Ever read any of your briefs when you were prosecutor?
Rush said that the COVERAGE had a political element to it, not the suicide.
He didn’t comment on the suicide AT ALL.
It’s the PRESS that has acted like they actually sat down with him, interviewed him, and then filmed the event.
Yeah, good plan - stop listening to experts. You are all set on your own.
Aren’t you arrogant and presumptuous. Robin had a history of mental illness. His mania was well know even prior to his success, so to say he “let himself get so screwed up” is not only wrong, but truly displays your ignorance.

EXACTLY!
And of course Obamagabe weighed in during a round of golf. What a great American and entertainer Williams was and the other glowing accolades. If Williams had been a conservative actor not a word would have came out of his mouth about the passing. Williams was a big time liberal and that’s why the fraud in chief weighed in on his death. When will he announce that American flags will be flown as half staff?
I have to give that police spokesman a lot of credit (part at the end of the transcript). He saw where the press questioning was going (leading into the autoeroticism angle) and cut it off at the knees. With a chainsaw,
Right. Depression is serious and at whatever level a person suffers it, it is important to know that they are in pain and struggling.
I am sure that taking drugs does not help but in the end only aggravates the problem.
I have not seen or heard any broadcast explaining how drugs made a bad situation even worse.
He had had a history of substance abuse. The “mental illness” diagnosis is from the media.
Ping to the thread. Could you repost your excellent Solomon citation?
This is the post in its entirety:
When a person is smart enough and old enough to see the heart of man and his fate - but is unwilling to accept Christ’s Grace, suicide will be the likely outcome.
I think this happens with a lot of “above average intelligence” people as they age. Look at Ecclesiastes. It’s Solomon as an old man, full of wisdom. After getting the chicks, the cars, the private jets, the villa in the Alps, he realizes it is ALL a chasing after the wind. But then the zinger is in the last paragraph:
Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
If one is at the same level Solomon was at and refuses to accept that last paragraph, suicide is the logical next step. It would be for me, and I’m only 60.
As Paul said in 1 Corinthians,
“For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.”
And...
“What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’”
The first thing I saw on my FB this morning was a nasty post against Rush by Lewis Black, reposted by a friend. I wondered what Rush could have said to get such a response, but from what I can tell, there is nothing scandalous or untoward in Rush’s statement. As usual, Rush speaks, the left goes insane.
I had no idea Williams had such financial problems. He wouldn’t be the first person to commit suicide over finances and mixed with clinical depression, it’s not surprising at all.
I’m depressed, utterly broke, meager std of living.
Not gonna kill myself. Definition of selfishness.
NO sympathy for suicides, especially celebrities.
RUSH: Before you get to that. Mark, I have never really known and I'm gonna ask. Is it Des Plaines, or Des Plaines?CALLER: Well, it's Des Plaines.
RUSH: Des Plaines. Okay.
Clear as mud now, heheh
You say potato, I say potato., let's call the whole thing off.
It is sad that Williams felt, IMO, he hadn’t accomplished enough, that he had to be “on” constantly. I’m not a fan, but I realize he brought laughter to an entire generation. Wasn’t that good enough? Apparently not.
Thanks for not excerpting, as Rush graciously allows us to post the whole thing.
I agree. The thing that struck me is the way he went out. Kind of a cheesy way to commit suicide. Maybe go out doing something heroic. I'm not sure what that could be, but something to think about.
Lewis Black is just the kind of jerk who would
have something snarky and rude to say if
a notable conservative suddenly met their demise.
Strange thing.
Once it was impolite, insensitive, unkind and perhaps even politically incorrect to stare at the mentally ill, when displaying their affliction.
Hyperkinetic manic-depressives can be specially entertaining to some.
I was convinced that those cultural sanctions were still in place.
Evidently not, if he/she/it is an "artist" of any kind.
'Me too' nut jobs are popping out all over...
You misspelled potatoe, lol. ;)
<Lewis Black is just the kind of jerk
Yeah, which is why I just noted the name and first line and didn’t bother with the detail, other than wondering what Rush could have said, however, no way was I going to count on Black to tell me the truth of what Limbaugh said.
No.
Just stating my opinion - just as you did.
