Miguel Sanchez Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Week 8 update One death this week, noted horrible c**t Rush Limbaugh: Obituary: Rush Limbaugh, provocative US radio host - BBC News Quote Rush Limbaugh, the controversial US radio personality and political commentator, has died aged 70. His wife Kathryn Adams announced his death on his radio show on Wednesday. He had been suffering from lung cancer. Best known as the host of the long-running talk radio programme The Rush Limbaugh Show, he was a towering figure in the conservative movement for years. Three presidents appeared on his show, and he received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2020. But he was as controversial as he was influential, accused of voicing racist, sexist and homophobic views throughout his career. The climate change denier peddled numerous conspiracy theories on the air, staunchly opposed immigration, and was a hard-line advocate for US exceptionalism. I'm not sure I'm in the frame of mind to have a read about people who think this guy had any positive influence on the world, but a search for an obituary seems to have thrown some up. Let’s be honest about who Rush Limbaugh really was | The Independent Quote On January 16, 2013, a little more than a month after the deadly Sandy Hook murders of 20 six- and seven-year-old children and six adults, Limbaugh said, “You know how to stop abortion? Require that each one occur with a gun.” At a time when the nation was still reeling from one of the most horrific school shootings to date, Limbaugh advocated for the government-sanctioned murder of pregnant people seeking abortion services. For context, that’s hoping one in four women — the majority of whom have at least one child at home — are executed for choosing not to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. ======= Limbaugh frequently attacked the LGBTQ+ community, at one point saying, “When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.” In 2020, he turned his sights on then-presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, claiming then-president Donald Trump could “have fun” debating “a gay guy kissing his husband on stage.” He referred to a trans caller during his show as a slur and asked how trans people have sex without revealing their “real gender.” He gave “AIDS updates” on his show with the Dionne Warwick song “I’ll Never Love This Way Again” as accompaniment. ======= But perhaps nothing embodies Limbaugh’s legacy more than his shameless racism. From his near-constant attacks on former president Barack Obama (during the 2008 election, he called Obama “a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he’s Black” and hosted an entire segment speculating on Obama’s US citizenship) to his attacks on his own listeners (he once told a Black woman caller to “take that bone out of your nose and call me back”), it was Limbaugh’s open embrace of full-blown white supremacy that worked to shape the right-wing media as it is known today. I'm not clicking the following Daily Mail efforts because, well, obviously: Quote Rush Limbaugh dies: Bette Midler among celebrities ... www.dailymail.co.uk › news › article-9272575 › Liber... 3 days ago — Limbaugh, 70, died at home in Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday morning following a 12-month battle with lung cancer.
