Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh dies at 70

Conservative talk show radio host and Republican party icon Rush Limbaugh has died. He was 70 years old.

His wife Kathryn announced his passing on his radio show Wednesday, saying Limbaugh died earlier this morning.

“Rush will forever be the greatest of all time,” she said.

Limbaugh had been battling advanced lung cancer since February.

Back in October, Limbaugh provided this somber update on his show: “You know, I wake up every day and thank God that I did. I go to bed every night praying I’m gonna wake up. I don’t know how many of you do that, those of you who are not sick, those of you who are not facing something like I and countless other millions are.”

Former President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom during his most recent State of the Union address

This appearance only a few days after his he revealed his diagnosis on his show.

“I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with this, but the upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer,” Limbaugh said in February.

“The Rush Limbaugh Show” first aired in 1988.

this post is the exact same shit that progressives wrote about the establishment democrats and conservatives during the election cycle. change out a couple of words and it will fit neatly into your average twitter post from early 2020 complaining about how the democrats keep going high while the republicans go low and how they should recognize that politics is about power and the conservatives are the enemy blah blah blah. American politics increasingly resemble this to a stupid degree

"Don't you see you're acting just like the other side! Both sides are the same"

Not sure what your actual point is but the 'enlightened centrist' schtick is dumb. Not a single thing has ever been gained in politics by pointing out hypocrisy. Nobody cares. They want to win. You complain about neo-con boomers but you act just like one when you think "Heh, I'll just point out the leftist isn't practicing what he preaches, now he'll have to admit he's wrong" for the millionth time while they move on to teaching your kids that white people are demons in public schools.

Comparing the reactions to Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death to Rush Limbaugh’s is dishonest.

How? I remember people being pretty fucking happy about Bader's death. Considering Mitch then proceeded in record time put in another Judge, a 3rd Judge, 40 days from election. Same with John McCain after he fucked over Trump.

With Rush, who gives a shit. There are 10 more shock jocks to fill his shoes and doesn't create a consequence for 40 years.

I was pointing out your delusion over what the state of the left and right are while you use a dead meme that politispergs like you fall back on whenever they get theyre panties in a twist and want a easy way out of an arguement. you can always tell that youre talking to braindead idealogues when they hyperfocus on something that they can turn into ''LMAO ENGLIGHTENED CENTRIST xD''. you have nothing to say except participating in cuckservative victimhood.

After reading up on Limbaugh with no previous knowledge of him here is my conclusion:

He was a generous man who truly believed in America, but was also a pompous ass who could get caught up in hysteria. He labeled himself a Libertarian, but was effectively a neoconservative who embraced moral panics that lead to him supporting wars and extreme prejudice.

Comparing the reactions to Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death to Rush Limbaugh’s is dishonest.

Why? He was important to the progressives and Cons laughed. Same basic format.

Sure thing buddy, "it's different when we do it".

Rush was not a member of the highest judicial branch in the land, but ugly kike bitch Ruth was.

No comparison what so ever.

You want to gravedance, go ahead, but don’t even try to justify it with that shit comparison......

Even though we know you will, it’s all you got.

Man, my fingers are getting soystained scrolling through this thread.

So then stop spilling your soy over your mouse and keyboard, put it in a sippy cup or something.

Also, quoting myself to demonstrate what predictable retards republicucks are, and how they never read the thread because "muh read hard!!!"

They'll never acknowledge the hypocrisy because to them there is none, this scenario is completely different. Its not, obviously, but you feel "its different" when the corpse belonged to someone you've formed a parasocial relationship with. Fags dying of avoidable disease is funny, but its not funny when radio daddy dies of avoidable disease because INSERT BOTTOMLESS SUPPLY OF RATIONALIZATIONS HERE.

And so here you are, contributing to that bottomless supply of rationalizations.

I'm not gravedancing. I barely know who Rush Limbaugh is and don't care either way that he died. I'm fine with people gravedancing him, and I'm fine with people being disgusted at gravedancing on him. It's just funny watching these mental gymnastics from the same kind of people who use the "It's okay when we do it" meme like it only applies to leftists.

Is there a right-wing buzzword you guys use in place of 'false equivalency' when your hypocrisy gets noticed, or do you not mind sharing that one with the blue checkmarks?

By your own design, your only asset is your ability to have sex. If you haven't already rendered yourself worthless, you'll have done so within the next five years.

Just quote Patrice O'Neal and be done already.

 

[The best and greatest]

I don't know why anyone would cheer the death of a cog like Rush. Its not like his timely demise marks the end of his ilk or ways of thinking, if anything they've wildly proliferated over the past decade.

This thread is a dumpster fire of autism. Keep it going boiz!

 

[Socrates]

Meh. Stepping into the dogfighting arena that is politics makes you fair game in my eyes. This is no more gratuitous than people celebrating RBG finally running out of adrenochrome. Clutching pearls over what bloodthirsty politispergs say online is dumb.

 

[Wormy]

Whining about how the left are being mean to Rush Limbaugh after his death is pointless because it's been very clear that they don't see conservatives as fellow citizens anymore.

Yea. We're ahead of the curve and knew the right wing don't consider anyone to the left of your average right wing talk show host as citizens, but Communists to be outed if not killed. Not our fault we picked up the vibe of our enemies faster than you did.

why did you have to reply to his gayness with something that is arguably even more gay?

Because that bullshit burns my biscuits.

I remember listening to Rush with my dad driving around town back in the 90's when I was a teen. Say what you will about his politics he most definitely crafted and honed the art of conservative talk radio into it's golden age. There won't be another one like him for some time if ever. Rest in peace.

I think he's considered a pioneer of the genre - even "liberal/left" wing talk radio hosts owe him that one, since they basically emulated his formula for their own success.

Didn't Howard Stern claim to have "pretty much given that fat pig his whole career?" I always wondered what the basis of that was.

Let's see: two consenting adults are having sex, making sure they're protected from disease and unplanned pregnancy. And this is a problem because...? Is it because they're getting their bc provided via insurance? Or is it simply because they're *gasp* not married?

In this day and age, surely we've gone beyond this mindset.

what the hell are you going on about

Your sperging a few pages ago about how birth control promotes promiscuity. Which is too fucking backwards even for A & N.

No, she's responding to the comment where I point out that you operate as though you're massively coping with being a loose collection of orifices. If you're right, then I'm even more justified in asking what the hell she's talking about, but you're not.
