Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio pioneer, dead at 70

Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday morning at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.

Matt Gertz made a good thread on Twitter. He noticed that Rush’s defenders never seemed to put any actual quotes from his radio programs in their tributes. Just quotes from the CPAC speech, or some quotes from other interviews he gave. They are avoiding his true essence, IMO.

I saw another tweet that said that people who criticized him just didn’t understand how funny he was. Insult comics only really work, IMO, when they are insulting the elite and powerful. Punching down is just cowardly. Rush was a coward and a bully, he always, always punched down. That he was so celebrated is an indictment of America, really. So we can remember who he really was, here is a list of quotes from his show.

I am glad I am not the only one.

I saw “Matt Gaetz made a good thread...” and thought MT15 had been hacked.

Rush Limbaugh was an obese, homophobic, misogynistic, cowardly, cruel, fact-hating, hate-loving, smug, sanctimonious, drug-addicted hypocrite and bully who built and used his audience to spew lies and vitriol, who created a safe space for ignorance, hate, racism, and aporophobia.

As I said, I'm glad he's not on the air anymore.

It's a running joke on his twitter of him replying to people who thinks he's the other Matt.

DeSantis is the worst.

DeSantis is the worst.

And to do so for Rush friggin Limbaugh would be against the flag code too, wouldn't it? I saw there are 3 conditions yesterday and he meets none of them.

I saw a series of tweets saying he was told by aides not to do it, that it would be improper and would cause significant blowback, but he did it anyway. Just for the “owning” and just because it would cause outrage. Apparently he doesn’t have anything else to do but troll.
