Roger Ebert Attacks Rush Limbaugh over Haiti
ByFilm Critic Roger Ebert, although outspoken about his anti-torture views, is not particularly consistent in his pacifist rhetoric.
In his review of the movie “Taxi to the Dark Side,” Ebert criticized Dick Cheney for the torture that is ascribed to the Bush administration in the film.
At the same time, though, Ebert called for talk radio host Rush Limbaugh to be horsewhipped for questioning President Obama’s push of the White House government Web site as the way for a caring public to make donations to help Haiti.
Ebert penned an open letter to Limbaugh in the Chicago Sun Times, writing that “having followed President Obama’s suggestion and donated money to the Red Cross for relief in Haiti, I was offended to hear you [Limbaugh] suggest the President might be a thief capable of stealing money intended for the earthquake victims.”
Limbaugh made no such suggestion. Ebert instead pulled the inflammatory words from his posterior but went on to reference a conversation that Rush had with one of his callers on his radio show. ..Excerpt: CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
