Just so we're clear, Hollywood (which has individually organized to donate millions of dollars to Haiti) are Godless heathens and Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh (who said that Haiti deserved to be hit with an earthquake) represent traditional American values.

Since 2006, the IRS has spent $87,000,000 on private contractors to collect unpaid taxes. These private contractors have recovered only $50,000,000

That Rush Limbaugh could claim the Haitian tragedy was "made to order" for Obama shows how crazed the US right has become
