Limbaugh's Lies on Environment and Safety
It’s really hard to imagine that anyone could take seriously the nonsense—make that the total falsehoods—spewed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. It would make for good humor, except that people believe these shameless harlots who have dedicated their lives to the service of corporate greed and gratuitous attacks on progressives (or even liberals).
Limbaugh has crammed his foot even farther down his mouth than usual a few times lately. Two examples: He blamed environmentalists for the tragic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and he blamed the United Mine Workers of America for failing to head off the 29-fatality disaster at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch coal mine in West Virginia.
Let’s look at the Massey case. Talk about blaming the victim: Early in his career as CEO of Massey, Don Blankenship broke the back of the UMWA by refusing to honor the industry agreement and demanding that the union bargain individually with Massey’s 14 subsidiaries. This was 1984, during the notoriously anti-union presidency of Ronald Reagan.
Thus, Upper Big Branch, like many Massey mines, is non-union. The union has tried to organize there repeatedly. And the government has repeatedly cited the mine for safety violations, closing it 61 times in the 15 months preceding the explosion.
Now, the really interesting part: According to “How King Coal Killed the Union Man,” by Lauri Lebo, published in the May 15 issue of the Washington Spectator union mines are far, far safer than nonunion You need to be a subscriber to read the article, so let me summarize some of the findings:
How does Limbaugh sleep at night? He is a propagandist, not a journalist

it is very good mineing safety violations where Safety inspectors at union mines have the power to shut down mines operating unsafely; in non-union mines, the inspectors are absent, and workers can be fired for calling for inspection.Thanks

I think the author missed their meds before writing about political satirist comments. Shameless harlots? An 80 IQ could figure out his comments were said to spark reaction in which the fleas such as your self can ride the elephant. Otherwise NO ONE would read your twisted opinion. You had your 15 seconds of fame with no solutions? Their safety record is very good for such a dangerous occupation. The governmental agencies are doing a great job with inspections and citations. Would you prefer mountain removal ? Life is not fair, why not attempt to communicate solutions such as everyone reducing our needs and cutting waste. Thanks for your attempt at helping however with solution/rants like yours we will never get the job dome.

No, I would not prefer mountaintop removal. I would prefer an economy based on clean and renewable energy: solar, wind, small-scale hydro, geothermal, conservation…Coal and oil are obsolete technologies. Nuclear never made any sense in the first place. But we have plenty of energy from the sun, wind, water, and earth. George, you as a self-styled Green guru ought to be aware of this.
