Rush Limbaugh has a heart attack?

No, that would be wishing murder on someone.

How so? "I wish he were dead" applies to both murder and natural causes.

For those who wish death on Rush, you are essentially highlighting yourself as weak Human beings, unable to soundly defeat the opposition with the superiority of your arguments. Instead you choose a painful death. What does that say about your arguments?

This is coming from a socialist, btw.

For those who would cheerlead about this issue, explain exactly how it makes you any different than those you abhor so much.

If you are seriously of the mindset that certain people should die for their points of view, then you are no better than they are, period.

It really is completely amazing that this discussion is even taking place. Mind boggling even.

Let me ask you two questions, Whiplash:

1) Why do you assume that the people who gloat or snicker at his (potential) death automatically wished him dead? There's a difference. The whole, "I don't wish for his death, but when it'll come I'll just say 'good riddance to bad rubbish'" kind of thing.

2) Why do you assume that the people who do wish he were dead, that they wish this because of "different political opinions"? Couldn't they have other reasons that you are not considering?

Sounds like you assume just a bit too much. ;)

Huh? Pretty much all of the retarded nonsense Limbaugh has spouted has been refuted time and time again, but if you think superiority of arguments will make Limbaugh shut the hell up, you're deluded. It's not about "losing an argument" at all. What a funny non-sequitur.

Something that's going to be repeated on dozens of conservative blogs under the headline "Liberal Hate-Fest Over Rush".

Some of them might even go for the sarcastic "Liberal Tolerance On Display" headline.

The goal isn't supposed to be to force people you don't like to "shut the hell up."
 
AP said:
Limbaugh said at a Honolulu news conference that he was being released from The Queen's Medical Center, where he was rushed Wednesday during a vacation. Doctors said he did not have a heart attack or heart disease.

"The pain was real, and they don't know what caused it," Limbaugh said.

And at the presser, where questions were NOT permitted, someone magically got one in at the last moment....
AP said:
Asked whether he was taking painkillers, Limbaugh said no.

So where did the EMT meme come from about Rush being back on the Ox?

FOX NEWS

You have two ways to prevent an individual from gaining support:

1: Use your respectful, detailed, and rational arguments to expose the superiority of your side, in turn exposing the deceitful, rude, loud and poor arguments of the opponent. You win, with your dignity standing tall. It's what Mandela or King would do.

2: Watch while the individual dies, and laugh from your sofa. You win, for a short time (before Sarah Palin begins her new radio show with "Look at the callous nature of the left, and they want to say how we should take care of our citizens?"), with no dignity, and no respect. It's what Hannity or Galloway would do.

HONOLULU -- Conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh said Friday tests showed nothing was wrong with his heart after he was hospitalized with chest pains.

Limbaugh, 58, was released from The Queen's Medical Center two days after he was rushed there during a vacation. Doctors said he did not have a heart attack or heart disease.

Read it and weep, all you *compassionate* leftists. :D
 
Whiplash said:
No, Undesired Walrus summed it up nicely. And I think you are just playing games here to be clever.

In my lifetime, I've seen no shortage of people on the left who decry fascism, and overzealous religious types, because of their desire to kill people and clamp down harshly on dissent, all in the name of advancing their own point of view.

Anyone who fights against that, who goes so far as to suggest that it's ok to kill someone, or wish them dead, because of their views, is doing exactly the thing they accuse the other side of. It's absolutely no different. That's my point.

It's not an open admission that the right feels that way. It's saying "Let's say I grant that mindset for the sake of argument...how are you behaving any better?". It's your side that makes those claims. I'm suggesting a lack of consistency.

I'm suggesting that what you decry is exactly what many of you engage in.

Many on the left clearly live with the attitude that the ends do in fact justify the means, and that two wrongs do in fact make a right.

Of course I was just playing games to be clever Whiplash.
I was using the way you worded your comment to make a joke.
I thought it was obvious enough that a smiley would be unnecessary and since you realized it was a joke it was....for you.

Of course dudalb had to jump up and down with his usual "both sides are terrible and I am 'Mr. Fair & Balanced' but that is his own version of a knee jerk reaction and is to be expected. Only poster I know that strives to be partisanly non-partisan.

Oh man...it will be Jerry Falwell all over again. I wanted to throw up for about a week hearing all the good things about Falwell..

This reminded me of a blog I posted in 2007:


Jerry Falwell, Dead at Last

As an atheist, I'm sometimes called upon to answer what would make me change my beliefs to become a Christian. One answer would be for God to answer the following prayer I wrote in honor of Jerry Falwell's overdue demise.

Dear Lord,

Let me first start off by thanking you for killing Jerry Falwell. I'm sure if you're a just God like Christians say, that glutton is roasting in a lake of fire right now trying to slurp the gravy from his own melting fat. Frankly, I was a little disappointed it took you so long, but I understand your ways are mysterious, blah, blah, blah.

I know from the Bible that you're really good at killing, from torturing little children with cancer to smiting entire cities because you saw some homos kissing. Now you have the opportunity to go on a roll with another killing spree. So I pray to you to kill the following people ASAP followed by hell with knashing of teeth etc. etc. You know the drill Babe.

- G. W. Bush: Please don't make a martyr out of him by having him assassinated. I would like him to die on the toilet like Elvis slumped over in his own vomit. Maybe you could make his balls explode or something. No, even better, have Cheney shoot him and then kill himself.​

- Pat Robertson: Just kill him and get it over with - you're already way too late.​

- All the other TV preachers.​

- Rush Limbaugh​

- My next door neighbor with the 6 dogs that bark all night. If you don't do it, I will.​

If you can deliver on this prayer within 90 days I will believe in You.

Praise Jesus and Santa, blah, blah, blah - you know the rest.
Amen.
 
I'm no fan (in fact, I think he has actively dumbed down political discourse to a near brain-dead levels), but this thread has been a tad on the harsh side.

What "goal"? If there's a goal, it'd be for Limbaugh to acknowledge he's been wrong and start being a decent, intelligent human being, but that's not going to happen, not ever.
Undesired Coins was saying that you could "win" against Limbaugh by having superior arguments and that somehow, chuckling at his potential death was "losing". The problem with this statement are twofold: one, Limbaugh's "arguments" (I wouldn't even call his vapid discourse that) have already been refuted time and time again, so if there's a "win", it's an empty one (it won't make Limbaugh acknowledge he was wrong, or stop him from spouting more inanities -- in fact, he just presses on harder), and two, chuckling at his death takes nothing away from the fact that his rhetoric has already been refuted so it's not "losing" either.
 
I'd pay good money to see Limbaugh and Beck fight to the death. And the winner has to fight O'Reilly.

And this opinion is actually toned down for all you lilly-livered Pinko nancy boys, pantywaists, and bleeding hearts who decry the schadenfreude people like me enjoy in hearing Rush had a heart attack.

I'm with you. Here's an oldie from 2003.

http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=298890&postcount=53

To the tune of Truckin' by the Grateful dead.

Truckin' got my OxyContin
Keep truckin, just like those guys on ESPN
Together, me and Wilma Cline, just keep truckin' on.

Tens of thousands of Xanax copped with a fake prescription
In West Palm Beach I got power and financial means
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Doesn't matter 'cause I can't hear a thing.

Philadelphia's got no quarterback
Houston? Bush, he wants my autograph
In New York, got my cochlear implant
But I still don't know a damned thing, oh no.

Most of the Lorcet you buy on the streets costs too much,
Most of the time I wish I could buy it at home
One of these days I'm gonna get a prescription
If it were legal The Enquirer would be writing 'bout UFO's.

Truckin', like Don McNabb. Once told me "Why you babble so bad?
Did you just get back from Peru?
You must be sniffing glue."

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times Noelle Bush hangs up her phone on me
Lately it occurs to me: What an a**hole I have been.

What in the world ever became of my ratings?
My lawyers advise me not to say a thing
Talent on loan from hydrocodone
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"

Truckin', up to Betty Ford. Been thinkin', you got to take on
Behavioral psychotherapy, and maybe find the Lord.

At the buffet it'll be bombs away
What the Palm Beach County State Attorney wants me to say
Antipsychotics in the gravy
What have they put in the food to make me feel this way?

Busted by my housekeeper
Six figures is what I heard they paid her
Ditto to what I spent last year
On ten thousand elixirs, oh no

You know, I told you there’s nothing good about drug use.
It destroys individuals, families and societies
Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country
I'll meet you in the parking lot over at Denny's, okay?

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times Noelle Bush hangs up her phone on me
Lately it occurs to me: What an a**hole I have been.[/QUOTE]

Too late for that one by at least 20 years.

Heard a news item on the radio yesterday to the effect that the disgusting ball of FAIL had released a statement to the effect that he was confident that he had recieved the best health care available on the planet.

In light of what else I have heard the maggot-like creature sayon air, he probably meant this to imply that those of us who criticize the health care delivery system in this country are whining about a non-problem.

Well, freakin' DUH!

If you are a brain-damaged twit who makes several hundred thousand times what you are really worth to civilization and can go out of pocket to pay for it, yeah, the system works great.

To the people who actually make America work, however, the cost of what he just went through would be ruinous.

Like he gives a rat's.

Still haven't figured out why I should feel any particiular sorrow should a failed Homo sapiens like the pig man croak.

It does not lacerate, abrade or even noticeably chafe my kundingi if misfortune befalls such a sorry excuse for a sentient lifeform.

leftysergeant, what if negative vibes from the left translate into healing vibes on the right?

I figured out what to wear in hi-school, for instance, through the negative feedback of my mom.

Enjoyed your vitriol, btw. Probably skirting the edge of censorship, which seems necessary, on both sides of an argument.

You have a strikingly low bar for what needs to be censored.
