Rush Limbaugh has passed

[n_huffhines]

Oh the irony

Such a baby

RIP

And Rush spewed hate nonstop for 35 years

What was the most hateful comment you heard him, firsthand, spew?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

You've got it here in this thread, too. But it's easy to he disgusted, much harder and better to laugh, move on, and count your blessings- because in the end, you must have them to have the capacity to be disgusted by people wallowing in sewage.

True. Maybe i should change it to sad instead of disgusted. Sad that that many people would have that much vitriol towards a radio show personality. Obviously lived rent free in so many people’s heads for decades.

Back when I was a little more left leaning in college, my dad had one of his books on his bookshelf. I was bored one day and read it. Found myself agreeing a lot with what he said. Been a casual fan since. RIP. Big loss for conservative movement today

 

[McDad]

Don't smoke kids

But kids have the best flavor once they are dried and ground up.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

I believe anyone who says or promotes those ideas is an idiot and no better than Rush.
I do see how that works.

We know how LUTHER feels about Rush Limbaugh.

 

[FLVOL_79]

We know how LUTHER feels about Rush Limbaugh.

He's probably celebrating like I did after John Lewis died.












Just kidding, I didn't care about Lewis at all.

 

[utvolpj]

Yep. The left will rear their butt fugly LGBTQiZYZ noncisgendered heads and spew vitriol and hatred and celebrate this death. I for one am looking forward to it as it will foment new opposition to all things democrat.

Same many did to RBG. That's just what social media is

 

[luthervol]

Disagree.

It is always a good time and the right place to hear how others really feel. Hiding behind platitudes is easy. Let's hear how hateful and vile our family of posters truly are. Luther had the guts to like his post.

I liked his post because I am in 100% agreement with what he said.

I am fully aware.

I have never hidden that.....going on at least 30 years now.
It would be a little disingenuous to act differently today.

I hope Mark Stein takes his place

This is why I typically avoid RIP threads for politicians.

I doubt anyone would really like to know how I really feel when they die.

 

[luthervol]

Then it's odd you would think it took "guts" to like it.

Very few unrelated deaths even move the needle for me honestly. The last upsetting one I can remember was Pat Summit.

Best to ignore them, they aren't worth your time

We know that you like it when people die. Now the deceased Rush will vote DEM for the first time when the 2024 election arrives.

Being a bastard when someone passes, even someone with which you carry unmitigated disdain, is generally frowned upon in our society. Therefore, the "guts" comment. You acted in a manner almost all find reprehensible even though it is an accurate sentiment.

The "worst sports moment" in the FF made me think of her passing. Walter Payton's announcement and subsequent death was unusually sad for me, too.

 

[VolinWayne]

Huh?

He's preached the same conservative message for years. He is a true Patriot who loved our country.

 

[n_huffhines]

I hope Mark Stein takes his place

You mean the thin-skinned douche who tried to get Jack Hunter fired because Jack dared to criticize something he said on one of Stein's affiliates?

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I’m the definition of a “Rush Baby” I listened in the back seat of my mom car growing up. My sister and I eveb would make our own parody jingles like Paul Shanklin.
he was a legend that changed Talk Radio forever, he was a philanthropist that was often overlooked. He was the definition of a self made man, he started out working as a no one at a radio station and then built an empire. He shared his highs and lows and was always personable and interesting. He always said his talent was “on loan from God”
Well God called him and his Golden microphone home.
Rest In Peace Rush.

 

[BowlBrother85]

While I agreed with none of the policies he advocated for, I have to admit that he was entertaining. There is no denying the considerable influence he had on making politics a spectator sport in this country. The opinionated prime-time cable news shows not only exist but thrive, largely because of how popular he made the discussion of politics, which used to be thought of as a boring topic relegated to Sunday morning.

Sorry to hear of his passing. RIP.

There is a death bastard continuum wherein you are allowed to be a bastard provided your disdain for the the person who died is at an appropriate position on the other continuum. For further questions related to continuums please consult the manual.
