The targets of his attacks often received death threats from his sycophantic fan base. To the end, he stoked the environment that led to an insurrectionist attack on our Capitol, and dismissed calls to end such violence. American political discourse is in a dangerous state. Our country is the most divided it has been since the Civil War. As we work to heal the nation, we cannot elevate a person credited for fostering our divisions and emboldening the worst tendencies of human nature.
Leftist control freaks like Wasserman-Schmutz need to go p*ss up a rope.
Well, flags in my town in FL are already flying flags at half mast. The governor ordered it period.
As painful as it is to agree with a feceshead like her,I agree.Rush wasn't a government official,and had never been elected to anything in his lifeIf we do this for Rush,who next,Al Sharpton? BaBa WaWa?
@libertybele Just because it has already been done by some loon politician looking for glory doesn't mean it SHOULD have been done.This helps establish a precedent of honoring celebrities like national heroes. I don't like it.
It is a State thing. Lighten up Francis.
Limbaugh was awarded the Medal of Freedom, had 15M loyal listeners, and had more impact than anyone else on conservative politics in the past 30 years. There would not have been a POTUS Trump without Rush's stamp of legitimancy late in 2015. I agree that we don't need to lower flags for random celibrities. But Rush was just as important and revered by us conservatives as John Lewis was for Black America.
@catfish1957 Remind me again. I have forgotten. When was Rush elected to anything? He was a CELEBRITY.There is nothing keeping you or any of his other fans for taking off for work by calling in sick for his birthday if you want,but the way this crap is going,it won't be long before there will be paid holidays for celebs like him.Next thing you know,the left will be wanting Jane Fonda's birthday to be celebrated. You ok with that,too?
@sneakypete I caught Limbaugh’s show whenever I could and enjoyed it. But I agree with you
Were the debate over whether it was an appropriate gesture for a pioneering national talkshow host - regardless of politics - I'd question it, too. But Little Debbie's tantrum is pure politics.
Palm Beach County refuses to lower flags for Rush Limbaughhttps://www.breitbart.com/news/palm-beach-county-refuses-to-lower-flags-for-rush-limbaugh/
The precedent was set long ago, MLK HOLIDAY, and many other concessions to Him. The barn door was left open long ago.
