Yesterday, we reported that the legendary conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh had revealed on his show that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. While the news was met with a wave of support for Limbaugh from conservatives, liberals showed how classless they really are by celebrating the diagnosis as if it was a positive thing.
Former CNN host Reza Aslan took to Twitter to say, “Ask yourself this simple question: is the world a better place or a worse place with Rush Limbaugh in it?”

Comedian Nick Jack Pappas tweeted, “I’m so sorry for lung cancer, no one deserves Rush Limbaugh. I wish him the best medical care he’s worked on denying to others.”

Comedian Nick Ciarelli seemed like he was going to go a different route than his fellow liberals, but the first part of his tweet ended up being a red herring.
“Seeing a lot of tasteless tweets about Rush Limbaugh. No one should have to suffer through lung cancer. Wishing him a speedy recovery and that he uses his vast influence to promote affordable health coverage for everyone (I am saying all of this as I put a pillow over his face).”

When CNN’s Brian Stelter posted about the diagnosis to his Twitter account, liberals celebrated in their responses to him:
He, literally, has encouraged rightwing politicians to harm people, deprive healthcare, imprison innocent children and let people die.
Lives will be saved when he is gone.

Christmas in February! And it’s his own fault for smoking all those cigars. He will suffer, terribly. I am as happy as a person can be!

Couldn’t have happened to a better person. I guess since he is a cancer to society, life is imitating art here.

Thankfully, director and producer Robby Starbuck stepped in to defend Limbaugh from the abuse.
“The responses to this tweet illustrate the pure evil lurking on the far left right now,” he wrote. “If you disagree with them, many of them literally not only want you dead, they’ll celebrate your suffering. Really vile. Send up lots of prayers for Rush Limbaugh to counteract this evil.”

Starbuck hits the nail on the head with this tweet. Democrats and the mainstream media have vilified conservatives so much that radical liberals don’t only want us dead, they gleefully celebrate when they see someone on the right suffering.
Remember this next time someone says that the current divide in our country was caused by President Donald Trump, which is blatantly false. Instead, the divide was caused by so-called “tolerant” leftists who can’t deal with anyone who disagrees with them.
