Oh Christ, no. Really.

You have to understand this -- the left has a lot of problems, but embracing someone with Limbaugh's vitriol, bile, and rancor is not one of them. We are the ones that are so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. That has its own problems, but idolizing success is not one of them.

Heck, we drummed Al Franken from the Senate -- a guy from our own party -- for making a bad joke, even though the woman herself publicly forgave him.

Don't lay that on us. You own it, you swallow it. You keep it.

No. My grandma listened to him when I was 15 and I thought he was the most horrible person I had ever heard in my life and I had no idea about parties back then. Since then he's only gotten worse. He's been on for decades and every single time I've heard him over the years I wanted to throw up at the thought that other Americans actually liked him. Just a horrible horrible human being. And I loved my grandma, but she didn't get out much and so he played on her fears for the future. Thankfully my grandpa also of the same party as Rush was more practical and had more sense and never listened to the guy.

Uggh. And that state of the union medal was for me about as disgusting of a day for America as was January 6th. Well the entire last year of Trump's presidency was just awful, so I guess it was a fitting precursor.

This. He truly loved this country.

I am a better American citizen because of him. I am going out of my way to teach my children about our country because of him. He will influence many of us for years to come.

What kinds of things will you teach your children thanks to Rush?

How damn lucky they are to be Americans. That they owe the generations before them that gave everything for them to be free. That America is built on principles and values that never before been used in forming the basis of a government, and those principles are what make us exceptional. And that we are always only one generation away from losing it all.

Very well said. RIP Rush. I won’t cry for you because that’s not what you want. You want us to fight. We will fight

This.

We can honor him by winning “in the arena of ideals”, as he coined the term. He wouldn’t want people crying over his passing. He would want them inspired by his message, and striving for excellence in what they do. Because that’s at the essence of what made this country great.

Well said. Thank you.

The man was a mess personally. It's amazing how many people will follow others speaking about the importance of individual strength who have completely messed up lives. In all of that personal responsibility reflection, did it never occur to you that the people who don't have it all together individually might not be the best preachers for this message?

I, for one, am inspired by these ideals and this vision of our country.

Rush Limbaugh's own words on race and ethnicity:

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." [to a Black woman calling in to his show]

"Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."

"Holocaust? Ninety million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos — what’s to complain about?"

(Let that sink in for a minute. 4% of the population left, and 96% gone. No treaty ever fully honored.)

Regarding the president of China at a press conference:

"Eh, never mind. We’re not gonna gyp Fox. I wanted to gyp it because the – well, the – Hu Jintao, he was speaking, and they weren’t translating. ...They normally – you have some translator every couple of words. But Hu Jintao was just going CHING CHONG, CHING CHOW CHONG CHA, CHONG CHANG, CHING CHONG CHIBABABA, OH CHONGHING CHI CHIGARAI, CHENG CHI CHI. CHING ZHA BABA CHENGA CHENG CHI CHI CHI. CHANGI. OOOOOO. CHING CHOLABA BABA. GE CHOW CHOW BA."


So, PPs, this is what you admire? This lifted our country, made us better, kept us as the shining city on the hill for others to aspire to be like?

Disgusting. Gross.

He was who he was, PP, and that was not an admirable person. If you want to be admired, you should live your life in a way that does not leave others "wetting their pants in anticipation" of speaking the truth about your life -- using your own words.

You are so wrong. All that bombast and bile is a part of the culture of Republicans. If liberals/Dems were drawn to that, we'd have our own equivalent, but we don't. We have the talent, but it's not our thing. Our thing is political humor and satire. See Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, VEEP, etc. We also do overly earnest political drama, like The West Wing and Madame Secretary.

You rage, we laugh. It's just a cultural difference between the right and the left.

I haven't even gotten to the vitriol he said about women. What an absolute waste of carbon.

Care to defend his words posted in this thread, PP? Any way to justify or excuse them, or is that something you just look away from?
