Why Are We Honoring A Bigot?

Rush Limbaugh doesn't deserve honor. He may be a part of American culture but certainly not a hero or pioneer of progress.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL!

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

Florida's governor Ron DeSantis and Missouri Republicans want to make sure that old fart Rush Limbaugh's legacy is honored. It's bad enough that former president Donald J. Trump gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, now American politicians on the far-right want to honor a man who devoted his life to dividing our country with bullshit.

Charles Coughlin and Joseph McCarthy don't get holidays. Hell, Richard Nixon doesn't get that much respect.

Oh, I forgot it's still Black History Month. I guess we'll call this Rush Limbaugh Month because the far-right wants to give him a day in our American history. 

Why on earth would we spent more time honoring a man who didn't seem to give a fuck about people's feelings?

A man who pandered in bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, conspiracy theories and junk science shouldn't be honored as an American patriot. 

Those who filmed the brutal abuse of George Floyd, Rodney King, Philando Castile, Rayshard Brooks, Alton Sterling and Eric Garner deserve the honor. 

The Republicans refused to honor Elijah Cummings, John McCain and John Lewis. McCain was their 2008 Republican nominee. He and his widow Cindy McCain won't get the respect because they criticized Trump. It took almost two days before Trump even considered lowering the flag for McCain.

Limbaugh's supporters are mad that President Joe Biden won't lower the flags.

Why should we lower the flags for a citizen who did nothing for the betterment of America?

So he spoke on radio, made appearances on television, wrote books, donated a little bit to charitable causes, even made an ice tea ... who fucking cares? 

The Republicans honors a bigot. 

The amount of negative vibes outweighs the positive things this old fart did in his miserable 70 years.

He built his fortune on division. I am grateful that iHeartRadio, Inc and Premiere Radio is struggling now that Limbaugh is out of the picture. They know that Sean "Screwball" Hannity is too freaking annoying and repetitive. Folks would tune him out the moment he mentions Hillary Clinton.

Old fart Bill Cunningham is up there too. He may not last another five years. He's the far-right agitator from Cincinnati that hosts a local afternoon spot and Sundays on national radio.

Glenn Beck is too toxic for the afternoons. He's losing money with Blaze Media. Beck and Mark Levin are not up to the challenge of middays. I mean Levin is on Cumulus Radio and he's doesn't have the chops to be in the noon spot.

So who I believe could take over the Limbaugh spot to become the next bigot in talk....

Former president Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States is a former reality television agitator, game show host, actor and real estate mogul. He could take over the radio spot and continue to be a fucking troll on the public airwaves. The callers could call him Mr. President and he could interview his family, prominent Republicans supportive of him and even tease the rumored 2024 presidential run.

Former vice president Mike Pence, the 48th Vice President of the United States is a former talk radio host, former U.S. Representative and former Indiana governor. Pence was one of the afternoon talker back in the 1980s. Pence who has ties to Dayton, Ohio as a former radio talker could be the next Limbaugh and he could help bring the rift between him and Trump to an end if he takes the spot and interviews the former president.

Candace Owens, the Black far-right grifter has a podcast operating out of Prager University. The woman just celebrated being a first time mother. She is still an active member of the alt-lite. She has been considering a bigger role outside of the podcasts. She started the Blexit movement to encourage Blacks to ditch the Democratic Party. She could be the first African American woman to have a national audience.

Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and two time Republican candidate for president took over the afternoon spot after Bill O'Reilly left the talk radio circuit. Huckabee who was competing with Limbaugh couldn't muster enough listeners. Now that Limbaugh is out of the picture, could the former Arkansas governor make a comeback? His daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders is officially running for governor of Arkansas. She want to set the tone of a political dynasty.

Missouri Republicans already have a bust of him at the state capitol in Jefferson City. It was controversial move especially given that at the peak of his unveiling he was attacking Sandra Fluke and Michelle Obama.

Missouri wants to honor him with a holiday on his birthday. In late January, Limbaugh celebrated his birthday before his passing. He was already in hospice by the time he turned 70.

Limbaugh died on Wednesday. His widow, Kathryn Rogers has not confirmed a date for his funeral but it's expected to be a large gathering with Screwball Hannity, Mark Levin, Neal Boortz and others speaking on his legacy and impact to conservatism.
