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.
>Dying of 'lung cancer' Just like that one congressmen, man 'lung cancer' is a problem for Republican officials these days.
Can't wait for all of the trannies to kill themselves so they can go to hell and get eternally harassed by him on the God v Satan podcast

You should not speak ill of the dead. But damn, it's hard to find anything else for him.
Grayson Gutierrez
He made progressive liberals seethe by reminding them they're stupid and evil people. That's pretty cool.

Julian Flores
Limbaugh was a tool of porky and his radio broadcast was unbearably distasteful because his only emotions while broadcasting were anger, disbelief, and disdain. No better than CNN or their group of agi-prop redistributors
Robert Wilson
Good riddance to bad rubbish and may God have mercy on his soul.

There are no pardons for Hell. The Presidential Medal of Freedom will do you no good there, either. And, fuck you for polluting that for the remainder of time.

shut up, kid. you probably arent even old enough to be alive when Rush still took callers. Rush would let republicans call up to openly fantasize about how they would kill libs if they could get away with it.

source: my ears. this was 2003 and I was a teen trying to figure out wtf happened after 9-11. Good luck finding it, people didnt record radio shows much back in the early 2000s muchless even before that also >someone advocates for killing americans >you like that sup terrorist scum thanks for proving that republicans hate america.
That provided nothing but Twitter commentary. Wow, do you know what proof is? He was quite literally on recorded radio, proof would be the segment

I see you have no evidence then. Good job lying shill. If it were real the leftist media wouldve thrown it on youtube as a smear tactics go ahead and find it. You went through the trouble of finding twitter image links go and find the actual audio or admit youre a brainwashrd shill who ingests propaganda like semen
Juan Powell
I met a woman who went to high school with that morbidly obese toad and she said he was just as much of a blowhard jackass then as he was nowadays.
Good riddance to bad blood. If there is a just Jeebus, Satan has a very special place for him and his ilk in the very bowels of a fetid, fecal blistering Hell. If transmigration of souls is correct then he shall have an infinity of lives being a spider paralyzed by a wasp and slowly consumed from the inside out by wasp larvae.

Hey remember when Rush said that drug use was a choice and a disease on society, that they should all be jailed, then got busted for OxyContin, then argued it was somehow different because he was doing it? Good times.
Jason Cook
Hes dead and Trump lost.
He lived just long enough to watch the Republican party crumble. His life's work ruined. That was the last thing he saw before he died in agony

Was he the guy that called black women nappy headed hoes
Faggots like are here bemoaning virtue when they forget the man was fucking evil.

Rush and the entire rightwing media empire that saturates the desolate red States, Fox "News", Newsmax and OAN would never have existed if it hadn't been for Reagan's elimination of the fairness doctrine. And it's directly responsible for spawning the zombie cult worship of a weirdo dictator wannabe that the GOP has morphed into.
Lucas Powell
Fox News, Newsmax and OANN are cable channels, to which the fairness doctrine never applied.

Given that nearly every single relevant Republican public figure supported Trump's coup attempt over democracy, they deserve it.
Parker Scott
No actually that's true... Sorry. Heard it myself.

No shit, because they didn't exist before the fucking fairness doctrine was thrown out by Reagan. They couldn't have existed, which is the fucking point!

If his name is Rush, why was he so slow to die"

>He was that long before he was consigned to the very bowels of Hell
Hell and heaven are metaphors for the life we create for ourselves here on earth.
tRump is in hell, because he has everything, but desires more, and his ego is so fragile that he can't stand the slightest criticism.
What circle of hell that one creates for one's self in his/her lifetime depends on how one treats others.
AS for those who are born mentally ill, like severe depression, but hurt no one, I have no fucking idea as to why they suffer.

Well, if you need proof that Limbaugh mocked gays or allowed the lives of politicians on his program, you've clearly never heard the man. Hell Anne Coulter did the same, and she was positively tame compared to him.
Granted, he's an actor who didn't believe one iota of what he preaches, and I'm going to miss the fat bastard. He was good at his job, to be sure. I'd give him a respectful "s", though given his overall effect at poisoning the nation, it might be a shit - but maybe I'll constipate myself a bit and save it for the execs who thought giving him a national soapbox was going to be a net positive for the nation.
Gavin Anderson
If Rush hated gender neutral bathrooms so much, then why did he ensure his grave become one?

You can write a letter to Camel.
Jacob White
Twitter doesn't. He's probably more comfortable in the bowels of hell than he would be there as badly as he's being drawn, quartered and raked over the coals.
Noah Ramirez
There is no such thing as hell.
Jaxon Barnes
Yes, but it's nice to fantasize about bastards like that fatass suffering unbearable tortures forever.
Isaac Watson
Sounds like you are either underage or haven't aged mentally. Adults don't sit around fantasizing about elaborately torturing people they disagree with. At least not sane ones.
Jeremiah Parker
That man lived in hell every day of his life. Read any biography of your choice, there's enough warnings as to what that outlook will do to you out there, when combined with fame.
Christian Thomas
And? Hell is not a physical place and he is not being tortured there for all eternity now that he is dead. If anything your statement makes it sound like death was a blessing which is antithetical to the initial statement.
Camden Gonzalez
I take no particular joy in the fact that he's dead because his death wasn't what I wanted. His removal from political discourse was the goal. If he were to have suffered some horrible accident or undergone some sort of incident that rendered him unable to be on the radio anymore I'd be just as satisfied. The absence of his presence on the radio and involvment in political discourse is an absolute benefit for our country. His death is just a means to that very positive ends. Consequentially speaking it wasn't necessary for him to die to achieve these ends. Ethically speaking I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with refusing to mourn the death of someone so infamously cruel and despicable.
Logan White
I'm triggered.
Parker Nguyen
>torturing people >people Sorry, that doesn't apply to what that thing was.
Cooper Rogers
Thanks for confirming my point.
Luis Bennett
Him dying removes him from the political discourse though.
Adrian Parker
>twitter doesn't kek
David Perez
Some folks don't believe in identity before or after life, save through others, so while it is a kind of mercy that a life in hell is all you get, if that's the case, hell is all you get. So I do pity the man for his life. Looks like almost nothing but pain and trying to escape it, nearly from start to finish, in which he never overcame himself.
As for the afterlife - I treat the unknowable as the unbelievable, and thus don't deal with before and after, save as cause, history, and parable - and the occasional crass joke with a drunk mortician.
Brandon Long
plz guys
A moment of silence for the lung tumors who died to a case of Rush. They will be missed.
Owen Garcia
If the The cancer died of cancer, who killed whom?
Tyler Nelson
Yes. Him simply retiring and moving to a cabin in the woods never to be heard from again would of also accomplished this. I would be equally satisfied with this outcome as the goal was never to end his life but end his influence on political discourse. His death accomplishes this goal just fine so I'm not shedding any tears about it. I was merely communicating that him suffering wasn't the thing I wanted.
Asher Rodriguez
You commies are really the scum of the earth. Celebrating the death of someone because you disagree with his opinion.
This kind of behavior doesn't end well.
Andrew Lewis
He did look a bit like Monokuma, didn't he? Served a similar function as well, getting a bunch of folks to end each other in a self-made prison of Despair.
Meh, less concerned with his viewpoint (much of which I agreed with), so much as his affect on the culture.
