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.

no
there are many people i don't agree with
some of them are in this thread
i don't hate them
limbaugh?
he's not worthy of hate

also
you should probably pick examples where the person still has a job at their outlet if you want to perform some strange "both sides bad" thing
those exist, presumably

Leftists are hypocrites because of someone who was forced to resign over inappropriate remarks they made?

That's wild, maybe something like that should've happened to Limbaugh. Instead of him getting a medal by the president of the USA.

You should check them out, they're nice little shows. SU gets less great at the end for me personally, but Adventure Time is fun all the way through.

I found them both obnoxious. Only difference is Bee stopped being relevant quick. Rush stuck around however, and the stuff that came out of him was always vile imo.

TURTLESHROOM II wrote: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.

Actually, he made that joke to mock the Chinese Paramount Leader Hu Jintao when he was visiting Barack Obama in 2011. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/811223/amp

Even though politically, personally can’t agree with him on everything

Rush Limbaugh wrote:What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic], who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex.

She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We're the pimps. (interruption) The johns? We would be the johns? No! We're not the johns. (interruption) Yeah, that's right. Pimp's not the right word. Okay, so she's not a slut. She's "round heeled". I take it back.[20]



Show me one statement there that is wrong. Fluke literally demanded the government pay for her contraception because she had so much sex that she couldn't pay twenty bucks at a Wal-Mart.

Merriam-Webster wrote:SLUT. Noun.
A promiscuous person : someone who has many sexual partners —usually used of a woman.



She wanted to have her contraceptives subsidized, meaning, indirectly, that Uncle Sam is her pimp, subsidizing her sex life. That is exactly what Rush Limbaugh said it was.

-and there are a lot worse things that can be said about Fluke. Her actions were the most vile, textbook case of political stereotypes I knew of at the time.

George W. Bush: Rush Limbaugh 'Was Friend Throughout My Presidency'

https://www.newsmax.com/us/obituary-rea ... d/1010423/

As a Proud Republican, I Post this Post on behalf of Republican President George W Bush:

"Laura and I are sorry to learn that Rush Limbaugh has passed away. A son of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Rush rose as a pioneer of talk radio starting in the 1980s, and was a friend throughout my presidency. While he was brash, at times controversial, and always opinionated, he spoke his mind as a voice for millions of Americans and approached each day with gusto."

All of the supposedly horrible and terrible things Rush Limbaugh said, what people who're against Rush need to understand about Rush's audience is that for them, he was speaking the truth like it or not. They certainly wouldn't bat an eye to what was said. Once again, its the feature and nothing to feel any shame about. Rightists fundamentally think and feel differently on the issues than Liberals.
