Dying from cancer doesn't stop someone from being a POS.

[edhopper]

Sorry, I can't find it in me to have any sympathy for him.

[guillaumeb]

1. He is quite toxic.

And it is difficult to feel sympathy for his persona.

[edhopper]

2. I am not celebrating this

but neither can I feel sorry for him.

[guillaumeb]

3. I understood as much.

I must say that I cannot find one positive thing to say about him, other than he does not have a twin brother.

[Drahthaardogs]

32. Fuck it. I am. He's a horrible excuse for a human

Who has brought pain and suffering on millions. He mocks the sick and weak, spreads disinformation on climate change, promotes racist behavior, objectifies women, and perpatrates destruction for his own financial gain.

I'm not going to sit here and take some imaginary high road. He's a fucking monster and the world will be a better place without him. Why should I insult humanity by pretending otherwise? It's fitting that his end will be from cancer, because he IS a malignancy on the country. This is justice.

If there is a heaven, I hope he repents and gets there, but I assume he will die liked he lived. An arrogant fuck to the end. The Catholics would say that is pretty much going to seal his fate in any afterlife.

No. Fuck "not wishing him harm". I'm glad he's on his way out. It couldn't have come soon enough and honestly, I hope Rupert Murdoch is on deck.

Call me an asshole, but at least I'm intellectually honest.

[Phoenix61]

40. Well said. He spread hate across this country

for the sole reason of making a dollar. Not the least bit sorry. He’s made millions so he will get the best medical care possible. Something he has been more than happy to campaign against other people having.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

70. His greed and promotion of same has interfered with medical advances.

Might have avoided his fate if he'd promoted the common good instead of misery for most.

[Schmice3]

41. thank you n/t

[lunatica]

44. I feel nothing.

No pity, no satisfaction. Nothing. It’s his karmic due.

[Initech]

57. Same.

I wont celebrate nor will I ever feel sorry for him.

[Lars39]

4. I mourn the death of a human,

and the wasted life, the wasted potential.

[dware]

5. +100. nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. Generally, yes.

but in this case, that life potential was corrupted to evil and wasted long before the actual death.

[Lars39]

12. True

I’ll play....and regret that he didn’t turn his life around.
Cliche-ing to keep from being bitter about all the truly good people who have died too young.

[edhopper]

9. His life was wasted a long time ago

And he poisoned the country.
Morn those his Party has harmed.

[Lars39]

15. Oh, I do, deeply.

People like Rush only get the abstract version.

[Raine]

23. On point

I've heard some say that personally he was a nice person but who can't be nice to friends , family and acquaintances. It's what you show to the world that shows who you really are, people you don't know and will never meet. Sad he wasted such potential, stating your opinion is one thing but demeaning , insulting and hurtful to others is a whole other thing.

[Scotch-Irish]

65. In the early 2000's there were several reports of him going to the Dominican Republic

to have sex with very young (underage) little boys. He was evidently arrested at an airport for something (I think it was copiious amounts of oxycontin) when it was later discovered why he was there in the first place.

Typical republicans: pedophiles.

I have no doubt he knew Epstein.

[certainot]

52. it wasn't wasted, he did what Putin would love to do to the US

no one did more to get trump in the WH,
delay action on global warming,
sell the attack on iraq
kill the iran deal,
excuse racism,
push citizens united,
reverse and stop environmental legislation,
increase species extinction,
stop alternative energy initiatives,
stop single payer,
deregulate media,
sell electronic voting machines,
stop the fla recount,
sell immigrant hate and the lies about thousands of them voting illegally for democrats to sell voter suppression,
demonize and lie about liberal candidates and ideals,
swiftboat gore, kerry, clinton, and hundreds of good politicians, public servants, and citizens
defund and privatize public education,
destroy unions,
get US soldiers killed and maimed in iraq and afghanistan
sell 'deep state' and benghazi and biden ukraine 'corruption' bullshit,
attack anita hill and christine blasey "ballsey" ford to get scumbags on the supremes,
get fascist ignorant nutballs into congress and senate,
keep assault weapons handy,
excuse the killers of trayvon martin and mike brown,
get kneeling athletes labeled unamerican,
pump up the white supremacists,
enable separation of immigrant families,
sell the wall,
religious 'equality'
sell privatization of the US mail
etc

and that's the short version

his genius is/was lying and rationalizing with royal i'm never wrong certitude that he could maintain because his call screeners hardly ever let anyone sneak in to challenge that certitude, while arranging paid callers from US and probably foreign think tanks and because he was basically invisible to those he attacked and lied about and they ignored him

and he's on 600 stations and all the talkers on those and about 1000 other stations had to follow his lead or get fired because his listeners could never get through to kiss his ring so they called the local shows to police them

this guy is ignorant and a liar and hater who used the biggest bully pulpit in the country to undermine democracy, move national wealth to billionaires, pollute the national discourse, and get people sick and killed

if republicans paid $1000/hr for political radio ads 15hrs/day, 1200 stations following limbaugh's lead would be worth about $5BIL/year FREE paid for by idiot and asshole advertisers

30 years of that was worth trillions in global warming, war, deregulation, voter suppression, crappy judges, and so on

[Lars39]

63. The epitome of a wasted life!

Thanks for list, certainot He is truly despicable.

[Crunchy Frog]

61. I'm mourning the deaths of endangered marsupials in Australia waaaay more than this "human".

[Lars39]

62. I am, too, Crunchy Frog.

I guess I’m at a weird place in my life, just not too feisty these days.
Of course Koalas and all those other species get my tears, while his legacy will be anything from apathy to a well deserved red hot hate.

[Pacifist Patriot]

67. Then mourning for RL would be a concluded ...

exercise years ago.

I won't celebrate a terminal diagnosis or death, that is obscene. But I won't waste breath mourning a socially toxic person either. I have better things to do with my time.

[Lars39]

69. I'm not mourning him,

just his wasted life. The abstract, the bigger picture is what I was thing of.

[Pacifist Patriot]

71. Gotcha, that makes sense.

[UTUSN]

6. Totally K&R

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. I have the same amount of sympathy that

drug-addled gasbag had for RBG, Michael Fox, and everyone else he's tortured and mocked.

He was a lying, greedy, self-serving, monstrous piece of shit before finding out he's ill. Finding that out didn't change anything. He'll keep up his work destroying democracy and good until the day he dies.

[Zolorp]

10. I don't wish the slow painful death of cancer on even the most evil f people

Even the evil of Limbaugh.

[edhopper]

13. I don't celebrate this

just feel no sorrow or sympathy.

[Zolorp]

16. Oh I can relate to that.

I can also recognize the ironic karmic justice on somebody who smoked cigars and cigarettes constantly while supporting the interests of big tobacco for decades dying in this manner.

I don't wish it on him, but this is also what life gave him in the end.

[rpannier]

43. I don't wish it either

Because I want him off the radio... the sooner the better

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. Neithet can I. He made his bed....

Calling Liberal women....FemaNazis

Michelle Obama.....MOOchelle

He is as vile as Michael Savage is.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. True believer in Karma.

And Man o Man,has she come through.

[dalton99a]

18. Problem is he won't suffer much, if at all.

$600 million is a lot of excellent care and state-of-the-art meds

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Sat at the bed side of

four of my In Laws in their last days suffering with Lung Cancer. All the money in the world will not make the Pain go away. What is the worst is when it moves from the lungs to other organs or shows up as a Brain Tumor. He will know doubt be able to extent his life a bit longer with his wealth,but if it is true has well advanced Cancer,that wealth may not buy him much more time.

[BigmanPigman]

33. With all the Oxy he has consumed, will he be able to feel pain

or will it be the opposite and painkillers won't have an impact due to a built up tolerance of pain killers? I hope Karma hits him in spades. Evil POS! As far as I am concerned he can suffer throughout several lifetimes, he is so full of hate.

[TNLib]

17. I loath Limpballs

That being said having battled late stage ovarian cancer myself, doesn’t mean he’s going to die from cancer anytime soon. I know the statics are bad for lung cancer but new treatments are on the horizon.

[dflprincess]

19. "I've never wished a man dead but I've read some obituaries with great pleasure."

Sometimes attributed to Mark Twain, other times to Clarence Darrow.

No one seems to know for sure where the quote originated - but it is appropriate now.

[Bradical79]

20. I hope he doesn't suffer long

The quicker he checks out, the better. I'll feel a small bit of relief he's gone, and move on.

[MyMission]

21. I hope and pray he goes quickly

And goes off air while pursuing treatment

And maybe has an epiphany and realizes and admits he's been a horrible hate mongering person, and tries to correct this before he goes and convince others to open their hearts and change their behavior and reject 45.

May he rest in peace (Doubtful because he's such a POS) or rot in hell (more likely) quickly.
I have no sympathy for him either.

Sometimes I pray for God to call a particular person home (and give them a good talking to) instead of wishing them dead! (I started this habit almost 30 years ago, when I prayed for Ronald Regan to be called home. Sadly, his mind went long before his body.)

[mzmolly]

24. It's difficult to feel sympathy, because this man advocates against health care

for all.

I don't wish his illness on anyone - but I do hope he'll now reconsider his vile world view.

[Hulk]

25. Hope there is a hell....for his sake.

The world will be a better place without that vile pig above ground.

Sorry...but that is how I feel. He has done his damage to our nation.

[czarjak]

26. He'll double down on his hate on the way out...

Damned sure not going to admit he was ever wrong.

[Hulk]

27. Watch.

.the idiot in the White House will fly the flag at half mast

Disgraceful jackass...both of them.

[Shaddox]

28. Fuck Rush. There is nothing after this.

[Toorich]

29. I went back and read the Nixon obit...

..... that Hunter S. Thompson wrote. Much in it could be said of Rush and tRump.

[Mr.Bill]

51. I just read it again myself.

Trump is lucky Thompson is not alive today.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1994/07/he-was-a-crook/308699/

Everyone should take time to read this.

[MerryBlooms]

72. Outstanding. TY

[sammythecat]

30. Ain't gonna lie just to

sound like a decent human being. I hope he suffers greatly. For a long time, and I hope he dies screaming.

[BigmanPigman]

34. Ditto!

[csziggy]

31. I see this as the definition of irony - A blowhard gets his breath taken away from him.

How perfect is that?

[wysi]

35. Me neither

He's been a leading figure in the destruction of our democracy. I want him to suffer, very badly and for a long time.

[LaurenOlimina]

36. that's "cancerous" piece of shit now...

[calimary]

54. Welcome to DU, LaurenOlimina!

I'm trying to stay charitable and above it all, and all that. The whole "don't dance on his grave til he has one" thing.

No one wishes cancer on anyone. But - um - there's also - um - this - um - thing called karma...

[MLAA]

37. I find it difficult (okay, impossible) to morn hypocrites that are hateful to others

[backscatter712]

38. Think of it as the feel-good story of the day...

[rhiannon55]

39. I'm just glad to know his vile rhetoric may end soon

He has done more than enough damage to the world.

[47of74]

42. I have zero sympathy for him

All the harm he’s done to this planet over the years I cannot sat he didn’t deserve this and I’ve lost multiple family members to cancer too.

[Bettie]

45. I'm not celebrating, but

I have zero sympathy.

[Demobrat]

46. I think we should extend to him

the exact same amount of sympathy and compassion he offered to the little boys he paid to have sex with.

[Tiggeroshii]

47. It makes them a cancerous piece of shit

Yes. I know I'm going to hell.

[Harker]

48. My chosen path is one of trying to alleviate suffering.

His contempuousness and self-aggrandizing was born of insecurity, I suspect.

Somehow, smoking cigars and denigrating others made him feel like a big shot. I hope finds regret in that.

He'll gasp and die, alone, as will we all.

[Dukkha]

49. He's a crisis actor

After alleging false flag attacks numerous times on his show, I call BS on his claim.

I will show all the sympathy to his cancer as he did to Michael J Fox's Parkinson's disease.

[Cousin Dupree]

50. The big blowhard is not going to be able to blow hard

[RockRaven]

53. Terrible human beings are terrible, whether or not they have cancer.

And one can welcome any disruption or cessation of his noxious effect on the world without reveling in the cause of that disruption/cessation.

[Upthevibe]

55. He is a horrific nightmare whose damage

to this country is immeasurable. The vitriol he has spewed on a.m. radio since the early 90's professing that Liberals are basically worse than terrorists and that the Clintons are the devil is a part of the equation regarding where we are as a country that can not be overstated. Not one ounce of me has any feelings of sorrow -even from one human being to another- because I don't consider him a human being. I consider him a vessel whose sole purpose in life has been to emit hatred and cause as much destruction as possible. And I actually (not metaphorically but literally) do believe in Karma and he will pay (and I don't mean by getting a horrible disease and physically suffering). When I say pay, what I mean (and believe) is that he will feel the pain (to the 10th power) of the pain his victims have felt.

[orleans]

56. fuck him

he was an asshole way back when
he's an asshole now
fuck him

(i realize "asshole" doesn't begin to describe what an absolute dose of poison he has been for this country but i'm trying to be succinct )

[ooky]

58. He lived his life as a mouthpiece for vile lies that

caused misery among the less fortunate. And he promoted hate. He got rich in the process of doing it. Yeah, that is who he was.

[DFW]

59. I know I'm supposed to rise above this, but....

I made this over ten years ago, and feel no differently today:

[dalton99a]

60. +1

[pressbox69]

64. I wonder if

his old buddy Elton John will sing at his funeral like he did at his last wedding. Funeral For A Friend or Goodbye Yellow Brick Load would work.

[live love laugh]

66. The equivalent of cancer having cancer. nt

[musicblind]

68. I have sympathy for anyone going through the pain of cancer.

However, that doesn't mean he isn't a monster.

You can have sympathy for someone receiving the death penalty.

Feeling bad for pain a person is experiencing in the immediate moment is very different from thinking that person is a good person. It may be awful to say, but the world will be a better place without Limbaugh in it. I still wouldn't wish cancer on him.

[In It to Win It]

73. I'm on the fence

I don’t wanna be a dick, but on the other hand, I’m shrugging in indifference like “well... bye”
