Rush....advanced lung cancer

I don't support the death penalty, but there are people who I haven't lost sleep over being executed. Nuanced thinking...it's a difficult concept.

You know the Joker isn't the hero of The Dark Knight, right?

Not really, but if you say so.

I don't wish cancer on Limbaugh.

I wish Parkinsons on him.
And then to have a fat idiot that looks and sounds just like him mock his Parkinsons, and have a crowd of baying yahoos guffaw and honk with cruel joy at the impression.

And for him to gain empathy, and go "ohhh, that's what I do to people? I need to rethink life!".

Oh, wait, we've done this already.
He used to say all drug users should be locked up regardless of circumstances, and then he became an oxy addict, and then he never walked his old shit back, or apologized.
The whole empathy/realization thing was supposed to happen there, and he blew it.

Yeah, you had your chance, buddy.
Life threw all the tests at you , and you got Fs and D minuses, and skated by on the low grading curve of America.

So we should put you down for a gallon of piss for his grave?

He'll have to wait in line, like it's the premiere of Star Wars Episode I

Fast spreading that coronacancer.

You see what I want you to see.

Rush is a tub, so there will be plenty of room for people to piss on the half acre grave he is buried in.

Exactly. That's a person unable to control his hatred and rage. But.....feelings.

I really feel bad for some of you people here. Even worse for your families. Unreal.

Lecture someone else and while you’re at it shove your more in sorrow than anger passive aggressive act up your ass you hate filled hypocrite.

Not lecturing anyone. I simply feel sorry for you.

I don't like the thought of anyone suffering or dying unnecessarily, but lacking any personal or emotional connection to this guy (or even knowledge about him other than what I've read here and in the equivalent TNZ thread) I can't say he's registers with any greater impact on me than any other total stranger. On the other hand I've cried over the deaths of people in my care who on paper are much more hideous given their crimes whilst giving nothing but the most fleeting acknowledgement of true paragons who were unknown to me.

Hundreds of people have died in China over the last few weeks due to a new and unknown virus and frankly I've seen comments here and there which sound distinctly like gloating. Mr Limbaugh is, to me, no different from any of them, a human being whose path never crossed mine and ultimately that's all most of the human race will ever be, good, bad or indifferent.

Limbaugh started conservative talk radio here in the states back in the 80s. He's the grandaddy of today's conservative propaganda machine. His fans are particularly immune to reason.

LOL no, never

I think it would be much worse for you to be alive

"What are the odds?"

Yeah, what kind of scumbag would wish death and suffering on innocent people?

Right?Jesus Christ, whatever happened to basic decency?

Also:

I feel bad for Limbaugh, about as bad as I do for anyone else who smoked for decades and then get lung cancer. Maybe a little less bad because he peddled the myth that smoking wasn’t actually bad for you.

But I am absolutely gleeful at the prospect that his listeners will no longer have him.

I'm sure they'll find someone who can dish up hate filled bowls of intellectually vacuous comfort food.

I hope people treat him with the same understanding and compassion that he gave everyone else.

The thing with lung cancer is, you can quit smoking for 20 years or more and if it's gonna get you, it's gonna get you. I lost an uncle and a friend, both of whom quit smoking in their 50s, but the disease caught up with them at age 69 and 72 respectively.

I once transcribed an oncology seminar. Some of the most noted experts in the field. One lung cancer doc (who didn't know the mic was hot) said: "You can suck nicotine into your lungs for as little as a year, and if the cells decide to mutate 30 years later, you're fucked."

Amen to that.

If you quit smoking, 15 years later your risk for coronary heart disease is the same as someone else your age that never smoked. 20 years after quitting your risk for death from lung cancer and pancreatic cancer is the same as someone else your age that never smoked.

I quit smoking 15 years ago.

I will say this much for Limbaugh: he made the general population aware of the leftist/liberal/progressive/whatever they're calling themselves this week bias in the major media.

There are some things you never wish on anyone.

I'd never wish Rush Limbaugh on cancer.

Poor cancer.

Maybe Mark Steyn will have his own show! Dude is fucking hilarious, smart as fuck with that dry Brit humor. When he is a Rush "guest host" he's awesome!

Good for you. I wish you, and any other former smoker here, a long and healthy life.

Why are you so full of hate?
