Let's ignore the Rush Limbaughs of the world. By George Cook Letstalkhonestly.com
Let's stop giving hate mongers like Rush Limbaugh's and Pat Robertson the one thing they crave. Attention!
This past week both Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh made hateful comments concerning the earthquake in Haiti. Comments that wont be reprinted here because of their despicable nature.
It's time that the media and especially bloggers turn a deaf ear toward the hateful speech of people like Rush Limbaugh. He thrives on not only the hate that he spews but the firestorm it creates. He loves when bloggers jump on his comments and reprint them for millions more to see, watch, or read.
We have to realize that in our anger when we repost his comments we are only further spreading them to the masses. Sad as it may be every time he says something hateful and it's blown up online his audience actually grows not decreases.
Some of this may just be curious people trying to see if this type of hate is actually on the radio but then there are others who love the message and have found a messenger they were only vaguely familiar with.
Rush Limbaugh is a hate monger and it's time to just ignore him. He accused President Obama of using the earthquake to build bridges to the black community while never saying that he was using it to build his ratings and bring publicity to himself.
Let's al pretend he doesn't exist when he spews his hate. Let's let him be in that dark part of the world he chooses to dwell in alone. Let's focus on the positive out thee and the people who are really trying to change the United States and the world for the better.
George, well said, but I don't think they will go away if we ignore them. Pat Robertson is not a Christian, no way no how. He needs to be stood up to as the Devil he is.

They won't go away if you ignore them it's because they were ignored in the beginning is why they have grown to this stage. Rush and Pat should have been labeled hate mongers and racists as soon as they appeared. You don't kill a flea with a bat but you don't ignore him either and now that the flea is a giantic flea you can't ignore him. You must however practice a little of both ignoring him and still try to kill him. Lol.

You can't really ignore the Rush Limbaughs and Pat Robertsons and Glenn Becks of the world. Turning off the radio or television set and not watching CNN, MSNBC, and FOX NEWS CHANNEL is not going to SOLVE A DAMN THANG. With or without us ratings are still going to be the same! The impeachment act should be enforced upon these racist cowards. Some questions to the people who do not boycott: “How can you look at yourself in the mirror?” “How can you sleep at night?”
We came to far and accomplished so………DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!!!!!!!! We must stay ahead of the game when it comes to standing up for ourselves. As for other people, it is very easy to plot and plan when you’re not looking or paying attention! It’s time to wake up! I read some comments on the internet written by other people asking how in the hell can African Americans sit back and put up with this racism coming from these folks!
I couldn’t figure it out either. This is the trick brothers and sisters: If you don’t say anything, and if you don’t complain, they will keep on conducting their BS. Sometimes people do things just to see if they could get away with it. The way I see it, people do things that you ALLOW them to do. While Barack Obama is trying to bring people of all races as one, these folk on TV and radio trying to tear people apart!
