Life comes at you fast, love how he's pretending he's being "forced"

Lol, what a douche.

man, the liberal media is forcing him to evacuate now? why won't they just leave the man alone!

How many listeners opted not to evacuate based on his "advice"?
---

Shit, even if they were possibly overhyping it do you really want to take that chance?

Either be mad at the news for wasting your weekend and money on hotels or be dead.
---

Just think, this toxic fuck gets paid millions so that people can hear his opinions on everything.

what a clown.

"I don't take advice from Liberals unless it's about the weather!"

This is what happens when people listen to ignorant dipshits with a megaphone instead of using their own brain to think critically.

A category 4 hurricane is nothing to fuck around with. It's not just the constant rain, it's the wind that will rip the roof off of structures and the storm surge. Harvey fucked my county up and we just got the rain.

I almost think criminal charges should be brought against broadcasters who downplay catastrophes like this to an audience that could easily die because of it.

did that say it was because of Limbaugh's advice or was it just a random dude?

Huh. Like not that I closely follow all conservative media but I hadn't seen anyone claiming it was being overhyped, lol. Rush is one of a kind. >_>

At my old job I'd listen to some talk radio just because it was a crappy radio and could only get one station, lol. Sometimes Rush was better than silence and could be a tad amusing, but usually just came off as such a pompous jerk. Glenn Beck at least, like a large portion of his show was just screwing around and joking good naturedly with his other... host guys... and wasn't all in your face political.

Lol
---

“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,”

Lol, "may as well".

Like it's an afterthought almost.

Rush is despicable.

Sad we come to the destruction of hurricanes are now a lib vs cons issue....

You know it's possible for the media to overhype hurricanes and still there comes hurricanes that are actually worth the hype?

opiate addict piece of shit Rush Limbaugh
---

Sort of a win win situation for Rush.
If they survive, it reinforces their "faith" in his leadership and message, creating a more powerful base and if they die, he can get a half chub to the thought of it because he's a sadist piece of shit human being.

Agreed. I know one who's not leaving too even though I've done everything I can to express the gravity of the situation.

Even the White House statement a few hours ago about "you'll be on your own at some point" got nothing.

Said they're gonna pray... yea..

Same. I'm not even in Florida so I can't talk but I talked with them on the phone for an hour today and it ended with, "we'll be fine"...

Im with you. The way they're talking about it is really alarming.

When what you claim was a conspiracy is about to kill you

How many people here actually listened to what he said? He said the liberals were going to use the hurricane to hype the global warming lie. He didnt say the hurricane wasn't happening.

Found the transcript, rather than a handful of quotes.

The point is, we still don't know where it's gonna go. The Sunday impact in south Florida is to be Sunday, so that's six days, five days. They still can't tell us. And not that they should be able to. I mean, these things, there's too many variables, atmospheric conditions, sea surface temperatures, and unknown. There's just no way to predict where these storms are gonna go until probably the day before.

Not much of a story tbqh. They should do better research instead of twisting words.

There's nothing logical or competent about using your position to reach out to a large audience and try to cast doubt on the path or destruction of a hurricane and the necessity of emergency precautions while fleeing from the path of it yourself.

Recommending people wait until the day of to evacuate sounds completely asinine to me.
