Edited on Wed Dec-30-09 11:22 PM by MadBadger
Id agree with you about DUers celebrating when Tony Snow died.

But not Rush. That piece of shit deserves everything that happens to him. He is a vile, racist, pathetic excuse for a human being.

Now I'm not going to "celebrate", but I'm not going to pray for his recovery.

30. After watching my father with heart disease and my husband have a heart attack, I don't wish it -
- on anyone. I hope that Rush makes a full recovery.

We should want to beat Rush on our own merits and not via illness or disease. Snarky remarks and wishing him ill will makes me wonder if I'm at DU or at Freeperville. Don't look now but we run the risk of turning into THEM if we act like them!

55. Exactly,
What you put out in words always come back to bite you in the end. I, for one feel absolutely no sympathy for this man. If it were Obama that had a heart attack, he would be asking people to dance in the streets, he would be celebrating the moment, so please do not ask me to be kind in my remarks about this man. Remember who this man is and how much damage he has brought to this country. The worst part of it is, the only reason he is doing what he does is for money, he's an entertainer. So I hope all those millions buys him a nice place in hell.

52. this is SICK
I rarely speak up but I have to now. I cannot comprehend the callousness that I see here. We are all human beings that may have different idealogies but for God's sake! To REAL THINKING humans we are not EVIL to the republicans nor are the repulicans to us, unless maybe you are 23 yrs old.
I am sickened. Go ahead and flame me. Anyone who does is a jackass and makes them look stupid. I have many ongoing health issues and I cannot imagine how frightening it would be to be in the hospital with serious chest pains. Anyone that says otherwise is a sick fuck. Hell, boot me outta here if you see fit but I gotta call it like I see it. If you don't get it...then well, it doesn't bode well for the party that ISN'T hysterically EXTREME because you are going to kill it for all of us.

I can only hope that he changes his ways (and extremist views), but I hope he recovers. I'm sure he has family, and this must be scary for them as well.

over at Free Republic, or one of the many other conservative boards when Ted Kennedy was dying.

Good taste or bad taste is not limited to one political persuasion., but when someone as high profile and hatefully divisive as Rush gets hit with something bad it's hard to feel sorry for him.

and have a true meaning of life epiphany, and come through this a changed man. It won't happen though.

Other than that I hope people look at his extremely unhealthy lifestyle -- food, drink, sexual whatever, drugs, smoking, obesity, and non-stop, extreme anger -- and learn a thing or two.

If you believe in god(s) you can take comfort in the grand reckoning. Otherwise the idea of him returning as a garden slug, or melting into the cosmic soup works.
