After Telling Listeners Irma is a Hoax, Limbaugh Bugs Out of South Florida

After telling listeners Irma was a liberal hoax, Limbaugh quietly evacuates South Florida http://goo.gl/c9AKDk

Rush Limbaugh will be evacuating South Florida, just days after the popular conservative radio host claimed that Hurricane Irma would not hit the United States and that scientists and the liberal media were hyping up the hurricane as proof of their global warming “lie.”

“So there is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it. You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don’t need a hurricane to hit anywhere,” Limbaugh said on his show Tuesday. “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 more dangerous, and you create the panic, and it’s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.”

But on the show Thursday, Limbaugh said he would be off the air for the next few days.

“May as well… announce this. I’m not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow,” Limbaugh said Thursday. “We’ll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown.”

Now he's pretending some "security" issues are the only reason he's not staying through the Cat 5 hurricane to do his show. It's all beyond his control because of the security guys, you see...

And it's a water bottle conspiracy. This is all happening to get folks to buy more water bottles.
