Conservative-talk radio host Rush Limbaugh dies at 70....

Don't know why some people decided to bring up George Floyd. The only thing I can think of is conservatives are trying to make false equivalencies and ignore context to make themselves feel better by pretending the 'leftists' are just as bad as they are.

Truth is Rush Limbaugh is one of those people I think the world is better off without. He had a sustained platform which he used continuously to hold back progress for his own personal gain.

He embodied all the worst aspects of American conservatism and, while I feel for any loved ones who are dealing with his passing, I for one don't care that he has died.

I hope history is fair to him in that I hope it rips his legacy apart like is deserved.

RoO: Nah, you're the complete and utter p-o-s. You are hateful to anyone who doesn't share your left-wing disgusting political views. Go f*** yourself.

Limbaugh was a conservative icon and a true American hero, unlike baby killer Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She truly was a complete and utter p-o-s but she is paying right now in Hell for the horrible policies she helped put in place. When she died America was truly better off. Today though, is truly sad day for America and to those who love it.

Yes, I know you don't fall into that category because you actually hate Anerica because you're so damn jealous it is better than your loser, shithole country. 👆

You are a straight up crazy person.

Was Rush really that bad?

Never watched him, so genuinely asking.

Eth you can't just decry people for celebrating the death of Rush Limbaugh while in the same breath saying that RBG deserved to die.

...then you clearly don't know ethneo

Check out what the Rush Limbaugh Aids Update was.

To be fair, this was a segment that lasted about two weeks and Rush had gone on record to say it was incredibly mean-spirited and the most regretful thing had done on his show.

I think the quote was that he felt bad for making fun of people who were "really dying horribly"

I've no idea how he didn't realize this was in bad taste before he opted to do it, so what a ****ing dumbass.

why was he attacking mjf?

Because Rush Limbaugh was a horrible person who loved to attack people and be vile because that's what turned his followers on. The more he attacked and the lower he sank, the richer his followers made him.

This guy kinda summed it up:

"Rush Limbaugh mocked Eric Garner's death, Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's cancer diagnosis, Kurt Cobain, people who died of AIDS, feminists, Civil Rights activists, and Native Americans. That's his legacy. -James P Morrison viaTwitter

And this ^

Rush Limbaugh had a recurring segment on his radio show called “AIDS Update” where he mocked the death of gay people due to AIDS and even played music in a celebratory manner. He would later say he regretted it, but he still did it.

F*ck that piece of shit. I’m glad he’s dead.

The reason he said he regretted doing that is because it was one of the few shit things he did that caused enough negative blow back it threatened to hurt him financially with sponsors and such. He wasn't sad because it was a shit thing to do, he was sad because it hurt his wallet.

FYI, everyone is allowed their own civil opinion about whatever, but unprovoked bashing will get you a temp ban.

Keep it calm, people.

Nah, I'm not conservative, and I was the first one to bring up George Floyd, for exactly the reason you mentioned, the world is a better place without him. If you can tap dance and laugh at and mock some radio guy for dying, I don't think its a big deal to throw out that the world is also a better place without a guy who threatened pregnant women and carried out home invasions. Difference is, one guy is laughed at and shat on and mocked and the other is praised and has murals painted of him. Its weird. They're both pieces of shit.

The difference in HOW they died is what you are missing there. It wasn't who George floyd was, it's how he died, THAT was the entire point of the protests, and if somehow you missed that after all we went through last year.... Ayyiyi.

This is correct, even a criminal like Floyd has rights and it's not up to our police to decide who lives and who dies. The protest where about police brutality.

Maybe I didn't make my point clear enough, thats my bad. I'm not against protesting police brutality, all I'm saying is I will never mourn or spin a man who threatened pregnant women into some symbol of justice. All I'm saying is the guy was a shit human being and I'm not sad he's gone. That's it.

Here's something interesting: if Rush Limbaugh was shot and killed on his way home from the grocery store, do you think social media would have reacted differently? Or would people still be saying "eh, he was a piece of shit, I'm not sad that he's gone"? People would have absolutely said "karmas a *****" "he got what was coming to him."

They were both shit people, they're both dead, and I'm not sad about either. That's all.

You're still missing the context of how he died/police brutality.

But it Rush Limbaugh had his neck crushed by cops while handcuffed when they could have easily thrown him in back of a squad car, yeah, there would have been massive outrage.

I'll agree with saying I don't really care about George Floyd personally, I didn't know him. He was murdered though- that's way different than died of cancer. I mean, I hate that he was murdered, and I hate cancer. Murder that is legal should be protested against, but cancer doesn't really do much good to protest.
