Not sure what your point is...do you watch Rachel Maddow for an hour a day?
I think the difference is that if that young man met his demise, most on the right wouldn't be celebrating.
Well, she's a woman, so you are showing your
lack of class and acceptance in one simple, dumb statement. And of course, we indeed WOULD be hearing celebratory homophobic comments from the right as stupid as yours.

And besides being a pile of human garbage, Rush died of lung cancer. Because he smoked. He killed himself, essentially. No sympathy here, sorry.
Lighten up, Francis. It was a cheap joke.

I haven't listened to Rush in many years, but I do remember him bragging about his smoke-filled lungs and thought that made him sound like a dickhead. BMW made a comment that makes me think Rush realized how terrible Mike Huckabee was, so I can respect him for that.

It's sad the biggest discussion of Rush Limbaugh's passing rests here in PolPot sted of a radio forum, but this is apparently where he, his biggest fans and his biggest detractors live.

Early on (mid-late 80's?), when the show's comedy and commentary were less about US politics, and more along the lines of current events / world politics / host ego, his show was decent, if not sophomoric entertainment (Gorbasms, Spatula City, etc.) I'd even sneak a listen to bits of the show off the bird in cue during my shift - I liked the irreverence towards politicians and world figures. Then again, I liked John Landecker, too...

A few years later, free of a shift that occupied the same time slot, I soon found that the ability to take in 3 hours of the guy at will was a little less compelling than I thought it would be. That, and the pace, tone and timber of the show had changed to the point where it was less funny or innovative. More serious-like. Past its freshness date for me.

I never stopped listening completely; sometimes taking in a few minutes to catch up on national events, just mingling with AM static rhythms, trying prevent what they call country music from getting any more share, or in betting that even those entertainers who are past their prime still have moments that prove they still have it in 'em to have a good show.

Rush had a much longer run than anyone could have imagined. Frustrated some. Empowered others. Kept AM lit, and Air America dark.

RIP Rush.

Also an episode of MTV's Beavis And Butthead (late 1993) had an episode about coming to Rush's show supporting "See I Told You So" & Beavis showed off his butt!! Rush said "Get these bastards out of here" & Beavis said "Boing"!!

I thought for sure you were going to tell us about the time back in 97 when Rush ate at the Sanford, MI Ponderosa.

Metalhead, a fun fact about the Pence talk show. Although it aired in Indy and the state wide network it was actually done from our studios just outside the city. I have talked to news people worldwide who wanted clips of his old show. None are to be found here so they were all sent to the statewide network.

No real Christian purports to know if any person goes to Heaven or Hell. Even Catholics now recognize that people are saved by Grace, not Works. Even Bill Clinton is likely saved by Grace, in my OPINION. Because that's all you can do, is give an OPINION. TC Talks is full of OPINIONS, as well as products of digestion.

I am not interested in your KKKristianity. My faith applies grace to everyone on earth, something Limbaugh would not understand if you weren't a white male. He's in "Extra Hell" right now.

So you say my faith applies "grace to everyone" then you say he's in "Extra Hell".

Makes no sense at all!

But that's nothing new...

His faith may do that but god has a special place for folks like Rush... those born without a moral compass tend not to do well.
