It’s wrong to post that now.

This is despicable, whether it's about Rush Limbaugh or RBG.

I’m sure the MSM is pointing out that he was a drug addict on his 3rd marriage
That was the only negative thing they could say while he was alive

That he turned half this county into Conspiracy theorists is the other thing.

I actually didn't know that or see that anywhere now. He was a paragon of hate who made a career spewing vitriol and was a hideous influence on the country & the world. His death should be celebrated by every peace seeking person - והתענגו על רב שלום.

During the AIDS crisis, the ever vile Rush Limbaugh had a radio segment called “AIDS update” where he read a list of gay men who died of AIDS to mock them as he played celebratory music, bells and horns

He called most of the country terrorists who want America to fail, called veterans wounded in Iraq "phony soldiers", convinced people to stay in Florida and not fall for government scare tactics before secretly escaping the hurricanes, and was literally killed by something he encouraged and claimed wasn’t hazardous.

May his evil legacy die with him, יימח שמו וזכרו.

This is despicable, whether it's about Rush Limbaugh or RBG.
The only thing that's despicable is comparing those two.

Perhaps you should start with opening a dictionary to tell the difference between celebrating and seeking, and then reconsider if your moral compass is Charley Reese or Shlomo Hamelech who said באבוד רשעים רינה or his father who said וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִד֮ כִּ֣י מֵ֣ת נָבָל֒ וַיֹּ֡אמֶר בָּר֣וּךְ ה' אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָב֩ אֶת־רִ֨יב חֶרְפָּתִ֜י מִיַּ֣ד נָבָ֗ל וְאֶת־עַבְדּוֹ֙ חָשַׂ֣ךְ מֵֽרָעָ֔ה וְאֵת֙ רָעַ֣ת נָבָ֔ל הֵשִׁ֥יב ה' בְּרֹאשׁ֑וֹ. and יִשְׂמַ֣ח צַ֭דִּיק כִּי־חָזָ֣ה נָקָ֑ם.

בנפול אויבך אל תשמח would be more appropriate. Emphasis on אויבך. Not everyone you hate is considered a רשע.

I'm not comparing Rush to Bin Laden, though he was far from a paragon of virtue.

Most people could not even give a coherent response as to why they hate him. They just knew RL is evil. And his contracts were the icing on the cake for the MSM. When he signed 8 year-400 million $$$ that ate them up alive.

Yup, Chabad.com trumps Dovid Hameleh & Shlomo Hamelech.

Something I realized over the years, there were times unfortunately that there were negative stories on אחינו בני ישראל & while the MSM felt the great need to vomit it all out again & again (including other right wing talk show hosts), Rush, to his great credit, largely ignored these stories. Quite a few times I dreaded what he'll say & let out a huge sigh of relief at 3:00.
And 99.999% of us will forever be grateful to him for that.

@PlatinumGuy I’m beginning to think we live in 2 different universes!

May I ask what’s wrong with being happy when those people die from AIDS?
It’s good to see reshayim getting punished in this world. It shows us that this world isn’t Hefker
( I even think I saw Reb Avigdor Miller say that, but I’m not positive)

So I assume you're happy Rush Limbaugh died, and especially with the same thing he is guilty of promoting.

If RL was celebrating was trashing gays for being immoral, that's one thing. IINM he trashed them for being subhuman, and that's deplorable.
