Today, Rush Limbaugh said this about the oil rig explosion in the Gulf:

“I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig.  Since they're sending SWAT teams down there now this changes the whole perspective of this.  Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day.  I remember that.  And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it.  But this bill, the cap-and-trade bill, was strongly criticized by hardcore environmentalist wackos because it supposedly allowed more offshore drilling and nuclear plants, nuclear plant investment.  So, since they're sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they're sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig?  I'm just noting the timing here.”

He links Earth Day, environmentalist “wackos” and the oil rig explosion into one entertaining and ludicrous story. And says “Just noting the timing here” as if that makes it okay to make outrageous statements and blame environmentalists for the explosion.

Limbaugh's paranoia is unlimited and amazing.

Why would environmentalists want to destroy the environment to get their point across that the environment must be protected and saved. Everyone should be concerned about the environmental catastrophe unfolding and with the oil about ready to hit the shore it will have dire consequences for years to come.

Not only is Limbaugh crazy he also doesn't really care about the environment. He just wants to attack Obama in any way possible.

Just because Limbaugh has a microphone doesn't mean he is sane or right.
