    I predict that this thread will become a model for grace and class.

    I have the same amount of empathy and sympathy for that nasty gasbag that he showed for people who disagreed with him.

    It was bound to come, with stage IV cancer. He held on for a while, but the end can't be put off forever.

    Believe it or not, I never once heard him. I heard a lot about him, but he simply wasn't among the people I listened to.

    Pretty much that and that for me.
    :shrug:

    Any one of his defenders, if you suddenly swung left, and then got a terminal disease, you think Rush would be nice to you?
    Please.

    He devoted his life to what he believed in.

    Namely, making the world a worse place.

    Well, Hell just got a bit worse.

    As for GhostEcho, fuck off. The guy had none, he deserves none. In the improbable scenario that he had people who loved him, I can feel sorry for them. For several reasons.

    I generally tend to think these "media" talk show type people aren't the best human beings (and that goes for both left and right) - their main intent being to rile people up, many times with flat out lies or harmful generalizations, all in the name of ratings and more money. They generally don't care about the scorched earth they leave behind, instead just continue to seek more earth to scorch. They present themselves as informed, journalistic type people when all they really are is well paid entertainers that don't contribute much of anything to society that's positive

    I think the net effect of these people has been quite terrible and they are a huge reason as to why we face a lot of the troubles we do today

    So while I don't celebrate his death, I don't think anything of value has been lost here

    This country and world are a worse place because of his existence (or more accurately what he did with his existence).

    Unfortunately the damage is already done so his passing won’t make it any better.

    So a big ‘meh’ from me.

    Never mind.



    The tweets are moving me from ‘meh’ to ‘finally some value from Limbaugh’.

    I expect nothing more from an amoral anti-American such as @Paladin but it was my understanding you don’t approve of Trump and what he has done to your country.

    You can’t disapprove of Trump without doing the same to Limbaugh. Trump was a symptom of the infection Limbaugh and the Far Right Outrage Echo Chamber he was central to creating brought to America.

    Just got reminded of the Sandra Fluke slut-shaming incident, plus apparently he called Obama a "Halfrican-American" and used to joke that composite photos of police suspects all looked like Jesse Jackson.

    Yeah, @GhostEcho... fuck even further off. And when you get there, fuck off again. Keep doing that till your legs have worn down to stumps.

    I'd bet that GhostEcho is one of those shits who says he doesn't approve of Trump, even though his voting record likely says otherwise.

    So, yeah. What @matthunter said.

    I don’t have to celebrate someone’s death or be glad they died a horrible death if I didn’t like them or what they did in life.

    When the books about the dissolution of the United States are written, how much ink do you think Limbaugh and the Far Right Outrage Echo Chamber he was central to creating will get?

    How many Americans do you think are dead because of him?

    I had no idea, but then, I never listen to Limbaugh.

    The company for whom I work, manufactures a drug to address the affects of Parkinson's.

    And, to address the detachment of the majority of workers with the knowledge of the importance of what we do, the company has published (within the intranet) a series of videos in which employees visited the homes of patients. The videos of the Parkinson's patients are the hardest and most disturbing to watch. But, what Limbaugh not only doesn't understand, but obliviously chooses to overlook, is that the range of symptoms and involuntary reactions to disease vary so widely as to say every patient has distinctive reactions that are specific to that person. Fox's involuntary reactions may look silly to someone who not only has no understanding of a disease, but also chooses to be a fucking ass about it.

    Fuck him. May he rot in hell.

    Remember, as the covid carcasses pile to the sky, don't also offend Ghostecho's dainty sensibilities.
    Be like stoic robots.
    Y'know, like rightforge always were...oh, wait, no.
    Eat all the dicks, Ghostecho.
