Must We Dance on Rush Limbaugh’s Grave?

[BidenPresident]

I’m not saying that if we all just talked prettier, we’d find common ground, or that ugly language about bigots is nearly the problem that their bigotry is. I’m not saying that we owe Limbaugh and his listeners a gentle touch and, without it, are doing them some unwarranted disservice.

But our roughness certainly isn’t going to lead anyone to the light, and it may well encourage its targets to hunker down in their resentment, double down on their rage and stray less frequently onto terrain where they might mingle with people who hold at least slightly divergent views.

Absolutely disagree with the editorial.

Liberals need to stop being pussies and pretending that if you're nice to a bully they will treat you nicely.

Saving my dancing for trumps death, they may have to put round the clock security on his grave.

About a thousand people a day will show up to piss on Trump's grave.

No, being that shit of a person is always a choice.

Yes, Rush chose to be a hate filled asshole.

America and Americans suck now, this is so true.

Our ancestors tended to be better.

You are lying yet again.

Agreed.

In my lifetime, I’ve forgiven many transgressions against me. Forgiveness is given where forgiveness is earned and deserved.

Those who continue the lies, the bullshit, the defense of traitors and enemies of democracy have neither earned nor deserve forgiveness or respect. Limbaugh promoted lies, divisiveness and hate with his last breaths. Fuck him.

Trump is the same way. As President, worse. I will also embrace and celebrate his death.

Rush spewed hated his whole life. No reason to be nice about his legacy. He was a shit person.

YOU AIN'T JUST WHISTL'IN DIXIE, FRIEND!

It's been 30 years since the "Reagan revolution", and it seems many Democrats, Liberals and even Progressives haven't learned the simple truth: the GOP is playing dodge ball while you fools are trying to play chess.

Pretty much the masks of civility have come off now (i.e., Capitol Hill insurrection, the fixed decision not to impeach Trump), and this fool in the NY Times thinks that NOT giving Limbaugh the eulogy that he deserves will somehow sway neocon/teabagger/libertarian/alt-right politicians, pundits and voters?

GMAFB! With these people it's the old saying, "lead, follow or get out of the way". I answer with an old stand by, " F you and the horse you road in on."

Agree. I usually like Bruni's editorials. But I posted this because I vehemently disagree.

Time to get over this bullshit about going high when they go low.

Brilliant observation!
