Rush Limbaugh has passed

Rest easy knowing the majority of people who identify as left wing lead miserable sh!t lives and often view themselves as being abject failures. Its fun seeing these studies pop up every few years and academics scratching their heads and wondering why lefties are so miserable.
Exactly right, no matter which election they “win” they are still miserable
 
That's maybe my fifth biggest contribution.
#1 - it's all on continuums
#2 - Trump is a horrendously despicable human
#3 - Normalizing Trump is/was a huge mistake
#4 - x rounds in y seconds
I'm sure I'm missing a few.
But granted, "hey look, Bigfoot" does drive home the point exceedingly well.
You really are a moron.
 
In the lacking consistency kind of way.
You would have to assume I only "like" posts with which I agree. In fact, i like posts that are funny, interesting, use creative phrases, words I didn't know, helpful, encouraging, and posts which give insight to who we are IRL.
But you go right on ahead assuming if it makes you feel good. After all, you've got the first syllable down pat.

So his opinions basically hurt feelings. Gotcha. People like you need to stop blaming others and start accepting that adults have personal accountability. A radio station gives opinions. That’s it. What someone decides to do based off of those opinions are that individuals fault.
 
Inprecise. Sandra Fluke wanted taxpayer funded birth control.

So he didn't call her a 'prostitute? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's precisely what he labeled her as. Well, that and a 'slut' (who was neither) which was why he was shamed into apologizing.

Why he did it is secondary to what he did.

Please quantify more damaging. Damaging to what? I could post such rhetorical links as well, but not going to bother espcially since your side is the party of historical "grievence"
 
I’m sure it’s just the same. “Rest in piss” and “rot in hell” trending on twitter, that to me deserves the term classless. But if people want to out themselves as that kind of person on a platform like Twitter that’s their prerogative . It’s not like anyone is expecting any kind of traction from this. Most smart people are aware of the hypocrisy that is attached to things like this.

Social media is cancer, Twitter in particular. Just because people can have a public voice, doesn't mean the should be listened to.

Got it.
You're calling me an ass.
Which is even funnier considering this started because I liked a post which you thought did not deserve to be liked.
But I'm starting to think you can't see the humor.

I clarified the imprecise portion of your post.

I neither deride nor defend either Rush or Fluke. I see no reason for taxpayers to fund contraception; especially contraception for college students.

In my opinion, she was one patsy in a long line of useful patsies used by the media and politicians for the cause de jour and then abandoned once their usefulness expires.
 
She wanted free birth control and to be free of any consequences of her actions should she get pregnant. Rush correctly pointed out that, as an adult, she should act like one.

So what if she wanted something free? Is that a valid reason to label someone a 'prostitute' and a 'slut?'

I find it ironic that people in here are aghast at Rush not getting the respect and decorum he deserves but would shrug at the absolute vitriol he displayed towards a woman whose politics he disagreed with.

Rush was an icon within his party and help shaped the narrative of the GOP for decades, but he was no Saint.

More mistakes.

Show me my post where I stated the post didn't deserved to be liked. I said you had guts. I encouraged people to post their vile feelings.

I called you an ass because you're acting like an ass.
