I hope Limbaugh acknowledges how he ridiculed Eric Garner ("I can't breathe"), J. Fox and RBG

@sanosbo1
I remember when Rush Limbaugh,laughed & joked about Eric Garner not being able to breathe. Rush ridiculed & mocked Michael J. Fox, for having Parkinson’s and laughed about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s cancer. Maybe now Rush will feel and show empathy for others! At least I hope so!

right after he finally apologizes to other drug addicts, who he said deserved to be jailed.

Lee Atwater, noted GOP campaign manager and ratfucker (of Willie Horton fame), is an example. After he got cancer and was on his way out, he found religion and wrote apologies to a bunch of people he'd harmed politically, notably Michael Dukakis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater Limbaugh is a pretty devout asshole, though, so I don't expect much from him.

he could sell PPV TV of the event... I know I'd pay a couple of bucks to watch.

Evil of me... yeah... But their ARE exceptions.

Besides he wouldn't be sincere about it! I said it before and I'll continue to say...I hope he suffers as much physical pain as the emotional pain he's inflicted on others...

Rush has no empathy for others, and this won't change him...

He has caused harm and pain as long as I can remember hearing his name. A deathbed epiphany isn’t worth much to me.

I truly hope it is able to overcome this disease. Rush Limbaugh is a horrible affliction that I wouldn't wish on ANY cancer.
