[W:207]Rush Limbaugh announces he has 'advanced lung cancer'

Tell that to all the DP-ers who copy and paste everything he says on a daily basis.
The man has been keynote speaker for countless Republican events.
You say he's an entertainer, I say he's a political messiah for all things having to do with the Right Wing.

Correct. 4F anal cyst Limbaugh’s stated goal on air was to destroy the political MIDDLE. He did. He wanted to divide the country into left and right because he knew the right was more rabid. He won.

His ‘hAlfrican American’ diatribes and verbal diarrhea at his political enemies was even more acute when they Died and/or were sick with his type of illness.

Limbaugh is the intellectual leader of today’s GOPutiNazis. Republican politicians are just as afraid of him as they are of 4F trump.
 
I expect this thread will go a certain way with tolerant liberals wishing all sorts of pain and torture on Limbaugh because they dont like his opinion, but Im sure Rush doesnt care. He knows he won the war, but no one lives forever. And he inspired 100s more 'conservatives' into getting their opinion out there.

Hopefully he will retire and enjoy his life if its not going to go much longer. Politics is not that important.

Would you just stop? Both sides act this way, and it is abhorrent when either side does it.
 
Rush is the only conservative radio jock I sometimes listen too. He tended to be very accurate in his predictions and analysis. I don't care what anyone else's opinion is. I make my own opinions. The others just do what the Democrats on radio and TV do - rant and rage, nothing else.

Which ones are those?PolitiFact |
 
I disagree, while I don't wish harm on anyone, especially something like lung cancer, people like Rush are people who spread messages of hate and evil. People who spread hate messages, especially on the level he did are the very same people we are fighting with over the future of America. You can choose to not label that type of person an enemy but someone I feel is attempting to destroy things I value, someone I fight to keep from spreading their messages is someone I consider an enemy.

What? Hate and evil? What radio shows are you listening to? It’s clearly not Rush Limbaugh.

I mean unless like all liberals you view non leftists as literal enemies.
 
Just curious if second hand smoke is a possible risk with cigars.

Of course. All smoke is cancerous. Even forest smoke. Industrial chemical crap even worse.
 
Cigars are not a serious lung cancer risk
Boy are you wrong.
 
Oh please. There are people on the right (usually the talibornagains) that get positively giddy envisioning someone they disagree with roasting in hell when they die. I remember when Christopher Hitchens died, there were were right wing religious folks that couldn't contain their happiness.

more tolerant inclusive leftism. good thing i want nothing to do with their definitions of what they think words mean.
 
My only contribution to this thread is that sometimes vile people experience a radical transformation in their outlook on life, their attitude, and the way they treat others, all because of coming down with a serious illness. I don't like this person, but it's hard to know what's really going on inside him spiritually and in his private life during his time. For all we know he could see the light in his final days.

Lung cancer has one of the worst outlooks for any cancer. I think only colon and pancreatic are worse. He will for sure be fighting an uphill battle, especially if he has been a long-term smoker.
 
Stupid people are the enemy. Not entertainers.

He is one of those people.

Also these stupid people are heavily influenced by his loud rhetoric. A person preying on the stupid and manipulating them doesn't make them free of judgement by me. Don't get me wrong, it is a terrible disease and I am not celebrating his illness, but I am not going to pretend he isn't a huge part of the problem in this country. This country would be a better place if not for fear mongers and racists like him.

Rush destroyed a false middle that never existed. In the 70s the hard left thought their agenda was inevitable so they legalized abortion without a vote of the people, create lawlessness and disorder in America’s cities, normalized drug culture which has caused countless deaths both here and in Latin America, and this was couched in terms of a “moderate” political platform that never existed, people just assumed this moderacy existed because the corporate media was broadcasting it. Rush found a way to unify the conservatives and let them know we all existed and it was possible to fight back against this narrative
 
best wishes for a full recovery. cancer is awful.
 
more tolerant inclusive leftism. good thing i want nothing to do with their definitions of what they think words mean.

Hey, if you read this thread, you will see that I am not gleeful that he has this disease. It is an abhorrent practice for either side to do so.

I can talk to you all day long about my dislike for the personae, but I am very sorry that the man has this disease.

Stop trying to make every damned thing into a left versus right war.
 
Everyone in this world has people who love them or hate them. I wish everyone with this disease the best of luck. I wish there would be a cure for this one day in the near future. I wish Rush uses some of the time he has left to talk with the many people he has listening to him to stop and and all tobacco products immediately.
 
Glen Beck and Fox News have certainly inspired violence in the past.

Violent criminals, terrorists and such always employ the convenient excuse. It's always a psychotic scumbag grabbing at excuses and whatever is nearby and can be rationalized is blamed. Deep South, gonna be a Confederate flag. Mideast, gonna be false Islam. Whatever is geographically nearest the nutbag scumbag becomes the excuse.

We don't accept their excuses. Insane monsters are not gonna tell us why they did it. It's completely ****ed up to accept a criminal's excuse of "they made me do it".

It's like Rush was destined to be called to do it again, now, to fight TDS everywhere we look.

I really didn't think this thread would bring out the absolute worst in those who, for whatever reason, don't share shock-jock Limbaugh's snarky right-wing punditry.

I was wrong. :roll:
 
This is so profoundly true of left wing pundits.

The irony of this entire thread with me is that Rush is a profound life long APPLE fan.

A company that is very liberal, and yet hated by other liberals.

He's probably sold more iphone 11's than all of their commercials combined.

So much for his blind liberal hatred......eh?

maybe you should tell that to the guy i responded to.
 
Regardless of the crap that you are putting out, I never heard Rush present any hatred that you speak of.

Mock the agenda..................absolutely!

Mock the Person...................absolutely!

Hate? He left that up to people like you.

Infamous quotes from the 'right-revered' Rush Limbaugh, these can be found anywhere on the internet. These aren't hearsay, these aren't 'made up', these are HIS WORDS and they're vile and disgusting. Any American citizen should be reviled and revolted by his hatred. But YOU AREN'T, and that says a whole lot about you! I couldn't post them all because I ran out of characters allowed in a post. But here's the link to the poisonous things said by Rush Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh 'Racist Quotes' List

Rush Limbaugh's most outrageous moments in 25 years on the radio | MSNBC

1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

6. ”Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.”

8. “I think it’s time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call ‘em gangs.”

9. “Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier.”

Comments made on his radio program in October 2006 after Fox, who has Parkinson’s Disease, appeared in a series of ads for candidates who supported government-funded embryonic stem cell research. (Source: Washington Post)

11. “Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

13. “Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, what’s to complain about?”

14. “Everything in Africa’s called AIDS. The reason is they get aid money for it. AIDS is the biggest pile of-the biggest pot they throw money into.”

20. “I’m a huge supporter of women. What I’m not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose, and feminism has led women astray. I love women. I don’t know where all this got started. I love the women’s movement, especially when walking behind it.”

Bonus: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

1. “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

Rush Limbaugh announces he has '''advanced lung cancer''' | Fox News

Sad news coming from FL. today, and while I've never listened to his show, I know many listen religiously.
I wish him all the luck in the world. Not an easy gig for anyone; lung cancer. Not sure if he was a smoker.
Rush is 69 years old.

I have been listening to him since 1992 thereabouts. I heard him today when he announced. I hope he beats his cancer. Hopefully he eases off of the politics and talks about other things. He is at his absolute best when he does.

Sometimes the insane just need a little push, or someone to point them in a direction.
