On the other hand, when this serial divorcer, draft dodger and lover of Dominican little boys gets his call from the Lord to leave this world, there will be parades and breaking out of champagne. He is stone evil.

A very large piece of drug addled human excrement.

May all of the agonizing pain in the world be visited upon Limbaugh - for a hundred times as long as he can stand it.

Oxycontin Boy has his far-right wingnut, demons, so he should just STFU.

They’re never happy, are they? They’re always angry about something. No matter what they get, they’re always angry,"

Projection, thy name is Rush Limbaugh.

“The thing I worry about, I really do, they’re making such heroism out of this that I hope it doesn’t inspire a lot of copycats by people seeking the same kind of fame,” he said. “To kill yourself is one way to get the media to spend a lot of time talking about you, if you want to be talked about.”

Hey Rush why don’t you give it a try and see if we are talking about you.

A left leaning person with depression could easily see no other way out, the tragic and dramatic destruction of the country under the guise of Christianity and Free Market Profitizing, is enough to add additional darkness to an already dark silence when trying to figure things out. Nope righty if it was politics it was because people like you drove him to it.

But likely as not it had nothing to do with you or your politics or his politics, it had to do with major imbalances in his thinking and his brain chemistry, but that involves science so you wouldn’t understand.

There are lots of addicts like Rush who have no sympathy whatsoever for the plight of other addicts. It doesn’t make sense, but, hell, Limbaugh doesn’t even try to make sense ever, anymore. He just talks, and uses his assured tone the haters mistake for smart and correct.

The rightist attitude, or should I call it philosophy, is to be maximally assholic as often as you can at the most inappropriate times.

“Now, what is the left’s worldview in general? What is it?”

It’s a cute question in a time when the GOP controls the House and finds itself completely unable to govern because the right believes in nothing, except for demonization of the left.

You know, there are those that want us to believe that Rush is an entertainer - that there’s nothing behind the facade he displays on the radio. That he’s a genuinely nice guy when he’s not behind the microphone. His show is all ‘just in fun’.

I have a real hard time with that image when he can be quoted as saying something as vile as this.

He’s been watching entirely too many cartoons to even consider the possibility that one as depressed as Robin was, took his own life by hanging himself so that people would talk about him. Robin’s gone, ee-jit. Dead. No more. His ears, by default, are no longer working. He can’t hear or see the tributes - the genuine, loving tributes, along with the idiotically stupid ones like Rush’s - that are pouring from around the world.

How does someone this stupid, this capable of making such a stupid bunch of statements as Rush as done about Robin’s passing - how does someone this ridiculous manage to get out of bed in the morning without hurting himself?

“Now, what is the left’s worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they? They’re always angry about something. No matter what they get, they’re always angry,” Limbaugh continued.

This is extraordinarily rich coming from a very wealthy, obese drug addict who is on his third marriage. Clearly, money hasn’t brought him happiness nor has it assuaged his anger in the slightest. His misery is plain for all to see.

Was Rush always like this? Or was he a conservative-ish guy who realized the big money was in fleecing the denizens of the Bubble? Was his show ever even-handed?

I am reminded of one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes—

“I have never killed a man, but I have read several obituaries with approval.”

I guess Ann Coulter wasn’t available to comment.

guess we have to realize that Rush is just engaging in one of his favorite grotesque activities - “Tragedy Surfing” - when ever there it a tragic event that draws nearly all of the media attention - he steps in and makes some contrived bombastic statement - loaded with all the code words and venom to get everyone’s attention and snag a ride on the tragic event’s momentum.

I knew he’d be saying something vile about this today, as surely as the sun rises and shit stinks. Because he, more than any other person, is responsible for the normalization, among conservatives, of the idea that any kind of decent impulse, or any empathy for another person, any concern for the kind of world we’re leaving left to the kids, any kind of human warmth, any concern for anyone at all other than than people who are just like you is a leftist political statement. He, above all, is responsible for the rage and derisive rejection of the very word “empathy” as some kind of evil liberal plot to pick the pockets of hard working white people. And, of course, most corrosive of all, his so-called humor has done more to validate and destigmatize racism and prejudice and out and out hate than any other figure in American history since “Birth of a Nation” was released.

He had to do this simply because he can’t bear to see any sympathy or concern or grief for anyone other than aging conservative men without politicizing it and deliberately defiling it. The man is to politics as a debilitating virulently infectious disease is to public health. Were he to disappear tomorrow, the damage he has done to my country would still be irreversible.
