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.
Libs absolutely brokenhearted when a terrorist gets Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, but jumps for joy when a fellow citizen and human being who has nothing to them has a brush with death.
Humblegunner: Where is any reference to his being dead?

Epic fail.
Gee, they added the deceased date in there, but didn't bother to change the article to past tense to reflect that he is no longer with us. You (and many others) have been duped.

Very interesting, Coleus... thanks! I've never heard of Conservapedia.
FReepers, take note... there IS an alternative to Wikipedia!
Bookmarked, thank you.
Thanks for the ping.
Neither Hitler NOR Mengele were ever in Argentina. Most war criminals preferred Brazil and Paraguay. Eichman was a dumb low level operative who was stupid enough to settle in Buenos Aires.

All your hemming and hawing is what made sedition a part of Free Speech.
If screaming FIRE in a movie theater is illegal, so is screaming BUSH DID IT, it has the same effect, only nationally, especially when it is a lie!
No, but YOU are perfectly free to ignore this thread and go on to ones you find more worthy, while those of us who find the Wiki phenomenon interesting are free to read about it as we please.
If you want to boss other free people around by denying them things, I suggest you switch websites, if not political parties.

If, G-d FORBID, Rush had passed last night, I would NOT have wanted to be in the same world with those cheering monsters.
How are they different than the Muslims cheering and dancing after 9/11?
Rush Limbaugh does make fun of liberals, including the President. But he is no different by mocking his political adversaries than any NUMBER of comedians and hosts on the left. If Jon Stewart or Chris Matthews died, G-d forbid, we on the right WOULD NOT CHEER. And the media elite would single out and hunt down anyone who did.
When Ted Kennedy passed, it was damn hard around here to pray and say anything nice. But many of us did. At least the prayer part. There were many who could not resist and their comments were deleted. Many were left saying things like “Well, I can’t think of anything nice to say so I will say nothing.” Kennedy did kill someone he was trying to screw. He killed her for his political career, then gave her family some shut-up blood money. Then his career consisted of decades of taking money away from the earning, he and his cronies excepted, to give to the non-earning.
Rush has never killed anyone. He has never advocated taking anyone’s freedom away: in fact, he champions freedom for all Americans, even the ones he makes fun of and disagrees with. He is hated and disparaged, and forced out of business deals, all based on lies. All based on whom he disagrees with. Liberals only wish freedom for themselves.
The world is turned upside down.
At least we know from history that the best men sometimes have to suffer greatly for their leadership.
