tanjed old :argh:

[beac]

35. Compared to the Earth, you're a mere baby!

And that's even if you use the Jesus-rode-a-dinosaur earth-age in your calculations! :)

[Deja Q]

10. To him, it's not about the Earth or the fact he weighs as much as the Earth...

He thinks everybody will be boycotting the power company.

:eyes:

[hughee99]

13. Since the goal of this is not to actually accomplish anything

but rather to "raise awareness" isn't any controversy and publicity good?

[prolesunited]

14. So, he's encouraging listeners to just throw away money?

These people are just so irrational and childish.

[Butch350]

16. Hey Rush is it ok...

...if I drive by your house Saturday evening and dump my garbage on your lawn. I won't take the time seperate the plastic from
the cardboard, nor the cat shit from her litter box.

[The2ndWheel]

17. Come on, Earth Hour is a bit ridiculous

Maybe if it was an every day of the week thing, all year, when people were at home, or at work, then there might be something to it. Instead, it's one random day. That day just happens to be a Saturday. Just as spring is starting in the US. At 8pm. It would be difficult to find a less effective day and time. It's probably even too stupid to protest it, because of its ineffectiveness.

[dem629]

32. Yep. Plus two of the NCAA Final 8 games will be going on. ;)

Not to mention the fact that it's good very few people will actually go along with this charade. I'm just glad that's the case so they don't end up crashing the electrical grid when everybody powers back up. ;)

[tularetom]

18. He's urging all his listeners to waste money

At a time when many of them are out of work, in danger of losing their health care and homes, and not knowing where their next buck is coming from.

And a lot of them are gonna do it.

Infuckingcredible.

[madrchsod]

19. i`m supposed to spend more on electricity cause rush says so?

who in the hell would do that...oh his "ditto heads" will...

[RebelOne]

21. I'll have no problem with turning off my lights at 8:30.

I'm in bed every night at 8:30 because I have to be up by 4:30.

[kimmylavin]

22. I like Earth Hour.

We did it last year, and it was really nice.
Got a candle, ate sandwiches for dinner, just talked.

We actually did it a few other nights, just for fun. :)

[GoCubsGo]

23. I think I'll take a walk around the neighborhood then...

Just to see which neighbors I will be avoiding every chance I get.

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. How does mindless, wasteful consumption help anyone?

I just costs the idiots who play along a few more dollars that they will have nothing to show for.

I guess it does help one group - The Saudi's and the rest of OPEC get to collect some extra coins.

[beac]

28. Once again, Rush's troglodytic masses will act against their own interests to

please their drug-addled puppet-master. Fools.

[Hubert Flottz]

25. That boil has eaten all the way trough his tiny brain.

I hate when that happens!

[Contrary1]

30. His listeners won't do it...

They like to talk the talk, but when it comes down to something that costs them personally, they are no-shows.
Lots will claim they did though, just to show how patriotic they are. :patriot:
