This thread makes me sick. I didn't realize motorcycle riders could be so petty and uninformed about a guy that just died of cancer.

Rush Limbaugh: Donated $100,000 to St. Jude Children's hospital to remain anonymous until he died.

Rush annual Leukemia Cure-A-Thon raised & donated over $50 million

2019- $5 million donate to foundation that paid off mortgages of widows of law enforcement.

I'm sure all you haters didn't know that.

Let's start a running total of donations from all the Rush haters. And I know most of you live in the Bay Area so 2+2 does not equal 5.

Bo Snerdley, a black man, was Rush's producer and call screener for 2 decades. "It burns me to my soul when people sully his reputation with falsehoods, calling him a racist. This man was just an incredible phenomenon -- and we love you, Rush."

So you're saying you can buy your way out of being a shitbag?

Did anyone make a hateful thread about Ruth Ginsberg on BARf when she died?

I seriously doubt it would have gone on this long as this thread has.

Nice double standards Mods.

Was she a racist hate monger?

I can easily google you his top 10 racist statements right now, would you like me to do it?

Side note, if he wasn't really racist, he pushed a racist persona for money. There is no situation here where he is the good guy.

I would think that would be worse. It is bad enough to be racist due to ignorance, it is another level of horrible to be racist on purpose for money.

I didn't know the guy. Apparently his producer was black, and was hacked off that people kept calling dude a racist.

:dunno

Like I said before, I wasn't super familiar with his work and am more observing the conflicting statements here.

In my experience, racists usually proudly claim it and have the Black Panther or Lightning Bolt tattoos to show it off.

Most of the shit confused people on the left like to pretend is racist is cultural intolerance and not remotely based on race. :dunno

I mean, hate mongering to promote xenophobia and cultural intolerance of "the enemy," is big money on both sides of American Politics. :dunno

He has made directly comments based on race.

You can have commentary based on race and even make some bad calls without being a person who believes that different colors of people belong to different subspecies that have fundamental incompatibilities. :dunno

But most of the time, you are just a plain old bigot. I listened to Rush a lot in the late '90s, and even then he was an off the leash bigot and misogynist. It was a bit difficult to tell if he was merely playing a role or not, but his ditto heads certainly weren't. They were eating it up.

Did you like Rush? Why or why not?

Did he do any harm?

Oh, I think there can be no question that on some level he was a bigot, I think his rhetoric as described makes it pretty clear.

However a bigot is not necessarily a racist and when identifying a problem, accuracy of language matters when attempting to identify a solution.

You're doing a great job defending him keep it up :thumbup

You are confusing attempts to refute your hostility towards him with defending his identity or behavior.

I am not particularly interested in him, I am however deeply interested in the community here on BARF and the social boundaries around how it functions.

I don't know if you know this, but you can do all those things without being a human shitbag.

Rush Limbaugh was a human shitbag.

Your account is only a few years younger than mine but I don't recall ever seeing a post from you before that. There's no way to have your account deleted but if you go of your own accord I doubt you'll be missed. have a good one.

You can tell very well the character of a person by the way they speak of others when they are not around.

Similarly, like when people trash talk their exes, they think they are degrading their ex, when truly they are only degrading themselves.

It is a similar principle. These behaviors are ignoble and not practiced by servants of the noblesse oblige.

No one is under any obligation to behave in any particular way, but they way you choose to save face and preserve it certainly dictates the class of person you are.

You talk about genuine expression like it's a bad thing.
