Most people in the path of a hurricane would appreciate being warned
but, according the buffoon/windbag/rightwingnut favorite, Rush Limbaugh, it's all part of a Liberal Plot, to sell batteries and bottled water.
File it under:
How stupid do you have to be, to listen to, and believe this a-hole, as he denies climate change, that 97% of climatologists agree on. Typical Repub bullshit/science denial.
As Hurricane Irma neared the Caribbean with winds of up to 185 mph, Limbaugh said:
“Here comes a hurricane, local media goes on the air, ‘Big hurricane coming, oh, my God! Make sure you got batteries. Make sure you got water. It could be the worst ever. Have you seen the size of this baby? It’s already a Cat 5. Oh, my God, oh, my God, it’s bigger than the island of Haiti. Oh, my God.’ People run to the stores, they stock up everything, and they hoard. And they end up with vacant stores, nothing there. And it’s a big success. TV stations got eyeballs, the advertising businesses have sold out of business, gotta restock and the cycle repeats.”
"Hurricane Harvey and the TV pictures that accompany that go a long way to helping further and create the panic,” Limbaugh said.
After spending the entire segment politicizing storm preparations and coverage, Limbaugh lamented how political everything has become.
