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

June 16, 2010 4:00 pm ET

From the June 16 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

EMBED

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?

          This is entirely the WRONG question. Actually, does Rush have any compassion whatsoever may be a better question. In the Bible, there is a verse that says we are our brother's keepers. What a novel Idea for Rush to ponder. God has a reward for those who disregard the needs of children and it will not be pretty. But this comment should be no surprise coming from Rush. He is totally absorbed with words that defame others and tries to make him look smart. He is immensely successful at the first part of that sentence and woefully behind on the second part of the sentence. God has his own time for these sorts of people. But in te end, Rush's serial wives seem to indicate he does not have very good interpersonal people skills. He is, however, great at rants.

        Actually, when you think about it, dumpster diving is the perfect description of what Rush does to produce material for his show.
        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.

        If Rush hadn't compiled an unbroken record of misanthropy, misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry, I would say no one could actually mean that, he was trying to emulate Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. No such luck. He really is a greasy blot on our national discourse.

        This is Swift's epitaph, BTW, written by himself, and translated from the Latin by W.B. Yeats:
        Swift has sailed into his rest. Savage indignation there cannot lacerate his breast. Imitate him if you can, world-besotted traveler. He served human liberty.

        Since you claim to be a PA, you would know that starving one's self is no way to lose weight. Also, studies have shown that obese children are a lot of times malnurished because of the fact that they spend the summers and evening eating ding-dongs and various other unhealthy food.

        Yeah, going hungry in this nation of plenty is SO humorous, squawks. Conservatism means to adhere to traditional values. Traditionally, in THIS country, neighbors pitched in and helped each other out, they cared for those less fortunate. Guess that means you're not really a conservative, huh?

          Hey Nancy, txthinker said that a boyfriend could be found in a dumpster and I recommended he let you know that you sound like you could use one. A little "sumthin, sumthin" might help you out.

                    Oh, BJ is still around. He just has a very self-important new name.

                    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.

      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?

      Maybe Limbaugh should do a little investigative reporting of his own and see where he can find some left over food from bums on the street... experience some of that "dumpster diving" for himself. The last thing we need is el fathead to be a skinny starving husband for his clueless wife.

      The difference between Rush and them is he is fat from eating gallons of cholcolate mousse and truffles and they are overweight from eating junk like macaroni and cheese because it's all their parents can afford, the priviledge A-hole. It's time we do start a class war and I guarantee his side will lose.

      Wow, that is pretty funny. I might even have to listen to this guy sometime, though it would mean missing Charlie Manning's show.

      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.

        The point is that it was an incredibly callous and ignorant thing to say. No one thinks parents are so cruel they won't buy food for their kids. Furthermore, dumpster diving is hardly something to joke about.

                Really Space Pedestrian?

                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.

                  Not you, I assume. Nor I. Limbaugh? Probably but I wouldn't know. I could ask my father, he's listened to him.

                  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.

      Elton John must be sooo proud he took THIS PIG'S money . .

      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 . . '

      I've been out of college for way too long, but I think I still grasp this theory I learned in psychology - when a child is in their toddler stage, they have this feeling that if he or she experiences something, everyone else must be experiencing it too. Sort of like having a person who has a $400 mill contract say "Well, I don't see why it's so difficult to pay for bills..."

      Maybe Rush just hasn't grown out of that toddler mentality.

        It's part of Piaget's theory on the stages of development. Limpy is stuck in the egocentric stage of development. He's stuck in the very early stage of childhood.

      He obviously knows all about dumpster diving. Clearly he doesn't starve, the fat pig. Check his neighborhood. I doubt there is a morsel of food left in any of his neighbors' dumpsters.

      While I do not necessarily agree with his perspectives, I do believe there are serious problems with the free or reduced lunch programs in this country. As a single Mom, I have been active in my kids lives, and from time to time I have had lunch with the kids at their schools. I can only afford to buy their lunch 2 times per week; the kids brown bag it the other 3 days (sandwich, chips, fruit, etc.) I live in a rural county where most of the people struggle financially like me. The times that I have joined the kids in the school cafeteria have opened my eyes to the extreme waste of taxpayer dollars. I have watched the kids who get the free or reduced lunch eat their cookie and maybe drink there milk and then throw the entire tray of uneaten food in the trash. I am serious - MOUNDS of wasted food every day. There has to be a better way. Have my kids ever thrown their school lunch away? I do not know for sure, but at least it was my money and not my neighbors tax dollars. And when they take their lunch, I KNOW they like it and will eat it. Bottom line. The free or reduced lunch program should be canned. It is not working to end hunger. Pass out cookies and milk because they are not eating the other stuff!
