I could not agree more with Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley's assertion that we should not wish death on Rush Limbaugh.
I realize there are a lot of people out there who are sickened and disgusted by Rush Limbaugh’s seemingly lifelong campaign of hatred, bigotry, racial divisiveness and inflammatory partisan politics. It’s quite difficult for most of us to think of Rush Limbaugh and not, to a greater or lesser degree, think also of things many people believe he represents: hate, bigotry, classism, racism, sexism, homophobia and other negatives.
Wednesday, the far-right conservative talk show host had significant chest pains and was rushed to a hospital in Hawaii. As that news broke, many people had strong emotions. Some hoped for the worst as far as Limbaugh’s health is concerned. Limbaugh has said more than his fair share of hateful things over the years, but to wish death for him is simply too much.
I detest most everything about Rush Limbaugh (who now apparently is in “good, stable condition”), but would never wish death on him or anyone else.
