We’ve been batting this one around for a few months now. His effect on politics and media was incredible like him or not. He was 70.

I can't think of a more insensitive thing to say, or of a more loathsome person, than TC Talks.

A true radio pioneer has passed away, Rush Limbaugh, after battling cancer at the age of 70. Limbaugh was a master of finding his audience and super serving them. His formula for success has served many of us in broadcasting well over the years. Don't talk at but to those listening and make them part of your family. He did it better than anyone else and his way of doing will never be duplicated. He had the ears of millions a week and those who understood his one on one approach be it in talk or music radio also garnered more ears than others. He made radio relevant and his passing will be felt industry wide. To his family, friends and fans, my sincerest sympathies on your loss. To us in the broadcast industry one of our own has crossed over. RIP sir and thank you for the lessons in creating a relationship with listeners that makes a difference.

Extremely well stated!

So long Limbaugh.

Maybe Trump will take your spot on the schedule. He had said he considered hosting his own radio talk show once but didn’t want to go up against RL for ratings.

Trump would be a logical choice as RL replacement.
Both rabid racists who enjoy watching humans draw blood as they fight. Both misogynists. Both evil dividers of the American people. Both arrogant and domineering. Both keen manipulators of other human’s passions. Both oversized egos engaged in constant self-promotion. Bullies. Sadists. With abundant overt anger. And a heaping need for greed.

Charity? Horse feathers! Just more self-promotion and a way to tell yourself you’re not such a bad guy. Sad.

Good thing God is merciful - because you’ve inspired millions - like Trump - to gleefully destroy The United States of America with racism, sadism, and guilt-free dishonesty.

Trump visited Michigan a week after John Dingell died 2 years ago. He made a speech, and was asked a question about Dingell, Trump looked at the ground and said 'I think John might be looking up at us.'

Right? I'm not feeling too upset that some of our posters are morally outraged that I'm making fun of Rush Limbaugh's fate.

I can admire his ability to forge a new path in the radio industry. But he also advocated for things that are completely unjust and opened the door to the vile political climate we live in.

Limbaugh claimed many shootings were faked & the victims were false flag actors. He trafficked in outright lies in order to gain fame & fortune. Just like Alex Jones he had to fall back on the "I'm an entertainer not a newscaster" when sued because of the consequences of his speech, of course Rush also had to claim he is somehow a victim who was addicted to painkillers.

Be an awful person in life, and you'll be remembered as an awful person upon death. Pretty simple.

Huffington Post:

Decades Of Hate
A full accounting of Limbaugh’s lies and exaggerations; his racism and his misogyny; his homophobia and his Islamophobia; and his sheer cruelty could fill books — and have — but even a cursory overview of his lowlights makes his prejudice clear.

In 2003, he was forced to resign from ESPN after stating that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was only receiving praise because the media was “very desirous that a Black quarterback do well.” In 2004, Limbaugh said the NBA should be renamed the T.B.A. —“the Thug Basketball Association.” He then added: “Stop calling them teams. Call ’em gangs.” He similarly whined that watching the NFL was like watching “a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons.”

Once, after arguing with a Black man who called into his show, he told the caller to “take that bone out of your nose and call me back.“ Another time, Limbaugh asked his audience, “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?” while discussing the Black civil rights activist and politician. Limbaugh once ludicrously asserted that “if any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it’s Caucasians.” He invited a guest on air who sang “Barack, the Magic Negro” to the tune of “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” In 2016, he read an essay on air that had been penned by a well-known white supremacist.


Limbaugh’s radio career was also one long exercise in misogyny, perhaps best summed up by his thesis that “feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.”

In one of his most infamous episodes, he called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” in 2012 after she testified in Congress about the importance of women having access to birth control.

Nearly every marginalized group or minority bore the brunt of Limbaugh’s bigotry. Once, while speaking about the genocide of America’s indigenous peoples, Limbaugh said, “Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only 4 million left? They all have casinos, what’s to complain about?”

Limbaugh frequently mirrored white nationalist talking points when discussing Latino immigrants, whom he described as lazy and dependent on the government. He called migrants at America’s southern border an “invasion.”

An opponent of marriage equality — which he suggested was “perverted” and “depraved” — Limbaugh argued in 2016 that legalizing gay marriage would lead to bestiality. “What happens if you love your dog?” he said. He once referred to transgender people as being mentally ill.

Throughout the 1980s and ’90s, Limbaugh also frequently denigrated those who were HIV positive, saying the best way to stop the spread of the virus was to “not ask another man to bend over and make love at the exit point.” He spoke out against federal funding to fight the virus too, calling it the “only federally protected virus.”

I need to go dig up my signed picture of Rush and sell it on Ebay. This is probably the best opportunity to capitalize on him.
