Rush Limbaugh Claims Hurricane Is an Obama Conspiracy to Cancel GOP Convention
A few days ago, John Boehner claimed that President Obama was responsible for the drought that has affected over half the country. As funny (and pathetic) as that is, when it comes to blind, hateful craziness no one can top Rush Limbaugh. Now, apparently, President Obama has the power to make a hurricane change direction at the snap of his fingers.
The Right Wing loves to trot out the four year old big lie that anyone considers the President a "messiah". But if he can make the rains disappear and change the course of hurricanes, maybe they're on to something after all.

Rush Limbaugh Claims Hurricane Is an Obama Conspiracy to Cancel GOP Convention
According to Limbaugh, Obama is so worried about Mitt Romney that he had the National Hurricane Center change the path of the storm, and the president intends to send FEMA into Tampa to make the Republican convention look like a disaster area.
One could argue that the Republican convention is going to be a disaster, no matter what the hurricane does, but that wouldn’t stop Rush Limbaugh from cooking up an Obama related weather conspiracy theory.
If the Republican Party wanted to avoid any potential weather problems, they could have made the decision not to hold their convention in South Florida at the peak of hurricane season. Seriously, who in the Republican Party thought it would be a great idea to hold their convention in South Florida in late August?

,"RIDICULOUS"!
Is he on the oxycodone again?
He DOES have a sense of humor - (not larger than his sense of indecency tho - too bad)
I fell out of my chair laughing!
Yeah... that set was pretty funny... but PP, you left out the part where he said the GOP will have a "War on Women" segment in honor of the Democrat Party… that’s where they will bring out Kathleen Willy, Juanita Broadrich, Paula Jones and all of the other women that fell victim to in the DNC's Keynote Speaker and his "Bimbo Eruptions"...
As an Accused RAPIST, the Dems have chosen the impeached guy that left a long trail of women laying in the gutter where his only kind words were to "put some ice on that" nosebleed where he punched Juanita Broadrich in the face after raping her. Of course losing his law license and prosecuted for lying under oath are all prime qualifications to be the Keynote Speaker of a democrat convention... all the while the same folks are taking some radio talk show guy's levity as gospel.
Good shot, there, Oswald!
Your slanders against Bill Clinton are a little disgusting, and of course untrue, but given that the context is Rush Limbaugh your descent into mudslinging is, I suppose, understandable. But I do have to give the GOP a tiny bit of credit for at least telling the torture happy war criminals that preceded the Obama Administration to stay home.
Hey PP if “control their own bodies" is a constitutional right, why do we selectively make drugs illegal? If the same women that have a "constitutional right to control their own bodies" are allowed to have ejaculating penises indiscriminately poked into their bodies via "constitutional right" why are they not similarly allowed to indiscriminately ingest heroin, cocaine or marijuana into "their own bodies"???
If there really is a CONSTITUTIONAL right to control one’s own body, please explain WHY that right only appears to be applicable to terminating fetuses and not applicable to any of the numerous other aspects of “controlling their own bodies”? As you have been so diligent in providing for my citation requests before, please provide the quote from the Constitution that supports your claim.
Personally, I think drug laws should be abolished. If you want to shoot up with heroin in the privacy of your own home that's your business, not the government's. Obviously that's not the same thing as driving while under the influence of heroin, which I think is justifiably not permitted as a matter of public safety, but the only person you're endangering at home is yourself.
And are you TRULY trying to suggest that having sex is unconstitutional???
No, not at all, I was just making logical comparison between what you said and the other laws that fly in the face of a "constitutional right to control their own bodies". If there is truly a constitutional provision allowing individual right of control of one's own body, are dozens of federal laws and regs that VIOLATE said provision.
Along that same train of thought, as neither PresBarry nor GovMitt advocate abolition of drug laws, why are you not advocating the only candidate on every ballot that DOES take that position?
Gary Johnson, former GOP Gov of New Mexico for two terms, not only agrees with you, but also agrees with the Dems on their Pro-Choice position (except for the part where the Dems are okay with termination in the last trimester. Heck even PresBarry goes BEYOND that extreme in that he has supported terminating the infant POST BIRTH if the infant could survive the abortion.
As we are so selectively focused on the Constitution, why isn’t Johnson your choice instead of they guy with only one American citizen parent?
Actually Babi, it’s the Democrats that are going back 2 Decades to dig up their impeached Keynote speaker!
This is the same Keynote speaker that was cheating on his wife while puffing on the other end of a cigar that was stuck inside of his barely legal intern in the Oval Office of the Whitehouse!
This is the keynote speaker from the group that claims that the GOP has a war on Women? Are you Kidding Me?
It only seems reasonable that with all the flap and finger pointing at Congressman Akin, that the same "War on Women" label being plastered on the GOP can EQUALLY be applied to the keynote speaker your folks chose for your Charlotte coronation.
In the same week that Barry points his finger at the stupid comment made by Akin about his errant verbiage regarding his long time Pro-Life advocacy, his wife has a similar stupid slip up in telling people to bring a friend to the polls and vote on November SECOND.
Yet when the entire Akin interview is heard, Rep. Akin makes the consistent point asking why the innocent fetus resulting from a criminal act should be the one served with the death penalty. This is a position he has held for years while getting elected over and over.
The MSM onl...

The MSM only gave us the 15 seconds of his STUPID part of his comment without the five minutes of reasonable discussion on the age old Pro-Live versus Pro-Choice debate. This is the same position in that debate that voters in his state have been well aware of for years as to where he stands on that issue.

"This is too funny - and using a woman whose sworn statement admitted she lied? ROFLMAO"
Which woman was it that lied? Was it Gennifer Flowers? Was it Kathleen Willey? Was it Juanita Broaddrick? Was it Paula Jones? Was it Elizabeth Ward Gracen? Was it Sharon Bialek? Was it Dolly Kyle Browning? Which one? Did they All Lie?
Must be related to the DNC idiot that decided to hold the Convention in Charlotte NC in the middle of hurricane season.
For the Atlantic coast, hurricane season runs from the beginning of June to the end of November. The Carolinas have historically taken the brunt of many a storms' landfall. Charlotte sits about 200 miles from Myrtle Beach, S.C., Charleston, S.C. and Wilmington, all hurricane hotspots. Many of the storms that make landfall in these coastal communities end up affecting Charlotte. Due to its size and numerous accommodations, Charlotte also serves as an evacuation point coastal residents in both North and South Carolina.
From 1851 to 2005, North Carolina has been hit by close to 50 hurricanes - 12 of them considersd "major." Twenty-two of these hurricanes were a category 1, 13 a category 2, 11 a category 3 and one was a category 4. A category 5 hurricane has never hit North Carolina directly.
Charlotte is 200 miles from the coast (approximately) and 200 miles isn't anything very far when a hurricane hits. Of course this doesnt fit your typical liberal narrative of republicans are ignorant and democrats are brilliant since it deals with facts.
Seriously, who in the Democrat Party thought it would be a great idea to hold their convention in a "RIGHT TO WORK" state where union labor is as rare as hurricanes are in Charlotte. I thought all those Dems LOVED their Union Labor "donations"...
[And off the subject for a second, Charleston truly is a charming city, I have to say. I don't like the politics, but it seems like a nice place to live otherwise.]
But if you look closely, you would see that Charleston is the most LIBERAL part of the state as most of you Democrat folks from NY, NJ & N.England... keep moving down to the "Holy City" to escape your high taxes... And then vote for Democrats HERE!
Charleston has a Dem major thats been there since the 1970s and keeps getting reelected. Of course when he ran for Gov. several years ago it was the rest of the DEEP RED South Carolina that handed him his hat and told him to go back to the beach.

And just to remind you, Charlotte has been hit by a hurricane ONCE - in 1989.
Heck, we get 40mph winds from a normal summer/fall thunderstorm. Hugo was the real thing!
I just read the specifics and your list seems to include "Tropical Storms", not just hurricanes. Your 68 storms include these 'tropical storms'.
CNN was reporting that the last real "Hurricane" to hit Tampa Bay was Hurricane Donna in 1960 and that was after it crossed over from Miami and had less than hurricane force winds when it arrived in Tampa. Before Donna was the storm in 1950.
Again, based on the states from YOUR LINK, all 15 of the listed storms since Donna were TROPICAL STORMS that came through Tampa Bay... and based on your statement: "ONLY hurricane since hurricanes began to be classified by NOAA that retained "hurricane" status"... so if that is the benchmark, then yes, Charlotte had one Hurricane, but Tampa' s last true hurricane was in 1950 which was before hurricanes had names.
Of course since 1950, only three of the tropical storms DID NOT come from over land (like Hugo), but NONE of those were are listed as hurricanes... only tropical storms.
BTW - thanks for the citation.
Those are truth and facts.
My husband & I were evacuated off of our coastal barrier island home for Hugo and we moved to a hotel that ended up in the eye of the storm as it moved across Charleston County... 11pm that Friday night; we saw the clear and quiet starlit sky as we stood in the middle of a Cat 4 (5?) storm. The sound of the approaching opposite storm wall was like 1000 freight trains heading our way... as we scurried back into our shelter.
Raised in Florida, I've been through a half dozen hurricanes... and we never looked to the President for our salvation... but we did hold our city and county officials accountable... and the goodness and charity of average American came through. Our North Charleston store was a focus point for deliveries of water, ice, generators, etc as the local radio station (who we advertised with) told the locals that we were the drop off point for the trucks bringing in the supplies that we all needed.
Our local gov't, both the Dems & the Repubs all worked together to overcome our common crisis and the world came to our rescue. Since then we've donated to every hurricane assistance occurrence in the South East...
You and I disagree often, but you are dead on with your above comment here. Thanks AV
I do believe that the local officials should be the first line of defense, and I agree that Nagin was as much to blame for the post-Katrina problems as Bush was. I think in these situations FEMA's primary role should be to supplement what the local governments are doing and to make sure that they get whatever supplies and support they need. There may be times that due to the particular circumstances the local authorities CAN'T handle it (say a major earthquake) in which case FEMA and whoever else the Federal government can supply should try to step in, but where there's a functioning local government I think they should take the lead. [Gotta tell you, when Bloomberg ordered evacuations of part of New York City it was incredibly spooky to see on the news, but it seems like it did save lives.]
Today, there were trucks with "Con-Ed" on their sides (from your neck of the woods? PP I think), several others from both West VA and Virginia. I passed four trucks from Maryland, a dozen or so from Duke Power, six from Santee Electric Co-Op and a line of 15 and 18 trucks from SCE&G...; And that was just what I saw on Interstate 95... no telling what is travelling south down I-85 or from across the mid-west heading toward "LA" (as we call Lower Alabama & the FL Panhandle). My guess is trucks I saw will be staging up somewhere around Jacksonville (I-10 west or I-95 south) and wait to see where the real damage is before they go help Florida Power & Light get their power grid back up on line.
In 1989, I vividly remember standing on the overpass of Aviation Avenue at Interstate 26 in North Charleston on the day after Hugo... surrounded by what looked like a war zone. There was a long line of utility trucks from all over the eastern U.S., all slowly making their way through the carnage on the road. The local men (my husband & son i...

There was a long line of utility trucks from all over the eastern U.S., all slowly making their way through the carnage on the road. The local men (my husband & son included) were out there on the interstate clearing trash and debris off the roadway so that the "cavalry" could get through and come they did! Lines and lines of utility company trucks from all over the southeast and mid-Atlantic states... that's when we organized a supply drop off point at our auto-parts store, with the airport and the interstate as we were located within a half mile of both.
Memories from 20 yrs ago... We called one of our suppliers in Atlanta telling him to send us all the generators they had as we were about to run out…
The next day, our delivery truck arrived, with the driver saying that as soon as he crossed into SC from GA on I-20, the SC Hwy Patrol pulled him over and asked him if he was the guy with the generators for Charleston, when he said “yes”, they told him “Try to keep up” and gave him a "Blue Light" 90-100 mph escort to North Charleston! My Atlanta supplier had called SC Hwy Patrol asking if they could assist getting that truck to Charleston quickly. They did!
That’s the kind of government assistance that we NEEDED. And none of the bureaucratic red tape that impedes economic progress!
Seeing the parade of utilities trucks this afternoon was a wonderful assurance from NON governmental dependence that Americans have for each other in their times of need. My son as left for the keys with both of his generators and mine, taking them down to an affiliate of his church to see if any one can use that equipment.
