I suppose it was expected after his long battle with cancer, but it still comes as a shock to see it in print. The articles in the legacy media are predictable. They HATED the guy only slightly less than they hated Trump. It is obvious by reading their press announcements that not a single one of them could be troubled to find even one writer who actually listened to Rush’s program. They simply reprinted their own lies, character assassination and inuendoes about him.
Something no one mentioned: Rush was at the top of a media empire that stretched out over decades and single handedly saved AM radio as a commercially viable entity. They were quickly becoming nothing but a playground for religious, foreign language and hobby radio stations.
I am very sorry to see Rush go. Even though there are hundreds of people following in his footsteps as conservative radio hosts, there are none even close to his ability or his impact on society. He was irreplaceable.
Rush was the first person to open my eyes about how global warming was just a scam. From there, I learned a healthy skepticism about everything. I learned from Rush that reporters and Journalists are, as a group, stupid, biased, lazy, arrogant and almost always wrong.
Mr. Limbaugh, go into your well-deserved rest.
Very well stated.
Global warming… Remember back in the early 80s when scientists discovered that there was a hole in the earth’s protective ozone layer that was surely causing global warming? They were certain of the cause as well… service techs and home owners intentionally and unintentionally releasing the Freon in household appliances like refrigerators and dehumidifiers along with home and automobile air conditioners into the air. And then the government got involved and banned the use of Freon and mandated that HVAC and automotive service techs buy and learn to properly use expensive equipment designed to recover the Freon from older mechanical devices that used it so that it didn’t go into the air, further depleting the earth’s safety shield. But it was eventually discovered that that wasn’t the problem. So the scientists and the government got together and decided that it was cars. And the emissions created with the use of fossil fuels, And, for good measure, cow flatulence… And cronies of the politicians and scientists go beau coup money from the government to create alternative forms of energy…
I talk too much.
RIP, Mr. Limbaugh. May God bless you and keep you.

I first listened in 1993 or so when I visited my aunt and uncle in Wisconsin. Was a devoted follower for years although eventually I got tired of his schtick (every radio host has one and they all have a shelf life) and stopped listening. I never forgot the lessons I learned from him though.
The amount of vitriol is a good indicator of how effective he was in pushing back against the left’s narrative. Flak/target reference here.
Best quote I’ve seen so far was “talent returned to God”.
RIP
