Limbaugh Spews Homophobic Drivel About Buttigieg After Receiving Medal Of Freedom

Fresh off of President Donald Trump awarding him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh mocked 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg for being openly gay on Wednesday.

Is it now OK to wish him a slow and painful death, and dance on his grave afterwards?

I don’t care if it’s OK or not. I take enormous pleasure in the thought of him dying ugly.

Pete Buttigieg will be gay bashed; Bernie Sanders will be red baited if either one is the Democratic nominee. And it will be effective.

That headline is perfect. Its truthful. Instead of the vague “Radio host, recently diagnosed with cancer, makes controversial remarks about candidates sexual identity.” Its “yet again dumbass is a dumbass”.

At what point does hyperbole factor into this discussion anymore? Is it over-the-top to call out a gov’t for its blatant corruption? Is it unethical to employ some of the tactics used by fake-news to further the dissemination of the actually real?

Limbaugh received the medal of freedom for freely wearing his bigotry on his sleeve.
Enshrined in the constitution and bill of rights, ain’t it?

It’s interesting to note that many of the most effective right wing propagandists in this country are gone or are going away. O’Reilly has been marginalized, the NRA is on the run and bleeding financially, Limbaugh won’t be with us much longer, FOX News is far less organized or effective as they once were.

The propagandists who who are coming in their place pale in comparison. They spew to the far right, but can’t rope in the moderates the way FOX and the NRA used to. It’s as though the whole movement is dying out, and it’s a good riddance.

Is Limpdick gay?
We know he needs Oxy for courage to run down children,to cover up his draft dodging while accusing others of doing the same and all the bullshit who puts out everyday.
He also needs to get Viagra with his Psychiatrist’s name on the bottle.
Why does such a manly man need either?
What is sissy Limpdick hiding?
It’s ok to be gay.

Yup, a real role model here.

Dickhead. And I’m being nice here.

What is it with homophobes and “throat ramming”?

“You ram it down Trump’s throat and beat him in the general election. Really?” he said with a snicker. “Having fun envisioning that.”

I hope Limbaugh get the best medical and nursing care available. If it happens to be from POC and individuals who are not heterosexual, that’s fine too.

The problem I see with Rush’s potential imminent death is that there is someone out there just as mean, but more vile than Rush. It’s always the case where the student has to be worse than the master.
Now if it make a sad for Trumpy, I don’t care, do you.

…and this is EXACTLY WHY people were appalled that Trump cheapened the medal by giving it to this bloated bigot who spent his career bashing women, gays and browns. He’s a d!ck and no amount of ‘cancer’ is going to erase that. He played the same game with drug addiction…‘Where is the DEMOCRATS vaunted compassion???’ and when they gave it to him he kicked them in the face with cleats on. He is a reprehensible POS…He and Bone Spurs never spent a second in the military but BY GOD AND BY TRUMP they ‘know’ what makes a ‘man’.

Not dying fast enough, though to be honest i would prefer he die a slow painful death, but one where he couldn’t speak.

I do hope Limbaugh’s rant against Buttigieg opens Dems’ eyes a bit. The GOP has an attack game plan for every candidate. I happen to think Pete could handle this particular line of attack, but everyone will get hit. The one candidate who has taken the hits and hasn’t seen his poll numbers move in H2H polling is Biden. But now, Dems want to abandon him for some stupid reason (oh yeah, it’s because center left Dems are fickle and like their 13 flavors of ice cream and keep splitting their vote). Relax folks. Vote for Joe if you live in NV and SC and order will be restored to this primary.

The Rush Limbaugh “end tale” seems to be developing a narrative wherein cancer and dying is character building and something allotted only to the chosen very few.

If either or both of Sanders and Buttigieg are nominated, we will see rivers of “socialism,” coded anti-Semitism, gay bashing the likes of which we’ve never seen and it will work with the 45% if not more.
