Let's ignore the Rush Limbaughs of the world.

Let's stop giving hate mongers like Rush Limbaugh's and Pat Robertson the one thing they crave. Attention!
This past week both Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh made hateful comments concerning the earthquake in Haiti. Comments that wont be reprinted here because of their despicable nature.
It's time that the media and especially bloggers turn a deaf ear toward the hateful speech of people like Rush Limbaugh. He thrives on not only the hate that he spews but the firestorm it creates. He loves when bloggers jump on his comments and reprint them for millions more to see, watch, or read.
We have to realize that in our anger when we repost his comments we are only further spreading them to the masses. Sad as it may be every time he says something hateful and it's blown up online his audience actually grows not decreases.
Some of this may just be curious people trying to see if this type of hate is actually on the radio but then there are others who love the message and have found a messenger they were only vaguely familiar with.
Rush Limbaugh is a hate monger and it's time to just ignore him. He accused President Obama of using the earthquake to build bridges to the black community while never saying that he was using it to build his ratings and bring publicity to himself.
Let's al pretend he doesn't exist when he spews his hate. Let's let him be in that dark part of the world he chooses to dwell in alone. Let's focus on the positive out thee and the people who are really trying to change the United States and the world for the better.
We will all be better for it.
