Rush's death will become a political issue.  i immediately expect the usual suspects - Cruz, Gaetz, Gym, Hawley - to come out and ask Biden to lower the flags to half mast for Rush.  i mean, he did "win" the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  "he's an American hero and patriot."

this will become a political talking point for a few news cycles.

even in death, Rush will be divisive as ever.

Cue the outrage at all of the callous, heartless, godless left celebrating his death in 3, 2, 1...

I see the snowflakes are out today.  Always said this on the Shag, you neg in the CR you are a complete pussy. This is how I know if the civil war ever gets hot, it will be a short one.

Carson made a generation laugh late at night. Stewart got a generation of people to laugh by pointing out the lunacy of elected officials through the use of humor. Limbaugh got millions of A

Say what you want about Gacey, but he was really good at killing those boys.

Say what will you about Dean Corll, but he did smoke out many a youngster before he tortured them, killed them and buried their remains on the beach at High Island.

Lol it'll happen, with not a hint of irony when they had RBG's replacement lined up and ready to be rolled out to raucous applause and congratulations not a couple hours after she died.

From The Onion :

 

https://www.theonion.com/i-dont-even-want-to-be-alive-anymore-1819584611

 

I know there are a lot of people out there who are upset about some of the things I've been saying on my radio program lately. My comments about the situation in Haiti have hurt and angered many Americans who genuinely care about the plight of the Haitian people, and that hurt and anger will likely never go away. Many of you are probably wondering, "What would compel a human being to say things like that?" Well, here's your answer: I am a very bad person. And, to tell you the truth, I don't really want to be alive anymore.

Try to look at it from my point of view. I have no reason to live. In my 59 years, I've made millions of dollars, built a veritable media empire, and accomplished virtually everything that a man of my limited imagination and worldview could possibly accomplish. And yet, at this point, in no way could you refer to what I'm doing as "living," exactly. I just sort of exist. I derive no real pleasure from life. Oh, sure, I talk a big game about what a golf nut I am and how much I enjoy the taste of a fine cigar, but it's all horseshit. Complete and utter horseshit.

I don't enjoy that stuff. I don't enjoy anything. I don't even want to be here. The sadness and regret I feel every waking hour of my life is absolutely unbearable. I am a miserable pig and I do not want to exist.

The irony is that, even if I did die, the hell I would surely be sent to could not possibly be any worse than the bottomless pool of excrement I already paddle around in like some demented, shit-covered walrus. In fact, every time I hear my voice coming through the headphones I nearly gag, and I think, "What the fuck am I doing?" Why would I say that Michael J. Fox is faking his Parkinson's symptoms? Why would I find it funny to play a song called "Barack the Magic Negro"? Why would I tell people not to give aid to Haiti?

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I live in constant terror and that terror informs my every word, thought, and action.

See, the thing is, I honestly cannot control the bilious hatred and filth that oozes out of my mouth. I want to—believe me, I want to—but I can't. And every time I speak, a tiny voice inside my head is screaming, "Stop talking, you stupid, insensitive prick. JUST STOP FUCKING TALKING. All you do is spread hate and fear, and the world would be a better place without you, you worthless, amoral, cocksucking fuckface."

What I should really do is just commit suicide. I have this little Sunday ritual I started around the time I publicly compared the torture at Abu Ghraib to a fraternity prank, where I climb into my Jacuzzi and put a gun in my mouth. But I can never work up the guts to pull the trigger. A few times I came close to overdosing on prescription pain pills, but my goddamn doctors were always there to save me. If I had any sense, I would just hole myself up in a Red Roof Inn with a case of Jack Daniel's and slowly drink myself into the gaping maw of death itself.

But what can I say? I guess I'm just too much of a fat fucking pussy to follow through.

You know what? I wish someone would just kill me. I'm serious. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Oh my God, how can you say such a thing? You can't print that in a newspaper!" But see, I don't care anymore. I've cried my tears. I've battled my demons, and I've lost. It's over. It's all over. The only thing left for me to do now is just go away. Have I even once contributed a single ounce of good to humanity? Put me out of my misery. I wouldn't make a fuss. I wouldn't even humiliate myself by saying goodbye. For the first time in my odious, pitiful life, I'd accept my fate with quiet dignity.

Then I wouldn't have to live with my wretched, wretched self. Oh, the release.

I've imagined my death a thousand times over, and it's always the same. In my mind's eye, a serene setting comes into view. I see a funeral procession driving down some small-town Main Street in Nowheresville, U.S.A. On one side of the street, a collection of sycophants and morons are paying their respects in subliterate, sanctimonious tones. Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, I can just make out the faint image of a young boy, his brow furrowed in confusion, clutching the hand of his father. "Who is that man, Daddy?" he asks as the hearse containing my bloated, lifeless body rolls by. "Who is that person they speak of?" The father will then lower his head and say, "There, my son, go the remains of Rush Hudson Limbaugh, the most abominable lump of festering dog shit in the history of American broadcasting. May the likes of him never again soil or tarnish the greatness of our fair country."

Please forgive me, everyone. I am so sorry.

I disagree. Trump happened because people listen to Rush.

I think it's an important distinction. Rush didn't happen in a vacuum and its important to lay the blame where it properly should be laid and that's at the foot of the masses who ever put stock in a single word he said and then voted because they allowed their beliefs to be shaped by him.

It's hard to imagine the pain he was going through. Struggling for oxygen with every painful breath. Knowing full well he'd never see the next sunrise or spread his influence to the next highest bidder that kissed the ring. It's hard to imagine, but it's really satisfying.

Trying to keep it as close to classy as possible while still being fair. A democracy needs a diversity of political views to thrive. I do not recall Rush Limbaugh ever advocating for a positive view of conservatism, or explaining why it would be good for America or Americans. The closest he came to a positive message was praise for someone else’s attacks on his favorite targets. His entire life’s work was defined by creating, stoking, and channeling hatred to the people he thought deserved it. He reveled in incivility as a virtue. His legacy is that he laid a lot of bricks in our current foundation of politics as a nihilistic, zero-sum blood sport where making the other guy lose personally is at least as valuable as notching a win for the country. 

He and Newt purged the middle.

The notion that politicians and pundits on the Right are at the mercy of their base is a dangerous myth. The masses have been whipped into a frenzy by a steady stream of lies from callous depraved "leaders", like Rush and Trump. 

These people are treacherous manipulators and we should celebrate every time they get their microphones taken away, by whatever means.

This sums up how I feel about his death. I am not going to celebrate it. I understand the feelings of people who are glad this day finally came because of a lifetime spent saying the absolutely most hateful things he could think of. I believe I commented some months ago that he had an opportunity to right some of the wrongs of his life once he received his diagnosis. Instead he doubled down on hate.

Rush was very much responsible for opening the door for a Donald Trump and Qanon type thinking.

Ah, a thread of this asshole’s greatest hits.



But let’s all not forget he was a “broadcasting legend” or whatever the fuck bullshittery embarrassed right wingers are trotting out as some kind of mediation or excuse.

Dude was ALWAYS a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic fat piece of subhuman garbage with an Oxy habit.

Fuck him.

Yep, he was so much like Trump in his thinking and behavior. They should be buried side by side or on top of each other.

I listened some to him in the early going, like late 80s, early 90s, never regularly.  Back then, he seemed to be sort of a conservative shock jock.  Occasionally funny jibes at the left.  I was a callow youth and listened and laughed a little, sometimes uncomfortably.  But back then, I really didn't detect maliciousness.  In fact, back then, I'd compare him to a right-wing Bill Maher.  Vulgar, sometimes, funny, but mostly good-natured ribbing of the other side.

I have never enjoyed much "political talk," it always seems to oversimplify issues and that has become more true over the decades, along with outright fabrication and misrepresentation.

Without even hearing his voice in probably 20 years, it is painfully obvious how he shaped right wing dialectics for the worse.  The jokes became more malignant and more accepted as actual truth.

RIP you son of a bitch.

Ah, yes.  The classy, witty Rush of the '90s who made a joke to a national audience about 12 year old Chelsea Clinton being the White House dog.  

Beat me to it. Those were the peak of his culture warrior days too (feminazis, etc). I read Al Franken’s book in middle school and it’s one of the reason why I have been anti-conservative since becoming politically conscious.

I remember when ESPN hired Rush and it lasted like two weeks before he made a racist comment and got fired.

He will not be missed. 

That was a complete disaster.
