How many here would wish dead the freeper relative of a fellow DUer?

[JackDragna]

1. I would.

I have no compassion for the base, the callous, the judgmental. As Scrooge said, best to reduce the surplus population.

[johnaries]

3. How "liberal" and "compassionate" of you. nt

[JackDragna]

5. I am liberal, but I have compassion...

...for those who do not make millions out of spreading misery, intolerance and hate. I have no more compassion for Limbaugh than anyone should've had for Josef Goebbels.

[johnaries]

7. Right. As long as that works for you.

[Hannah Bell]

11. +1. it's funny...

some of the folks concerned for limbaugh have previously called for the heads of e.g. roman polanski, illiterate tribespeople practicing female circumcision, etc.

but to wish ill to a modern-day goebbels figure who whores propaganda for money - oh, perish the thought. he should die gently at an advanced age on sweet silk sheets.

[Violet_Crumble]

19. You've got zero compassion for their families....

Y'know, like the woman who wrote the article in the OP. And you sound kind of similar to freepers who try to justify their wishing death on others. Just because they do it doesn't mean we should do it too.

on edit: This has got nothing to do with being a liberal or not. There are some conservatives and some leftwingers who wish death on people whose political ideology they find repellant, and others don't, so it's not like this is something confined to either freepers or liberals. For someone who thinks it's just great to wish death on someone like Limbaugh, what does it achieve except maybe give a few folks a warm fuzzy feeling? It's not like another equally revolting person isn't going to come along to take his place...

[JackDragna]

28. You're right. I don't.

Good ol' "Rusty" makes his money by making life a living hell for others. Limbaugh is the single biggest poisoner of the political discourse in the U.S. over the last 20 years. And it DOES give me a fuzzy feeling to think he might die. Perhaps he'll be replaced by someone else, but I'll wager that person is much less glib and odious than Limbaugh.

[Feron]

33. I completely agree.

The right-wingers in my life are misguided politically, but would do everything they could to help out a friend in need.

Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, is a selfish POS that spreads his bile on the airwaves every weekday. Fuck him and the anal cyst he rode in on.

[Luminous Animal]

You are confusing liberals with a doormat.

There is nothing weak about a liberal. They have fought and lost their liberty and died for the rights of all human beings. The likes of Rush has been every liberal's enemy.

[Mz Pip]

2. I don't wish him dead

But I'm not going out of my way to pray for a speedy recovery either.

Whatever happens happens. He doesn't need my prayers or my good wishes nor do I think he would want them. What Rush needs is a massive lifestyle change. I can't help him there.

[Greyhound]

4. Fuck him.

Off to hide-a-thread land now...

[KG]

6. piss on him. he's a terrorist w/ a microphone instead of a gun.

[Arkana]

8. Hitler and Stalin had families too. Didn't make them less horrible.

Dick Cheney has grandkids that I'm sure he loves very much--but he's still an evil, pulsating boil on the ass of the country.

[hyphenate]

23. Emm...

It's Rush who has the boil on the ass, not cheney. cheney is just a robot for the saudis--a tin man with no heart.

[Arkana]

27. I know that Rush actually HAS a giant ass zit. Dick Cheney IS an ass zit.

[Cleita]

9. I'm sure if people wanted him dead, it would have been spoken of long

before now. I think the fact that he might be on hiatus for awhile from his poisonous radio show is a good thing for us. It accomplishes the same thing without him dying. We don't want him dead. We want his fat mouth to be shut up. There's a big difference.

[Quantess]

10. I agree.

I'm disgusted and appalled by some of tonight's crowd at DU.

[cliffordu]

12. I would. Fuck him.

[Zhade]

13. Okay. I wish he'd never been born. Better?

NT!

[Spider Jerusalem]

14. Ron Reagan is a great guy. His father still makes me wish I believed in hell, though.

[bridgit]

15. Yes, that is true. It would take a Fascist sleeper neocon republican malcontent like Rush...

Or one, if not several, of his sycophantic brian-dead GOP fucks that believe in his ignorant ass to wish such a thing upon anyone. That's why mine is different:

Eat Shit and LIVE! With shit in your belly

John Donne - Meditation XVII: No man is an island...Rush Limbaugh is the only man fanciful enough to think that he is



edit >h

[katandmoon]

16. I will give that POS Rush Limbaugh exactly as much consideration as he gave Michael J. Fox.

NONE. I remember reading that article and it made me sick. She admires him for his humor and savvy? I have news for you, Julie, you can't have it both your ways. Your cousin is a fucking hatemonger who like Joseph McCarthy deserves nothing but contempt from decent people.

[SpookyCat]

17. Bingo.

My blood boiled when I saw that little act. My mother died from Parkinson's. Compassion for him? I don't fucking think so.

I don't wish anyone dead because that would harm me, not for their sake. But I will not spare one second of thought for him now or when he dies.

My sympathies for anyone who does care for him, but don't ask me to shed a tear.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. BINGO.

[Oregone]

20. I wish he would stop lying and making money fucking this country up

If it takes his death to make that happen, fuck it

[Luminous Animal]

21. I am an inglorious bastard.

Die, motherfucker, die.

[LittleBlue]

22. I'm a mean person

So I guess it's fine.

[Hannah Bell]

24. how about if i wish him to get a cancer that would slowly rot his brain for the next 30 years?

oh, wait...

[mmonk]

25. That's right, the cancer cells would die of starvation.

[REP]

26. I am so worried about someone thinking I'm mean. Heaven forfend, motherfuckers.

[XanaDUer]

32. Didn't you get the memo?

Libs are suppposed to embrace and celebrate abuse and those who incite violence, make fun of teenage girls and call them dogs (all the while looking like something a cat shat out after eating a bony squirrel), make fun of Parkinson patients, and a whole host of other fun-n-tasty things that most folks would be shot for in more civilized countries.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. It's mean to hope Rush Limbaugh survives.

And I'll be happy to wish any freeper dead.

[madokie]

30. Sure it isn't

he's a traitor and nothing but if you ask me. At least he should have to prove he is not a traitor

[XanaDUer]

31. I believe in fighting evil

So, yeah, frankly, if he died, it would give me a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling.
