Well I think that when a historically significant villian dies its just as big a news event as when a historically significant hero dies.

 

There is a straight line from Limbaugh to the former president guy. 

News, yes, positive comments about the guy, no.

What a repugnant post. Celebrating someone's death because they don't hold the same opinions as you.

 

Unfortunately we often see this type of vitriol when the mask slips from the virtue signaling left. Disgraceful.

He was strung out and that makes for a terrible person. Add the hatred, the lying the hurt. Supported a very terrible President to a fault. Good riddance, he suffered and God has a special place for Rush.

Good news ......  and if you answer, please don't be hypocritical !

Your response doesn't answer my question. 

 

"Why is Conservative talk radio so popular? I only ever listened to one liberal station out of the Bay Area, but way more conservative radio celebrities in Ca. "

 

I grew up just east of SF and I only found one liberal kind of talk radio station and it was so bad for reception. These conservative talk shows don't condone or incite violence, but it's an old stand by line for the liberals. 

Link please

As much as I hate to agree, at least on AM radio in the Bay Area, conservative nut jobs dominate the airwaves.

Yeah, why can't they all take a cue from the former President's respectful attitude toward late political opponent McCain (and his family)....

[puck2]

The problem is not Limbaugh, the problem is and will be FOX and Murdoch.

 

He , M., needs people like L. to attract viewers  ..ehm --- for money making. Truth and ethics are deposited into the dustbin, the company's guideline. Lies and affronts are easier to sell, because they attract more people. It sais a lot about fans of L. and Fox.

 

Being sad about the dead of such an ..... ? Maybe it's the new American moral.

Too bad, so sad. My grieving was over as soon as i read who had died.

I used to fall asleep with the TV on when I was a kid and it was often Rush. That or 'Cheers.'

Didn't ever see a TV show?

@JonnyF

 

Trump conduct was defended by his supporters on this forum and elsewhere. Not bothering to check your own comments from back then, maybe someone else would. Could be funny.

[Walker88]

The guy usually celebrated the deaths of people whose opinions he didn't like, such as smart people, patriots, decent human beings, etc. He used to say 'assumed room temperature'.

 

He was a racist, misogynist, carnival barker who fomented racism and ignorance and appealed to the lowest rung of society.

 

Celebration is a harsh word. Let's say my feelings mirror what I felt when Osama bin Laden or Abu Musab al Zarqawi 'assumed room temperature'. On balance, I would say that guy did more overall harm that bin Laden or al-Zarqawi.

 

The world is instantly better with his nonsense off the air forever.

 

I'm not a believer, but sometimes I think there should be a Hell, because guys like him deserve to spend eternity there.

I’m reminded of a quote that goes something like, “I’ve never killed a man, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

There is a delightful irony in that idea - particularly if you subscribe to the belief that Almighty God is tolerant merciful, forgiving and as reported by St John the Evangelist (chapter 14 verse 2) "My fathers house has many rooms". All concepts which were somewhat at odds with Mr Limbaugh's broadcasts!

I don't see the same numbers on the left. The right wing media outlets are the worst for spewing hate and lies. No denying that unless you only listen to their fake news.

It works both ways don't you think!  It never fails another person who want to come across as fair and balance rarely is how I know " I don't see the same numbers on the left "  end of story!  " No denying that unless you only listen to their fake news "

I hope there is an underground elevator to hell.

 

Im sure im going there but dont want to be on the lower levels with ... like that.

 

People usually like to aspire and hope they have a good legacy.  Some hiccups along the way are accepted.

 

He is diametrically opposed to that. His vitriol left the world a worse place, and he enjoyed that.

Ok. Give me some examples from the left. Not just one. As you well know, it's super easy to come up with examples on the right.

 

Anyway, talk about biased....right.

Why? Because it is giving vent to the justified frustration/anger within the working middle class. Sad that far too many look to Republicans to address the issue ... yes, and far too Democrats as both parties are bought and paid for by the money interests in the American political system ...

Well put. Gets old hearing one side bash the other. Both are terrible. Reform is desperately needed.

 

The amount of money spent on the Georgia senate races was insane.

I will give "Rush" the same amount of respect and dignity that HE showed for rape victims, Michael J Fox, Sandra Fluke, Iraq War, Veterans, Refugees, and the victims of mosque shootings.

Rush was very honest about what he was and he didn't give a toss. I respect that even if I don't agree with his opinions.

 

It's the hand wringing, self loathing, "liberal", virtue signaling hard left luvvies who shout from the rooftops about how righteous they are who are the hypocrites. Some of the comments on this thread are great examples of how quickly their nasty, distasteful side becomes so apparent as soon as someone they disagree with passes away. Hardly the moral high ground is it, reveling in someone's death...

 

This thread is gold, rarely have I seen a better example of their hypocrisy. The fact they don't see it makes the irony even more delicious ????

 

Keep it coming.????

Sad times when someone respects an individual who lies, berates others and spreads conspiracy theories. Shows why the US is in such bad shape.

 

Typical of his supporters. Deny, deflect, and blame  "liberals ". Doubt you even know what a liberal is, much less liberal policies.
