[su_right_ad]I didn’t now that depression was a liberal disease, or had anything to do with one’s political beliefs. But I did know that crass people will use anything to advance a political agenda, or maybe just to create outrage.

Limbaugh began by discussing the left’s “worldview” as one of “pessimism and darkness” before turning more specifically to the news about Williams’ suicide. He quoted liberally from a Fox 411 story by Hollie McKay that cites various “insiders” who say Williams’ depression stemmed from the cancellation of his recent CBS sitcom The Crazy Ones among other creative disappointments.

In addition, another source said Williams suffered from “survivor’s guilt” after losing friends like Christopher Reeve, Andy Kaufman and John Belushi. (For the record, in his groundbreaking 2010 interview with Marc Maron, Williams said he admired Kaufman but only spoke to the comedian once when he wasn’t in character.)

“He had it all, but he had nothing,” Limbaugh opined. “He made everyone else laugh, but was miserable inside.”

“It fits a certain picture, or a certain image that the left has,” he continued. “Low expectations and general unhappiness and so forth.” On the issue of “survivor’s guilt,” Limbaugh said, “That is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country.”

When does a person lose his or her soul in the commission of trying to keep an audience? The answer is above.

    The title suggests Limbaugh has a soul. I’m confused.

    • mea_mark August 12th, 2014 at 5:30 pm

      Well, it is not entirely his, he does have to share it with Satan, at least until he is dead, than it is all Satan’s.

    • Eric Trommater August 12th, 2014 at 5:33 pm

      Actually he has several. He sucks them out of his listeners on a daily basis.

    Just when you think Limpdick can’t stoop any lower, by golly, he finds a way.

    This asshole only survives living life in spite of himself through the conservative delusion borne through a complete lack of empathy. This asshole is a bloated walking social cancer.

      I believe you owe bloated walking social cancers an apology.

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:35 pm

      I think he is a pus filled pedophile who should be castrated and fed to the crows.

  4. tiredoftea August 12th, 2014 at 5:20 pm

    A whole 24 hours before he bloviated about this. I really admire his restraint!

    One thing, though, Rushie; “I have it all, but I have nothing,” Limbaugh opined. “I cannot make anyone else laugh, and I’m miserable inside.” FTFY!

    • Eric Trommater August 12th, 2014 at 5:40 pm

      The Mark Mayfield story is a tragic one. I have some mutual friends with him and the story that is coming together of how his fellow RWNJ’s took advantage of a man who was obviously losing his mind over the last year of his life is a despicable episode in the history of politics. Someone very close is working on the story now and when it breaks in the media their will be Hell to pay for the Breitbart people and the McDaniels campaign. They are truly disgusting people.

  6. Shades August 12th, 2014 at 5:27 pm

    He’s just jealous of all the grief and condolences expressed for Mr. Williams. When Limbaugh dies, people will be throwing parties.

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:34 pm

      When Limpballs dies, little boys being used as male prostitutes in the Dominican Republic will breathe a sigh of relief. Although his drug connection might be a bit depressed to lose his best customer.

        Thank you William for providing another excellent example why nobody should ever bring themselves down by viewing GOP TV. Most agree! As their violent programming continues to tank down 1/3 to 22% May to May:)

        • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:33 pm

          years ago, because every show had an obligatory obviously gay couple as
          part of the show. It got tiresome, and rendered the show quite

      and exactly what “higher human feeling” should we be expressing about the miserable excuse for a human being known as Rush Limbaugh.

      please enlighten us as to what we should say about someone who demonstrates not a shred of fundamental human decency.

    • Obewon August 12th, 2014 at 6:48 pm

      Rusty’s “survivor’s guilt” is based upon ignorantly opposing stem cell research healing many today that could have benefited many babies, children, veterans and Christopher Reeve.

    • jasperjava August 12th, 2014 at 6:54 pm

      Rush Limbaugh is a miserable excuse for a human being, and so are you for defending him. That’s just about the “higher human feeling” that vicious and vile people deserve.

    • Anomaly 100 August 12th, 2014 at 7:05 pm

      Right. Because commenters have a viewing audience like Rush does. Oh wait…

      That’s right. Commenters are commenters and not reporting opinionated news for millions of dollars.

      • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:32 pm

        psssst … Rush doesn’t report news. He makes it up.

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:31 pm

      So what – we are blog posters and we are expressing our opinion. Rush is a drug addled pedophile who depends on Viagra and little boys – it is my personal opinion that he should be institutionalized because he could become dangerous.
      Then again, as long as he is only dangerous to himself, I don’t care.

    • John David Peer August 12th, 2014 at 7:35 pm

    • arc99 August 12th, 2014 at 6:05 pm

      Yet Limbaugh is catered to at the highest echelons of the Republican party. Until this a$$hole is unequivocally disowned by mainstream conservatives and Republicans, his comments will be seen as what conservatives and the GOP actually stand for.

      As long as the GOP elite finds it necessary to apologize to Limbaugh, he is in fact, the face and voice of conservatism in this country, whether you like it or not.

      http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/02/rnc-chairman-apologizes-to-limbaugh-in-flap-over-his-role/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

      The new chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, apologized to Rush Limbaugh on Monday after describing him in a television interview over the weekend as an “entertainer” who made incendiary and sometimes ugly remarks, party officials said.

        It seems to me that it would be best to keep him on the airwaves, to get the progressives/liberals out there to vote..

        • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:28 pm

          You’d think so – on the other hand, we vote because we consider it our public duty not because some demented drug addicted gasbag pukes all over Robin Williams death because he is jealous of Williams popularity.
          What I don’t understand is how people can listen to his hate filled venom daily? It must do something toxic to brain cells.

          • Tommy6860 August 12th, 2014 at 7:36 pm

            But he helps our cause. I can tell you this, liberal voters tend to not vote in the midterms, where RWNJ will vote even in primaries. It’s a nasty fault the libs have and it is sad.

          • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:39 pm

            true but I’d like to believe that something might motivate a voter more than Rush and his vile spew of liquid GOP offal. It’s pretty obvious that his bariatric surgery has failed – can you just imagine the sight when he finally explodes? It’s worth waiting for …

          • Tommy6860 August 12th, 2014 at 7:44 pm

            I’d like to know what that motivation is? This guy spews the GOP line on anti-women, racist views and yet libs falter a the mid-term elections. It is because of this kind of language that I do vote and it is driven by politics that operate on the likes of Rush’s whims. I’m not saying that his type of hate and media attention is what we need, but it is something that makes me mad enough to vote adding to the fact we have the wingers running our government. If he were not a motivation, then what is it that doesn’t get the left motivated?

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:26 pm

      Has anyone checked to make sure he IS in the human gene pool?

  12. Obewon August 12th, 2014 at 6:26 pm

    Limbaugh is projecting his own failures onto others ‘he made everybody laugh but he had nothing’-Rusty the racist on his own hillbilly humor that lacks any quality.

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:25 pm

      If he means that Williams didn’t have the experience of stuffing oxycodone down his jock strap when he was traveling to the Dominican Republic to participate in pedophile tours to visit little boys, he’s got that right. The fact that he had to use Viagra to express his pedophilia makes Rush even more pathetic.
      Disgusting … and jealous. So jealous that he oozes.

      • Candide Thirtythree August 13th, 2014 at 3:35 am

        That was Viagra Rush was smuggling to the child rape capital. Just saying.

  13. BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:23 pm

    The giant pus filled pedophiliac boil that is RushBo is looking in a mirror and WISHING that in his wildest dreams, he could ever be as classy, and as popular as Robin Williams was. Knowing and realizing that when he dies, not only will no one notice, no one will care. There will be just one less piece of drug addicted human garbage on the planet.

  14. labman57 August 12th, 2014 at 7:37 pm

    Yeah, cuz Lord knows conservatives never suffer from clinical depression, and none have ever committed suicide.

    Rush “to judgment” Limbaugh needs to do a better job of regulating the flow into and out of his “pie hole”. Whenever he opens his mouth, either mass quantities of apple pie are crammed in, or mass quantities of cow pie spew out.

    This is what happens when you see the world through sh*t-colored glasses, an affliction facing Rush since he spends so much time with his head up his ass.

    • BanditBasheert August 12th, 2014 at 7:41 pm

      This happens when you live on drugs – and when he spends his entire life trying to top the spew of hatred that comes out of his mouth when he takes it out of his ass.
      On the other hand, he is easy to ignore – just don’t listen to him.

  15. Bunya August 12th, 2014 at 8:11 pm

    Ah yes. Rush “women are whores” Limbaugh is blessing us with some of his infinite “words of wisdom”. And of course his vast knowledge of the political left makes him more than qualified to lecture us on everything liberal. Sorry Rush, you’re nothing but a waste of human(?) DNA. But hey, nice try steering conversation on the death of an outstanding human being into a platform for you to spew your political bullshit. May you receive the same when you die. And please, when you do, take Dick Cheney with you.

    One might ponder. Rush Limbaugh is a chicken hawk who avoided military service via a letter from Daddy’s country club doctor, and an ass pimple. Robin Williams is universally revered and a veteran of 6 USO overseas tours.

  23. Pundit456 August 13th, 2014 at 4:32 am

    Distortion, exploration, mischaracterization; some of the same tools Alan Colmes employs. Also, like Limbaugh; more than changing people’s points of view; Colmes needs to attract listeners, visitors to his website and patronage for his sponsors.
    The only difference between the two is their target audience; they “both preach to the choir”. They both appeal to myopic, though diametric, demographics and exploit the inherent weakness of prejudice and bias.
    Neither Limbaugh nor Colmes persuades anyone to their view. they just attract more fringe dwellers by giving them a forum in which they can showcase their ignorance. Like the time Limbaugh claimed that, out of ignorance, he had inadvertently allowed a comparison of Obama to Curious George to air. Limbaugh does not make mistakes like that. No doubt he heard the comment, was amused and decided to treat his listeners presuming plausible deniability.
    Every time Colmes disparages or denigrates Christians or Republicans who speak out about morality he is appealing to his deviant base.
    Limbaugh and Colmes; two sides of the same coin.

      How does Alan disparage Christians? I happen to be one of those Christian thingies, and he’s never disparaged me in any way whatsoever. He has disparaged *actual* Christians but extreme right wing Christians are pretty much mocked throughout the Internet. You know, the ones praying for Obama to die, etc….

  24. OldLefty August 13th, 2014 at 8:22 am

    It has gotten to the point where these guys are saying any stupid, outrageous and offensive thing just to top the last stupid, outrageous and offensive thing the last guy said just for click bait.

    I don’t even know what he said, but does anybody ever bother reading past, “Limbaugh (insert any other name here) said….”?

  25. johnhay August 13th, 2014 at 12:05 pm

    Funny, Alan. When you were taken out of context and lied about during the soldiers letter, Rush defend you, on air, on that TV show you used to have. Now the same jackals take him completely out of context, and you join right in. Sad. No wonder your radio show got canceled, you had to fire everyone, and you’re only on TV as a pundit. You used to have some integrity.

    Here’s what Rush said to you at the time, when you were desperate for a lifeline:

    ALAN COLMES: Hey, Rush, it’s Alan Colmes. Thanks for doing our show. I
    joked the other night that I was going to buy it and put it back on
    eBay, and take that money and give it to the ACLU. Some people got upset
    about that. But thanks for doing our show. We really appreciate it.

    RUSH: You bet. Well, Alan, you know that I admire you and like you. I think
    the reason people got upset about that is because they misunderstood.
    They thought that you were going to take the money away from the Marine Corps and give it to the ACLU. (laughing) … Alan, you have a radio show, and I have a radio show. You have a website. I have a website. All you have to do is turn on the radio to
    listen to each of us, or go to our websites. The Drive-By Media does not
    listen to my show, does not go to my website. They take for granted
    whatever Media Matters says about what I said is true.

      I never listened to Colmes on his radio show after I heard some of his crap while driving home late at night. Thought the show sucked, but didn’t know that he had been taken off the air, like so many other Liberal losers; To name a few; Franken and Madcow. I occassionally read the crap he calls “news” on Liberalland just to see what nonsense he is peddling. He brings his special brand of annoyance to Fox’s OReilly show on an infrequent basis, which is still too often for my taste. You only lose your radio show when nobody is tuning in.
