RIP Rush

Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio pioneer, dead at 70

Can't say I was a big listener of Rush Limbaugh or even much of a fan. But I can say that he was an iconic radio voice and his presence in the political scene will be missed. Love him or hate him, it was impossible to ignore him!

“I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” ~ Mark Twain

Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday morning at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.

Limbaugh's wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show. "Losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life," she said. Rush will forever be the greatest of all time."

The radio icon learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First lady Melania Trump then presented America’s highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in an emotional moment on the heels of his devastating cancer diagnosis.

Limbaugh had a long history of racist, sexist and homophobic remarks. His political positions were often echoed by Republican lawmakers, and later conservative web bloggers.

The Left’s reaction to Rush Limbaugh’s death shows you everything

Leftism is a hate movement

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

rrb talking points came from him


In the Limbaugh lexicon, advocates for the homeless were “compassion fascists,” women who favored abortion were “feminazis,” environmentalists were “tree-hugging wackos.” He delivered “AIDS updates” with a Dionne Warwick song, “I’ll Never Love This Way Again,” ridiculed Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease symptoms, and called global warming a hoax.

He spread hatred every day

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

"Rush thought we won, and so do I, by the way. I think we won substantially… You would have had riots going all over the place if that happened to a Democrat. We don’t have the same support at certain levels of the Republican system.”

National call in radio shows existed long before Limbaugh went on the air, but he was the guy who made the format huge. There may be others who got higher ratings at times, but he was the king of talk radio for decades.

Indy it was a helluva concept that kept AM alive. Give programmers 3 hours and just sells ads

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Rush Limbaugh is responsible for the rise of the alternative reality media that challenged mainstream media narratives, conservative bloggers and put false conservatism like the former President on the map.

Many of the alternative reality outlets today can trace their roots back to Limbaugh. His radio show was capable gaslighting millions, creating false narratives, changing minds, and teaching people to think he knew everything.

My condolences to his family.

I was watching MSNBC today. They had a great story about South Dakota. The state is distributing covid-19 vaccine at the highest per person immunizations in the country.

I saw the sign of the town of Colome South Dakota. My father Ivan was born in Colome! I have many family friends who live there, or nearby.

I have been there many times.

Donald Trump Jr., tweeted, “If only McConnell was so righteous as the Democrats trampled Trump and the Republicans while pushing collusion bullshit for 3 years or while Dems incited 10 months of violence, arson and rioting. Yea then he just sat back and did jack shit.” Trump Jr. then called for impeaching “RINOs” and kicking them out of the GOP. And all of that was before Trump Sr. emerged from his post-election silence on Tuesday to rip McConnell as “a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack.”

As if those were not personal enough attacks, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, the Illinois Republican who has become one of the leading voices for making a stand against Trump’s abuses, was the target of a two-page letter from 11 relatives saying that the congressman had “embarrassed the Kinzinger family name.” (It’s worth noting here that, absent his courage and service, no one would even know the Kinzinger family name.)

Junior might run in 2028.

Why didn’t McQuaid speak out and make clear that Hunter Biden’s laptop was NOT Russian disinformation? His politics overruled his support for the truth.

He was talking to the Biden team about a job and at the same time allowed a false claim to linger.

When I was on Celebrity Apprentice, Rush Limbaugh made a donation of $100,000 dollars to St Jude Children's Hospital to support them, and my mission on the TV Show under the condition that he remained anonymous. I never said a word until now. He will be missed. #RIPRushLimbaugh

TEXAS’S WEATHER and power crisis continued to leave millions shivering across the state Wednesday even as the state’s Republican leaders seemingly lied about the reasons for the disaster. They blamed the blackouts on the state’s supposed overreliance on wind power and warned that transitioning to renewable electricity would spread Texas’s problems across the nation. Nonsense.
The Texas fiasco offers many lessons about keeping the lights on — lessons that Congress and state leaders must act on in the coming months. Not among them is the need to cancel a transition to cleaner sources of energy.
Frozen wind turbines represent only a small fraction of the problem in Texas. The real failure was a lack of preparation. Wind power generally slumps during the Texas winter, so state regulators do not assume they will get much from that power source. Rather, their plans rely heavily on natural gas power plants — and they are the predominant culprits in the current emergency. Across the state, the deep freeze shut down equipment to supply and burn natural gas for electricity, just as demand for electric heating surged and as demand for natural gas for home heating spiked. Freezing also forced one of the state’s nuclear power plants offline. If the state had been more reliant on coal power, as it was a decade ago, frozen coal piles could well have led to similar power plant failures.

The power grid decision pre-dated governor Greg Abbot. I don't think any Southern state ever thought they would ever face arctic weather wIth below zero temperatures.

The big failure was investing in wind and solar power. In every aspect those sources of energy failed when they are needed the most.

Charles Sykes is a former talk-radio host from Wisconsin. He is now editor at large at the Bulwark.
How big was Rush Limbaugh?
We are all now living in the world that he created in his own image.
No history of modern conservatism would be complete without recognizing that he was both the alpha and the omega; the founder of a right-wing media ecosystem and the architect of our current political moment — Donald Trump and all.
For decades, Limbaugh, who died of lung cancer on Wednesday at age 70, was at the center of it all. It is hard to overstate the role that the syndicated talk-radio host played in the transformation of the character and culture of the conservative movement. Every Republican over a certain age has a story about how they were inspired or influenced by him.
But his legacy is double-edged. Limbaugh pioneered the rise of the outrage/entertainment wing to dominance in the GOP, a project that culminated in Trump’s presidency and a political culture that is driven less by facts and substance than by snark, sophistry and alternative realities.
AD

To a degree that is not always understood on the left, Limbaugh invented a new genre in which conservatism could be entertaining, even fun. He was a master at using parodies as weapons. He was outrageous and daring; occasionally funny and charming, but also often dishonest and offensive.
While his friends describe him as gracious and generous, Limbaugh also cultivated an insensitivity that normalized cruelty, racism and misogyny.

This is how President Trump responded to the death of someone with different political beliefs.

Compare that to how the left is responding to Rush’s death.

That tells you everything you need to know.
