I don't have too many opinions on the guy, but he was someone who used his network to mock those who died of aids, compared gay marriage to 'normalizing pedophilia', etc.
I'm not celebrating nor mourning his death, but yeah, anyone who would do those things isn't of good moral character.

Even if not 'good' its pretty understandable for anyone who is lgbtq+ to be gloating over his death.
If some prominent member of the KKK died I, nor most other black people would be sheading any tears over it, that's for damn sure.
And while comparing him to the Klan may not be the most accurate comparison, thats how I would imagine it would feel like to those Limbaugh hated.

Limbaugh wasn’t perfect, as no man is. He expressed regret over those comments and he wishes he never said them - when you’re on radio for that long, you’re gonna have some bad quotes - it’s better not to judge people off of their worst traits, which is something democrats love to do.

Skaveria wrote:I just don't like how callous our society is getting.
I see people, some of whom I know aren't even religious, going out of their way, against their own criticisms of fundamentalist belief, to wish torment on someone. It's nasty stuff.

I mean yeah I agree and feel that sentiment tbh.
But despite my not liking it, I've acknowledged or accepted that's how it is, (for the detriment of society) for now, at least.

Skaveria wrote:Wishing death or eternal torture on ANYONE is messed up.

This I disagree with as I think some definitely deserve it.
Mainly those who commit, participate or lead in genocides, like Hitler and Stalin.
That's not a category of which a radio host falls under, but obviously others have other standards, which are much lower then my criteria.
Again, for the detriment of society, but, not like there's a simple way to change it, so acknowledgment of why is all that can be done.

Eh, bad quotes is a pretty big simplification.
Him celebrating, or at the very least getting humor from, the death of people because it was from aids, is a pretty direct view of what his true moral character is.
Obviously after getting outrage/pushback for it he stopped, but that's the case with most 'controversial' or bad things that catch the eye of the public, rarely do peopled double down when called out on things like that.
Ironic that a man who cheered other's deaths is now having his death cheered.

If there's anyone who was outraged over what Limbaugh said, and is also outraged about people celebrating his death, then that is great, those people are of a rare and good character.
But otherwise, its a double standard.

Bad quotes isn’t a pretty big simplification. Everybody has said things in bad taste and either for immature or other bad reasons. People develop over life and while it may have been a “good indication of his moral character” at the time (though I’d be haste to ever do that, let alone off of a single comment) he said he regretted it and it was one of the worst things he’s ever done. What more do you want from the guy?

And of course, that is a double standard - I am only speaking for Limbaugh.

I tend to ignore what a few degenerates say on twitter. that place is a cesspool

Did he really regret them? If so, admitting that would be a sign of maturity and growth for him. Not everyone can admit that they were wrong.

The New York Times reported that Limbaugh eventually stopped the segment after a few weeks and said it was "very insensitive to people who were dying."

He called it one of the "most regretful things I've ever done.”

I didn't know him personally, but am acquainted enough with someone who does to know that he was a sincere man who grew and matured over the years to love people in spite of their moral stupidity. And People in groups are morally stupid in their natural state of savagery to the point of irredeemable evil. The miracle is when people as groups actually accomplish some form of indelible beneficence or a lasting good.

Wise people can go one of two directions in life -- they can become more cynical and grow to hate everybody (sometimes themselves as well) in order to justify their existence. More often than not they end up loving the concept of "humanity" or certain types of individuals, but ironically end up hating people in general and certain individuals in particular) corrupting their wisdom into profane foolishness.

Or, they realize that we are all equally flawed human beings who are all in the same boat sinking or swimming together on this spinning rock who need more than one second chance at redemption without getting others killed. That is the tricky part. Bad ideas get people killed -- murdered by the millions.

On the other hand, good ideas allow people to be free to live, love, make mistakes (without getting themselves and others killed), and learn and grow from those mistakes into greatness. The latter (according to one who did know him) is what Rosh was, and believed. His greatness was based on the soundness of the goodness of the ideas he espoused.

Good ideas are based on Objective truth, do justice impartially, and act in loving-kindness. Rush became man enough to apologize and repent for various things he did and said as he grew and developed distinguishing the persons infected with bad ideas from the bad ideas (that get millions killed) themselves. He loved America because the Ideas that America is founded on -- Truth, Justice, Liberty, Free Enterprise and Equality are noble concepts worth loving and emulating. Those things that America has done that do not live up to those impeccable standards needs to be decried, rejected, and reformed (as each generation of Americans (including Rush) have done.)

How many people are defending his comments on people dying of Aids? Anyone? He didn't even defend that, he said what he did was terrible. I see plenty of people saying what he said was terrible and then celebrate his death. If mocking someone who died of an incurable disease is bad why is it okay to mock Rush, who died of cancer?

Nah, how about mandatory sunset clauses for bills with less than 2/3 majority

I'm tired of being angry all the time. Is there any chance the hippies were right and we can all just sing a big kumbya and get along? It's just too much to care about anymore. Makes me want a cabin in the mountains. The air there is so crisp.
