No words ... I just got news the Rush Limbaugh has passed away. thanks Rush for all you taught, gave and were. A hero to many. An icon. A patriot. A revolutionary that saved radio. Heavens gain, our loss.

Same with McCain, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings.
RWers here are sick ****s.
Fake news. Those were obviously dems hacking CPDC repub profiles. I wanna know what was Soros doing when all of those were "supposedly " made? [Reply]

Those who didn’t listen regularly (or at all) have no clue what he was doing here; In his own words, “demonstrating absurdity by being absurd”. Tobacco is soooo deadly that we must tax to fund government programs it instead of just making it illegal.
So much of what he caught hell for over the years was either making a point or just plain satire. But one would have to actually, you know, listen to get it. [Reply]
I stand corrected...and disappointed. It's a tragedy how ugly politics has become and I don't think we've seen the worst. That being said it's also a shame you and others joined the ranks of the above posts.

Maybe dying of lung cancer was just an elaborate Andy Kauffman-style joke. [Reply]

He was speaking of second hand smoke...and the reason (as I'm sure you know) that prices have soared on cigarettes is because the government loves the taxes they generate. [Reply]

You know, really speak for us conservative rednecks. And by the way I don't want anybody making fun of his death I want you to show him the same respect he showed people who died of AIDS.
Reminding myself today -except for dictators, rapists and killers- if you have nothing good to say about a dead person, better not to say anything at all.
