It's like banging your head against a brick wall.

No doubt the reverse is true as well: conservatives who are generous with other people's money (some organized religions come to mind) and liberals who won't help anyone.
But your point is a good one: There is no black and white, labels don't apply to everyone, and the actions of one "leftist" do not color the remainder of the people who have that ridiculous label slapped onto them.

That's a good point. I guess he was greasing the wheels so he could get into the pearly gates.

That wasn't the point. The point is that the donation is a miniscule percentage of his income.

Good point. No respectable radio station would have carried his show if they'd have had to carry opposing viewpoints.

Rush Limbaugh was not a "decent" person. His definition of "truly despicable" apparently included large groups of people for whom he spared no venom: women, gays, immigrants, blacks, liberals, environmentalists.
He called Chelsea Clinton a dog when she was all of 13. He called Barack Obama a "house negro". "Decent" people do not do that.

Give it a rest. Rush was just one aggressive voice on the conservative against what, dozens of venom spewing foul mouth liberal media hosts? The women on the View are not decent. Rachel Maddow is not decent. Kathy Griffin created a bloody severed head of Trump. The liberals made fun and cheered when Herman Cain got covid and died. They laughed at president Trump almost dying from covid. Rush pales in comparison to the truly despicable liberal media and Hollywood with their holier than thou attitudes and intolerance for anyone who dares have a difference of opinion.
Satan has called one his spawn home...may you roast in hell Rush!
The world can only hope that Satan will act quickly to bring another of his spawn home. However, Trump has now killed more than 500,000 people plus the 6 dead at the Capitol, left the US in 8 trillion dollars of debt and with record unemployment. Perhaps Satan has some more work for Trump.
Since the left has changed the meanings of all these words, they have no meaning anymore. They can be applied to anyone. Even on the left, many are finding themselves ensnared in the same ridiculous net that they, themselves, have cast. Most Americans, Rush included, are decent people. We all have flaws. We all say things sometimes that aren't politically correct. I wish we could go back to saving our venom for the truly despicable people of the world, like Klansmen and neo-nazis, and leave everyone else alone to be the flawed humans that we are. This whole "woke" phenomenon is what is "coarsening national discourse".
Miss me with the false equivalency and whataboutism.

Both rush and trump are going to heaven because they oppose abortion. That is the golden ticket. They are good Catholics of course.
Rush was worth 85 mil.......so what he donated 100k to St Jude. It`s like me giving $1.00.
I was gonna say...$100k doesn’t sound like that much for someone of Rush’s stature, and certainly not “whopping”.
More interesting will be how his estate will be parsed out.
I didn’t care for Rush’s politics, but I don’t think he was vile or evil. I can see why he’s hated, but c’mon. It’s not at all surprising to me that he wrote some charitable checks here and there.

I think it's hilarious how people like you have been embarrassing themselves for weeks on end now
"whataboutism" is not a word. The reason you're confused is because the actual word, "hypocrisy", is too traumatic for your slanted worldview to accept

Wait? What? I thought your kind don't care about "feelings" so why would these "venom spewing" folks even bother you?
