Rush Limbaugh Dead at 70

Andy Towle February 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

Rush Limbaugh

Homophobic, racist conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has died of lung cancer, his wife announced on his radio show Wednesday.

FOX News reports that “Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show.”

People adds: “Limbaugh had been diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2020 and spoke candidly, as was his wont, as his treatment wore on and his prognosis darkened. He had been off the air in recent days, with guest hosts filling in.”

"What strikes me the most as an observer of Limbaugh’s career over the past 12 years is his frequent jaw-dropping cruelty. He mocks the suffering of others and trains his audience not to sympathize with people different from themselves" https://t.co/D2nt42bzqT

Trump, speaking on Fox about Rush Limbaugh in his first press interview in weeks, says: "I always seem to like people who like me. It's much easier.. Call that a weakness.

All I can think of is the Sunday circa ‘94 I arrived at my desk at ESPN to find an awestruck Rush Limbaugh standing there looking into the ESPN Newsroom, gushing over our work, and quietly saying “I’d trade everything I’ve ever had if I could co-host SportsCenter.”

Wish he had.

“When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.”

If Rush Limbaugh deserves credit for anything, it his pioneering work in spreading disinformation and directly enabling our nation's current state of vast distrust of experts and spurning of good faith in the public discourse. He will not be missed by rational adults.

Rush Limbaugh died during Black History Month. Interesting.

Whether you loved him or hated him-and there are very few people in between-Rush Limbaugh was indisputably a force of historic proportions.
Over the past three decades,he did as much to polarize our politics as anyone and laid the groundwork for Trump and Trumpism.
