That's a pretty big stretch there on his part.

You are right.

Everyone here you disagree with listens to Rush and watches Fox.

Draconian figured all that out a few weeks ago for you and everyone else.

Is it your position that Rush is justified in saying vile things because Air America is no longer on the air?

OP title is, to quote poli-style, extremely misleading.

And my very wise uncle once taught me a long time ago, "It takes one to know one."

bullshite.

The audio clip is embedded within the link. Rush describes the "political leftist" attitude of pessimism and darkness and how Robin Williams's suicide fits. FITS.

I don't know about left vs. right, but the "genie, now you're free" tweet bothered me

a complete lack of perspective...as if life was just so horrible that the sweet embrace of death is better. a North Korean prison camp escapee, a holocaust survivor or any starving 3rd world child who tries/is trying to survive constantly might disagree...and probably wouldn't empathize with a millionaire who has a drinking problem.

Does anybody listen to his shite any more


you dress up like a fricking dog, and your hobbies include "making gay costumes" so you probably aren't the one who should come on here belittling ANYTHING.

ETA: what do you know, your OP is bullshite...shocked

He often says leftists have a pessimistic view of the world. Just another typical comment from him.
I heard a very sympathetic view of RW from him. If he was trying to attak someone it was the media for the sensationalism. Worried that the "social media" groupies looking for eternal fame may try to emulate RW.
As usual the OP and his acolytes are full of Shiite.
Edit:
And as for Rex - if he posts it on the poliboard it is at least out of context and most probably a complete lie.
I am on vacatin and posting from my iPhone. Cannot copy and paste for quotes and have no access to mass media. So I cannot comment on media coverage. I suspect Rush is right though - huge sensationism that may lead a weak mind seeking attention to emulate RW. That was my take from Rushs show yeasterday - NOT blaming liberalism for his death.
Rex lying again. Shocked I tells ya - shocked I am.

Rush isn't any shittier than you are, Rex.

But at least, for his sake, he learned how to make millions doing what he does, while you are a pathetic soul who needs government assistance to pay for your health insurance while you sit at home and continuously troll this board.

I'd rather be Rush Limbaugh than you any day.

The article seemed fishy to me and seemed edited to create a false impression.

I was right. Here is the actual transcript. He didn't say one thing that could be considered offensive, Raw Story just structured the article to make it seem like he did:

What do you mean, I dress up like a fricking dog? How often do I dress up like a dog?

No, my hobbies don't include making gay costumes, although gay people are perfectly welcome to enjoy them.

Got any more bullshite to spew?

And yet you're obsessed with me.

But isn't yours a typical Republican attitude? That the worth of a person is measured in dollars?

Are you saying this isn't true?
Only the sickest and darkest could turn depression into a left vs. right issue. The fact that Rush, and people like him, are still on the air says a lot about our society.
