He basically said the media is creating undue panic and exaggerating hurricane Irma.
quote:

Rush Limbaugh didn't say the magic words, but on Tuesday he basically accused the media of creating fake news about Hurricane Irma, which is threatening Florida after hitting Barbuda and Antigua. The storm's 185-mile-per-hour winds tied the record high for any Atlantic hurricane making landfall.


"These storms, once they actually hit, are never as strong as they're reported," Limbaugh claimed on his syndicated radio show. He added that "the graphics have been created to make it look like the ocean's having an exorcism, just getting rid of the devil here in the form of this hurricane, this bright red stuff."


quote:

"May as well go ahead and announce this," he said. "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. ... We'll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown. So we'll be back on Monday. It's just that tomorrow is going to be problematic. Tomorrow it would be, I think, legally impossible for us to originate the program out of here." Limbaugh presented his evacuation as more of an inconvenience than a proper response to imminent danger.

quote:

Limbaugh presented his evacuation as more of an inconvenience than a proper response to imminent danger. "You know, I had to cancel a bunch of stuff," he said. "I was going to go to a private movie screening this afternoon, and I had a bunch of stuff to do tonight, and now that's all brown to smithereens."

He didn't say anything of the sort. He said it was fear mongering. The Facebook hags have been repeating the same lie

He said this:

I guess they did not fear monger enough in Texas now did they? Had a liberal newscaster said anything remotely similar this board would be up in arms and melting.

I realize that people don't like to hear the truth here when it does not fit with their narrative. That's OK. I expect comments like yours.

Tha s not stating it's a hoax.

His statement was in regards to people capitalizing on these events and his belief it may not cause much damage as predicted

Limbaugh is an actor but this isn't remotely close to calling the hurricane a hoax

I was coming here to see if anything about this was posted. Some of my liberal friends are posting about it on Facebook like Rush was saying the hurricane wasn't real. And it's like the ultimate gotcha because now he's running.

As usual, they post half the story and act like it's proof of something.

There you go. I changed the title to even fit your words. Rush still looks like an idiot.

Im guessing tangerine and the Facebook hags are linked to Think Progress or Occupy Democrats, two well known fake sites

It's proof that Rush is an blowhard idiot, especially on the tail end of what happened in Texas. But he does play to his base pretty well. I have to give him that

That's funny you use the words fake news. Because that is basically what Rush is propagating.

It's like you have no self respect when posting the above.

It ain't my fault you act like a clown.

That's a you problem.

You are right. Rush never uttered the words at all.
