[Anonymous]

The news just broke on twitter. Rush Limbaugh has died.

As a Catholic, on the first day of Lent, I say RIP.

It's a tough pill to swallow.

Condolences to his family, who have suffered doubly from his passing as well as his decades of spewing bile over the airwaves.

He certainly had an impact on today's politics.
And, he accomplished quite a bit even without a college degree.
He will be missed by millions.
RIP.

Please remember the standard rule we have here that we observe at the deaths of individuals from across the political spectrum. If you can't say anything good, don't say anything. Violating this rule will cause your post to be removed and for you potentially to be blocked from posting.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I'm more curious what will happen with his likely $1 billion estate. All to his wife or gave much it of away to Conservative causes he claimed to care about e.g. Hillsdale College in Michigan.

I didn't agree with his views all of the time, but his professional life was spent embracing one of the most important pillars of our country: freedom of speech. You can't hate Rush and love Bill Maher, they are two sides of the same coin.

That he'd been able to voice his viewpoints for so long was is a testament to how deeply he believed in his ideals. RIP and may your family find solace in the knowledge that you had a profound impact on our country. Whether you liked him or hated him, famous or infamous, he will be remembered.

Nobody is going to listen to Trump babble for 15 hours a week. Rush was successful because he has a radio voice and like him or not, he was very well read, clever and witty. Shapiro's voice is nails on a chalk board and he's painfully unfunny. Hannity is dumber than a brick and not witty at all.

Bill O'Reilly was really the natural inheritor of this noon to 3 p.m. time slot but he ruined it with the scandals at Fox.

Yes. His philanthropic efforts are not often discussed. He donated quite a bit to charitable causes. And, encouraged his listeners to do the same.

Here are some key donations to note:

As of April 2016: Over the past 26 years, Mr. Limbaugh and his audience have collectively raised more than $47 million for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, helping provide much-needed research and support for individuals and families affected by blood cancer diseases.
“Every year I think it’s going to be the year that we finally have topped out and we’re not going to be able to beat the previous year. And I’ve never been right,” shared Limbaugh. “I and everybody at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of America thank you from the bottom of our sizable beating hearts.”
As of Dec. 2019: Raised over $5 million for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation which supports the loved ones of first responders killed in the line of duty. In July of 2019, the foundation paid off the mortgage of the house belonging to the family of a slain Auburn law enforcement officer for his wife and two children.
On Oct. 19, 2007: Rush auctioned off a letter he received from congressional Democrats who were upset with him for statements he made about soldiers who opposed the war and matched the winning bid. He gave the profits to The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation at the time he said, “it’s now official, is going to get in excess of $4.2 million because I am matching Betty Casey’s bid on eBay — $4.2 million.”
In July 2018, Limbaugh and his wife donated $500,000 to the Dana Farber Cancer Clinic in Boston.
