re: Rush: Robin Williams killed himself because of a ‘political leftist’ attitude

That sucks. Who lives a lie intentionally? Who hears the truth, knows it's the truth, yet still rejects it?

I'm wondering if the OP expressed such outrage when Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a c***, or when Jeffery McDonald moved next door to the Palins as he wrote a book about them, or Andrew Sullivan's quest to prove that Trig was actually Bristol's son.

Just sayin'.

how are any of these comparable to using Williams suicide for political gain?

How is rush calling out the media for their reporting of RW suicide more political than media matters calling out Rush for his calling out the media for their reporting of the RW suicide?

Then he explained the media's worldview in covering Robin's death:

They (the media) 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...

so the reasons listed are:

*drug addiction (not drinking related)
*alcoholism
*debt from multiple divorce
*career failure (embarrassment of taking menial work)
*career disappointment(canceled show)
*chronic depression
*bi-polar
*survivors guilt

I'm sure I missed at least one if not more, but it's easy to see that there are some parallels between that list and the complaints of the leftist's world view and their condemnation of "the American dream" and all the faults with society of today. Yea I don't think Rush did a very good job drawing the comparisons or verbalizing how these agenda driven media elites go about glamorizing the problems Williams had and exacerbating the situation with their own politics. Media matters does a nice job of exposing their own agenda when they bend over backwards to contort anything Rush says, at least they remain consistent.

Exactly bmy. Suicide is no joking matter and joking about anyone who is now dead is very tasteless, regardless of how they got there. Calling someone out who is alive is totally different, it takes balls, something oxy-head must not have anymore.

These are the causes of his suicide? Wow, what a comprehensive list. My experience is that there are also hidden causes (ones you find out about later), unknown causes and pure bad luck. This list reads more like a philippic of Mr Williams, shameful

Correct. And that's why Rush did not. It's all a lie. Try to pay attention.

except that he did.

these mental gymnastics you're doing are pretty impressive though

Rush apparently just has a hard on for celebrities with Parkinson's. What a fricked up guy.

Lemme splain something to you about Parkinson's, Tuba. Since you are obviously totally ignorant of the disease.

My brother has Parkinsons. My golfing partner has Parkinsons. They both had brain surgery in the same month by the same surgeon. I posted it on this board when it happened. Look it up.

On a scale of 1-10, being 1= normal and 10 = vegetable; My brother moved from a 7 to a 6. My golf partner moved from a 4 to a 3.

Parkinsons does not have 'good days' and 'bad days.' You are not a 5 on M,W,F and a 9 on T,Th,Sat.

Michael J. Fox was acting. He's an actor. He can't be a 9 on TV and a 2 the next day. Rush called him on it. Rush was right.

You don't know shite about the disease. I do. You don't know shite about Rush. I do. That's why it's so much fun to watch you look like a total fool arguing about issues where you have no clue at all.

Carry on. It amuses me.
