    First set of scumbags I have come across. You don't have to like the man, you don't have to smile, and hell, don't even have to offer condolences. You could do the right thing and offer solemn condolences. They choose disrespect the day the man dies. Like I said - true colors.

    Believe these things until your heart is content. But absolutely no need to point things out and state things in such a manner the day he does and while his family and friends are coming to terms with his death and grieving.

    Rush Limbaugh, Bigoted King Of Talk Radio, Dies At 70

    Limbaugh saturated America’s airwaves with cruelty and conspiracies, amassing millions of listeners and transforming the Republican Party.

    As a non-listener F/T, I do agree. There's a reason he received his award, and the left would never agree due to viewpoints. But the man was 70 years old and spent 50 of those years on the radio. And he certainly did have an amazing way of getting across to people. He was also a TV icon at one point and don't forget also wrote many books and 2 best sellers. I don't need to have been a full time listener to know this.

    Evil Leftists Do Not Hold Back Celebrating the Death of Conservative Legend Rush Limbaugh

    Conservative icon Rush Limbaugh has passed away at the age of 70 — and within minutes of the announcement the left began openly celebrating on Twitter.
    Limbaugh had been battling lung cancer.

    There was no pretend civility as the news broke and the left promptly exposed just how much bloodlust they have for the right.











    Many comments claimed that “hell just got fuller” or declared that they are celebrating the “good news.”

    “It’s easy to make fun of Rush Limbaugh right now, but it’s important to remember that he also brought a lot of people a lot of joy by dying,” self-described “comedian” and writer Mike Drucker tweeted.



    “Rush Limbaugh, who became one the nation’s most popular conservative radio talk-show hosts and who was often criticized by many as being both a racist and misogynist, died today at 70,” PBS monster and activist Yamiche Alcindor wrote.

    “Rush Limbaugh was the father of hate-filled, partisan, talk radio. He is responsible for setting off a chain reaction of disinformation, vitriol and division in main stream media,” some verified nobody named Linz DeFranco tweeted.

    “Look, I know people are gonna spend the day pointing out what a piece of shit Rush Limbaugh was & how much damage he did to our country through his decades-long celebration of white supremacy & hate speech, and how his lies & conspiracy theories undercut trust in real journalism,” a writer for John Oliver’s deeply unfunny show chimed in.

    Very sad anytime our country loses an institution of sorts. The affiliation matters not. What matters is the size of that institution and the reach and what it meant to those masses.

    His passing Tore me up....
    .................................................. ...

    "Rush Limbaugh opened the final show of 2020 on Wednesday by reflecting on what's important."

    "Back in late January when I received this diagnosis — and I was shocked," Limbaugh said. "I was stunned, and I was in denial for about a week. I mean, I’m Rush Limbaugh.

    I’m Mister Big of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. I mean, I’m indestructible. I said, “This can’t be right,” but it was.

    What I didn’t know at the time that I learned later in the course of the year was that I wasn’t expected to be alive today."

    "I wasn’t expected to make it to October and then to November and then to December — and yet here I am," Limbaugh continued.

    "Today I’ve got some problems, but I’m feeling pretty good today. God’s with me today. God knows how important this program is to me today, and I’m feeling natural in terms of energy, normal in terms of energy, and I’m feeling entirely capable of doing it today."

    Well, we all knew that this was coming... he was battling terminal cancer for a while now.

    I was first exposed to him in the early 90's driving truck around south central AK, and since all the rig had was an AM radio, that's what I listened to.

    I didn't know it at the time, but only having a crappy AM radio was a blessing because if I'd had the choice, I'd have been tuned in to a local FM rock station. So instead of listening to admittedly good tunes, instead I was thinking about important issues. Rush was really giving Clinton hell and it was glorious.

    His parodies were absolute gold! Paul Shanklin, a conservative singer/songwriter parody artist who was very gifted at impersonations, got past the screeners and onto the show with Rush... took him a while to figure that out but instead of being pissed, he promoted him big-time. I can't remember if Shanklin was impersonating Clinton or Gore, but it was very convincing.

    Seeing the ignorance of the left doesn't surprise me. Rush was never hateful or racist - and anyone who ever listened to him would know that. Scornful? Yes. But no hate. You had to do and say deserving things to earn his scorn, and liberals generally have a knack of providing such material on a daily basis.

    Possibly the his largest shortcoming would have been his ego. He definitely had that, but I believe he exaggerated that to enrage his detractors. He reveled in tweaking disjointed liberal noses, and it made for great entertainment and turned himself into a lightning rod for liberal attacks for 3 decades - he was smarter than any of them and always made sure to bring on to his show any prominent lib for a debate.

    And he always won. Every time. In spectacular fashion. And that made them hate him more. Trump knew this, and giving him the Medal on National TV was a masterful stroke that drove the moonbats into a blind rage.

    RIP, Rush. You were a great American. Thank you for untold hours of educational entertainment and your service to America.

    Default Loved hearing him since the EVIL Clinton days.

    It was Rush who made me aware of the TRUELY EVIL leftist radicals who are all over this nation. Like those who are Cheering his Passing.

    But the Joke's on them. WE WILL ALL BE LAUGHING AT THEM when they finally realize how BIDEN OBAMA, AND ALL OF THE DNC WITH CLINTON...bury all of them in their own WASTE because they were SO IGNORANT they didn't know they were IGNORANT.

    RIP RUSH. Your words will HAUNT all of the haters until they take their final DIRT NAP in the sewers of STUPIDITY that feed the SLUDGE of the WASHINGTON SWAMP.

    Sad news. A great voice voice in America. I thought of him during the 2021 Super Bowl, over the years he reflected on how advertisers would present their message and reach their target audience. I think the 2021 Super Bowl was the only time I’ve seen a Huggies commercial, yikes!
    He started a national industry with talk radio many were able to follow his lead. His perspective on current events of the next few years will certainly be missed.

    Rest In Peace Rush

    Rush spoke truth--"they hate that"..
    They tried to destroy him--tried to destroy the truth.
    Now the same totally worthless vermin will try to totally destroy his legacy...
    These same ffing scum, that are worth no more than spit on the sidewalk.
    These same asshats now celebrating showing their true colors, their hatred, their blindness, their inherent evil.
    I spit on all of the rotten hearts, minds , souls that march under the vile, corrupt, deluded and totally wicked banner.
    And yes, I know the same stinking vermin despise and hate me--
    as one can not avoid that ire, that result-- when speaking the truth about them.
    And they gloat now with their corrupt and totally dishonorable POS puppet serving as President.-Tyr

    Gee, what happened to all the lecturing about hate speech and, what was it?, speech being violence? Why aren’t these people being canceled from social media for being a bunch of hate filled trolls?

    If anyone needs proof that, in order to be a card carrying member of the Left, you must sell your soul to Satan and let go of your humanity these posts are it.
