EXCLUSIVE: Oops! Wikipedia Pronounced Rush Limbaugh Dead
RadarOnline ^ | 12.31.09

Posted on 12/31/2009 7:36:02 AM PST by libh8er

Looks like the folks at Wikipedia were prepared for the worst when it came to Rush Limbaugh. Actually they were a little too well prepared.

Shortly after the news broke that the conservative political radio talk show host was hospitalized, Wikipedia updated his page – and pronounced him dead.

Folks (like us) who happened to take a look at Limbaugh’s biography, saw this:

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/;born January 12, 1951, died December 30, 2009) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States. It airs throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks.

That was posted shortly after midnight, EST.

Rush, of course, was very much alive and about 15 minutes later Wikipedia pronounced him so, altering their bio by removing the information that he had died.

Limbaugh remains hospitalized Thurday.

Rush got too close and got a good lung full of sulphur.

I wish him a speedy recovery!

How can that pure hate site be shut down? We need to do it.

The only way to do that is convert them to your side. Surely you aren't in favor of denying them freedom of speech, no matter how despicable it may be?

Yes I believe you are right.

Obama is in Hawaii not on vacation but to make darn sure no one leaks the fact he was not born in Hawaii..We are getting to close so he decide to take our company plane on another free ride to Hawaii to intimidate the locals into keeping their mouth shut..

Also Pelosi and BO decided to get rid of Rush..

It doesn't say anything about him being dead. Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/;born January 12, 1951, died December 30, 2009) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States. It airs throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks. Where is any reference to his being dead?

>> As Mark Twain said: “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” <<

People forget that Samuel Clemens, aka. Mark Twain had plenty of enemies in his lifetime.

Rush kind of reminds me of him in some ways.

>> Twitter posters revealed that evil is incarnate on this world.

The left was dancing and celebrating in hopes that Rush would die last night. <<

Kind of like how people danced in the middle east after 9/11....

when someone tries to foment treason and evil, hell YEAH I am against their speech!

I did NOT serve in the Marine Corps to defend someone’s right to call for the assasination of Bush, Call for bombings of military installations, call for supporting enemy Jihadists in war against Americans!

NONE of that is FREE SPEECH, it is sedition and treason!

and it is NOT protected speech...unless of course, you are a democrat!

When an ambulance was called to the Obama compound, also in Hawaii, was he declared dead on Wiki? Why not:

1. 'We' don't do that.

2. Obama isn't as big a celebrity as Rush.

How is it people still don’t understand how Wikipedia works?

There are no “folks at Wikipedia” who update “their” page. Some random user made the bogus edit saying Rush had died, and some other random user came along and edited it out.
