I am sad about Limbaugh's death

[jmowreader]

...sad in that Bartcop didn’t live to see it.

Bartcop was a liberal blogger who lived in Oklahoma. He started his blogging career by ripping apart Limbaugh on a site named “Rush Limbaugh Lying Nazi Whore.” Then he branched out into dealing with other Republicans on “Bartcop.com”. BC died of cancer during the Obama years and never enjoyed the thrill of ripping Trump apart.

I believe that if Limbaugh would have died before BC, Terry would have grave-danced so hard Tulsa would be five feet lower than it is now.

The only consolation is that Limbaugh lived long enough to see America throw Trump out on his ear.

1. "The only consolation" is so right on

because you KNOW if Rump had not been removed, he would have had El Rushbo lying in state in the Rotunda.

[davekriss]

14. I thought of that

I’m glad he lived beyond Inauguration Day. It’s good that the halls of Congress won’t be sullied by such junk.

24. The only place he should lie in state

The only place he should lie in state is floating in the number 2 holding pond at the municipal sewage treatment plant, floating there like the fatty turd he was

2. Goodbye Rush

Hell has a new resident.

13. My belief about heaven and hell...

...is that they are constructs in the mind of those we leave behind.

If after we die we are thought of well by the people who knew us, we are in heaven; conversely, if we are thought of poorly by our survivors we are in hell.

Limbaugh left enough of a trail of destruction behind him that there’s no way he’s in heaven.

3. I found out about DU from Bartcop.

I use to live on his website, esp. after the trauma of the 2000 election.

[Baltimike]

5. me too. nt

[GoCubsGo]

9. Same here.

He and his site help me get through Clinton's impeachment, the 2000 election, and a whole lot of the Bush Error. Lordy, I miss him.

[Bettie]

31. Me too

he was great.

[Bucky]

21. Yep, me too

[Hstch05]

42. Damn, I miss Bart

He was the best! I was with him from the 96 election onwards.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

43. Looks like several of us found our way here through Bartcop.

I have a Bartcop hat around here somewhere.

One's a flaming Nazi gasbag the other's just a dirigible"

[madaboutharry]

6. I am also sorry that Bartcop did not live to see this day.

There is a little less hate in the world today.

7. Pitchforking the dead is unseemly, no matter how vile the deceased.

[Act_of_Reparation]

10. Spare us your moralizing.

[sop]

12. I can make exceptions.

[Bucky]

19. Don't be a McCarthy

You don't get the police what other people think is right or wrong.

[Act_of_Reparation]

44. I do, actually.

External reality is a real pain in the ass, innit?

[Bucky]

18. I think most people feel that way

Being happy someone is dead is pretty classless. But then, it's that's something that Rush Limbaugh inspired in people

[wnylib]

27. You could call it a tribute to him.

[dchill]

22. For every rule, there's a proving exception.

[hlthe2b]

8. Sad about missing Bartcop, for sure.

[boguspotus]

11. Totally Agree! Terry would have been stoked.

I loved Bartcop - would not have discovered DU without him.

[Neema]

16. I'm sad about his death. A, because it took too long and B because that

means he existed in the first place.

[wnylib]

28. Imagine what the nation and

world would be like if he had died much sooner, as his mother's miscarriage.

[Bucky]

17. I'm grateful Rush lived to see Biden elected and Trump run out on a rail

I mean, never happy with someone dies. But Limbaugh deserve to see his life's work undone, if only a little bit, and exposed as a violent anti-American movement

[maxsolomon]

20. Loved me some Bartcop.

RIP to a righteous mind.

23. Illegitimate presidents issue illegitimate medals.

[MoonRiver]

25. I remember Bartcop! He was awesome!

I didn't know he had died. So, I'll grieve Bartcop's death instead of the fascist asshole.

[Hulk]

26. fox-propaganda swamp is in mourning....24/7

Laughable. I can't turn the volume up, but it's wall to wall "what a great person he was....a real entertainer." Quite the delusional reality over there.

Good riddance!

[bluboid]

29. oh, how I miss Bartcop...

I wish this on all life, anyone & everyone: may the sad soul of Rush L find some peace... but OMG, I miss Bartcop.

[rickyhall]

30. BartCop turned me on to Democratic Underground, Crooks & Liars, Daily Kos, Common Dreams & AlterNet

when W was Worst President Ever.

[jmowreader]

45. I have one of Bart's Worst President Ever magnets on my filing cabinet

Ahh...for the days when that title went to an out-of-his-league man and not a malicious terrorist.

[LymphocyteLover]

32. I remember bartcop...

"I believe that if Limbaugh would have died before BC, Terry would have grave-danced so hard Tulsa would be five feet lower than it is now. "-- LMAO!

[kairos12]

33. Flush Rush the stinking Turd.

[abakan]

34. I'm sad he didn't die sooner...NT

[RedSpartan]

35. I LOVED Bartcop and miss him still.

He would have been essential reading during the Trump years. We lost him far too soon.

[marieo1]

36. Good Riddance

Rush Limbaugh always was a scumbag!!! The only ones that could stand him was other scumbags!!

[dubyadiprecession]

37. It was a cold, unhappy winter for Rush...

Hopefully, it at least, got warmer for him.

[The Jungle 1]

38. He did great harm to this nation.

He divided us and he knew what he was doing as he did it.

[SergeStorms]

39. I miss old Bart....

we'd talk on the phone every once in awhile, but our main form of communication was online. This was pre-Facebook, twitter, everything like that. I'm sure he's eating this year's strain of sweet corn, and knocking back some tequila wherever he is. Cheers, buddy.

[catbyte]

40. When both BartCop and Smirking Chimp recommended DU, I knew I had to check it out,

and this has been my home since 2002. I will be forever grateful to both sites and I still donate to Smirking Chimp.

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. Too bad. But he did so much to open up the internet to liberal news and voices

I enjoyed Bartcop for a while, and suddenly the name Democratic Underground came up in links. And it was just what I needed during the Iraq War, a place to vent and commiserate with like minded people.

side note: This reminds me about how Raw Story was also so very important then, and Bartcop would link to many of their stories. Which is why I seethe when I see Raw Story bashers in here. Such an important venue in those early days of the net. I'll give Raw Story a huge pass, because they've earned it.

[SayitAintSo]

46. Thank you for posting this

I loved Bartcop! His site led me to DU. A number of years back a friend and I attended a Bartcop meeting in Washington at James Carville's restaurant. Folks came from all over the US to attend... God bless him. It was a wonderful time with Kindred Spirits. And yes he would have reveled and thrived in these times to help carry us through with his unrivaled wit. Here's to Bartcop and everything he did for the cause!

[Raster]

47. Ditto! Bartcop was an ORIGINAL!
