may his wretched soul rest in peace

[striker42]

I hate when anyone's death is celebrated. You can think that person is absolutely vile and caused incredible damage but their death just means they are now beyond redemption and that's not something to celebrate. What's more, celebrating their death has literally no effect on the deceased. The only people it affects are the deceased's loved ones who are often completely innocent. Such celebrations are just engaging in the absolute worst aspects of the human phyche.

self-indulgence can be a healthy thing

i guess that belongs in the controversial takes thread

[nsacpi]

the dude did play an integral role building up the National Grievance and Victimhood Industry

i'll give him that much

it is a fast growing industry that has created a certain amount of jobs and wealth

long live the free market of ideas (even very bad ones)

[striker42]

To me, celebrating someone's death just shows you're as morally bankrupt as the person whose death you're celebrating. Literally no good comes from celebrating the death of another human being.

Rush Limbaugh has died.

Cue the celebrations from the party of love and tolerance

I absolutely love how quickly you are ready to clutch your pearls at a moments notice

It’s impressive

On the Air

He mocked 12 year old Chelsea Clinton's looks

He can rot in hell.

When that wasn't enough he veered back to clip 12 year old Amy Carter as well

ah yes we should be showing respect for his death, why of course

[nsacpi]

ah yes we should be showing respect for his death, why of course

his popularity was partly due to his cruelty...that was part of his brand

[sturg33]

[goldfly]

his followers and listeners enjoyed the cruelty

and now they whine about the rest of us not respecting them

whining culture is strong in certain circles

whatever happened to the American ideal of the stoic man

sad

You have spent 4 years obsessively whining about some guy...

[nsacpi]

people act like boors...or they cheer on boors and bullies...and then complain about not being respected...it is a baffling phenomenon...whining culture

I'm interested to see people's takes on this:

Who cheers upon the deaths of their political adversaries more, conservatives, liberals, or both in equal measures?

When was the last time the right cheered for a liberals death,

I don't know if the victims and survivors of the Parkland and Sandy Hook massacres count as "liberals" but my guess is you will want to disavow MTG and Alex Jones as being from the "right"

Those children and their families have become "symbolic liberals" for some because they got in way of a certain ideological point of view

btw someone tapdancing on Limbaugh's grave in my book is doing something a lot less reprehensible than what has been done to the survivors and families of the massacres referenced above...and of course you have Limbaugh's own on air celebrations of deaths from AIDS

I didn’t see anyone happy about dead kids. MTG was a nobody up until a week ago and Alex Jones never threw a party about the shootings.
