RIP Rush Limbaugh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeX5vbk8aoA

February is off to a good start.

Lung cancer - welcome to the #resistance.

I don't think Trump would even know Limbaugh's name, if there's a period of public mourning it will be because of some behind the scenes GOP creeps.

Sounds like a situation: no win for Rush. But that's what happens when you change your atmosphere.

Grifter has been on the show recently, been intro'd at rallies by him, etc

I think they’re friendly. Rush was an early jumper on the Trump Train. iirc they were golfing (regularly?) around the time Trump decided that Obama wasn’t born here and that he needed to call into Fox News everyday and tell us about it.

Limbaugh's an ugly fat guy who can't get hard without injecting Viagra straight into his dick, no way would Trump actually be friendly with him or remember his name after the introduction.

Remember when Glenn Beck said he was going blind? Those were the days.

you guys, Rush Limbaugh has a family

does anyone have an email address that would reach them so we can send them a copy of this thread

hahahahaha

well played, sir

Is the purpose of doing one of these RIP threads so someone can have their name associated with the first post? Is it comedy? It’s never funny so it can’t be that.

jokes are always funnier when they're explained

Lush Rimbaugh

While I'm able, in my better moments, to refrain from being a ghoul who actively anticipates the death of reactionary uber-conservative slugs whose overriding aim is to make the lives of people unlike themselves needlessly worse, I'm admittedly thankful that so many of them are increasingly old and unwell. #blessed

nearly spit out water. at work. thanks djp

jokes are always funnier when they're explained

― Οὖτις, Monday

Oh yeah death is hilarious

RIP "not really" means:

1) the person in question is not actually dead
2) I do not wish the person in question to rest in peace

that's the joke

Genius

i had no used for him but RIP

only if the “p” stands for piss

Have u all met our newest poster Οὖτις, let me introduce him to u

honestly best if he rests in peace, he would make a terrible zombie

I think his ideal passing would involve his corpse being used as a floatation device by Floridians displaced by rising ocean tides

Under Medicare For All, this piece of reactionary shit might have a chance to live and learn why he became a piece of reactionary shit. https://t.co/FqZi7GDvZW

We're desperate, not serious.

His ideal passing will be preceded by his medical costs leading to bankruptcy.

I hope he repents, finds peace, and brings some of his followers with him

into a wood chipper

but not a real wood chipper

It'd be a series of indiana jones traps we agree to call 'the wood chipper'

to whom will he pass his golden microphone?

finally the cancer got cancer

unfortunately there's a permafrost of horrible people ready to take his listeners for their podcasts and such (to wit, i know a woman who was on m*lo's show on friday) (we are not friends)

i had no used for him but RIP

I'll settle for "pieces."

i want to bowl at a fancy bowling alley with his preserved head

ILX POOL PARTY

i'm pretty sure this guy figured out how to grift opioid deafness, he'll probly do the same thing with advanced lung cancer. it's like trump with bk- if you're truly evil, the abyss just lets you do it.

eat shit rush limbaugh

Limbaugh's death wouldn't be a loss but it also wouldn't be worth celebrating. Now Trump's or McConnell's deaths, OTOH....

You can enjoy the death of more than one awful person at a time. Inarguable that this cunt paved the way for Trump in his own way.

well, yeah. he went out of his way to embrace the worst possible position on every social and political issue - just short of criminal or civil culpability. it was his trademark.

Calling that Taibbi tweet (and the linked essay) a "defense" of Rush Limbaugh isn't a fair reading.

i don't think taibbi's doing an accurate reading of rush limbaugh either

takes a very selective memory to believe for even the briefest seconds that limbaugh had an "anti-establishment" pov even if he ultimately characterizes it as an act

it's just very fucking insultingly dumb

there's zero reason to give matt taibbi the benefit of the doubt on anything

show that tweet to anyone who grew up gay in a household that listened to rush limbaugh and they would prob suggest that matt taibbi should stop shitting through his fingers

Posthumous pontifications about Rush Limbaugh that any more complex than 'should I aim directly for his mouth or just sort of hose down the entire corpse' can gtfo imho

I tried the day he died (but gave up because I'm old and technology confuses me) to screenshot + post the headlines from various news outlets that were all like 'that ornery rapscallion, he sure was controversial, but my goodness he was a broadcaster'. I like just kept dry heaving every time I read one.

Rush was “anti-establishment” the same way Trump, talking shit about GOP leadership, supporting Pat Buchanan against GHWB. i.e. not in a good way

Bring that Tweet Back.. https://t.co/mQiC7THxZw

Happy deadniversary, cunt

it was a good thing that he died, he should have died much earlier

He should have lived in obscurity and died alone.

Addition by subtraction.

It completely passed me by that this cunt died. So happy right now.

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
Makes me forget Rush Limbaugh died
Then when I find out he did I feel good

Addition by subtraction, that one.

I didn't know he got out of Vietnam by claiming an anal cyst as a dependent until last week when I was doing some reading on draft evaders.

Haha, I forgot that I had already posted that. Oh well, it deserves repeating.

Posts you had thoughts about and decided to post a second time

still waiting for someone to cough up the Limbaugh family email

"Limbaugh Family Email" would be a good punk song

I didn't know he got out of Vietnam by claiming an anal cyst as a dependent until last week when I was doing some reading on draft evaders.

And that anal cyst who nobody liked grew up to be...Tucker Carlson.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/03/bethany-mandel-define-woke-video-stolen-youth.html

Slate/Ismail: It’s hard for us to discuss terms like wokeness because there seems to be such a wide disparity in what people mean when they say it.

Mandel: I think that people see it in different ways. I see it as an insidious thing that’s happening in America, and other people see it as, um—

An answer to something that’s insidious in America.

Correct.

You say you hear that parents in general believe that the pendulum has swung too far. Is the anti-wokeness movement, and the overall production of so many right-leaning books, swinging the pendulum back too far?

We try not to categorize ourselves that way. We want to see ourselves as more wholesome. But also, our main book of the month was Rush Limbaugh. So, is that characterization necessarily like totally accurate? Obviously not. I’m just being totally honest. We see a hole in the market and I personally think every kid should know who Rush Limbaugh was because he was a very important person in our national discourse and our national dialogue in the media. And you can treat him as Che Guevara, like a saint. I just think it’s important for every kid in America to know who someone like Rush Limbaugh was.

i'm sorry that his ideas and his name are being forced to live on, but also, thank god that rush limbaugh is dead. got what a fucking asshole who really should have died many years earlier. we're lucky that he's not around to make our world worse today as "woke" exploded around the time he finally did one good thing and died

lol who treats Che like a saint

he's at best a face on a T-shirt

woke people, apparently (xpost)

Love her word salad when she's asked what she actually means by woke

LOL: Briahna Joy Gray BREAKS the brain of Rising guest Bethany Mandel by asking her to define "wokeness" pic.twitter.com/uwRSSH0LaM

"take your time" lol

Woke was born around the same time Rush Limbaugh died. Think about it.

Love whenever this thread gets a revive, reminds me Rush is dead

lol who treats Che like a saint

"They said he was a saint
But I know he ain't"

xp it's high time for a RIP Tucker Carlson thread, maybe it'll help speed things along

That thread is so overdue.
