Rush Limbaugh, a man who trafficked in bigotry\u2014a man who reveled in hate and the dehumanization of LGBTQI people, women, the disabled, and Black and Latino\/a people\u2014is dead. Any thinking worker will not waste a moment of time mourning for the life of this reactionary degenerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limbaugh broadcast a continuous stream of racist, sexist and homophobic invective for decades\u2014contributing to the grotesque growth of rightist hate. Limbaugh would read the names of people who died of AIDS while setting off air horn noses in celebration. He once told a Black caller to\u00a0\u201ctake that bone out of your nose and call me back.\u201d He wrote that \u201cfeminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.\u201d During the Rwandan genocide he joked about the slaughter of the Tutsi minority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mainstream media will try to soften the grotesque record of this bigot by calling him controversial, a provocateur, a firebrand, or a \u201cconservative radio titan.\u201d Why? Because Limbaugh\u2019s hate and bile served to reinforce the white supremacist, homophobic, and sexist status quo. Of course, right-wing media will laud his \u201cgreatness\u201d and the Trump family will heap praise on him because he tapped into the same reservoir of hate and loathing that energizes a section of Trump’s base. Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a vomit-inducing display last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, sleep well tonight knowing that Limbaugh\u2019s voice is stilled but know that others will take his place as propagandists for hate. If you are going to mourn, do so for the victims of the system that Limbaugh extolled and elevated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
