Octopus Overlords

Washington’s name was struck because he held slaves, Lincoln’s because of his policies toward Native Americans. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s name will be removed from a school, owing to the decision, when she was San Francisco’s mayor, in the nineteen-eighties, to replace a Confederate flag that was part of a Civic Center display and had been taken down by a protester. (A spokesperson for Feinstein said that the city’s parks department replaced the flag “on its own accord.” She later had it replaced with a Union flag.) Some of the committee’s recommendations have received more criticism than others: Paul Revere Elementary School will be renamed because of his role in the Penobscot Expedition of 1779, an assault on a British fort that the committee claimed, incorrectly, was intended to colonize the Penobscot people.

In the end, people are responsible for their own actions, lemmings are not.

Just like the one guy in the Lincoln Project. Although their leaders actually did speak out against him. So I'm not sure why you tried to associate his actions with the entire Lincoln Project by calling out it in your post instead of the one man who did those horrible things.

Because we all know when one person does something bad, it reflects on all those around him who may have supported him at one point in time......

It does if they don’t call him out on it, yes. Thanks for the addendum. I had forgot to mention that. In light of the last four years, it’s an important and damning addendum.

Rush Limbaugh was a terrible human being in life, and I refuse to abide by the convention that his death absolves him from criticism for his legacy of bigotry.

You already did, though.

When someone makes a career out of hate, it's not going to be a shock when people wave goodbye at the end.

He was just as bad back then.

I won't celebrate his death but the world is a better place without him in it.

Don't you speak falsely of Jamaica. He was busted smuggling Viagra from the Dominican Republic.

On second thought, high income frequently does not equate to high taxes paid... maybe not such a great loss.

Just Wow! Your hypocrisy is stunning. If a famous person from the left died and some of us posted attack trash like this, you'd be outraged. I can hear it now, "He hasn't even been dead for 1 day and you're attacking him! Have you no shame? Can't you keep your politics out of it? Let his family at least bury him first, etc., etc., etc."

It was recommended to me in another thread that I should stop listening to certain media outlets that support conservative thinking. I'm going to suggest that all of you need to stop listening to the garbage spewed by the main stream media and actually consider listening to the other side too!

I don't agree with everything Rush ever said. That is true of any conservative host or politician. He had his (sometimes major) flaws. He was not a perfect person. But, I guess many of you must be based on your personal attacks on him.

Here's what I wrote on another site as a proper RIP notice.

"Rush died yesterday.

He'd been fighting lung cancer for awhile now. The statement that his wife gave at the beginning of his show was excellent. I don't know how she kept from crying.

I heard him referred to yesterday as the Babe Ruth of broadcasting. I couldn't agree more. He was the greatest broadcaster of all time, like Ruth, he changed forever the way the game was played.

He made no bones about being a biased speaker for the conservative cause. He was not ashamed to be so.

He will be sorely missed."
