Liberals on Twitter celebrated the death of Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday, with their messages of disdain for the 70-year-old media legend causing “Rest in Piss,” “Good Riddance,” and “Rot in Hell” to trend on the site.
“The idea that you say artificially nice things about people after they die is weird. I’ve never understood the logic of it. Rush Limbaugh was a terrible person while he was alive. He made a living by attacking the powerless. His death does not in anyway change or redeem that,” the Young Turks host Cenk Uygur wrote.
“God has canceled Rush Limbaugh,” Crooked Media host Erin Ryan said in a tweet.
“Rush Limbaugh was one of the most harmful and poisonous people in the modern United States of America,” said political analyst Jared Yates Sexton. “His pursuit of wealth and power hurt untold numbers of people and wrought incalculable damage to politics as a public good, society as a whole, and the planet itself.”

Rush Limbaugh helped create today’s polarized America by normalizing racism, bigotry, misogyny and mockery. He was a demagogue who got rich off of hate speech, division, lies and toxicity. That is his legacy.

Once I learned my aunt listened to Rush Limbaugh, I knew never to speak to that aunt again. Thanks, Rush!

Rush Limbaugh was a terrible human being in life, and I refuse to abide by the convention that his death absolves him from criticism for his legacy of bigotry.

“It’s easy to make fun of Rush Limbaugh right now, but it’s important to remember that he also brought a lot of people a lot of joy by dying,” TV writer Mike Drucker reacted.
“If I had to say something positive I guess I’m glad Rush Limbaugh lived long enough to get cancer and die,” comedian Paul F. Tompkins said.
Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets took shots at Limbaugh in their respective obituaries.
The Washington Post and the New York Times wrote headlines dubbing Limbaugh a “provocateur.”
“Rush Limbaugh, who deployed comic bombast and relentless bashing of liberals, feminists and environmentalists to become the nation’s most popular radio talk-show host and lead the Republican Party into a politics of anger and obstruction, died Feb. 17 at 70,” the Post wrote.
“Rush Limbaugh, the relentlessly provocative voice of conservative America who dominated talk radio for more than three decades with shooting-gallery attacks on liberals, Democrats, feminists, environmentalists and other moving targets, died on Wednesday,” the Times obituary reads.
CBS News shared its obituary in a tweet asking if Limbaugh was a “conservative oracle or opportunist?”

The Huffington Post and Rolling Stone had searing headlines, with the former calling him the “bigoted king of talk radio” and the latter claiming “Rush Limbaugh Did His Best to Ruin America.”
Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, announced the 70-year-old legend had died Wednesday after being diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer last year.
“For over 32 years, Rush has cherished you, his loyal audience, and always looked forward to every single show,” Kathryn Limbaugh said. “It is with profound sadness I must share with you directly that our beloved Rush, my wonderful husband, passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer.”
He received the diagnosis in January 2020. Then-President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom days later at the State of the Union address.
“This is not good news,” Trump said then of Limbaugh’s diagnosis. “But what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country.”

John 15:18-27 R.I.P. Rush Limbaugh
Rush rest peacefully in the hand of God.
The human race is on the same course of death and destruction just like it has always been. No one is going to escape. We just gotta hate and kill until there is nothing left. The human heart is wicked beyond anything imaginable!!
Jeremiah 17:9
These liberals are the scum of the earth. or as clinton said “deplorables”!!!!!
Proverbs 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed, but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
Having been warned that the “Liberals had celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s death”, I hesitated to expose myself to their diabolical negative energy by opening this email. However, having reluctantly availed myself of their mean-spiritedness, I am convinced that the Godless Marxist Democrats are Satan’s henchmen!! They despise Rush Limbaugh because Rush had blown their “cover”….their dark shroud of deceit and corruption. Rush Limbaugh was a beacon of TRUTH!! Satan and his henchmen despise the TRUTH!!
That is why I have called them Demoncrats for years.
Oh wait!
They are all charter members of the Left-Headed Lunatic League too.
See how all that fits together so well?
Yes we are and proud of it.
Yes, they are despicable people. If they couldn’t say anything nice, they could have remained silent. One more example of where the divisiveness and disunity really comes from.
You are 100% correct! They are reacting to truths. Their demonic minds are programmed to lash out.
Liberal scum, these slugs will get their “reward” if not sooner then later!
Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Little do you libsh!ts realize that when you die you are going to hottest lowest hell! No lefty commie trash allowed in heaven.
Precisely WHY I’ll NEVER “tweet”. The birdcrap babbler is brimming with demons lashing out with forked tongues at anyone voicing anything compassionate, honest or intellectual. No wonder Rush DID NOT participate! He was much too intelligent to lower his standards. RIP dear Rush
Why do the heathen rage? And imagine a vain thing!
Let them expose themselves as the petty, ignorant, intolerant, soul-less lying leftist goons that they are.
The rest of us know better.
Talent Returned to God. RIP Rush, you will be sorely missed.
I guess one can see they are not God fearing people. They kill babies so why wouldn’t they celebrate the death of a person.
Not sure why this is surprising. When a “conservative icon” dies, certain “liberals” high-five. When a Democrat croaks, certain “conservatives” do likewise.
It’s because there is a great deal of unrelenting and irrational hatred in this country right now. And neither “side” has a monopoly.
Are you from the news media? Which, when and where did conservatives “high-five” when a democrat croaked? Too bad you and your ilk fail to understand that one of the great strengths of America has been the ability to RESPECT alternative points of view and to discuss and yes, argue amicably with someone of a different political persuasion. TRAGIC TRAGIC that this quality has been lost by the demons, yes, demons, who glorify the death of an American because they disagree with his political ideology
Democrats are so disgusting, they would celebrate Christ’s death
I wish someone would just kill jojo, camcam, pelosi, schummer, mcconnell, schiff, the other 7swamp rinos who voted impeach. Let’s see, who else did I leave off? I luved Rush Limbaugh. so, if there are those out there commenting ill regarding his death, just remember there are as many who feel even stronger about the left’s (unfortunately still alive). If these leftist communists socialists would just be wiped off the face of the earth, that would make me dance for joy!!!!!
Seems to me the left has missed the point. They say Rush was bigoted, hateful, anti-feminist, and just all around mean. If all of this were true, why was he so popular with a large portion of the country for soo long? The obvious answer may be that the left are the ones out of touch with society today. The thing that stumps me is why do all of these people on the left feel they are qualified to declare what everyone should think and “feel” about society today. In reality, who cares what they think? They don’t produce anything but division and controversy.
The comments by the demon Left points out emphatically the ideological split between them and the Right.
Noting short of Civil War and secession are now inevitable.
To bad it isn’t all those scumbags rotting in Hell where they belong
When you see and read the human waste on these pages regarding Rush Limbaugh, it’s always best to consider the source… then and only then can you see the person behind the remarks. RIP…Rush
Like removing monuments to soldiers and leaders of the South these scumbags will not remove the greatness of those that died fighting for something they believed in not to mention the thousands who were victims of union genocide in filthy unsanitary prisons. When people spit on the graves of champions of democracy like Rush Limbaugh words don’t exist to call them what they are: scumbags is a kind acknowledgement of their respect.
i pray for all you misguided souls that cheer when good men die a cry when evil men die.
Only people controlled by dark forces ( the devil ) would cheer a persons death.
Liberals are afraid of anyone telling the truth. Rush tried to explain what was happening in our government today.
Liberals are closed minded. I can not believe the people let our country be taken over by the self loving dems.
We need more people like Rush to stand up for the weak republicans.
With the rules on voting being so corrupt. Do we have a chance getting our free country back.
I can’t believe you people are so sick and stupid and heartless about someone dieing. You sick bastards.
you scummy liberal demorats are the ones that will rot in hell.
Just look at the people who made these comments, I mean seriously I think you misrepresented the term celebrities. Cenk, I had to spell his name twice because my spell check changed it, so Fez doesn’t like him!? Who are u an why should we care?
Then Erin the traitor w/her smug looking pic. I bet she was passed around like a joint at college parties. Then Bette Middler, the most washed up half ass of them all (well her an Kathy Griffin) she is truly a fat worthless bag of 💩!
Karma is wonderful thing sometimes an in their cases beautiful. There time is coming an if their celebrity status is high enough when they die I’m sure there will be a line to piss in their graves.
RIP Rush. Your commitment will live on forever.
One wonders what kind of people are on the left side of the political spectrum when they condone violence, celebrate death, and are just plain mean and nasty. Where did these heathen, outcast people come from all of a sudden? Is it because of social media and the god-awful press that we are just now hearing their rage?
The liberals have that special way to send off one of the Great men that lived! The liberals would be cackling like crows if we said something like that about one of them!!! Well, your reward is just waiting for you when you DIE!!! Just remember when you meet the devil that YOU are the only one to blame for your then current troubles which will begin as soon as the devil is finished with you!!!!
Who ARE these ill-informed “people”? In any event, Bless their Hearts!
Rush Limbaugh was a giant, a patriot. He loved America and the goodness of most Americans and wanted the best for everybody. The leftist trash who celebrate his death hate America and do NOT want the best for us. The leftist are anti-American, hated Rush Limbaugh, hated President Trump and even loath themselves. They are the human debris of history, the flotsam and jetsam of depravity and evil.
Without Twitter,these haters have no platform except for the big stage they occupy in their minds. The saddest part is the void left in the talk right radio platform/forum that can’t be filled. Rush was a founder. It couldn’t have happened at a more critical time in US history.
I hope it was a painful death.
You are one sick person. Being so hateful, I doubt you have any friends that will miss you… unlike Rush, who will be remembered for a long time….
It may have been. But not nearly so painful as the life you live. Only death will release you from that pain, then the pain of the fires of Hell begin for eternity. Have a nice day!
About as painfull as you pulling the head out of your ass….
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!
Well, what does one say when his “Brother From Another Mother” is attacked without mercy or provocation, assaulted on a daily basis, defiled, subjected to lies, simply because that brother shines a light on illegal activities and hypocrisy? As I read this vitriol, I formulated the most vile, ugly retorts for response. I thought of both simple and profound quips to describe these ugly un-American “has Beens” and “Never Were, Never WILL BE” so-called “Celebrities”! Yes, I was prepared to sink to their level, to climb down into the muck where they find their pathetic existence. But, instead, I choose to honor Rush Limbaugh as the Hero of America he was! He invented Talk Radio, and was the Big Kahuna of Conservative Ideals! He had more Class and charisma in his Baby Toe, than Bette Middler and all of her contemporaries have combined! Good bye, Rush! My biggest regret in this life is that I never got thru to Mr. Snerdly on your show! RIP, my Brother…
I’ve never subscribed to Twitter, so not sure my complaint will carry any weight with them, but haven’t any subscribers demanded suspension or cancellation of these posters’ accounts for their hate-riddled content?
Strange, okay maybe not so strange, those same hateful, bigoted, divisive, anti-American, Neo-fascist, democrat, “tolerant”, useless idiots would be gnashing their teeth in mouth frothing, rabid anger if any of up patriotic, conservative, law-abiding Americans were to publicly say the same thing about any of their “gods”.
These “critics” forget one thing. Someday they will die too and what goes around, comes around.
He really used to burn their butts when he was on the air. He is going to be greatly mised for his reporting
Aw-w-w-w-w! Did bad ol’ Rush disagree with all you brain-dead liberals?
I guess he didn’t get the memo that conservatives aren’t entitled to an opinion.
I can’t wait to see your crocodile tears when you find out the Washington mob lied to you!
Yes let’s rejoice in the passing of someone just because they had a different opinion! Makes me sick to my stomach!
Those who verbally trash someone in death have some serious mental problems
It always amazes me that when Liberals who use the most vile, repulsive, mean spirited language to describe Republicans/Conservatives are actually describing themselves with amazing accuracy.
Liberals can’t stand the Truth especially the Media they can’t even show the Truth. Let’s see how they Lie when Joe destroys America.
By coming out with such sick insensitive remarks, these liberal scumbags paid Rush the highest honor and best tribute possible among those who reside in their deranged world. He would not have wanted it any other way.
When Pelosi finally dies there will be a line like you have never seen of people wanting to piss on her grave. Same with most of the socialists and extreme left wing advocates in our government.
Truly disgusting. Aren’t liberals the ones who call everyone “haters?” They can spew all the vitriol they want, but you can’t.
What ever happened to common decency? You simply do not speak ill of the dead. If you don’t like him, keep your petulant whining liberal socialist democrat turd-swallowing mouth shut.
Rush Limbaugh was an exemplary scholar, orator, and gentleman. He will be sorely missed.
People like “good ridance” don’t have the balls to identify themselves. Liberal I’m sure.
Karma is a bit*h and a vengeful one at that so those that choose to speak ill of the dead be warned!!!!!
I think there’s a pattern.
R for Rush.
R for retard.
R for republicans.
R for righteous
R for regal
R for right
Any questions at all that this is all Satanic? Disrespectful and a very good example of the left’s mentality. Rush was none of these things presented here. Look who’s calling the kettle black. Sick human beings. Hitting a man while he’s down. Rest in peace sir (heavy on the sir.)
If ever there is anything that is mean, anti american, vile, shocking, UnGodly, evil, mean, depraved, sick, thoughtless or stupid. you can bet a demonrat somewhere supports it or came up with the idea.. God speed Rush Limbaugh!! Gods blessing on your angel Catherine!! Thank you God for allowing me to live in the era of one of the greatest and most positive minds to ever come to earth. I was 19 when I heard him the first time Im now 52 I can only imagine the conversations he may be having in heaven.
