While he is going a bit overboard with it I will say that Frank does have a valid point that Limbaugh has done vile things on a personal level that goes beyond political disagreements. While I’m not gonna dance on his grave I’m also not really gonna begrudge anyone here who feel little sympathy for a guy who mocked Fox’s Parkinsons

My congrats to the mod team (TG and Mr X in particular) for keeping fairness and equality in applying the rules. Personally I think mocking someone's death (or terminal illness) is in poor taste at best and horrible at worst.

Now, if you do want to "legalize" mocking someone's death that is fine; but if you do, you should be consistent and not act surprised or outraged if say for example, Obama tragically died and there were comments mocking his death.

Anyways, current policy seems to be that mocj
king someone's death = big no and I fail to see a reason for a special exception here? (Maybe if say, Lukashenko or the Ayatollah died it'd make more sense?)
Get back to us when Obama mocks someone with Parkinson’s. Again what is so hard about “Rush has done revolting things on a personal level that transcends politics” for people to understand? This reminds me when Trump got COVID and Fuzzy whined in the moderator thread about libs making jokes about Trump possibly dying when reps couldn’t do that to John Lewis or RGB. Whatever you’re feelings on Obama, Lewis, RGB’s politics we’re that’s all the objective is to them. The scorn they hold from the right is purely partisan unlike Trump and Rush who had done vile things on the personal level beyond the partisan disagreements
