RUSH: Get this. You know, I keep saying I\u2019m gonna move on to other things. I keep saying, “I\u2019ve said what I\u2019ve had to say,” but they just keep sucking me back in by sending me this. This is Maude Behar on The View today. Now, this… Well, I don\u2019t want to characterize. I just want you to listen to this. This was this morning on ABC\u2019s The View.<\/p>\n

MAUDE: The heat is creating warm waters in th-the oceans, in the Gulf, wherever, and that is contributing to the intensity of storms like Irma. Why this is the worst storm we\u2019ve ever seen, etcet\u2019tra (sic), has to do with, uh, climate change. And people who deny that, they should start naming all of these next hurricanes after Hurricane Limbaugh, Hurricane Pruitt —<\/p>\n
BRAINLESS WIZARDS IN THE AUDIENCE: (applause)<\/p>\n
MAUDE: — Hurricane Palin. (shouts) Y\u2019know, Hurricane Trump!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, you hear those brainless wizards in the audience applaud. But I would be honored if they\u2019d name a hurricane after me. Hurricane Rush. I would be honored! It could be a great honor. But it\u2019ll never happen. Hurricane EIB, Hurricane Limbaugh, Hurricane Rush, Hurricane El Rushbo! But let\u2019s look at what she said: “The heat is creating warm waters in the oceans, in the Gulf, wherever, and that is contributing to the intensity of storms like…” So she\u2019s obviously been watching amateur scientists on TV explain how hurricanes are fueled, and ocean water is just one example.<\/p>\n
You know, I\u2019ll give you an idea how odd this stuff is. Over the weekend I was reading some actual published in Drive-By Media sources, not social media comments or comments of websites. Somebody said, “What we really need to do is we need to have giant funnels out there! We need to put giant funnels in front of the oncoming hurricane and force all of that warm water on the surface down to the floor of the ocean so that the hurricane will not have any fuel.” They were serious!<\/p>\n
Now, these are the people that believe we\u2019re causing all of this by doing what? Driving SUVs, by having barbecue pits going at the same time in the afternoon, by burning fossil fuels or what have you? I thought all we would have to do to stop these storms is stop living the way we\u2019re living. How are we gonna stop this? We can\u2019t because we didn\u2019t cause it. But Maude Behar here, “And people who deny that, they should start naming all of these next hurricanes after Hurricane Limbaugh…”<\/p>\n
She thinks this is the worst storm we\u2019ve ever seen. She has no idea, has no idea where this storm ranks. She\u2019s just an unquestioning sponge for the latest propaganda from the left on these — and she spreads it, and the brain-dead members of her audience soak it up and applaud it. If ocean water temperatures were the reason for hurricanes, how did we go 12 years without them?<\/p>\n
And if climate change is responsible for all of the surface sea temperatures rising, why didn\u2019t that cause any hurricanes to hit the United States of major status for 12 years? You\u2019re not supposed to ask. Not even supposed to point it out. Not supposed to challenge the groupthink. Not supposed to challenge the consensus. It threatens these people. That\u2019s the amazing thing: It threatens them! Just disagreeing. Okay, who\u2019s next?<\/p>\n
Pete in Whitby, Ontario. Great to have you on the program, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush! It would be Hurricane Maha Rushie, and it\u2019d be sweeping all the left-wing loons out and leave us conservatives behind.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: Listen, Rush, those of us that have listened to you for so long, whether it be in southern Ontario all the way to the United States and trickling into Mexico, we have a great passion for what you teach us, because it\u2019s all fact. It\u2019s all logic. What I don\u2019t get is we have to stick up for ourselves. I mean, the people that smoosh you out like that, that bleed these lies, why do…? You know, symbolically go after them. You know, sue them! I hate to say it, but, you know, do it symbolically for a buck because that will bring the people that don\u2019t listen to you — at least 25 to 50% of them — into the mix and they\u2019ll start hearing the truth. I think that\u2019s really important, put in the same bag of tricks as we see what happened with Donald.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The problem is a suit… Look, I appreciate your sentiments. I really do. I appreciate your thoughts on that. But I\u2019m too famous. Famous people can\u2019t sue for slander or libel. Famous people, public figures are open targets, and the standard of proof that… You have to essentially prove malice, which is obvious, but proving it is hard. Look at what happened to Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin, a New York Times editorial virtually lied about her, claiming that she was responsible for a mass shooting that injured Gabby Giffords.<\/p>\n
Sarah Palin wasn\u2019t there. She had nothing to do with it. The left totally made it up. You know what they did? On her website, she was talking about upcoming elections and primaries and so forth, and s she had a bull\u2019s-eye — actually a crosshairs that you might see in a rifle scope — to represent target areas where Republicans should spend some money and campaign against Democrats. The leftists said that that icon, that depiction of a crosshairs is what caused the shooter to go out and take shots at Gabby Giffords. I mean, it\u2019s insane!<\/p>\n
This guy that pulled the trigger… Even if somebody had gone to her website, the last thing anybody would think in looking at it, “You know what? I\u2019m gonna go grab a shotgun and I\u2019m gonna go shoot a congressman!” Two years after it has been totally destroyed, two years after it\u2019s been demonstrated that the guy didn\u2019t even know who Sarah Palin was \u2019cause he\u2019s insane, the New York Times runs an editorial.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Hodgkins-FB.jpg\")
<\/a>After a Democrat started shooting up Republicans at baseball practice in Virginia, the New York Times runs an editorial claiming, “Well, Sarah Palin was in it first,” and she sued them. She sued them for libel. You know what the New York Times said? Before the case got thrown out, you know what the New York Times position was? Well, the editorial writers had not read the newspaper, and the editorial writers didn\u2019t know that the theory had been snuffed out. That was their defense.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-DC-Shooter-James-Hodgkinson.jpg\")
<\/a>So while conservatives are always accused of doing this, liberals actually have deranged lunatics out doing it. Another guy reading the Southern Poverty Law Center website found out — “found out” in quotes — that the Family Research Council was a hate group. They happen to be pro-life and that makes \u2019em a hate group. Oh, and they\u2019re said to be anti-LGBQ. Nobody\u2019s anti-LGBQ. Nobody has something against those people. It\u2019s the politics. It\u2019s always the politics that people oppose, not the individuals.<\/p>\n
