nutshell.

He was an intentional liar, he was self-serving, he was judgmental, a hypocrite, and will not leave any legacy of good deeds.

It's taken me years to shed the poison constant listening to him as a kid and teen did to my view on the world. I even brought his messages here in my early days on the board and got smacked down by you fine folks :)

You can either celebrate someone's life or celebrate their death. I'm going to celebrate this death because the world became better by losing him.

I largely blame him for Trump. Good riddance. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 10:31
Sometimes the best that can be said of someone after their death is "good riddance". -- nm - TWuG Feb 17, 10:29
I don't celebrate anyone's death an I pray that he had remorse toward the end for any bad things he did. - ty97 Feb 17, 10:25 1
- remorse has no value without change. a deathbed "whoopsie" does not in any way change his terrible life. - colin Feb 17, 10:31
Wait what? Rush died? Wow. Ditto that inner message Colin. Ditto that. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 17, 10:22
I was always deeply uncomfortable with the friendships he had in Braves management. - David Feb 17, 10:16 5

    - His and 45’s hucksterism and ability to influence evangelicals continues to just baffle me. - Dark Callisto Feb 17, 10:56 2

        Does it though? Not taking a shot at people of faith, but particularly the evangelical community seems rife with hypocrisy. Not just base politics, - pmb Feb 17, 11:03
