The Hate That Dare Not Speak Its Name

hate_speaks_name_56601.JPG

Conservatives are apoplectic about some of the vile, hate-filled comments generated online in response to the hospitalization of Rush Limbaugh. And rightly so, as a quick glance at Twitter reveals. But before the right-wing faithful rush to condemn "liberal hate," they would do well to look in the mirror first. After all, theirs is a movement that in recent months prayed for the deaths of President Obama and two Democratic Senators.

On this point, Rush Limbaugh himself can speak from personal experience. Before he admitted his Oxycontin addiction, Limbaugh reacted to the death of Jerry Garcia by calling the musician a "dirtbag" and "just another dead doper." This March, Limbaugh happily predicted the ailing Ted Kennedy would be dead before the health care reform he championed ever became law:

"Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill."

After Kennedy's death, Limbaugh gloated over his prescience, "I predicted it, and I caught all kinds of grief for it out there."

Not, of course, from the 70,000 Tea Baggers who descended on Washington in December. Many proudly carried signs proclaiming, "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy."

But Ted Kennedy wasn't the only target of right-wing death wishes this year. Just days after several Republican Senators joined the usual suspects among the religious right in a "prayercast" to plead to the Almighty for the defeat of health care, Oklahoma's Tom Coburn on the eve of the Senate health care vote declared:

"What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight."

In response, Limbaugh's online allies at places like Free Republic assumed Coburn was referring to the 92 year old West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd and dutifully followed the call.

Then there are the right-wing threats and conservative pleas which in ways subtle and not seek the death of the President of the United States.

Just one episode should suffice to tell the tale. With the buttons, bumper stickers and teddy bears displaying "Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8," Obama haters were turning to the Bible to "let his days be few; and let another take his office" and "let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow."

And so it goes. Before decrying some of the celebratory and disgusting remarks making the rounds about Rush Limbaugh, the conservative commentariat would do well to turn to another part of the Bible: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

In the meantime, in the words of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Wednesday, "All best wishes to Mr. Limbaugh tonight, for a full and speedy recovery."

to poor ol Rush but, what kind of pain medication was he taking and was it the ol standby, hillbilly heroin that he was addicted to?

Time to examine one's life and figure out what isn't working in order to change it. Hospital beds are ideal for this sort of thought process and exercise in self-awareness.

Rush is being given an opportunity to change here. If he doesn't embrace that, it will be done TO him. The Universe moves in mysterious, but decisive ways. Always.

I'm the same age and wrestling with the same questions.

Poor little right wingers.
Spew hate.
Call anyone who disagrees with you traitor etc.
Your VP tells a senator to fuck himself.
You have a senator basically praying for others to die.

And then of course your supposed religious leaders - Andrew Sullivan.
"God extends his grace to his people when he destroys the wicked, because in destroying the wicked, he is averting their evil works that so plague God's children and mankind in general. When he maims and kills cultists and theological liberals, he prevents the spread of heretical doctrine that damns souls...God's judgment -- not his favor -- leads the world to righteousness. We should petition God's judgment on the wicked because judgment is a form of grace."

So clutch your pearls all you want. I don't condone wishing someone to die, but I certainly wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire either.


The arrogance, that because you're offended by something, no one should be exposed to it is offensive.
Change the channel, don't go. But don't tell me how or what to think.

Shadowgm's picture

"Better angels of our nature" can be anagrammed to: anger best route out to funeral.

MaryK's picture

I know people who are addicted to anger. It's their favorite adrenaline rush. For some people, such as my ex-mother-in-law who calls herself a Prozac Queen, it's the ONLY way to actually feel an emotion of any kind. She loves to talk bad about the government-- not that she's wrong, it's just the only way she can have feelings to express. And then her eyes open wide, her breathing quickens, and she even stands up straighter. I see many teabaggers who remind me of her.

Anger, without a way to channel it, is indeed physically destructive.

I can't find it in my heart to wish Limbaugh well - and accept whatever that implies about my faith and/or liberal views - but neither do I wish him ill in regards to whatever health issues he is currently coping with.

Or maybe I should let fire with everything I've got and justify it as 'comedy.'

I was on a TP Limbaugh thread yesterday and there must have been a half dozen or more trolls on there egging people on.

While I do respect the opinions of the "better angels" and "high-roaders", I blame Rush most of all for the radicalization of the far-right. There may be worse, but I consider him the first.

I do not wish him well, he is my enemy and an obstacle to an enlightened America. I will celebrate his death and feel no shame for it.

I do not wish pain and suffering on even my worst enemy out of revenge. But I am not against pain and suffering for even my best friends. If that is what it takes for them to learn the lessons in life that need be learned. That is how my best education has happened. Blessed are those that can learn vicariously.

Rascalcat's picture

ysbaddaden's picture

Actually Karma is a much more complex concept that one might liken to a package we all carry around with us containing of both boon and bane from previous incarnations, and new lessons to be faced as we go through our next ones.

I remember I once shocked some reincarnationists by suggesting that the easier more comfortable life is not a reward for a well-lived past life, but rather for those who could not, and it was a rest period before they'll be required to take it over again.

The more painful incarnations are to test the mettle of those who did well in past lives, because only they have the wherewithal.

This man has done more for humanity than Jesus and now he's dying! Pass the Kleenex....

Thank God he's wealthy enough to have health care. He has broken his back in physical labor to bring us his wisdom every day and has earned every penny he has made, and that NECESSARILY makes him better than us, the unwashed. In fact, I'm going to send him a check in case his insurance doesn't want to pay for all of his bills. He is so much more important than all the poor people I know. Seriously, ALL of them.

It kinda surprised me, that everyone has not wished Rush a speedy recovery except me and Rachel. Rush is the ONLY venue of truth, and whatever jokes he makes about Democrats dying are simply jokes, why do you all take them so seriously? It's not like the death of Obama or Byrd would affect the country as it would if St. Rush left this mortal coil.

Rush Limbaugh is a beacon of goodness and truth. He is wealthy, and therefore valuable. When HE gets sick it is serious, and the rest of us should be grateful to pray for his recovery. This country is out to get all of us white male landowners, and Rush is our prime defense. Long live the whale.

Rush Limbaugh rushed to hospital with chest pains. What a shame.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

He's got enough money for medical care.
Unlike a LOT of other people.

He's got enough money to buy judges, politicians, and a number of ex-spouses...

The one thing he can't buy off is the fact that inevitably he (like all the rest of us)is going to take a dirt nap.

just sayin...

(oops...just not PC enough, eh....?)

It must be terrible for Rush to be hospitalized in a foreign country.

Ain't Karma a BITCH.

I couldn't care less what happens to Limpballs one way or the other.

The fact that he has publicly scorned, ridiculed and otherwise insulted hundreds of others because of their personal problems or health concerns ( MJ Fox comes to mind), gives me hope that he will now reap what he has sown.

Karma's a bitch.

one of the worst, yet highly probable outcomes is that if he recovers and gets back on the air he will have an assload of ammunition to pontificate on how the health care system works so wonderfully in his America.

And of course he will see the future and paint a picture of how he would have been unable to receive the level of care necessary if it was given in a more socialized system.

Pure propaganda coming soon.

and comes out extolling the virtues of an all Spam diet to his listeners.

you pay cash. Like I did in Hawaii. Break out the piggy bank, the savings . . pay cash . .

if the 'elephant' sat right down on his face...

or if he was anally impaled by a raging bull in Pamplona.

Somebody stop me, I could go on all day.

...that will inevitably surface once Rush croaks?

He has no progeny. He would have actually had to fuck one of his four wives in order to make that possible.

can't give birth either.

Hospital technicians claim Flush didn't have any kind of heart attack. "Limbaugh suffered a hemorrhoid attack", but because he couldn't build any sympathy for the truth the fat ass drug addict had to play it out as if he was "in serious condition". Oh yeah, serious, for a perfectly timed "hemorrhoid attack". Seriously, this guy is just a pain in the ass. Who can feel sorry for that? The guy is a liar and a fake.

I've never found pure hatred to be productive. In Rush's case he's so far out in his own world that he's sort of immune to it.He does enough harm to himself as time goes on that there's no need for piling on. And hating takes its toll on the hater. Getting all wound up about Rush will burn you up from the inside out. Let Rush do himself in, on his own time. Don't drag yourself down to his level. He has enough self-hating for three people, let's just sit back and watch it happen. You'll feel better in the long run. Let him be a fool. Only the foolish are fooled.

LOL you just gave away your true feelings.

For Rush to fully recover he needs to refill his Viagra scrip and have a week long PedoParty in the Dominican Republic. He can also refill his Oxycontin bottles without a scrip.

I wouldn't have wished John Wilkes Booth, Hitler, J. Edgar Hoover, George Wallace, etc. well either.

But I'm just fucked up like that.

Being a criminal lawyer I know some people who are hopelessly evil.

Kindness to freaks like Rush is similar to petting a poisonous snake.
