this dude really was so instrumental in putting the GOP on the path from dogwhistles to explicitly yelling the ‘quiet’ part. I feel like by the time Obama was in office the Fox white power opinion hour had caught up w him and then by Trump basically shot past him, but he had a good decade and a half run where he was the voice of vanguard. what a piece of shit.

i went on a cemetery walk with a friend of mine together who said that when she was a kid, her extremely left leaning mother (who died when my friend was a teen) use to put on rush in the car to get hype and just start cursing

it's alrightcos he's saved on the gay(thread)

Don't count on it, unless by "saved" you mean "saved for extreme ridicule and wishing his death had come earlier"

people who defend him in any way = a good litmus test for whether or not they have significant stock in patriarchal white supremacy imo.
― lord of the ting tings (map), Friday, 19 February 2021 17:44 (five years ago)
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.
― DJI, Friday, 19 February 2021 19:34 (five years ago)
i don't think taibbi's doing an accurate reading of rush limbaugh either
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 19 February 2021 19:41 (five years ago)
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
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 19 February 2021 19:42 (five years ago)
it's just very fucking insultingly dumb
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 19 February 2021 19:43 (five years ago)
there's zero reason to give matt taibbi the benefit of the doubt on anything
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 February 2021 19:45 (five years ago)
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
