I think that's it.

As my coworker said "well, he did have a family so it's too bad for them"

**Zacha341** · February-17-21, 02:07 PM

It's my understanding [[I didn't listen to his show) that he'd not broadcast for a few weeks. Two radio/media giants gone in a month [[King, Limbaugh).

Putting Larry King and this beast in the same thought should be criminal.

**Zacha341** · February-17-21, 04:08 PM

So much 'thought' is becoming criminalized - with the goal post of what determines that constantly in motion. These two did indeed represent polar opposites - and yet all things come to an end.

I haven’t noticed a single thought that has been criminalized???

There's this thing called "cancel culture" which gets people fired or not hired for characterizations of things they might have said or did that don't fit the left wing/corporatist narrative when they were teenagers. Every totalitarian society has it and fashions it to their own needs.

Cancel culture [[or call-out culture) is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – either online on social media, in the real world, or both Cancel culture - Wikipedia

That is not "thought"; it's action.

Following tRump's praise of him this morning, he continued with this non-sense....

"Well Rush thought we won, and so do I by the way, I think we won substantially, and Rush thought we won and he thought it was over at 10:00, 10:30, it was over. And a lot of other people feel that way too, but Rush felt that way strongly. And many people do, many professionals do," Mr Trump said. "And I don't think that could have happened to a Democrat, you would of had riots going all over the place if that happened to a Democrat, we don't have the same support at certain levels of the Republican system, but we have great people as Republicans."

**jcole** · February-17-21, 07:55 PM

Of course, even though it was Limbaugh that died, it was all about Trump. I wish he'd give someone the chance to eulogize him.

Sooner rather than later please

'God' cancelled Rush.

**oladub** · February-18-21, 07:21 PM

Oh, thank you jcole for letting us have thoughts as long as we don't express them or put them into action. I knew democrats had a benevolent streak.

**jcole** · February-18-21, 07:37 PM

I said nothing that wasn't true. Doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat or Independent. Thoughts are no longer just thoughts once they are put into action, or even written out, which in itself is an action. I never said not to express them, but if you do, there are always possible consequences
That said, I'm not a fan of cancel culture myself. When it comes to someone doing something stupid 10 yrs ago, atoning for it and still being taken to task for it, it's ridiculous. There are things people should be taken to task on, like doing the same thing over and over with no remorse or just giving lip service that you're sorry.
And let's not play the game that ONLY the Democrats play the blame game. What about Trump's followers wanting to boycott Bed, Bath and Beyond because of Pillowman? How about the Dixie Chicks being shunned for a song? Or Starbuck's for not putting Merry Christmas on their cups. Two can play these games and normally do.

^ that falls under, for every action there is reaction.

Or giving somebody a taste of their own medicine.

Or two can play that game like you say.

When did the right go running around tearing down statutes or anything else that offended them,link please?

Lots of documented cancel programs that were implemented by the leftists that ended up turning out to be fake or a hoax.

It’s like a party of convoluted logic,kneejerk reactions that create unintended consequences.

If you guys had not started it in the first place,then the right would not have had to show you that,yes you can even be canceled out.

Granted some of the crazy stuff you guys come up with is okay,I kinda like as a man being able to use the women’s rest room,sorry about not lifting the seat last time,but maybe you guys could be offended and force them to put urinials in the women’s room.

Looks as though the same people outraged by a nazi flag in a window [[as they should be) also suffer from a serious condition called Schadenfreude.

Did Kara Swisher say it best?

"You perhaps should not say you are happy when someone dies, but you certainly can say you were appalled by their life."
https://twitter.com/karaswisher/stat...46589063057413

Four years ago she also said "Rush is a bag of rage flesh."

Bette Davis said it best:
"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”

Oh that is funny....

Bette and Joan used to torment each other on their last movie together... "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane".

CNN canceled Jeffrey Toobin for indecent exposure which was an inadvertent action with zero thought on Toobin's part. And those who haven't already canceled Woody Allen may be inclined to do so after seeing the HBO special. I choose to not patronize Mel Gibson and many other celebrities of whose actions I disapprove; someone else may choose not to patronize Sean Penn.

Cancel culture is nothing more than an ever-expanding set of economic choices made by free people in an open society mostly having to do with celebrities and public figures.

What's the alternative? In North Korea people are obliged to smile, cheer, applaud, etc., for Kim Jong Un; and those who fail to do so are canceled with extreme prejudice. Does anyone wish to live in that society?
