To prove we're better than Rush, we'll shit on him in death. Definitely no irony there. But I'm glad so many of you are out there living that perfect life. Please shoot me some pointers.

I'm gonna steal this analogy from Reddit because the latter's rebuttal kinda sums up my position better than I can.

[quote=u/TheAdlerian]
I'm a psychotherapist and have been one for 31 years and a lot of my career was spent in the prison system.

I worked with a serial killer in PA and he was one of the last people to be executed in that state. I didn't really do much with him because he was in a Plexiglas cell and in the fetal position on his bed, all of the time. He was in what's called a catatonic state meaning his body is frozen from the bizarre mental and physical things happening.

One day, officers came and took him away to another prison to be injected with drugs and killed.

I thought that was extremely gross as he was obviously a severely mentally ill person who never had much of a chance in life to begin with. He did murder women in a horrible way but it was all strange and stupid with no point to it.

All of that led to me leaving the prison system.

Meanwhile, many people thought him laying in his cell, which smelled like someone took a shit on the worst type of cheese, was funny/interesting and killing him was a good idea. I looked at it like the state murdered him and I was part of it.

The point is that if you hate "evil" people to the point where you enjoy seeing them suffer, are glad they're dead, you have become evil.

In popular culture, this is a HUGE message in Star Wars. If you want to kill evil people and hate them, you will turn to the dark side.

In Lord of the Rings, Frodo says to Gandalf, why not just kill Gollum? Gandalf replies that you never know the value of someone and you can't assume that their dying is a good thing. Of course, Gollum turns out to be the most important person.

We should always look for the good in "evil" people and also try to understand what they think they are doing and why what they did was good in their eyes. If not, you are just supporting the "us vs them" attitude that creates extreme thinking and evil behaviors.

Response:

[quote=u/BPC3]
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the above post was probably inspired by a certain recent death which a lot of people are celebrating.

And I'd like to spend a moment to highlight some of the ways in which that may differ from this post.

The person in question did not spend his last days in a prison, in a catatonic state, or really in any significant suffering. The person in question was never incarcerated - in fact, he recently was awarded the highest government honor available to US citizens. He was a famous, wealthy, popular individual for his entire life. He legitimately helped shape the direction of the nation, in a way very few people throughout history have ever been able to.

And you know what?

He did that by being as hateful and nasty and dishonest as he possibly could. His words and actions hurt countless people, and he never saw any retribution or consequence for it, unless you want to call it a consequence that he spent a substantial amount of his career denying the link between smoking and lung cancer and eventually died of lung cancer.

So I flat-out reject this statement:

The point is that if you hate "evil" people to the point where you enjoy seeing them suffer, are glad they're dead, you have become evil.

I am not exactly glad that this person is dead. But I am extremely glad that they are no longer in a position where they can hurt anyone. And when it comes to the people he actively hurt, I'm not going to judge. I think it's a shame that what it took to stop him from being an evil piece of shit was death, but if that's what it took, well, good riddance, and frankly it'd be nice if it didn't take so long next time.

In popular culture, this is a HUGE message in Star Wars. If you want to kill evil people and hate them, you will turn to the dark side.

Counterpoint: jewish resistance fighers in World War II. Pretty sure most of them hated Hitler and wanted to kill him. Pretty sure this didn't make them evil people, or "turn to the dark side". It was just the best available option out of a lot of really shitty options.

Now you can call Rush an influential conservative who changed the game, because there's no doubt he was. But he also said a ton of hateful shit and built a career out of it. So yeah, no sympathy from me for him passing.

No sympathy is a big difference between the vitriol so far. I think in death, the golden rule is a good rule. If you don't have anything nice to say, not saying anything at all is OK. Not talking about you or anyone specifically, just in general.

Re: Media Bias
 

Interesting that some people think death absolves you from all criticism. Rush built an empire on being a shitty person and shitting on others at every turn. He dies and all of a sudden it's hands off, don't say anything bad about him? Yeah fuck that.

Not like Rush is a major talking point here. Seems like people are using his death as a reason to shit on him.

Interesting, that shitting on someone who just died, isn't ironic. But I guess as long as you self-assign yourself as better than the person you're criticizing, it's OK.

He began airing “Barack, the Magic Negro,” a racist parody song about then-Sen. Barack Obama’s popularity with many white voters, in 2007.
In John K. Wilson's book, The Most Dangerous Man in America: Rush Limbaugh's Assault on Reason, the host was quoted as saying this homophobic statement: "When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it's an invitation."
In his "Undeniable Truths," written as part of an article for the Sacramento Union in 1988, Limbaugh wrote, "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."
In a later updated version, he wrote:
"The Earth's eco-system is not fragile."
"Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud."
"The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters."
On The Rush Limbaugh Show in 2004, he said, "I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs."
As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a Black caller: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back,” according to Fair.
During The Rush Limbaugh Show in 2013, he said, "If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians. The white race has probably had fewer slaves and for a briefer period of time than any other in the history of the world."
During The Rush Limbaugh Show in 2017, regarding LGBTQ+ politicians being elected to office, he said, "I guarantee there'd be some people in the Republican establishment who will now think, yeah, we need to do this. We need to provide a home, we need to provide a comforting atmosphere for the tranny community and the gay community. But those people are voting Democrat anyway."

I'm not defending anyone. I have never listened to Rush. I didn't have any extra feeling one way or another when he died, any moreso than when any other person I didn't know personally or have any sort of connection to does. I just think that when someone dies, all the negative comments aren't needed. When we all die, we will have plenty of our own questions to answer, but I hope people don't immediately talk about all the bad things I did.

Re: Media Bias
 

Just a question, Why is an article about Trump and Melania getting the vaccine in January before they left the White House on the front of CNN? Funnier still is it is written by Jim Acosta who left the White House newsroom to go to chief domestic affairs correspondent. I guess that is another title for Trump Hound Dog.

In the article, the slant apparently is to condemn or show off the double standard of Trump taking a vaccine that. And that's fine as it goes, but when there is not one headline on CNN's page about Pres. Biden, and there are 2 about Trump, and one about a republican who shockingly voted against every cabinet appointee Biden put forth. It just seems odd that CNN doesn't focus more on all the great things Biden is doing. :rolleyes:

It's not surprising to me, even if Trump wasn't POTUS at the time as an obese old man with poor health habits he needs to be at the front of the line for the vaccine.

I would have something to say about CNN but I don't watch the news or check their site, so on behalf of all millenials I say "who cares." Do you really need an answer to your rhetorical question anyways? They make the decisions they do to sell clicks, which drives ad revenue, which keeps them in business. The world goes round.

Nah, you are right on both counts. Obviously Trump was going to get vaccinated, and no I didn't really need an answer - should have made it an observation not a question. It just amazed me that that article was on the prime landing page two days in a row, for an event that happened nearly 2 months ago.

Well no doubt people are gonna click it, because A. it's Trump, and B. a story about Trump declining to advocate for the vaccine while he has the power of POTUS and then quietly getting it behind closed doors is gonna get ate up by the libs.

I for one am thrilled he didn't endorse shit when he was POTUS and then waited till his first Trump rally at CPAC to endorse the vaccine. Way to fucking go.

Re: Media Bias
 

I honestly dont have a problem on the surface with people saying the China Flu or Wuhan Flu. By all known accounts ... it did originate from there.

My underlying problem is guys like Trump who seemed to coin it early on .. as if the nickname would absolve him from any responsibility and give the "America first" people a target to lay blame and direct anger.

Trumps MO was to try and nickname any incoming controversy so his herd would just repeat that and shut down any actual discussion or accountability.

Yeah it started in China and China sucks ... "shutting down flights from China bought you time .. but what did you do with that time to prepare?"

Re: Media Bias
 

Yeah when NBC news, cnn, John Acosta saying it early...it was fine.

Trump says it, bad. That’s really what it was about

This.

When Trump started calling it the China Virus, he did so to deflect blame from himself for his admin's response and to focus all the attention back to China for starting it. Which does exactly fuck all to stop the virus.

Gotta wonder how many other first world countries politicized mask-wearing and safety measures. Conservatives don't have a problem with mask-wearing when it's doctors and nurses in the OR though. But why would they wear masks if the masks don't do anything?

LOLOLOL.

Implying Tucker is just the flavor of the week because he doesn't have Trump to pick on anymore like Tucker didn't shit all over the entire US military a week ago for making clothes for pregnant women. He goes after the trending topic of the week and he switches it up every week. This is nothing new.

Re: Media Bias
 

I watch Fox News pretty regularly (I'd say about 2 times a week for Tucker and Shannon Bream), but I'd assume it's probably similar across CNN, etc. This is more of a grind the gears comment, but don't want to drag politics in there.

But I absolutely hate when shows have guests, and when they are giving a response you want to hear all of, the host cuts them off to go to commercials.

I get that commercials pay the bills, but either plan for less guests, or plan for the host talking less. Don't cut-off responses people want to hear.

More often than not, the guests actually share things you didn't know or speak about issues you are aware of in a different light.

It's just flat out rude. But TV time is valuable, so most of them just accept getting cut-off while responding.

Edit - Shannon Bream is at least 49 and definitely went to FSU for grad school. Thanks Wiki. She is even more hot now. Go Noles!

Andrew Sullivan is a great writer..I read this a couple days as well and he nails it.

It’s very predictable these...the media decides rather whether to push the story based on simply race narrative.

Another terrible story happened this week and the MSM chose to suppress this one based narrative criteria where 2 black teens set a disabled white man on fire which killed him in Rochester ny. The outlets who did report this conveniently left out the race of all individuals. If the races were reverse we would certainly see the hashtags, know the social media histories of both kids, etc.

Sullivan points out when the Emperor (ie president, media, senator etc) is wearing no clothes no matter what side of the political spectrum the Emperor happens to be on.
