Call it wishful thinking, call it thinking wishfully; call it whatever you may: Wikipedia pronounced Limbaugh dead around 3 AM, (PT) on the site. Based on the fact that Wikipedia has very loose publishing standards and is at many times dominated by liberals,(some very virulent bomb throwing nutjobs), this comes as no surprise. Anyone that happened to look at Wikipedia's bio for Limbaugh caught this:
Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/;born January 12, 1951, died December 30, 2009) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States. It airs throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks.
Fortunately this error was removed from Wikipedia 15 minutes later.........
How about this death wish-list from Twitter that I sniped from Phlog?

demonbaby Come on 2009! There's time for one more!! RT @BreakingNews: Rush Limbaugh rushed to hospital in Honolulu after suffering chest pains.
BlackCanseco I wonder what Rush Limbaugh will think of healthcare reform come Monday. Hmmm...
WatchJ Rush Limbaugh is in the hospital with severe chest pains...God if u can read this tweet please give him a black doctor. Thanks
BigFatWhale I hope Rush Limbaugh isn't exaggerating his symptoms like Michael J Fox did.
billpalmer come on God, I don't ask you for much, and I very rarely ask you to smite anyone. but please kill Rush Limbaugh tonight.
djstangl Breaking news - Rush Limbaugh has a heart!
plan9production Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital. I told him Oxycontin and bacon cheeseburgers were a dangerous mix.
Ashley_Stephens So...if Rush Limbaugh dies in Hawaii, will his listeners believe the death certificate?
ItzTrizz617 so rush limbaugh did go to the same hawaiian hospital obama was born in #ironysabitch
guitarbassfire RT @JoeMyGod @JamesAkersJr: I hope Rush Limbaugh is saved by a black homosexual doctor with a questionable immigration status. #fb
Such tolerance and even a little racism on the part of the left today, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteObviously they are out of touch with the actual show. I guess when you put Keith Olbermann up on a pedastal, you will produce ignorance.
LCR - great post! Although there is power in positive thinking, idiot thinking usually remains ignored...unless you're talking mainstream media - heh. Wikipedia, while somewhat accurate in a lot of respects, represents the huge liberal dream of being able to revise history -- so they came up with the "encyclopedia 'anyone' can edit", as their model.
ReplyDeleteGiven that, you're gonna see some winners occasionally. Last I heard, Rush is "resting comfortably".
I heard that Wikipedia had pronounced Rush dead and I'm sure it was wishful thinking...especially after reading the Twitter remarks from those twits.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Rush's show today and he is getting tested today to diagnose the problem. Let's keep him in our prayers for a speedy recovery. We will need him in 2010 to fight the liberals every step of the way.
LCR - Have a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year.
And how much of this did we see from the right when Ted Kennedy was diagnosed and then died? My guess is, not much. I know I didn't see any hatred spewed on the blogs I follow in either case.
ReplyDelete@ BB - You will find a lot of that, especially on the net.
ReplyDelete@ RightWingLiberty - Great points! I do use Wikipedia but always VERIFY.
@ TCL - Same to you friend, Happy New Year!
@ Spinster - Ooh you are so right about that. I did see a little of that with Kennedy's death but 95% of conservatives didn't 'go there', I speak for myself too.
Our apologies - we do try to keep the rubbish out of biographies of living people, and this sort of prank is an example of why!
ReplyDeleteHopefully people will take it as an example of why Wikipedia is useful, but you have to keep your critical faculties about you and remember it's just written by people ... and check the references.
The New Year will bring the Left back to reality. Rush ain't going nowhere, and neither are any of us. The battle has just begun.
ReplyDelete@ David - That is ok, are you with Wikipedia? As you will notice, my Burn Notice post is linked 15 times to wikipedia, it is very useful!
ReplyDelete@ Nickie - Happy New Year friend, I am ready to fight, I really am.
Why would anyone expect leftist scum to bahave as anything other than the scum they are?
ReplyDeleteLeftists are crappy people. When crappy people begin to follow politics, they wind up on the left because that is where pieces of crap find comfort.
