    May he rest in peace.

    Obviously I was never a fan an never listened to him but feel he could have used his power / fan base to do a better job of shaping the party....


    "Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday morning at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced."


    Has anyone checked on Billy?

    The man peddled hate. We all need God's mercy but it helps if you recognize your failings and repent of them. Limbaugh did neither. He made money finding ways to amp up anger and division. I hope God finds mercy for him.

    I followed Rush because some of my Conservative friends followed him. And, it allowed me to understand where they were coming from.

    It was a nice touch that his wife announced his death. For, it meant something to his fans that she would step up and do that. I send condolences to those who will miss him.

    I listened to his show a bit when he was new. It was something different and interesting, but that didn't last for me. It got old quickly. He did have a talent and found an audience to fit.

    He did what most every business person tries to do---he identified a market and he exploited it---and he exploited it very successfully.

    I have no tolerance for folks like Rush that spew hate and bigotry. I will not miss him.

    The list of those on the other side of the political aisle you have no tolerance for must be long indeed.
