Rush Limbaugh dead at 70

[Necroghastia]

This is the guy who made a "Ching Chong Chinese" joke on live talk show.

Picairn is right, as he is differentiating stuido interviews with crass jokes.

The first post in your compiliation has Limbaugh saying the N-word, proudly joining every shock jock in every inner-city's radio station in America. This is only in the compiliation because Rush Limbaugh is a white shock jock and therefore not immune to criticism. Big whoop.

Ah yes, a compiliation of cherry-picked quotes with no context entering or leading, of a radio shock jock whose job was to offend. What a reliable and totally trustworthy Youtube video.

As for the Chinese joke? What context? Was he mocking the atrocities, evil, corruption, etc., of Red China and/or the CCP? Tianiamen Square? Or maybe he was making a bad pun about a Chinese spy sent to seduce and sleep with Americans to get information? All of which actually happens?

Context has meaning and attacking a specific person does not equate to attacking an entire race.

Remember, a shock jock's job is to offend, and Rush Limbaugh insulted everyone and everything. If you think he only made race jokes against non-whites, you are jumping on a hate train and don't actually know anything about Rush Limbaugh beyond what you were told to think.

again, it being his job is not an excuse. quite arguably, it makes it worse.

I watched the show a few times and I have to say, he treated everyone (even opponents) respectfully. In today’s America, that’s rare.

Oh, honey. No. He's one of the people most responsible for inculcating the current mean-spirited political environment. He's not the sole offender, of course, but it is probably his least savory legacy.

[New haven america]

Not really a problem. He was a controversial figure whose rhetoric caused harm to some. It is what it is. As long as no rules are broken, what’s it really to you personally how others feel about Rush? Really.

If Rush Limbaugh triggers you, change the station. That's what folks tell me when I complain when sexual propaganda is shoved into children's programs.

Such as....?

The hell is "sexual propaganda" in children's programs? LGBT content? And why are you watching them anyway?

TS's satellite dish got knocked out of kilter by an errant sparrow a few years back and now they get the hentai channel instead of the Cartoon Network. Complains constantly to the cable company about how their remote keeps bringing them back to it too.

But Necro, it is just an excuse. That's all this is, a paper-thin attempt to make the words he said be something other than they were.

Showing gay couples on Disney probably.

like if your job is to spout slurs, spread misinformation, and just all around be a mean-spirited prick to everyone... if you're at all a decent person you'd find a different job

i'm sure you have...examples of these race jokes against white people to back up this claim

This is the kind of person that Republicans respect and have been airing tributes to.

It really makes you think about what their party represents.

It's going to be Steven Universe or Adventure Time, we all know it is.

[New haven america]

It 100% fits.

You don't know what Nazism is so I'm inclined to disregard your opinion on all things related to Nazism.

Ah look, another wrong opinion from Fah.

And yet you keep posting anyway. I must applaud you, really, I wish I had enough confidence to be so wrong so often yet continue on with participating anyway.

It’s no stretch, really, to think he is or was what he spouted through the airwaves.

There probably are some pretty solid criticisms to be made about children's television since the early 1990s, but I'm quite certain it being more gay isn't one of those.

Rush Limbaugh creating Unity

"If al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they better hurry, because Obama's beating them to it"

That, my good friend, is called humor.

Rush Limbaugh is fully capable, and has, delivered positive, uplifting, and patriotic messages.

He has, but that's not his job to do it. Limbaugh is an optimist who believes in his country, but his trade is to be a crass shock jock. Every inner-city has one on their radio, but the only difference is that 1) Rush is white, 2) Rush is nationally syndicated, and 3) Rush is a rightist.

The amount of hypocrisy surrounding Rush Limbaugh's jack-A attitude while we have Limbaughs like Samantha Bee on every night, or loving and respectful people that resigned after saying Sarah Palin should be tied down and have poop deposited into her mouth.

Everyone rejoicing over Limbaugh's death need to stop pretending to be sanctimonious and just straight-out say they hate him because he doesn't think like them.

If the dictionary were illustrated, this post would appear next to the term "irony."

Well then please, post examples.

See that neither of you have ever watched Samantha Bee.

[Alcala-Cordel]

I'm pretty sure this is a joke

No, IM is 100% serious.

He's an authoritarian who thinks they're gonna be at the top commanding things when the take over happens.

Oh, well that's just weird then

You have better examples, right?

I have. Can’t stand her. Your point?

You misspelled right.

I believe you know what Nazism when you stop describing everyone you dislike and who is vaguely right-wing as a Nazi. As it stands, you have some of the most catastrophically bad hot takes I've seen anywhere outside the comments of Boomers on FB.

Tfw kids knowing you exist is sexual propaganda, but mocking people with Parkinson's is good moral values.

The real solution is to ban all media of any type, bismillah.

i mean, yeah, because who the fuck is that
also i see you don't actually have a rebuttal to my point

Yeah basically.
