RIP Rush...you had such insight and wisdom. I didn't listen to you a lot but when I did I always appreciated your perspective

Likewise. Rush may have done more than anyone to give "The Silent Majority" a voice to be heard.

Best wishes to his family during these difficult times. Always enjoyed listening to him for 5 minutes until the next 10 minute commercial break. His show was epic, but got way toooooooo commercialized. RIP Rush!

I feel bad for his family and friends, but personally, I could not take his opinions. I understand I'm in Redland, but he rarely, if ever, tried to discuss both sides of an issue. I think he promoted obvious falsehoods which did not calm the storm.

And Wikipedia, a liberal subjective opinion publication has nothing but disgraceful points about his life...they are pathetic and sad. He was an icon and legend who came from humble beginnings and had over 20+ million listeners...not the 15 million they quote.
Haters will always hate. Rest in Peace, sir. You did your best.

When you spew hate (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rush-limbaugh-mock-aids-gays/), people will hate you back. He loved being hated so he could perform his caller abortions.

He discussed the side that you would never hear. To hear “ the other side” just turn on any news outlet. Even the news at the top and bottom of the hour on his show.

He was not a reporter
He was a conservative talk show host.......he was not on the air to tell both side that’s what reporters are for.
He was standing up the the silent minority and he did a great job and getting our voices out

Rush gave millions of dollars to Tunnel 2 Towers and various other wonderful causes. Even if you did not agree politically with him, how could anyone possibly disparage him. Especially in this past year after his diagnosis, Rush taught me a lot about the value of life and thanking God for every day that we have. RIP dear Rush.

Omg......they say people are born evil and are taught to be good.......I guess you missed a few life lessons
Lesson 1: have respect for the ones grieving
Lesson 2: if you don’t have anything nice to say keep quiet

I have to say I am floored that the adults on this thread are acting so shameful.
Let’s be real there is a person that 50% don’t like and 50% of do like him. This can be any person in any walk of life because the fact is we all will never 100% agree on everything thing and every view.
But when a person passes away no matter who it is there are love ones, friends, families, followers, admirers and co-workers that will grief that person. So posting ugly comments is inexcusable and uncalled for.
Have respect for the ones who grief them.
This is not the time to show your hate.
Aren’t we all supposed to be adults and know better and do better.

I have listened to Rush since his first day as a talk show host in Sacramento in 1984. He has lived a wonderful productive honest life. His views reflect the values that founded our country. Those who cannot respect this should take words from George Bust Sr. “Hatred corrodes the container it is carried in.”

LOL, like blueland folks never promoted falsehoods...I just spit out my coffee laughing. That is not what this thread is about. Blueland cannot even give a man one days respect upon his death...
So you can forgive him for his penchant for peddling conspiracy theories and rhetoric that mocked and demonized marginalized people. This isn't about Blue or Red Land, it's about being truthful, and he lacked it repeatedly to garner ratings. I thought it was disingenuous and insincere on his part.

That is just a pure evil statement
There is hate and then there pure evil and I see where you fit in
Rush Limbaugh used to have a segment on his show where he would list the names of private citizens who died of AIDS and use sound clips of celebratory horns and fireworks. Where does that fall on the spectrum of evil?

I listened to Rush almost every day when I lived in Sacramento and he was on our local station KFBK back in the 80's. I ended up on the air for a couple of contests and they told me both times that Rush wanted to talk to me live on air. He was so kind, respectful, funny...what a great guy! I will forever miss him and forever be a ditto fan!

They were never taught if they have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all! We live in such a disrespectful world! So easy for people to hide behind a keyboard and say anything they want to say!

Rush was an Entertainer. Some of his words he didn’t even believe himself. He was from an area of the Midwest not many miles from my birthplace. RIP

He used to have a segment where he mocked and celebrated people who died of AIDS. So, now we can't mock him? I suspect he went to the gates of hell, and the devil said, "There's only room for one of us here." He created so much hate and division in the country. You want me to say something good about him? He's dead, good.
