Rush Limbaugh has advanced lung cancer

[brokephibroke]

I don’t wish that upon anyone and hope he beats it...

Having said that there will be a huge competition to be the next number one shock jock when he goes away.

[Garion_55]

1. Yup

Joe Concha
@JoeConchaTV
Rush Limbaugh just announced on his radio program he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Says there will be days he won't be able to be there due to treatment...

[monmouth4]

2. I don't think he was a cigarette smoker, curious about that..n/t

[brokephibroke]

6. Formally nicotine stained fingers...

He always says that.

[underpants]

7. He was. Cigars now. I think.

[louis-t]

15. I remember him saying quitting smoking was

"the easiest thing I have ever done." I was forced to listen to him by a builder I used to work for.

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

150. One of the most important vehicles for splitting America apart

...has been 30 years of exactly that: Rightwing business owners, shop managers, foreman, and others with authority over a workplace brainwashing their captive employees with hours of Limbaugh every workday afternoon.

Any business I go in and hear Limbaugh playing, I take my business elsewhere... after telling them why I'm doing it.

Same with a tv playing Fox in a workplace.

[tenderfoot]

168. They never discuss that when the topic of polarized and its root causes.

Having nothing but Limbaugh to listen to at work since 1988 - is exactly how all the stoners from high school ended up as MAGAts.

[Mariana]

23. Lots of people get lung cancer who never smoked.

Happened to a friend of mine - he never smoked, never lived with anyone who smoked, never spent time in a workplace where people smoked, didn't go to smoky bars, etc. Smoking causes lung cancer, but it isn't the only thing that causes lung cancer.

Anyway, I think Limbaugh used to smoke cigarettes.

[The Genealogist]

33. I had a beloved great aunt who died from lung cancer

She was a sweet dear kind lady. She would never have considered touching liquor or cigarettes; smoking and drinking were both highly immoral behaviors. Sadly, she contracted lung cancer and it killed her.

[Lars39]

95. I had a cousin who also died of lung cancer, who had never smoked.

Had to be environmental.

[The Genealogist]

129. I am not sure what caused hers but I suspect so,ethnic envronmental as well

She lived in an old farmhouse for most of her life. It had had renovations over the years, I kind of thought perhaps asbestos could be the culprit. I still miss her to this day.

[LastDemocratInSC]

164. Radon in the environment can be a factor.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

133. Yeah. A friend of mine died at 43 from lung cancer.

She was a health nut/personal trainer/yoga instructor.

Radon exposure is the second largest factor after smoking, iirc.

[Throck]

40. IIRC a heavy former smoker.

[whopis01]

84. I don't know about cigarettes, but he has been a cigar smoker.

And has been for a very long time

[C_U_L8R]

127. Snorting Oxy probably didn't help

and lord knows what else. Too bad. I hope the guy makes peace with humanity before he shuffles off the mortal coil.

[JDC]

147. Cigars

[TygrBright]

3. I don't wish that on anyone either. Killed my father.

Hope he beats it and lives a nice long life watching Democrats take the WH and the Senate, reform Citizens United, bring about immigration normalization, implement a wealth tax, etc.

kindly,
Bright

[brokephibroke]

9. Well said.

I have listened to him from day one, He changed my life, I owe a lot to God by way of this messenger, Hearing this news it hit me as hard as if it were a biological family Member, Praying to the Lord God to let us borrow him for a while more, even if only sometimes, Amen.

[dem4decades]

176. Can't the Orange God on the White House cure him?

They pray to him too.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

177. I guess hate and lies are family values for these folks.

I’m sorry...that good people also get lung cancer. *That* isn’t fair.

[jimfields33]

119. Very good response

I add my hope to that.

[Takket]

122. Great post!!!

[malaise]

4. Famous words

If you have nothing good to say remain silent Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

open it and remove all doubt."

167. But I did put white wine on

[underpants]

5. Did he announce it today?

Caught some of his show at lunch didn’t hear it. I did hear the part about how Trump is a ray of sunshine and happiness.

[brokephibroke]

12. Yep, at the end...

[Lithos]

8. He smoked

Switched to e-cigarettes around 2010

L-

[calimary]

83. And wasn't he a cigar smoker too?

I can’t for the life of me understand the appeal of cigar smoking. The smell of that smoke is just FOUL.

[hlthe2b]

10. Yikes... Horrible way to die

And that is all I will say...

[lunatica]

11. I feel nothing

No joy and certainly no sympathy or pity.

To quote IMFLOTUS, “I don’t care. Do you?”

[maxsolomon]

13. No one will replace him - he's sui generis.

His malign influence will not be missed.

[Demovictory9]

17. he's hurt so many people.

[Baitball Blogger]

28. How long before a Republican blames the Democrats for his illness?

[Demovictory9]

80. not long.

[ZZenith]

16. Sad!

[milestogo]

18. I am in favor of anything that shuts him up.

[democrattotheend]

149. I agree with the OP - I can't wish cancer on anyone

I wish him a healthy recovery, but I can't say I'd be too sad if he decided after that to retire.

[UTUSN]

19. I don't aspire to "going high." What I e-mailed to my list:

I had just gotten into the car and missed the specifics, only that he was going to be out whenever and back when he could, then at the end “pulmonary (something) WITH MALIGNANCY.” I don’t actively wish bad things, but when bad things happen to bad people I think of the others who have suffered the same things, not focusing on *this* person. He said he has a very deep relationship with God, and has “worked this relationship a lot” these past weeks. Well but his God hasn’t worked LIMBOsevic’s insight into goodness for other people or his conscience over the horrid crap he has spread to the country. He was spewing the same hate minutes before the announcement and resumed it after the announcement. And the millions of dollars he has raised for charity proves the doctrine that “Good works don’t Save you.” Even if he has a Lee ATWATER repentance, there’s no reparation for the evil he’s done. Apologies and repentance don’t do anything.

When Laura INGRAHAM converted to Opus Dei type Catholicism, I strained to see in her behavior afterwards any sign of the Imitation of Christ, and have never seen it.

[gopiscrap]

55. me neither

fuck him, I hope it's painful and horrible for him

[jimfields33]

120. I can't go there because if something goes wrong with RBG

I can’t complain about repugs cheering. So I am as positive as can be so I’m ready to fight those who will be nasty about RBG, Pelosi or any in our democratic wonderful classy group.

[CTyankee]

64. Maybe laura can show her full devotion and enter a convent...one where they take a vow of

SILENCE for the rest of their lives...

[lunatica]

100. His god is power and wealth

So it makes perfect sense that he sits well with his god. It won’t save his life, but surely it would if it could!

[lpbk2713]

20. "Now get those donations rolling in friends."

"Any amount gladly accepted."

[Zolorp]

21. He'll have the best care in the world.

He can afford it.

[Demobrat]

93. That was my thought also

Care he would gleefully deny to others

[ismnotwasm]

25. Ugly

Surgery and chemo and radiation. Possible renal failure, liver failure heart failure. People fight cancer so hard, it’s so unfair and so horrific that when even when a shitbag like Limbaugh gets it, I want them to win

[cwydro]

75. Thank you for your classy post.

I dreaded logging in here when I heard the news.

This kind of thing shines a light on some here. Glad to see many are taking your stance instead of going low.

I don’t like him one bit, but I don’t wish illness on anyone.

[ismnotwasm]

109. You are welcome and, Yeah me either

Cancer steals too much from too many people and it’s never a friend

[nolabear]

135. Thank you. I despise everything he stands for, but I'm better than that.

I’ve lived in the shadow of my mother’s excruciating death from cancer my whole life. My father was an Agent Orange victim and he got cancer of everything—lungs, bladder, spine—it just consumed him. It’s a monstrous way to die. If I ever wished that kind of suffering in another human being I would hang my head in shame.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. I feel bad for the

cancer!

[TrunKated]

32. LOL...

Freakin LOL!

[Mister Ed]

30. Strange reaction on my part.

Day before yesterday, I was driving across North Dakota and listening to his show. There were points where I knew he was deliberately lying to his audience, and that made me seeth with anger.

And yet, when I saw your headline just now, I softly cried out in dismay, here at my desk. My first, reflexive, heartfelt reaction. Don't know what else to say.

[edhopper]

31. I can't bring up any emotion to care

terrible human.

But I also have no glee, as I would with Trump or Cheney among others.

[VMA131Marine]

34. I really don't give a fuck!

He does not deserve my sympathy because I’m sure I would not get his.

[Raster]

43. Flush Limpballs is one of the main reasons this country...

...is so divided. AND THE MOTHERFUCKER DID IT FOR MONEY.

Karma is a bitch. Asshole.

[brokephibroke]

48. Karma would be

A dem sweep of the WH and Congress. Karma would be trump in jail.

[brokephibroke]

51. Karma would be

His mansion lost in a raising sea.

[JenniferJuniper]

37. He is still

a piece of shit

[Maru Kitteh]

38. 10s of thousands of people who do not deserve such a horrible disease will die from it this year -

This one does.

[renate]

39. I like Rick Wilson's tweet (I loathe Limbaugh but don't want to go low about something like cancer)

Link to tweet

[klook]

69. I agree with TygrBright's post above --

I'd be very happy if Limbaugh lived another 25 years or so, to witness one Democratic victory after another.

If this were to somehow soften him up and make him admit the error of his ways (see Atwater, Lee), even better. I don't think he could ever reverse the damage he's caused, but he could make a tiny teensy difference if he were to speak out against his decades of hate.

[Cirque du So-What]

41. Is it wrong of me to imagine that he would buy the lungs of a healthy young person

no matter how they were acquired?

[brokephibroke]

44. He would get a transplant

But if it’s advanced, it’s prolly too late as it likely has metastasized.

[lame54]

42. Do we believe this?

[brokephibroke]

45. Sure

He is 99.9% right, eh?

[mitch96]

179. I would not put it past him... claim "miraculous recovery" nt

[lame54]

185. Trump will touch his head and - IT'S A MIRACLE!

[mitch96]

187. WATT!!! No flaming bush??? nt

[MontanaMama]

46. ...

I don't wish that kind of misery on anyone.

[berksdem]

47. "thought and prayers"

in all seriousness I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

[Roland99]

49. That's what took my dad. He never smoked a day in his life

My dad was an honorable, kind, giving soul

Fuck rush. Hope he dies penniless after insurance doesn’t pay up

[renate]

56. I'm so sorry about your dad

It must hurt so much to have lost a good man in this way.

[Roland99]

132. Thanks...been over 4yrs and still miss him dearly

[gopiscrap]

57. agreed

[llmart]

50. Huh...

That's all I got.

[JaneQPublic]

52. I wish him a speedy recovery and IMMEDIATE & FULL retirement.

Can't stand the guy, but not about to root against anyone suffering with cancer.

[JohnBoltonsmustache]

53. I Used actually listen to him in Sacramento

Before he went political and national. He was actually quite entertaining, self-deprecating, and open about his personal life. He found his niche there tearing down the Democratic establishment in California and used that shtick to gain a right-wing following and attention.

[sarisataka]

54. I have known too many people

Who have died due to this disease to feel the smallest drop of pleasure from this announcement.

[KatyMan]

58. May his disease

Be long and painful. Maybe he can experience the wrong that he has done to this country via this. No sympathy. fuck him.

[world wide wally]

144. Too much time fighting windmills?

[Initech]

59. He's a dirty rotten scumbag and awful POS...

But I wouldn't wish death on him. Instead I hope he has a revelation of all the good things liberals have done to advance science and medicine in the last 50 years so he is able to receive treatment.

That's wishful thinking though.

[brokephibroke]

60. It is never too late for him to change

Perhaps as the disease progresses he will be a voice for unity. He has the talent to divide, he has the talent to unite.

[llmart]

65. It doesn't take any talent to divide.

He did nothing but foment hate.

[Tanuki]

88. Lee Atwater repented and apologized. Maybe he felt better,

and it was the right thing to do, but I don't think anything he said ever undid the damage of his earlier actions.

https://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/13/us/gravely-ill-atwater-offers-apology.html

"In a detailed and candid article about his career and his fight against an inoperable brain tumor, Lee Atwater has apologized to Michael S. Dukakis for the "naked cruelty" of a remark he made about the Democratic Presidential nominee in the 1988 campaign.

The apology by Mr. Atwater, who is now in his last month as chairman of the Republican National Committee, is included in an article in the February issue of Life magazine, where he also starkly describes his often-desperate attempts to deal with his illness and his fear on some nights that if he falls asleep, "I will never wake up again."

As manager of Mr. Bush's campaign, Mr. Atwater succeeded in making the case of Willie Horton, a convicted murderer, an issue against Mr. Dukakis.

Mr. Horton, who is black, raped a white woman and stabbed her husband while on a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison. The Bush campaign used the case to portray Mr. Dukakis, then Governor of Massachusetts, as a liberal who was soft on crime.
.... "After the election, when I would run into Ron Brown, I would say hello and then pass him off to one of my aides," he said. "I actually thought that talking to him would make me appear vulnerable.

"Since my illness, Ron has been enormously kind -- he sent a baby present to Sally T.," Mr. Atwater's third child, who was born only weeks after he was stricken. "He writes and calls regularly -- and I have learned a lesson: Politics and human relationships are separate. I may disagree with Ron Brown's message, but I can love him as a man."....(more)

[hatrack]

181. Oh, he did?

EDIT

In the article Atwater apologized to Michael Dukakis for the "naked cruelty" of the 1988 presidential election campaign.[27][28]

Ed Rollins stated in the 2008 documentary Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story:

[Atwater] was telling this story about how a Living Bible was what was giving him faith and I said to Mary [Matalin], "I really, sincerely hope that he found peace". She said, "Ed, when we were cleaning up his things afterwards, the Bible was still wrapped in the cellophane and had never been taken out of the package", which just told you everything there was. He was spinning right to the end.[15]

110. Fuck Rush

I firmly believe that if he ever possessed a soul that he destroyed it years ago.

He cannot, in my opinion, come back.

His body is burning and aching with the venom he produced.

Even if he got on national tv and said “I was wrong. vote for Joe Biden” I’d still wish nothing but suffering on him. To me he is that evil.

[mvd]

62. As someone who lost my dad to cancer..

I will just say I hope he repents before he dies.

[in2herbs]

63. Oh the irony. He announces his cancer DX undoubtedly expecting to receive compassion from his

listeners yet he neither showed or expressed compassion for any American that did not bow down to him. I will muster sympathy for him when he supports medical care for all not just for those who are well-connected.

[LonePirate]

66. Ben Shapiro and Jacob Wohl must be salivating at the prospects of taking over for him.

[TxVietVet]

68. Satan has a special

Spot in Hell for him.

[redstatebluegirl]

71. I lost a good friend to this last year.

I remember saying I wouldn't wish the way he died on my worst enemy, this is testing that promise. But I meant it, I would not wish this even on Rush. I hope he beats it.

[Squinch]

72. I hope he will stop being a force for evil now.... That's all I got.

[LexVegas]

73. womp womp. nt

[Boxerfan]

74. I'll wish him the same he did for the Obama administration....

"I hope he FAILS"


He really deserves no sympathy. It is like wishing Joseph Goebbels a speedy recovery.

no sympathy from me.

The world will be a better place without him.

78. when gravely ill, Lee Atwater began apologizing for ugly political tactics (Willie Horton ad)

In a detailed and candid article about his career and his fight against an inoperable brain tumor, Lee Atwater has apologized to Michael S. Dukakis for the "naked cruelty" of a remark he made about the Democratic Presidential nominee in the 1988 campaign.

The apology by Mr. Atwater, who is now in his last month as chairman of the Republican National Committee, is included in an article in the February issue of Life magazine, where he also starkly describes his often-desperate attempts to deal with his illness and his fear on some nights that if he falls asleep, "I will never wake up again."

As manager of Mr. Bush's campaign, Mr. Atwater succeeded in making the case of Willie Horton, a convicted murderer, an issue against Mr. Dukakis.

Mr. Horton, who is black, raped a white woman and stabbed her husband while on a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison. The Bush campaign used the case to portray Mr. Dukakis, then Governor of Massachusetts, as a liberal who was soft on crime.


"In 1988," Mr. Atwater said, "fighting Dukakis, I said that I 'would strip the bark off the little bastard' and 'make Willie Horton his running mate.' I am sorry for both statements: the first for its naked cruelty, the second because it makes me sound racist, which I am not." Reputation as 'Ugly Campaigner'

Since being stricken last year, the 39-year-old Mr. Atwater has apologized on several occasions for many of the campaign tactics he once employed and for which he was criticized. But rarely has he spoken in such detail or with such candor as in the interview for the first-person Life article.

https://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/13/us/gravely-ill-atwater-offers-apology.html

[Kingofalldems]

82. When Democrats die he often makes fun of them.

Too bad for him.

[brokephibroke]

86. Yes he does.

One of his sick legacies. He will soon learn he is just like the rest of them.

[GusBob]

98. I'll never forget how ugly he was when Kurt Cobain died

Im not even a fan of his music
But Mr Limbaughs comments reminded me of my grandmother saying
Never speak ill of the dead

[bdamomma]

85. hey love thy fellow man

not in this case. it's called KARMA.

[brokephibroke]

89. Like I say

Karma would be seeing his life’s work crumble as he is left penniless. We all die, I’d rather see karma catch him first.

[Croney]

87. How is praying supposed to help anybody?

I guess it's so the person praying can feel self-righteous? As an atheist I don't really care.

I don't wish him to suffer, but I'll be VERY glad when his voice is stilled.

[brokephibroke]

91. I'm not one to pray neither.

[LanternWaste]

102. I'd imagine it's done in the same vein as well-wishes and thoughts of hope.

But I guess a lot of people wishing well or hoping for good are also being no more and no less self-righteous...

[nini]

90. thoughts and prayers

Since that works so well whe Repubs say that.

[scheming daemons]

92. I will give him as much compassion as the right gave RBG when she had cancer

[Bettie]

94. I'd like to say I have sympathy for him

but I can't muster any up right now.

[Jake Stern]

96. Ill extend to him the same compassion he showed others

Rush is such evil, the epitome of sleaze that I cannot wish him anything other than a slow, painful death.

[lsewpershad]

97. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[Brother Buzz]

99. Now he has a valid reason to jump back on the OxyContin train

I learned to dislike the ass back when he was broadcasting out of a single station in Sacramento, California.

[brokephibroke]

101. That is the bright side for rush.

[donkeypoofed]

103. All that hate he spews gave him the cancer

He brought it upon himself with his words and his deeds. Feel sorry for kids though.

[brokephibroke]

105. He has no kids

[VMA131Marine]

112. Nah, it was his cigar smoking.

He did it on his show for Pete’s sake.

[Cornell Engineer]

113. Rush has cancer?

So what's for lunch???

How ironic since Limbaugh IS a cancer. His single good attribute was that he's a Steelers fan but that hardly makes up for all the hatred he spewed and the damage he's done to the national psyche.

Hey, Satan...you got one headed your way soon.

[Cornell Engineer]

121. Limbaugh needs a change in wardrobe

I doubt Rush will be allowed to wear his Big Ben jersey in Hell because I'm pretty sure that the Devil is a Patriots fan.

[GoCubsGo]

114. I don't wish that on anyone.

Not even on a sorry excuse for a human being like Limbaugh.

[brokephibroke]

115. Nor on a cubbie fan

Go White Sox!

maybe he can rub some money on the affected parts, hopefully his tolerance to opiods isn't too profound.

[Crunchy Frog]

124. I'm not saying anything.

[budkin]

131. I would say it was Karma but Cancer never judges

Otherwise, RBG would NEVER have gotten cancer. Also, FUCK CANCER.

134. Good Riddance..

Wasn't he the one blaming American Indians for white people having tobacco related deaths?

[Leith]

137. He dedicated his life to causing pain and anger

so I refuse to feel sorry for him and I don't wish him well.

Let's just say I've been listening to CeeLo Green and Lily Allen songs for the past several minutes.

[defacto7]

138. He's just not high enough on my list of humans who deserve my sympathy

for me to bother with.

[Mr. Ected]

139. For the cancer he has spread to millions of Americans, I wish him moral justice

For the cancer in his lungs, I wish him a full recovery.

Not sure the 2 aren't related in some spiritual and maybe even physical sense.

[Cornell Engineer]

140. Check this out...

https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2018/12/21/left-freakout-alert-justice-ginsburg-undergoes-cancer-surgery/

RUSH: Some news just in. Supreme Court Justice Ruth “Buzzi” Ginsburg has had lung surgery this morning, cancerous nodules removed. That is the extent of my knowledge now. There’s probably more to it, but I haven’t had a chance to click on any links to get details. It was a short commercial break. Well, it was short in terms of trying to gather information. The media is gonna freak over this. (chuckles) I mean, it’s almost punishment.

Hey, Rush...you still chuckling??? Rot in hell, you evil bastard.

[dalton99a]

171. +1

[Dukkha]

141. After a lifetime of cancer coming out of those lungs

It's karmic justice.

[world wide wally]

142. Gee, that's a shame.

[RhodeIslandOne]

143. He's irrelevant

I rarely hear shit about him anymore.

He'll meet his maker.

[EveHammond13]

145. My only wish was that he didn't have health insurance.

[Mariana]

170. He doesn't need health insurance.

He can pay cash for any treatment he receives, and won't even notice it. But he's over 65 so he'd be on Medicare.

[Liberal In Texas]

146. The fat bastard will probably not be around much longer.

151. A modern-day Josef Goebbels

I hope he dies a painful death soon.

[lpbk2713]

152. That should make it easy to pick out a rethuglican in a crowd.

Look for a loser wearing a black arm band.

[blueinredohio]

153. Wonder if he has Obamacare.

[area51]

162. I think he's 69; if so, he has Medicare. n/t

[Caliman73]

154. Lots of differing emotions.

As others have said, wishing harm on another person is a dark process and one that I think is natural when someone is seen to be destructive, but then you are also engaging in that destructiveness.

I don't know Limbaugh personally. I know of his character on the radio and of the effect his career has had on political discussion. I do know people who have had cancer and it is a horrible way to die.

So I am going to say the same as others. I do not wish harm on Limbaugh and I wish his family and friends the best in this process.

I will say honestly, that I will not miss in the slightest, his absence from the world of political discussion.

Someone will step up to claim his spot atop the right wing political heap, most likely Hannity, who is likely now second in the right wing radio world.

155. If its stage four...he's a goner.

If I was diagnosed with stage four, I would think I had a year left and do everything I ever wanted to do. With that said...

157. He changed me.... I used to disagree with him on 99% of everything, only on one issue did i agree --

His arguments about that issue made me realize that I was wrong ..........

I now disagree with him 100%.

[Paladin]

158. Glad to hear it. (nt)

[Snackshack]

159. Thoughts and Prayers.

I have never been a listener of Limbaugh. He owns a great deal of responsibility for the divisiveness in our political discourse.

Having said that I do wish him the best in the new reality he lives in now. Cancer (period) is a vicious and horrible disease. Most organisms on this planet take only what they need of their host in order to flourish and survive. Cancer doesn’t, it destroys everything...even what it needs to survive, it is a malicious branch in the tree of evolution. I would not wish it upon anyone.

[Wounded Bear]

160. I was taught if you can't say something nice, don't say anything...

[dalton99a]

161. I have no objection

About damn time.

[myohmy2]

163. ain't that a shame...

...

[I_UndergroundPanther]

165. Welp,Limbaugh..

I happen to be out of fucks for you.
Die like republicans want others that are not wealthy or thier kind to die, Just shut up die and die quickly.

[mgcgulfcoast]

169. I wish him well

Good luck and prayers.

[PlanetBev]

172. I've dreamed of this day

He’s two months younger than myself. I actually might get to see this prick die ahead of me. I’ll be 70 in November. May he never live to see the same number.

He’s a one man slander machine and a vile excuse for a human being. He has damaged this country beyond imagination.

[sammythecat]

173. Through both my parents and my grandmother

I am more than well aware of the terribleness of this disease. That being said, I don't give a fuck about Rush Limbaugh and his struggle with cancer. Well, I do give a fuck in that I hope his final days, and may they be long and plentiful, are spent sweating and groaning because the narcotics are no longer effective.

No hope of heaven, no fear of hell, and no pity in my heart for a piece of shit like Limbaugh.

[bluecollar2]

174. Life's a bitch...

No cares from me.

[eShirl]

175. I had wondered why he sounded so different in recent months/years.

[cbdo2007]

178. Pretty sure Limbaugh is faking this. He is just trying to get publicity.

That's what he accused Michael J Fox of when he came out saying he had parkinsons. Limbaugh said he was faking and publicly ridiculed him and his movements saying he was just trying to get publicity.

So yeah, couldn't have happened to a worse person.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

180. That stinks? Was he a smoker?

I haven't known anyone to have lung cancer that wasn't a smoker. My father-in-law died of lung cancer about 2 years ago. He was in his early 60's and smoked his whole life.

[brokephibroke]

183. He was for a long time

Switched to cigars awhile ago.

[VOX]

182. This man made a career of fomenting hatred. He turned Americans against fellow Americans.

He is without honor of any sort. He inspired others to act with equal dishonor. For decades, he served a daily portion of hatred and disinformation packed in outrage (real or theatrical, doesn’t matter). There is no single positive word to speak about his character, his life’s work, or his legacy.

I wish pain and death upon no one. I sincerely believe in humanity’s interconnectedness and in having compassion for all living things. But as I search my heart, I find that I will not miss this man’s existence, whenever it comes to that.

[smb]

184. I Didn't Know A Cancer Could Get Cancer nt

[totodeinhere]

186. I do not wish bad health on people I disagree with.

So I wish him the best even though a lot of his supporters would undoutably cheer if a liberal Democrat like me had lung cancer. But that's the difference between us and them. We take the high road. We are not haters.
