Limbaugh's dismissal of Irma 'panic' riles forecasters

NEW YORK — Rush Limbaugh has created a storm of his own by suggesting that the "panic" caused by Hurricane Irma benefits retailers, the media and politicians seeking action on climate change.

The conservative radio personality's swerve into meteorology had Al Roker, the "Today" show weatherman, saying Wednesday that Limbaugh was putting people's lives at risk.

Limbaugh's lengthy soliloquy on his radio show the day before was apparently set off by seeing a rush on supplies of bottled water in south Florida, where he lives. The powerful Hurricane Irma is still in the Atlantic Ocean, but forecasters warn it could affect Florida by the weekend.

"There is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it," Limbaugh said. "You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don't need a hurricane to hit anywhere. All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and dangerous."

This prick is a disgrace to human existence. The stone he takes a dirt bath the better. Sorry, but he has destroyed so much that it is not even funny.

maybe literally, due to the mythical "storm surge" coming in from this liberal hoax storm.
or, figuratively, due to people suing him for the damage he causes on a daily basis.
or both.

If all of his listeners in the path of Irma heed his advice, Limbaugh can take a certain amount of pride for thinning the herd and culling out the intellectual seconds and weeding out the genetic riffraff from the better equipped specimens of Republican machismo... such as himself.
