Most who call and talk on air to Rush as set ups, not random callers. Sean Hannity does the same thing. You were never going to get through. Early in his career Rush tried a traveling live show. He was unable to handle those who he didn't agree with. It is why he never ran for office. His lines only work on his show. Facing knowledgeable people in real life and he is lost.
I think that Trump has a very poor character. Despicable even. I also think that Rush Limbaugh, and his kind have been a cancer in the body politic, for quite some time. In fact I find his diagnosis rather fitting, in a poetic kind of way.
You stated that already in this thread. Your being redundant. Get some new material. And maybe start an "I'm happy Rush is dying" thread. This one is more of an adult respectful sympathetic one.
Unless you read my post twice. While we are at it. I first heard Rush at work. In the cubical next to mine sat a fellow who first listened to Mike Rosen and then Rush Limbaugh on the radio everyday, day after day after day. It was irritating as hell as both were mostly just talking bullshit. Neither were all that factually correct and seemed to be pushing an ideology that to me, was backwards and destructive. The fellow in the next cubical eventually switched to wearing headphones as he kept getting annoyed by me constantly pointing out the errors in fact and logic that I was being forced to listen to. I was always stuck by how often they went after feminists, or Feminazis as Rush likes to say. As a man who has greatly benefited from the side effects of feminism I find men offended by feminism to be a bit odd. It has been through preachers of the modern conservative movement, such as Limbaugh, Mike Rosen, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and a host of others, that conservatives all across America gave been lured to an alternate set of facts. It is quite common for these trashtalkers to say unfounded things about their political opponents, individually and collectively, and then to hear conservative leaning people all across America repeat it back to us. It seems to be why so many conservarives tend to describe the "left" in ways that don't represent any real world people from the left side of the political spectrum. And in such a consistant and derogatory manner. I'm sure it has a lot to do with why more than half of all Republicans think that a college education is detrimental. I am also sure that it is more than a coincidence that pretty much everyone who thinks global warming is a hoax, regularly listens to and/or watches right wing opinion radio/television.

None of that is of any use to him when battling stage 4 cancer and facing the end of life. Maybe he will eventually see that the riches and greed he peddles on his show are all for naught at the end. What counts is the love of family and friends, not the % GDP growth the tax cuts for rich supposedly produce.
Why? Rush has spoken at length about how drug addicts need to be locked and even killed. He has worked to make people miserable, harassed, destroy people lives, suggest things like bad water, bad air, people who had problems Rush just says over and over people in difficulty or weren't powerful "asked for their problems"! Of course, those feminazi sluts out there just were disgusting, something we can be sure he discussed with his buddies in his foreign sex teens whorhouses. Well, Rush value certainly 8 or 9 figures for his wealth, yet this idiot doesn't even get decent checkups so his lung cancer is STAGE 4? That is what he claimed it was just discovered a few weeks ago! Idiots like him could get an MRI every three weeks and know what was going on. He's been a drug addict so bad he lost his hearing, dealer, goes to child sex areas and comes back with illegal drugs and smokes cigars? There is no reason for anyone to respect him, he has never done any decency except when he would suck up to wealthy jerks until he finally accumulated enough wealth to make more and more people miserable and to tear down America. All he could have done with his power, and just fritters it away on trash. Good riddance!
Were I in his stead, that's the last thing in the world I'd want to hear. Actually I'm under no such obligation. On the contrary, I think we should welcome these people exposing themselves. So Rush is a nobody. Who knew?
Hate destroys the haters. I would prefer that they save themselves. The globe warms. The globe cools. It's not a secret.
Well if there is a silver lining, he is 69! With his money he could easily make 10 years and still be pretty active!
Sadly, many of his political opponents are celebrating. On Raw Story, the comment section is filled with jubilation. Here. Raw Story comment section has long been promoting violence. r\news also celebrates. Here.
Well not quite everyone--the planet may be getting warmer in the short-term, but unless geological history is in error, an ice age is coming, and sooner than later. As to what is the hoax, it's not the science, its the use of misapplied climatological science to political issues and economics--even if human industrialization generates heat, without it, life is a living hell, poverty is a constant companion, and death is a haunting specter hovering around every breath you take. The solution is not sustained growth, the solution is Unbridled Individualism, Laissez-Faire Capitalism, and reverence for Reason as a guiding light, not feelings nor divine inspiration. Ayn Rand: "Now observe that in all the propaganda of the ecologists—amidst all their appeals to nature and pleas for “harmony with nature”—there is no discussion of man’s needs and the requirements of his survival. Man is treated as if he were an unnatural phenomenon. Man cannot survive in the kind of state of nature that the ecologists envision—i.e., on the level of sea urchins or polar bears . . . . In order to survive, man has to discover and produce everything he needs, which means that he has to alter his background and adapt it to his needs. Nature has not equipped him for adapting himself to his background in the manner of animals. From the most primitive cultures to the most advanced civilizations, man has had to manufacture things; his well-being depends on his success at production. The lowest human tribe cannot survive without that alleged source of pollution: fire. It is not merely symbolic that fire was the property of the gods which Prometheus brought to man. The ecologists are the new vultures swarming to extinguish that fire.--http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/ecology-environmental_movement.html The Anti-Industrial Revolution: The Return of the Primitive
Your comments represent your party accurately, hateful, classless and desperate for attention! To mock one's cancer is a low I can't imagine sinking to, and may God help you because you clearly need it!
onetruename said: ↑ I prefer talk show hosts who don't get cancer. \ I like Rush. But, that was a good tickle, and a witty retort to Trump's "I like people who aren't captured."--in case you have forgotten.
I didn't like that comment either, I didn't realize it was a tit-for-tat kind of thing! What are we in 3rd grade? Read the other comments posted on here, sorry but wrong is wrong!
Preschool, grade school, high school, college, or the boardroom of a Fortune 500, if you are going to throw spitballs, expect return fire. And it still was more clever that crude, and more true than not--wouldn't you rather Rush not have cancer? I would. You see? It just works on so many levels.
Nice diversion, but sorry no! If you read the other comments it clearly wasn't meant in that context, but whatever. I hold true to my comment, an accurate representation of the left... Anyways, you have a nice day!
