Rush Limbaugh has died of cancer at the age of 70<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, he has done something to improve the world: <\/p>\n

Rush Limbaugh, who has died aged 70 after suffering from cancer, virtually created the style of political \u201cshock jock\u201d radio that made him so influential. His broadcasts, featuring attacks on opponents as purveyors of what we now call \u201cfake news\u201d, became the template for television\u2019s Fox News, and at its peak played a huge part in Newt Gingrich\u2019s \u201cRepublican Revolution\u201d of 1994, which recaptured the House of Representatives from Bill Clinton\u2019s Democrats.<\/p>\n

Limbaugh set the tone for the internet age of politics, calling women\u2019s rights activists \u201cfeminazis\u201d, referring to HIV\/Aids as \u201cRock Hudson\u2019s disease\u201d and claiming \u201cenvironmentalist wackos\u201d were \u201ca bunch of scientists organised around a political position\u201d.<\/p>\n

He argued that the existence of gorillas disproved evolution, characterised both the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (2010) and the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand (2019) as \u201cfalse flag\u201d operations organised by leftists, and accused the Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe of allowing the Charlottesville rioting in 2017 to worsen in order to boost his presidential ambitions. \u201cHave you ever noticed how composite sketches of criminals always look like [the black activist] Jesse Jackson?\u201d he asked his listeners.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether he was a vile person who was revealing himself, or just an actor playing a role does not mater.<\/p>\n

The man was a stain upon humanity.<\/p>\n

Spoiler: This incident from early in his career shows that he was just an asshole:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Limbaugh (pronounced \u201cLIM baw\u201d) was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, into a family of conservative judges that included his father, whose name was also Rush. His mother, Mildred (nee Armstrong), was the family clown, and encouraged \u201cRusty\u201d in his love of radio. He did poorly at school, then quit Southeast Missouri State University after a year and found a job with a radio station in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, as \u201cBachelor Jeff Christie\u201d, but was fired after he told a black caller he claimed to find difficult to understand to \u201ctake the bone out of your nose and call again\u201d. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
