I don't wish death upon people, but I'm not exactly praying for a swift recovery.

I don't know the guy and don't feel that my thoughts have anything to do with his recovery. I don't know celebrities, so I don't 'feel' for them anymore than I would any other stranger.

I wouldn't want to see Limbaugh's loved one's hurt through the loss of him, but let's be serious, his words negatively affect many more people than Limbaugh has in his circle of friends and family. I don't feel like having positive thoughts for someone that thrives on negativity.

same. I don't hate him enough to wish death, but its hard to feel sympathy on someone who thrives on a career promoting lies and ignorance. I don't know the guy, maybe he is nice if you get passed the politics, but on the mean time I'm trying to wish for a speedy recovery.

Exactly. If I am going to take the time to feel empathy for a person I don't know, there's plenty of starving children in America who deserve it more than him.

Once he returns to his radio show, I bet he'll say something to the effect of... "if I had these chest pains in the era of Obamacare, I'd be waiting in the ER waiting room for two weeks before any doctor treated me"

Naw, Obama's "deth panel" would have weeded him out for "end of life care", where they basically just roll his gurney into a furnace.

I wondered, especially after the reports showed it ended up being... nothing at all, but so far, I haven't heard him say anything about the health care system, so I don't think it was a stunt. If it was, it was more poorly executed than a David Blaine stunt.

yea, except most of his listeners don't make his kind of income and can afford premium insurance.

So? All of Beck's listeners listened to him bitch about how he couldn't get health care for a long time and then completely forgot about it when he turned around and said our system is perfect. These people listen; they don't remember, and they definitely don't think. If Rush claimed to be Jesus, his listeners would say "amen."

He used one's face as a launching pad almost when my friend's dog was barking...he jumped out of his cage, then launched from her face (she was sitting a foot or two away from the cage) and then landed on the tv. And he charged my roommate's daughter...seven times (which was bold because she had some pink cowboy boots on and could have probably kicked him if she felt threatened).

Rush doesn't have health insurance. He pays out of pocket. He chooses not to have life insurance because he doesn't want to deal with the bureaucracy. He believes that Americans should be fiscally responsible enough to earn as much money as he does to afford their own health care. I think in an ideal world, Rush believes every American can earn a six-figure income.

Oh, of course. It's extremely easy. That's why my dad is the lowest-paid person in his position at work, despite being the only one who has a family to feed and getting the highest quality reviews.

Rush has a warped view of the world. What I stated previously was based on a few of his ramblings since he came back on air a few days ago. He addresses criticism that he (being a millionaire) is out of touch with most Americans. But he kept emphasizing that through his adult life, he's been broke a few times. The truth of the matter is that Rush has a talent for manipulating facts, spewing out the same conservative principles over and over every day, and brainwash millions of listeners. That and he has no problem with endlessly plugging Carbonite and Life-Lock products throughout his program.

The White House put up a link to the Red Cross on their website so if people did want to donate money, they had a reliable source. Rush accused Obama of putting the link up to steal money from what funds were donated through that link to go to Haiti. He said that Obama was going to use that money for his campaign next election and anyone who did donate money would be receiving numerous communications from Obama regarding donations for his campaign for the next election. Limbaugh also said that the Haiti earthquake is going to further Obama's compassionate appeal to voters and would work in his favor regarding "light and dark skinned black people."

I shit you not, that's what he said on his radio show.
