Rush Limbaugh—Republican Conservative hero and role model.
January 12, 1951 – February 17th, 2021
Setting the bar.
While there shouldn’t be joy there should be recognition.
People dying is not usually a cause for celebration for me. It also isn’t a time to provide a good cover story or make something out of someone that they weren’t. Obviously this doesn’t apply in every circumstance.
Who was Rush Limbaugh as a person?
Republican conservatives LOVE Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh’s a hero to them in the sense that the insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol are patriots, only more so. Limbaugh and Trump are moral equivalents.
What’s not to like about Rush Limbaugh? He brought so much to the table of life.
Table of life.
- Racism.
- Bigotry.
- Homophobia.
- Misogynism.
- Anti-science.
- Anti-immigrant.
- Anti-Muslim
- Immorality.
- Advocating throwing drug addicts in jail.
High Points
Just a few of Limbaugh’s many high points in addition to or to expand upon the ones listed above are listed below.
Early in his career Limbaugh had a segment where he celebrated people dying from AIDs. I had to look this up because it just seemed too unbelievable.
Limbaugh, like Trump, liked making fun of people he thought were ugly, like the teenage daughters of Presidents and women in general. He lumped entire groups of women as being ugly. He brought up imagery of a woman caller having a bone in her nose, managing to be both racist and misogynistic at the same time. A twofer.
He didn’t believe that the risks from smoking should be taken seriously. He smoked cigars and died from lung cancer.
Irony.
How did the Republican ‘tough on crime’ hero feel about how drug offenders should be treated?
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh, Oct. 5, 1995.
Limbaugh was arrested in 2006 for drug-related offenses. He was caught, charged and cut a deal with prosecution that let him avoid any prison time.
Similar to how MAGAT Heads stormed the Capitol but don’t think that they should be charged because the President told them to do it. So also being strong supporters of law enforcement they vandalized our Capitol and assaulted police while looking for elected representatives to harm.
Classic conservativism.
Ground breaker!
Limbaugh was also a ground breaker when it came to making fun of people with infirmities on national media, like he did to Michael Fox having Parkinson’s disease. This is knee-slapping he-haw stuff for conservatives! Trump carried on with this proud tradition and his seditionists loved it!
Limbaugh served up hours of this tripe daily to his eagerly anticipating audience, year after year.
There are lists upon lists of all the evil things that the disgusting human being that was Rush Limbaugh said. It’s how he made his money. Piles of it. He was selling and conservatives were buying. They can’t get enough of it. Limbaugh made a half billion dollars off of them.
Most importantly.
Limbaugh supported Trump. So Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom the highest civilian medal of our nation. Put him right up there with the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa. Of course Bill Cosby is a recipient too so there’s that.
Limbaugh along with the Republican Party helped prepare the ground for a President like Trump. Think of Limbaugh as being the warm-up act for the headliner.

Besides….
His lack of humanity, decency and morality.
