Limbaugh attacks school lunches, suggests hungry children should "dumpster dive"

LIMBAUGH: Then, a companion story from AOL News: "Record Number of US Kids Facing Summer of Hunger." "With the sc-rewl year ending in communities across America, more than 16 million children face a summer of hunger." Now, Michelle Obama told us they're all so fat and out of shape and overweight that a summer off from government eating might be just the ticket.
Could it be possible -- "while classes were in session, they relied on free or discount"--
This, of course, takes into no account that the parents, I guess, just can sit around and let their kids starve. Why if the kids don't do it, they're gonna starve -- if the schools don't do it, the kids are going to starve.
"The children caught in the gap will likely spend the next few months cadging leftovers from their neighbors, chowing down on cheap junk, lining up with their families at food banks that are already overmatched or simply learning to live with a constant headache, growling stomach and chronic fatigue. When school rolls around again in the fall, they will be less healthy and less ready to learn than their peers."
God, this is just -- we can't escape these people. We just can't escape them. They live in the utter deniability of basic human nature. They actually have it in their heads somehow that parents are so rotten that they will let their kids go hungry and starve, unless the schools take care of it

You know, one of the benefits of school being out, in addition to your kids losing weight because they're starving to death out there because there's no school meal being provided, one of the benefits of school being out, college campi being vacant this time of year, is that our audience levels go up. I think, you know what we're going to do here, we're going to start a feature on this program: "Where to find food." For young demographics, where to find food. Now that school is out, where to find food. We can have a daily feature on this. And this will take us all the way through the summer. Where to find food. And, of course, the first will be: "Try your house." It's a thing called the refrigerator. You probably already know about it. Try looking there. There are also things in what's called the kitchen of your house called cupboards. And in those cupboards, most likely you're going to find Ding-Dongs, Twinkies, Lays ridgy potato chips, all kinds of dips and maybe a can of corn that you don't want, but it will be there. If that doesn't work, try a Happy Meal at McDonald's. You know where McDonald's is. There's the Dollar Menu at McDonald's and if they don't have Chicken McNuggets, dial 911 and ask for Obama.
There's another place if none of these options work to find food; there's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now, you might find competition with homeless people there, but there are videos that have been produced to show you how to healthfully dine and how to dumpster dive and survive until school kicks back up in August. Can you imagine the benefit we would provide people?

Stop laughing, Soze. I think it's pretty evident from his postings that he/she is pretty darn smart. Again, stop laughing.
I have to go. An alarm just went off here on the International Space Station.
Apparently, not a Love Doctor.

I do offer parcel credit for " Given it the old Yankee Try "
It is a dumpster brimming with maggot-infested mendacity and the rotting carcass' of bad ideas.
Day in and day out, Rush feasts on the garbage that he thinks he can resell to his audience that drools over the stench of a decaying mind.
Oh, you would? Bear in mind, some of the students would probably be girls. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Could you even imagine?
All that teeth-whitener, fake-tan cream & Beno coming at you?
Eyes rolling under a potent concoction of oxy-contin mixed discretely with viagra?
The fat, greasy hands sensually tracing out a constellation of lipo scars on that grotesque corpulence?
The chapped thighs?
The boob sweat?
His crying out for Ann Coulter?
Thats enough to scare me straight!!
And I wont even go into what might get that twisted freak off.
But lets just say it probably gives a whole new meaning to the term, DIRTY BOMB!
I bet he cries afterwards.
BTW, I absolutely LOVE your name! And i have often wondered the exact same question myself. I also wonder what ever happened to Matt Sanchez.
el Fathead is the poster boy for what conservatives have done to this great country.
The guy's just being funny. Where's your sense of humor? You just don't understand right wing humor.
There's something wrong with people who can't find the humor in someone else's misfortune, tragedy, poverty or circumstances.
All because of an article about children being hungry in the U.S. The nerve, suggesting that.
This is Swift's epitaph, BTW, written by himself, and translated from the Latin by W.B. Yeats:
:-)
Scumbag.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my day!!!!
Yes, that one is a classic, though I think Joe Don Baker should be more concerned about adult obesity.
BTW, on a later season of MST3K, Mike and the bots riffed another Joe Don Baker film called "Final Justice"
Also a classic.
you absolute disgusting excuse for a human being.
you cannot possibly be a parent. no parent would ever say anything like this.
real example of christian values you hypocrite.
They're called -- or like to call themselves -- "compassionate coservatives."
If not, let me be the first.

Mom: Honey, I'm home!
BJKYSea: Hi, Mom! How much did you make today?
Mom: Fifty seven dollars and twenty-five cents.
BJKYSea: Who gave you the quarter?
Mom: all of them
(variation on old joke)
Seahawks is a sockpuppet name used by several people, I think. The reason I say that is that, occasionally, the user of the name forgets that seahawks is supposed to be stupid and has difficulty with the English language. You'll see proper capitalization, spelling, sentence structure and punctuation. I caught him at it several times. One day he actually correctly used the word "sycophants" in a post.
I've seen this sort of thing done on other communities in the past. No big thing.
Txthinker said, "Rush prefers to call it "trolling for boyfriends".
Where in that does it say Rush finds boyfriends in the dumpster? Pleas for gods sack retake reading comprehension.
Now, tell me why you don't believe in traditional values of this country, squawks? As a conservative, I find people like you who make fun of starving children a bit disgusting.
show us how much of neanderthall you are.
To the pro life crowd, once you're born, you're on your own.
As South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer said, feeding poor children just encourages them to breed.

How's that hope and change?
To quote Bill Maher, just fine, thanks. How's that Hooked on Phonics?
Awfully revealing to see how folks such as yourself take great joy in mocking hungry children. It sure gives you great pleasure to see other people suffer, as evidenced by your jokes up above.
I pity you. And I pray that God has mercy on your soul.
Sincerely,
The New Pilgrims
You haven't responded to my post. You claim to be a conservative, but you apparently don't adhere to traditional values. That's the basis for conservative thought, squawks. So, I'm guessing that you just confirmed that you are simply a Fox/hate talk radio groupie . . . not a conservative at all.
You're not even trying, Seagull.
Rasmussen. That's funny.
Meanwhile, back in the real world . . .
How's that "drill, baby, drill"?
It's ridiculous that republicans should even be allowed to respond to this type of poll question. The data is contaminated.
But of course, "Mr. Satire" can't see such a life existing beyond the realm of his gated community in Palm Beach, Florida.
How can Rush live with himself by making hundreds of millions of dollars, putting people out of work and mock struggling Americans? Has this blimp ever donated anything to charity, or been to Church and helped in various ministries?
I think this clip is disgusting, and his one supporter here at Media Matters needs to really evaluate their life.
Answer: The very worst kind.
After all, if sixth-grade kids want to eat lunch they should get a job like the rest of us. Lazy parasites.
You would be a delinquent parent. No question.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree Rusty. You come from a long line of misfits, and dysfunctional parents.
P.S.
Rush never dumpster dived. You can't dumpster dive if you are bigger than the dumpster.
How misleading was your headline on this one? Sarcastically saying kids should dumpster dive in an obvious parody of the alarmist nanny state is hardly equal to him saying they should be left to starve. Get over yourselves.
ReallY? Comparing a monster puppet in a garbage can on a children's show to a nationally syndicated political talk show (I am told) is meant for adults?
By the way, who has been supporting corporate deregulation, "free trade" and practices like "off shoring" jobs for the last few decades?
Who has been attacking unions and labor for the past few decades?
Who has been attacking school taxes and supporting performance based initiatives designed to weaken and underfund schools in the poorest neighborhoods for the past few decades?
Who has been attacking "welfare queens" and generally blaming the poorest, and most socio-economically challenged people for all our problems over the past few decades?
This might actually be funny if the people who supported this kind of "humorous" drivel weren't always pushing legislation that makes childhood malnutrition more likely.
I sense you're heightened emotions around this issue and am sorry if I roused you with my blithe sarcasm regarding Mr. Grouch. I surely didn't mean to demean his lifestyle. I concede kids could learn a little about recycling from him.
Even if the $1 million was designated for charity, Elton is rich enough to have donated the money personally and told Pillboy to 'screw off, nobody needs your blood money . . '
Maybe Rush just hasn't grown out of that toddler mentality.
... I'm wondering if this guy is a closeted Dead Kennedys fan.
