Current Events > Rush Limbaugh just announced that he has advanced lung canced

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ok I understand the severity of lung cancer & all, but is anyone gonna address the elephant in the room & acknowledge that that's not the case here? The topic title clearly states that he has lung canced; I'm not an expert on canced or anything, but for all we know it could a different thing entirely.

And it seems very wrong for you to make up lies like this:

Someone literally said that he was cheering for the cancer.

Welp, I guess that was modded. Cant say Im surprised.

---

As much as I think Rush is a terrible human being who has used his position to poison the minds of Americans, I wouldn't wish death, especially by something as awful as cancer, on him.

Hope he can beat it, but if not, I hope he can go peacefully surrounded by loved ones.

He was not fine before that

probably right. we never listened to him before but only know of that time.
---

I seem to recall him decrying addiction/emphysema/lung cancer from tobacco as being some sort of liberal hoax back in the 90s.

The kindest thing I can say is that while I don't actively wish him ill, I don't think I'll have it in me to mourn.

I sincerely hope he beats this, and that the experience gives him some self-reflection that sets him on a better path. Because if he stays on the path he's on, I doubt he's going to the place he thinks he's going when his time on this earth is done.

He also talked alot of shit about people who got hooked on painkillers, then made apologies or really even a comment when he had to go to rehab himself.

lots of love

Lmao @ how subtle this was. +1

Found an interesting list of awful shit he's said over the years

Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog? *while showing a picture of Chelsea Clinton*

Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.

When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; its an invitation.

Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

I think its time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call em gangs.

Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier.

He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. Hes moving all around and shaking and its purely an act. This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didnt take his medication or hes acting.

Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, whats to complain about?

Im a huge supporter of women. What Im not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose, and feminism has led women astray. I love women. I dont know where all this got started. I love the womens movement, especially when walking behind it.

If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, its Caucasians.

Take that bone out of your nose and call me back. *said to an African American caller*

Had a syndicated radio show for like 3 decades and this is the sort of stuff he said.

As I said, he's an awful man.

They need to take a break. Go outside and go for a walk or something. This type of behavior is so unhealthy.

I mean again, having had the disease myself, I would certainly never wish it (or any illness) on anyone, I think that's an awful thing to carry around with yourself

But yeah, he's not a good man and this doesn't make him better.

Like I said before though, I hope he recovers

Why does this always happen to me.

Can a mod fix the subject?

I know.
Gamefaqs is long overdue for a feature that allows you a certain window of time to alter topic titles.

However, I certain they thought about it before but were more concerned about posters abusing the feature.

I always wonder how very wealthy people get some types of cancer. Obviously you cant detect everything, but if I had a history of smoking I'd be getting checked every 6 months. He makes 80 million a year. Or maybe it just doesn't work like that??
