Rush Limbaugh, and The Myth of "Integrity"


Listen Later

Before Rush Limbaugh died, he stated that he had always been a man of  integrity. Integrity indeed. Perhaps he was, if you consider causing  hatred and division a virtuous goal to aspire to. Perhaps other shock  orators are virtuous as well. Hell, everyone seems morally upright these  days. Listening to the buffoonish media, one would have assumed that  Rush had apologized for being a bad boy all those years, the years that  ruined my life, the years that made it nearly impossible for me to get  work, even though I had worked a lot harder than Rush, or any shock news  peon. Perhaps we should thank those who paint us as criminals, and put  obstacles in our way, regardless of how much we suffer. Perhaps we  should forgive and forget, let bygones be bygones, focus on the present,  not the past. Perhaps we should be another species. Perhaps we should  repair our damage psyches and join a mystic cult, forever dreaming of  the mystical mysteries of mysticism. Perhaps we should believe in magic.  Perhaps we should dance in the forest, become one with nature, and  ascend into the heavens. Perhaps we should forget we are human, put on  animal costumes, and scurry away to neverland to forget our troubles  once and for all. Perhaps we should, but we won't. We will be here, in  the real world, and we will suffer through the fruit of Rush's labor.  And so, I am here to bring you the real Rush Limbaugh that the cowards  at the alphabet soup media companies were too afraid to in fear of a  ratings dip. Well, Rush kicked the can. It's over.No more rants about the dangerous blacks. No more sensationalized crap  news about women taking men's jobs. No more outlandish stories about the  president being a Muslim from another country. No more insinuating that  Jewish people have done...whatever he had said they'd done on that  particular day. Yes, Rush Limbaugh's legacy is an eventful one to say  the least. The man undoubtedly cause more hatred and derision in America  than any of the other various shock radio hosts. Rush did not report  the news, he invented it, turning competent media into a horror show of  stereotypes, pseudoscience, and gossip. He sat, perched upon his leather  podium, spewing out hate and stale tobacco smoke, like some kind of  cartoon character from the 1940s. He ruined everything he could. That  was his mission in life, to ruin the lives' of others, and he succeeded  in ways that dictators could only have fantasized about. Yet when this  man, if you can call him that, (I prefer coward) died, the political  nannies came out, wagging their fingers at those who would dare speak  ill of the dead. Well, I have nothing but terrible things to day about  this now dead coward. So what if this idiot is now rotting in the dirt?  How does that effect me in anyway other than knowing some of my tax  dollars went to put him in the dirt? I want my money back by the way. I  feel nothing for this hollow shell of a human other than contempt. Do  you think that because you die that excuses your actions in life? Do you  think that death absolves you somehow? Not in my world.Death is not justice, nor is it peace. The only benefit I get from that  yellow toothed cigar sucker kicking the bucket its that I don't have to  listen to his awful tirades about the poor being lazy drug addicts  anymore. But even that was only a temporary relief, only a facade that perhaps  this trash talking piece of garbage would not influence my life  anymore.But then the morons started talking, "be nice", "be moral",  "take the high road", "don't say anything bad". Well, I will say some bad things, a lot of bad things. When a person has nothing but bad things to say, that is what they get in return.
