Rush Limbaugh dies at age 70. This is why he was so important

- Rush Limbaugh, the conservative media icon who for decades used his perch as the king of talk-radio to shape the politics of both the Republican Party and nation, died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. He was 70 years old.
Limbaugh's wife Kathryn made the announcement on his radio show Wednesday.
"As so many of you know, losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life," she said. "Rush will forever be the greatest of all time."
Limbaugh announced in February 2020 that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Limbaugh continued to host his show while undergoing treatment, and he told listeners that he remained hopeful he would defeat the disease.
A pioneer of AM talk-radio, Limbaugh for 32 years hosted "The Rush Limbaugh Show," a nationally-syndicated program with millions of loyal listeners that transfigured him into a partisan force and polarizing figure in American politics. In many ways, his radio show was like the big bang of the conservative media universe. "TheRush Limbaugh Show" helped popularize the political talk-radio format and usher in a generation of conservative infotainment.
Using his sizable platform, Limbaugh advanced conservative ideas, though he often waded into conspiratorial waters and generated controversy for hateful commentary on gender and race. During the course of his career, Limbaugh started a number of fires with his commentary.
Limbaugh offered a conditional apology after he accused actor Michael J. Fox of exaggerating his Parkinson's disease and apologized when he a insulted law school student Sandra Fluke. He relentlessly attacked President Barack Obama, going as far as to fan the flames of birtherism, the discredited idea that Obama was born outside the United States and therefore not eligible to be President. And, in the last few years, he peddled "deep state" conspiracy theories, providing cover for President Donald Trump, who he counted as a friend.
More recently, Limbaugh appeared to approve of some forms of political violence in the immediate aftermath of the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. He also drew backlash at the outset of the pandemic when he dismissed the coronavirus as the "common cold" and contended that it was being "weaponized" by members of the mainstream press to bludgeon Trump and harm his re-election chances. The missive was classic Limbaugh, who built a career on expressing strong distrust of the established press order and referred to himself as "America's Anchorman."
Despite his penchant for pushing conspiracy theories and peddling misinformation that benefited Trump and the other political figures he supported over the years, Limbaugh acknowledged the weight of his words in a 2008 interview with The New York Times.
"I take the responsibility that comes with my show very seriously," Limbaugh told the newspaper. "I want to persuade people with ideas. I don't walk around thinking about my power. But in my heart and soul, I know I have become the intellectual engine of the conservative movement."
'No one had heard anything like it before'
Rush Hudson Limbaugh III was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Rush Hudson Limbaugh Jr. and Mildred Carolyn Limbaugh. His father, Limbaugh Jr., was a prominent Republican activist. Limbaugh's younger brother, David Limbaugh, is a lawyer and conservative commentator.
From a young age, Limbaugh was interested in a career in radio. When he was 16 years old Limbaugh enrolled in a summer course on radio engineering and earned a broadcaster's license. He soon landed a job in local radio. Limbaugh's father demanded he attend college, but Limbaugh had little interest.
"My father expected me to be a professional man," Limbaugh told The Times. "The problem was, I hated school. I hated being told what to do. In the Boy Scouts I never got a single merit badge. In school my grades were terrible. I just didn't want to be there. I just wanted to be on the radio."
Limbaugh eventually attended Southeast Missouri State University for a year before dropping out. He struggled to find a stable career in radio, working at various stations, including as a top-40 DJ. Limbaugh also struggled in his personal life, having divorced two women in a span of 10 years.
Things changed when he moved to Sacramento, California, to work at KFBK-AM in 1984. From there, Limbaugh developed "The Rush Limbaugh Show." He struck success, doing well in the ratings and earning the attention of Ed McLaughlin, the former head of ABC Radio. In 1988, when Limbaugh's show became nationally syndicated, he moved to New York to broadcast from WABC.

Unless your prayers are to the devil, I suggest you reacquaint yourself with what the scripture say about prayers i.e. what they for, who are they directed to, and what he/she is hoping to hear from your prayers. If have you have any idea about who does the listening of prayers, then be warned!!

@@thayoutubebigwig1109 I think a good idea to help stimulate, is to give people $1,400. in the Covid Relief Bill, while at the same time changing it so people have to report any income over $600. in a calendar year for used items they sell online. The previous threshold was $20K. Biden and the Dems are obviously going after only the rich with this hidden gem. The media will not cover it, so people are going to be forced to learn the hard way, which is when the 1099 comes in the mail, for the old stuff that they sold from their closet the year before. Get $1,400. one time, and pay that and then some for taxes from now on. They are not just going after the small amount of used stuff for taxes, but many other gigs that people have been doing to support themselves in these difficult times.
@@truthoverfacts9254 ther is no tax ion the stim,,, boogersugar
@@thayoutubebigwig1109 I'm saying hidden in the bill, is a change to the income threshold for sites like eBay, Etsy, Uber, Postmates, etc. It went from an income threshold of $20K, to only $600. starting in 2022.
This means if somebody is cleaning out their closet, and sell over $600. worth of stuff, then they will get hit with a 1099. Who do you think this hurts, the rich? No, the average citizen just trying to sell their used stuff and survive.
I don't know if their is a language barrier here, or you're just controlled by the media. Whatever the case, I do not see this as being productive. If you are going to compare Rush to Hitler, then that sums it up for me.

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.
"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."

The earth has been through the same cycle before but you're laughed at or shrugged off if you bring either one of those up. Also, when you realize that it's just turned into a reason to raise taxes and impose carbon taxes then you just turned the scientists into lobbyists and you only quote the ones you agree with then their is an issue and I don't blame anyone for questioning either side. Also, there's a lot of weird stuff like manipulating satellite photos to make it seem like there is large-scale ice melting when that was proven not to be real. That's why they call it climate change and not global warming now. Also, when a government turns to fear mongering as a tactic I tend to want to do the opposite. Look at coronavirus, they asked for a 2 weeks of lockdowns and restrictions to "slow the curve" and we are now into the second year of being told we can't work etc. I don't trust government period and when scientists become lobbyists I tend to look for better sources. The truth is that neither you or I know for 100% certainty so if you plan on pointing fingers then I advise you to do it in the mirror. I like how you specified "at least all the credible ones" when talking about scientists. You might as well have just said "at least all the ones I agree with".
@MORITZ LUBECKER nah, I proceeded to discredit your complete argument without even pretending to be a scientist like you. It's not even scientifical what you stated. It's just that you heard 2 or 3 talking points and you now base your entire existence off of pointing fingers and calling people wrong. It's funny how fast you fled from the argument of election denial. You were so happy to find something else to disagree on. You're nothing but a goddamn hypocrite.
I am as touched by his death as he was touched by poor peoples' suffering...

Poor people? He could care less about poor people, he wanted tax cuts for the rich always, wanted poor people to fight in wars, while his fat rich ass hid under his bed!
He was immensely charitable.

What a DISHONOR to award the Medal of Honor to someone like this, but then again, just remember who gave it to him and think of all the other low-life criminals who received it. I say, good riddance, I'm nobody to judge him, I leave that to God, and this guy has a lot to answer for.

@just plain_name hahahahahahahahaha
@just plain_name Actually during this sort of weather they already planned on using only 7% from Wind Energy (not to mention they did not winterize their wind generators as they were supposed to). The majority of their energy at this time of the year comes from coal and oil. Those are what have failed them. The cherry on top of all of this is that it probably wouldn't be this bad if it were not for Human driven climate change. They can thank their own reliance upon oil and coal for that.
@just plain_name 12% of tx energy
@just plain_name Texas on average, renewable energy sources - mostly wind - account for about 20% of its energy supply . But the largest proportion comes from fossil fuels, as well as 10% from nuclear. What happened to the other nuclear and fossil energy???

He will be greatly missed. He spoke truth in many things
The back and forth on his death has made me wonder - who deserves compassion and sympathy in their passing? I think about the people in my city who are cold and homeless. I imagine the untold hundreds who have struggled with mental illness for decades, dying alone under bridges or in subway stations. Maybe they were an addict, maybe they were an abuser, maybe even a thief or a murderer, maybe they chose this life in some way or another. And I wonder about how many deaths like that will happen tonight in my city, in my state, in my country.
And here I am wondering what to think, about a man who deserves no more sympathy than those forgotten souls, and who is just as removed from my life. The only difference is that I know his name and not theirs.
Go find a way to clone yourself. Put the setting on "lots more". Much Luv!
Very profound! And touching! So, so true!
@madhatter 41 You never listened to an episode of Rush in your life. That man spread compassion and kindness, not hate.
capitalism will save all that
@madhatter 41 and somehow that justifies us, as human beings to stoop just as low, if not lower, by celebrating his death? Interesting set of morals you've got there.

Have em if you want em. We don't suck off elected officials like others do.
Honestly I'm sicken by the vile comments out of people mouths. I would never rejoice in someones death just because I disagreed with their opinions. I think we can see who the real advocates of hate are.
The guy regularly did sick and twited stuff on his show like celebrating and mocking the deaths of LGBTQ+ on his show, and said that children who were too poor to afford school lunches should be forced to eat whatever was left in the school dumpster. So don't give us the "Just opinions" nonsense, He was a sick monster.
Rush talked ill and badly about people who died, he's a raging racist sexist stain on media
Good point..Rush really just was against the radical left...like the Clinton's, Gore's and the new left from the 60s. They hated the country then, and they hate it now...their politics are designed to destroy the economy, and the American culture ......and a lot of those other wise cracks were about comedy and entertainment.....but the left doesn't understand humor.
