Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh\u2026<\/p>\n
This is not new news. Rush Limbaugh died in February 2021 during my hiatus.<\/p>\n
Obviously, he was a racist, promoted racism, did his share to bring toxicity to the airwaves and to today\u2019s political discourse. So, there were a lot of reasons to hate him.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not a fan of pissing on the dead, but really, Rush Limbaugh did a lot of damage in the world. Among the awful things about him was the misinformation and lies he repeated about smoking.<\/p>\n Limbaugh was a heavy cigar smoker much of his life and not coincidentally died of lung cancer. He also spread the lie that not only did secondhand smoke not cause cancer, neither did smoking itself.<\/p>\n According to Snopes, this is a real quote from Rush Limbaugh:<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no conclusive proof that nicotine is addictive. And the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n I always suspected that Rush knew 90 percent of what he spouted was pure bullshit. But, he spouted it because he knew his audience loved it. Rush loved to light up a cigar for the cameras and blow cigar smoke into the lens as a clear \u201cFuck you\u201d to the libs.<\/p>\n Well, lung cancer had the last laugh. Lung cancer had the ultimate \u201cFuck you\u201d to Rush. There was no deathbed confession of his wrongs, no public statement of \u201cMy God, what have I done\u2026?\u201d Good for him. He\u2019s dead. And frankly, the world is a better place without him. I\u2019m not going to lie. And I\u2019m not going to play nice about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh\u2026 This is not new news.
