Here Are The Professors Disparaging Rush Limbaugh’s Passing | The Daily Wire
Sarah Parcak, an anthropology professor at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, said she hoped that Limbaugh suffered until his last breath. “When a terrible piece of scum who caused immeasurable harm to millions dies, there is no sympathy,” Parcak said. “Only a desire that they suffered until their last breath.”
In a since-deleted tweet, James McMaster, an assistant professor in Asian American studies and gender and women’s/LGBTQ+ studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said he was grateful the world lost Limbaugh. “Very grateful that from today onward I will live in a world without Rush Limbaugh in it,” McMaster said.
Another University of Wisconsin-Madison associate professor in the Department of Gender & Women’s studies, Dr. Sami Schalk tweeted “welp” to the news of Limbaugh’s passing.
Professor of education at the University of South Carolina, Nick Mariner, blamed Limbaugh for his childhood trauma. “Rush Limbaugh is almost singularly responsible for making my childhood home more hostile, more anti-intellectual, and more oppositional. He was the worst of us, and I lament all the pretenders who want to fill his spot. #GoodRiddance,” Mariner tweeted.
Stephen Young, an adjunct faculty member in religious studies at Appalachian State University, said Limbaugh’s legacy will live in eternal shame. “Rush is dead and his shame is eternal. Save your mourning energy for activism to dismantle the evil world he helped build. May his name be an instructive curse forever,” Young tweeted.
In another since-deleted tweet, Yale professor of law and philosophy Scott Shapiro tweeted, “I wouldn’t say I was happy that Rush Limbaugh died. It’s more like euphoria.”
Professor Lora Burnett at Collin College in Texas tweeted “#BIH Rush Limbaugh.” “BIH” stands for “burn in hell.”
Another Collin College professor, Michael Phillips, wrote an obituary for Limbaugh. “He was a horrible human being beloved by the worst people on the planet. That’s my obit,” Phillips wrote.
Paul Thomas, a professor at Furman University, said not even cancer is a good enough excuse to mourn the life of Limbaugh. “Death and the tragedy of cancer in no way erase the facts of a person being a genuinely horrible entity that made a fortune at the expense of others. With almost no consequences,” Thomas said. “Death is no excuse for silence around evil.”
Erik Loomis, a professor of history at the University of Rhode Island, tweeted, “pour one out for Rush Limbaugh’s pill dealers.”
After the radio legend’s death, the hashtag “#goodriddance” and “Rest in Piss” began trending on Twitter. Mariam Durrani, an assistant professor of anthropology at Hamilton College in New York, called the hashtag “quality afternoon viewing.”
“The #goodriddance situation is quality afternoon viewing,” Durrani said.
A postdoctoral fellow at the University of Virginia tweeted that he had a slew of “tasteless” jokes running through his mind. “There are so many tasteless Rush jokes running through my brain right now.”
Rebecca Goetz, an associate professor of history at New York University responded by saying, “oh no anything that mocks that asshole is in very good taste [in my honest opinion].”
Rush Limbaugh passes away from cancer and @Twitter lefties decide to trend this.

Farewell to the King of the mouth pigs! He inspired the worst in people.

“Rest in Piss” is trending because Rush Limbaugh died.

I don’t know who the first person to write this was, but how dare you. How dare you come up with the perfect joke before the rest of us could.
It’s downright rude.
That’ll do, pig.

There isn’t one good quality about Rush Limbaugh. Not one. Fuck him. Wherever he is.

Happy Rush Limbaugh Is Dead Day! I didn't even get the chance to put my tree up!

It's easy to make fun of Rush Limbaugh right now, but it's important to remember that he also brought a lot of people a lot of joy by dying
— Mike Drucker (@MikeDrucker) February 17, 2021
If Rush Limbaugh spoke about white people & conservatives the way he did about the rest of us his death would be viewed as the end of an extremist who inspired and promoted intolerance and hate against a large part of the country. Instead, he's a GOP hero. Tells you everything.

Rush Limbaugh was a coward and white supremacist. He aggressively and cynically exploited divisions in our country by weaponizing hatred and bigotry for his own personal gain. He was in service to his own greed, prejudice, and hypocrisy, and that is how history will remember him.
— Charlotte Clymer ️ (@cmclymer) February 17, 2021
Rush Limbaugh was a shitty, cynical person who did everything he could to make the world meaner, dumber, and more divided. I'm glad he's dead and I wish it had happened a lot sooner.

These are the same people who spent the last four years telling us what a horrible person Trump is. I don’t need any lectures on tolerance from the likes of this.

The idea that you say artifically nice things about people after they die is weird. I've never understood the logic of it. Rush Limbaugh was a terrible person while he was alive. He made a living by attacking the powerless. His death does not in anyway change or redeem that.

I was 4 days into a weeklong break from Twitter, but Limbaugh dying felt like a necessary moment to reemerge
— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) February 17, 2021
Rush Limbaugh was a foul fuck rat who spread nothing but hate & terror throughout his career. His radio show poisoned hundreds of millions of people’s minds. He’s a racist, a misogynist, & homophobe. His death brings me joy.

Rush Limbaugh died. Rightwingers on Twitter are heaping praise on him.
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) February 17, 2021
I challenge you to read the things he said about minorities, black people, gay people, women, sexual consent, torture, climate, even the Jan 6th attack, and find things to praise in there.
I challenge you.
Feeling very sorry for the people of Hell who now have to deal with Rush Limbaugh for the rest of eternity

Jesus Christ, do these people have any dignity? How much money would you have to be paid before being willing to type out that Rush Limbaugh was “a humble man?” Limbaugh, if he could see this, would laugh at it. Lowry edits an actual magazine, and has no self respect. https://t.co/JekxXqCtoW

Your tax dollars paid for this tweet:
Rush Limbaugh has died at the age of 70.

The conservative talk radio host was known for propelling Republican candidates and attacking women, Blacks and Latinos. https://t.co/RDsnui92e0
So is Rush Limbaugh going to go down in history as the worst person to ever receive the presidential medal of freedom or is there someone else?
— Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) February 17, 2021
Rush Limbaugh was a bigot and a misogynist who saturated America's airwaves with cruel lies and conspiracy theories for decades, transforming the GOP in the process.

Rush Limbaugh was a terrible human being in life, and I refuse to abide by the convention that his death absolves him from criticism for his legacy of bigotry.

Once I learned my aunt listened to Rush Limbaugh, I knew never to speak to that aunt again. Thanks, Rush!

I’ve never celebrated the death of a politician or figure on the left. Does that mean I’m just not caring or sure enough about my politics to be that hateful?
