RIP Rush Limbaugh

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'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.

Yeah Rush was an OG brainworm disseminator. Lots of your run of the mill Reagan Republicans (my dad, for one) evolved into a full-on lunatics, all before Fox ever established the dominance it enjoys today. imo his influence in our political discourse is incalculable.

"Ditto-heads" iirc.

so when is the cancer getting Rush Limbaugh removed

Points taken, but I wonder if the current toxic climate of right-wing fascism isn't more Bill O'Reilly's/Rupert Murdoch's/Roger Ailes's doing than someone on a format that lost its relevance over a decade ago. I mean, I'm not exactly UNhappy about Limbaugh's impending demise, but he seems like a small-time con man compared to News Corp.'s Mafia family of awfulness.

^^ Quality zing, though. One to frame for display purposes.

someone on a format that lost its relevance over a decade ago

"Who cares about talk radio? Nobody I know listens to that shit!"

Limbaugh is pretty much responsible for converting a few generations of people who drive around much of the day for their work to hard core conservatism

yeah I suspect Limbaugh’s syndication and huge audience in the late-80s - 90s supported the viability of an entire cable news channel dedicated to racist white grievance

i have the bandwidth to celebrate the demise of even the small time assholes (wish Rush isn’t).

*which

News -- President Trump told network anchors during a private lunch today that he will award Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom, one day after the prominent political radio host announced he has advanced lung cancer.https://t.co/Entc5UTXKm

say what you will, but that man knows how to pander

Do we in the UK have any media figures as hated as this? The malice oozing from this thread sure is a welcome distraction from imminent slow apocalypse, would like to match it.

I personally blame Rush Limbaugh for radicalizing my dad. Hundreds, thousands of hours spent listening to his putrid hateful bullshit

Usually I’m somewhat sympathetic to dee’s take above on speaking ill of the dying, but Limbaugh built his empire on hatred, and it’s still growing. So yeah, fuck him

plus the number of individually identifiable people, let alone groups, Rush has spoken ill of must be in the millions

"Do we in the UK have any media figures as hated as this?"

Incidentally, had not heard this song in the wild for over two decades until I was in CVS this afternoon, am now forced to assume that their music programmer must be a lurker

wanna see you 'gree with me

a good thing about that stupid medal is that it’s sort of opened the floodgates for pointing out all of the horrible qualities possessed by this horrible man who helped get the us to this particular awful point. so, silver lining?

from CNN's awful story with the banner headline:

"El Rushbo," who announced to his millions of listeners on Monday his stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, is regarded as a bigot and extremist by many Democrats. His populist streak and mastery of flaming political rhetoric was in many ways a precursor to the President's own political brand.

'by many Democrats'?!?

Is it just me or are national news orgs very quickly dispensing with even the facile illusion of journalistic objectivity?

hey maybe he'll wake up in an opioid haze, think the medal is a foil-wrapped treat and choke on it before his lungs can kill him

having been unfortunate enough to spend most of my first forty years living in the rural and suburban American midwest and American south, I join others attesting to the omnipresence of this pustule. at your apartment complex's office, waiting in line at a uhaul office, getting your haircut in mayor pete's town, this guy's cant would find you, incessant and lowing. may we rest in peace.

woke people, apparently (xpost)

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

"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

That thread is so overdue.
