I dislike “pearly gates” cartoons, anyway. But this one with Rush Limbaugh turns my stomach. Whatever talent he had was misused in the service of bigotry and lies. It would be appropriate to show him at the red-hot gates of Dis, standing naked before a grinning Beelzebub!
“All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.” — Clarence Darrow
I think these are all in reference to the New Testament teaching where the master loans talents (money) to three servants. Two do good works and increase theirs and are rewarded.The third buries his and only returns the original talent and is punished.Some commentators say the ‘’talent’ is also natural talent or ability. But Limbaugh only returned the one talent, not increasing it by doing good works.This parable is found in Matthew and Luke, Christian New Testament.
What talent did god give rush? Lying, good at that. Being a racist, good at that. Cheating on his wives, good at that. Drug addiction, good at that. Mocking people with diseases, good at that. Mocking the looks of children, good at that.
You christians have one messed up god. Gary is one of those “good” christians. He worships serial adulteress lying racists like rush and trump.
i used to listen to rush here in japan on armed forces radio in the old days, just for a laugh, because i thought nobody could be such a bigoted moron for real, and i’d wonder why a branch of the military was giving a forum to this rightwing nutjob…
Fascinating that the take of Varvel and Michael Ramirez is that God is quite proud of Rush, whereas Chip Bok had Rush looking nervous as God’s hand reached down for payback for Rush wasting his talents (not using them to do good). Perspectives can be fascinating.
Rush led the charge down the rabbit hole for too many of today’s alt-righteous. He primed the pump for years with his distortions and hate. Many of his disciples still don’t realize the damage he did to them, for his own profit.
An example: we had a good electronics bench tech who was highly productive… until lunchtime, when he would listen to Rush’s broadcast. It would agitate him, and he felt the need to lecture everybody else about whatever Rush’s issue of the day was. He interrupted everybody else’s work, while not doing any work of his own. Managers warned him to cut it out, but that only infuriated him. He lashed out, and got fired. He decided to open his own one-man shop, and I tried to use it, but found that he would rather debate than fix stuff. Last I heard he was trying to support himself by selling stuff on ebay…
When a person’s agenda is to purposely divide a Nation and denigrate a segment of that Nation solely to enrich themselves, then they are not a patriot nor will they be missed except by those they fooled. That was Limbaugh.
No Gary, I think he will be saying “depart from me, I never knew you” They’ve been running “worst of Limbaugh” reels, and it is remarkable how unkind and straight-up rotten this guy WAS. Happy to type WAS!!
This just proves how much people like Varvel hate our democracy. Limbaugh did his best to destroy it. If there is a heaven, he’s getting nowhere close to it.
Okay. The second Biggest Liar in our lifetime, and Gary thinks it was a gift from God. This is a new low, even for you Mr. Vavel. The only way you could do worse is by having the same cartoon when Trump goes.
There is no mistaking it, the left painted the man with the brush of being a villain and they willingly followed their shepherd in casting the man as someone who is evil.
