Loons?
You get your "news" from the likes of Chrissy Mathews, Ronnie Maddow, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, WaPo, NYT, and you have the nerve to talk about other people getting their news from Rush and Fox News?
You are one truly deluded f*ck.
And, who told you that NOBODY on here listens to Rush or watches Fox News.
Rush made a solid point about the typical mindset of a liberal. If you had enough intelligence to actually listen to the audio instead of just coming here and regurgitating the leftist talking points, you would realize what a complete f*cking a$$ you are making of yourself. Of course, this is compounded by the fact that you're just regurgitating the same talking points that this board's biggest LOSER and MORON (yes, Rex, that's means YOU) regurgitates here daily because he has absolutely no ability to think for himself.
Congratulations on letting Rex make a complete a$$ of you and show the world that you cannot think for yourself.

Here we go again, giving the troll a ten page thread when his OP and the story he linked in it are misleading.
Feed on.

You're the very epitome of what it means to be a hypocrite, Rex. You have said terrible things about your political opponents, both well-known politicians and people on here, yet you are the first person to post any kind of negativity from a conservative, like you are some kind of Mother Theresa.
And now, we see that you even took Limbaugh's complete comment out of context. You are a despicable excuse for a human being, son.

Only people who have a pessimistic and dark opinion of other humans can defend Rush's remarks. As you say, suicide is not a right vs. left issue, but Rush is perfectly willing to paint it so in order to please such people. He's commercially crass, but that's a virtue in the Republican world.

News flash. Rush is an ultra conservative. He makes comments disparaging to leftists all the time. Sort of like how Obama and Rex ways lie.
MOST of Rushs show was VERY sympathetic of RW.
one statement equating pessimism with leftist mantra (a universal truth btw) does NOT support the mendacious title of this thread started by the known universal liar = Rex.

Why? Because I believe that tax breaks should go to those who actually work?
Yup, a-hole liberal right there.

Intro to your article:
Please take a moment and point out where Rush said this:
quote:
Radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday said that actor Robin Williams’ alleged suicide was caused by his “political leftist” state of mind.
Please take a moment and point out where Rush said this:
quote:
RUSH: So our last caller from Des Plaines, Illinois, wanted to know, "What is the politics in the coverage of the suicide of Robin Williams?" Well, I believe there is some. But I don't think that the politics is driving it. I think there was, on the part of media and Hollywood, genuine affection for the guy that is driving it, but there is politics. If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn't enough.
"He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn't." Now, what is the left's worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it's one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They're never happy, are they? They're always angry about something. No matter what they get, they're always angry.
They are animated in large part by the false promises of America, because the promises of America are not for everyone, as we see each and every day. I mean, right here there's a story on the Fox News website. Do you know, it says right here, that the real reasons that Robin Williams killed himself are he was embarrassed at having to take television roles after a sterling movie career.
He had to take movie roles that were beneath him, sequels and so forth, and he finally had to do television just to get a paycheck because he was in so much financial distress. He'd had some divorces that ripped up his net worth, and he had a big ranch in Napa that he couldn't afford any longer and had to put up for sale, and a house in Tiburon that he couldn't afford anymore. This is all what's in the Fox News story.
He had it all, but he had nothing. He made everybody else laugh but was miserable inside. I mean, it fits a certain picture, or a certain image that the left has. Talk about low expectations and general unhappiness and so forth. Right here it says that one the contributing factors to Robin Williams deciding to kill himself was "survivor's guilt." It's in the headline.
I read that and I thought, "Survivor's guilt? What? What survivor's guilt? What?" So I read it, and it turns out that three of his closest friends, the story says -- Christopher Reeve, John Belushi, and Andy Kaufman... The source, unnamed in the story, said that Robin Williams felt guilty that he was still alive while his three friends had died young and much earlier than he had.
He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn't.
Well, that is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country. It's outcome-based education: 2 + 2 = 5. "That's fine until the student learns it's 4. We're not gonna humiliate the student by pointing out that he's wrong. If he figures it out, cool. We're gonna take the fast learners and we're gonna slow them down so that they don't humiliate the kids that don't learn as fast as they do. It's just not fair."
So the bottom line is here is it's reported that he died, which is true, but he actually committed suicide. I just really hope that this coverage does not spawn copycats, because the coverage is fawning and glorious, and positive. You have so many people on social media who so desperately want fame. You know it and I know it.
People are voluntarily telling everybody every detail about themselves, casting every aspect of their privacy aside just because they want fame. They want to be noticed. They all want to be on TV. There's a lot of fame and the media's doing every story about this is a story of greatness -- unparalleled, unequaled, unique greatness.
I mean, everybody would love to be spoken of the way the media's speaking of Robin Williams today and last night, and I really hope -- 'cause there's some very fragile people out there -- people don't try to emulate or get this kind of notoriety for themselves by doing the same thing.

Here is the full transcript. I loved the last part describing the news conference

quote:
RUSH: This poor guy out in San Rafael, California, who's having to deal with questions from the media? He said, "Last question," about five times, but he keeps getting such stupid questions, he feels duty-bound to answer them. The last question I heard before I had to return here to the busy broadcast was, "Was his death accidental?"
"Uh, no, sir. Suicide is an intentional, intentful act. It isn't an accident. Last question."
"Well, where was his wife at 10:30 last night?"
"I don't know where Mrs. Williams was, and I wouldn't tell you if I did."
"Well, uh, is it possible he could come back to life and -- and...?"
"Sir, he committed suicide by hanging. That's the preliminary information we have."
"Well, what do you mean, 'preliminary'?"
"Well, when we finish the investigation, we'll have a final determination."
"You mean -- you mean...?"
"Sir, it just means that everything is normal here. The only thing different is you're here. Everything we're doing is what we do in every circumstance when this happens with any citizen in our county. The only difference is you are here," meaning the media.
"Well, well, was he naked, or was...?"
"Sir, he was clothed. This was not an autoeroticl sexual act, sir."
"Oh, damn! Okay."
(sigh) Man, oh, man, oh, man. The media just... You know, anybody can be... What do you think the percentage is of media people who are actually low-information, incompetent people themselves?

I listened to most of Rushs show yesterday. Did you? The linked article was as usual incomplete. He was describing "survivors guilt" in response to the comments from RWs friends saying RW suffered from it. He did say that suicide often stems from very pessimistic view of the world and that is a leftist trait. But at no time did I hear him say what the OP title says. Par for the course.
Rush generally tackles the hard stuff; political correctness and people's feelings aside. For that, he'll be damned by about 40% of those who hear his out-of-context commentary. Usually presented by those who are ideologically polar. Like this one.
I've been thinking about Williams. The key to understanding the man (his death) is found in the way he reacts to everyday people on the street. Across the board, re casual acquaintances, he always goes into 'character'. That indicates that he such has become his way of giving/expressing love to them that he chooses to love. The man had a great desire to love, in his nature/heart. A great awareness, as exhibited by the speed and creative genius of his mind.
Great awareness...means that one becomes acutely aware of ALL THINGS. Both Love...and it's opposite...Evil. If one is swept away or long indulges in the contemplation/experience of Evil - as Libs/Leftist are inclined to do, rightfully so - then one WILL be psychologically affected accordingly. Toxic to the soul. Even Mother Teresa was brought to doubting her Faith toward the end.
There are two way to fight against this psychological power. Firstly...intellect - understanding the dynamic - and employing will in BALANCING the power of Evil, with the power of Love. A book I read long ago, said that "the art of a warrior is balance"...."between terror and wonder". The 'warrior', being one who dutifully chooses to explore...and know and understand, as a matter of personal and civic responsibility. I.e., to love.
The second, is to have the outside and real help of the Good Lord, when one's personal cognition, intellect and will fall short; and one indulges or is swept away for whatever reason. This second option (Jesus' power) is only real - and to the degree - that an individual BELIEVES it to be. Totally subjective...just like the existence of God. And as such, highly controversial, as this option in fact...does not objectively exist, for unbelievers.
Both Williams and Rush are good guys. We all end up in the same Energy/Consciousness Pool...sooner or later. And our acceptance of that powerful eventuality, is made easier by the degree that we understand and embrace/love life. All of it. Both sides. And with some 'help', like any 'child' would need.
Earth 2014.

So a man that has his own opinion, albeit different than yours, says something that teeters on the edge of decency allows you the right to get on your soapbox? Guess what Rex...... You and all of your libtard frickers just got trolled by Rush Limbaugh like yall always do. Yall have made him, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and fox news your biggest enemy, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.
You are such a dumbfrick you are not even worth a down vote anymore.
