Goodbye to the man who saved AM radio.

[RED333]

Dad burn, would listen just about every day if I could. He will be missed, God's speed Rush.

And the Left rejoices.  Didn't listen to Rush, but caught a few clips of his now and then when others would report on what he said.  seemed to be a real smart man. may he RIP.

There's something terribly, horribly wrong with some people in this country. I took a look at some of the tweets out of Hollywood and from certain left-wing activists. Just sickening stuff! These are supposed to be the tolerant among us....

Trying really hard to respond in a way that isn't snarky. People on this very forum celebrated when RBG and McCain died. Both sides are nasty these days.

They are going to run best of in the regular timeslot. I expect them to do a real good job of it. Get it while you can...

I'd put any of our comments up against even the lightest left sites comments any day.  And I am a little out of  tolerance lately.

[frankmako]

R.I.P. Rush.  Started with you when you did the TV show in 1990.

I don't recall anybody here telling them to "rest in piss" or that they were glad they lived long enough to get cancer.  There's really no comparison between the two sides.

I don't think comparisons of this site and others (left or right) are apt.  A higher standard of decorum is a good thing about this site.  We should hold ourselves to it here without regard to the rest of the internet.  The vitriol of left or right isn't my vibe, so I think that's why I keep coming here.

Even if I don't feel compelled to celebrate his career, I've enough compassion to have a thought for Rush's struggle with cancer, along with his family and their loss.  Cancer is a horrible thing for someone to endure in their final days, also hard on the family and friends.  Good thoughts are free, so I'll run some up.

R.I.P. Mr. Limbaugh. I listened to him a lot. 

[OLDNEWBIE]

Started listening to him during the Bill Clinton Years when I had a welding gig that turned into a Box Truck Driver job once a week. Hours in the Truck listening to Rush "woke" me up politically. I had already been a Talk radio listener but formats were about health, sports, Roswell aliens etc. Rush was new!

Now here we are in 2021 and Political talk all the time 99% conservative. Remember when the left tried a radio station and it failed? It takes critical thinkers to digest political talk radio. No flashy graphics or accompanying pics to skew your thoughts like the MSM. Just common sense. 

I honestly feel as bad as things seem now, without Rush this Country would be full blown progressive by now. He "woke" alot of folks to what was going on and by example started careers of all the Ben Shapiros, Glenn Becks, Crowders etc. and the slew of Right of Center podcasters and influencers, many of whom are so called minorities. The very people Rush and his type were always falsely accused of  hating.  This gives me hope.

Thank you Rush and may you Rest in Peace!
