Lewis Black GIVES THE PADDLIN' to Rush Limbaugh re Robin Williams/liberalism/suicide

FUCK YOU Rush Limbaugh. Your statements were beyond cruel and stupid. They were intolerable. Enough is enough from you. You are an idiot. Don't you ever demean the death of another human being. He was my friend. You disgust me.

since the inception of FOX, they have turned whatever it may be - ugly. They have incited the halfwits in this country to follow along and let their ugliness contaminate our society. There is no bottoming out for that crowd - it is all about going as low as they can imagine.
They are not about political discourse, they are about sickness that has taken their souls. We all should respond like Lewis Black.

there are too many haters out there who still listen to him and always will.

Unfortunately, they are people who couldn't appreciate the the incredible genius of Robin Williams. Their loss. One could almost feel sorry for the dittoheads who spend most of their lives hating virtually everything and everyone who isn't one of them. On second thought, fuck 'em all. They willingly gave their minds over to hatred and in doing so, they've earned a life in the miniscule universe in which they dwell.

I got an idea...Why don't you get all your comedian friends to fucking verbally annihilate that piece of human waste, in public for the world to see! Robin Williams was the personification of comedy! Every time I think about his passing I get to the brink of tears. If you and all your comedy buddies made a DVD just ripping that piece of human waste for all he does, it would break sales records. And you could donate that money to a charity of Robin Williams choice. Just a thought.

Wed Aug 13, 2014, 09:43 PM
Aug 2014

I was thinking of times Robin Williams made me laugh, and the first thing that came to mind was a story told by Billy Crystal on NPR. Billy was at home watching Reagan's funeral when the phone rang. It was Robin Williams doing Reagan's voice from the afterlife, "Hello... Well, heaven's a little warmer than I thought it would be", or something to that effect. I almost drove off the road laughing, hearing Billy Crystal doing Robin Williams doing Reagan.

I know this is way off topic, and to the original point, yes, fuck rush limbaugh. I just had to share this somewhere on DU.

What was funny was hearing Rush go from 100% anti government during Clinton to 100% pro-government under Bush to 100% anti government under Obama.

They got their dream of Republican control of the House and Senate and the White House where Bush rubber stamped everything.

We saw what happens when they get what they want. In the middle of a war they were building bridges to nowhere and anyone who had a problem with it was accused of being unpatriotic.

Go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/12/rush-limbaugh-robin-williams_n_5673626.html

Limbaugh claimed on Wednesday that he never said Williams killed himself because of his political views, and that his comments were "misquoted, purposely taken out of context" by the liberal media.

Yeah, how dare the "liberal media" quote him directly.

These idiots will hang around a radio all day, listening to Limbaugh, along with Beck, Hannity, Savage and others. They often have Faux Snooze on the TV when they're home. Then, at the end of the day, they get together with their other wingnut friends in their echo chamber and bitch about the "liberal media."

They have no sense of irony.

Who (insert SPONSOR NAME HERE) is paying, or would want their name involved with this D-bag? I don't get it. FLUSH Rush, NOW.

Limpbaugh is a total piece of shit. People have known this for years. The man isn't even buried, and this asshole just had to make ignorant comments about him and turn it into politics. Then he indicates he was misquoted by the media? Yeah right!!! I recently tried to post a comment at our local radio station that carries this POS. I kept it clean and simple. No cussing, no finger pointing, etc. The site repeatedly rejected my post. I think they have a filter on the site that if the words "RUSH" appear, it rejects all comments. So much for free speech.

The death of any man diminishes me, but this one more than most. Laughter is the most healing thing I know, and the gift of laughter one of the greatest gifts. It's painful enough to lose that gift without listening to black mold like Rush Limbaugh. That RW should go, and RL be left is tragedy enough.
