OT Rush Limbaugh, conservative media icon, dead at 70 following battle with cancer (2 Viewers)

[Lanny]

Because apparently you missed my first post where I said that Kobe was a piece of shit and was widely mourned.

Rush's death is apparently celebrated.

You don't see a problem with that?

Give me a pico second to think about that. The answer is no.

First of all - I started this thread and it’s about Rush Limbaugh. Not Kobe. So yes fuck Limbaugh on his way out to wherever he goes after the cancer takes his life. I saw Kobe do a lot of fucking great things in his life that impacted millions of people. As for his rape allegation, I don’t have an opinion on that because I don’t know the facts. I’ve read articles and heard stories. If he made that huge mistake and never did anything again for years until he died, I can reconcile that in my head. Rush was a piece of garbage for fifty years.

So again, what are your thoughts on the death penalty?

I’m all for it if we are 100% certain of guilt of a crime that warrants death. So? What’s your point?

I'm against the death penalty. It goes against my religion.
You want me to explain the dichotomy? Nobody's perfect especially when driven to extremes

The irony....

Well we have established your baseline. Hateful speech warrants death.

 

[Lanny]

The irony....

I explained this already.

 

[calvin natt]

Hateful speech that creates more hate, spreads hate, is abusive to women, black people? Yes. Please get off your high horse that it’s “just words”. Words matter.

 

[Lanny]

Well we have established your baseline. Hateful speech warrants death.

Good, welcome aboard.

 

[Natebishop3]

Good, welcome aboard.

His baseline.

 

[Natebishop3]

That you're a hypocrite. I got you.

I don’t want to speak for Calvin but “warrants death” seems too much. For me it’s more like, I just don’t care or have sympathy that he is dying

 

[Natebishop3]

I don’t want to speak for Calvin but “warrants death” seems too much. For me it’s more like, I just don’t care or have sympathy that he is dying

That's very different from what he's saying though.

You’re right

 

[calvin natt]

Thanks but it’s true. I’ll be happy when he’s dead.

I oppose the death penalty.

This is the kind of news that makes being a hmanist hard. Honestly can't feel sympathy for this hateful person who made a career of inciting bigotry. I don't cheer because I don't want to be a person who cheers painful death.

Not sure if Rush invented calling supporters of women's rights "feminazis" or just spread it. Always found the term ironic since he supported every part of Nazis platform on women:

End coeducation, confine girls'education to domestic subjects. Kick women out of college. No careers for women, just kitchen, church, children. Outlaw birth control and abortion. Germany was the birthplace of early research on sexual variation, those researchers were arrested and their books burned. Gay clubs shut down. Rigid gender roles in dress and appearance. Rape not prosecuted. Subservience of women the law. Anything there he wouldn't approve?

 

[Lanny]

That you're a hypocrite. I got you.

Now, you're committing the sin of placing words in my mouth without checking it out with me first. I'm no more of a hypocrite than you are.
I have already attempted in vain to explain to you my reasoning which you either didn't bother to read or didn't somehow comprehend.

 

[calvin natt]

I just hope Rush lives another few weeks so he can see Trump get his ass kicked. After that, he can die.

Yeah but we can’t hate him.

You can. You may.

Cran gets it.

So here's what I don't understand...

I don't listen to Rush. Never have. Not really into AM radio politics.

Outside of the fact that this dude is a conservative provocateur, what has he done that's so bad that people would be happy about his death? People mourned Kobe and that dude was an ACTUAL piece of shit.

Did you mourn kobe?

 

[RR7]

What always bothers me is, someone dying shouldn't mean we rewrite who they were the entire time they lived. Good and bad. If someone is a general piece of shit their entire life, on their death bed, nobody should have to feign sympathy.

 

[Natebishop3]

Did you mourn kobe?

Nope. I thought the way that he died, as well as all the other people on that helicopter, was terribly sad. And more so I felt very sorry for those girls who lost their father, but I also thought the selective memory about Kobe was also very weak. I didn't know him.

There's a difference between being sympathetic and being actively happy and celebrating that someone died.

 

[wizenheimer]

There's a difference between being sympathetic and being actively happy and celebrating that someone died.

of course there's a difference

but that's not what some are arguing. How big a difference is there between NOT having any sympathy and being just fine with him dying?

personally, I don't give a shit. He was a hateful piece of shit person, and he made millions from being a hateful piece of shit. And he's almost 70 so he's had a full piece of shit life

 

[RR7]

And there's a difference between saying fuck him and rooting for a horrible death. You seemed to stretch most of the responses into something to fit your rant. Most are just unsympathetic to a shit bag, the same way you didn't mourn for kobe.

 

[RR7]

Did you go on a similar rant after rbg died, and how happy some on the right were to claim her seat, or do you just do this for complaining about the left?

Point me to the thread on here where people were celebrating her death.
