Immediately after the news went public, liberals on social media started making smug and heartless comments about Limbaugh’s unfortunate plight.

It wasn’t just random Twitter trolls who made comments celebrating Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis. Popular left-wing Twitter influencers did so as well, and their posts were widely liked among their liberal followers.

Some liberals, however, did show some grace and wish Limbaugh the best in his recovery despite their political differences, even though some looked like canned messages sent around by leftist organizers:

Limbaugh has emerged as the king of conservative talk since launching his national talk radio show out of New York in 1988.

His meteoric rise was described in a 1991 Los Angeles Times profile:

Limbaugh first proved this in Sacramento in the mid-1980s, where he was a local hit with the same kind of show. In the spring of 1988, a syndicator discovered him, signed him to a partnership, moved him to Manhattan with a $250,000 annual base salary and launched the 54-station “Excellence in Broadcasting” network that August. They quickly added scores of small markets; then the bigger ones began to come aboard. Last year, Limbaugh made, by his estimate, well over $500,000 and says he’ll hit a million this year. He wallows in it. He flies first class to $15,000-a-pop concert appearances all over the country nearly every weekend, working his rap on adoring crowds of 2,000 to 7,000. He markets concert tapes and T-shirts. He sponsors Caribbean cruises for his most zealous fans. He has emceed an Oliver North benefit roast in Washington. When he took a vacation last summer, his on-air replacement was Rep. Robert Dornan (R-Garden Grove), an ideological twin.

While half of Limbaugh’s audience is over 50–the classic target audience of talk radio–he also draws a substantial number of people in their 30s and 40s who listen while commuting or at work. In Los Angeles, where Limbaugh is heard on all-talk KFI, he loses 2-to-1 in listenership to veteran Michael Jackson on KABC but beats Jackson by about 15% among listeners between 25 and 54. Some of these people listen for the politics. Some listen for the humor. Some listen despite themselves. It is not unusual for a caller to inform Limbaugh that he is a regular listener who disagrees with 90% of the host’s politics. “I think your shtick is better than Pee-wee Herman and Jimmy Swaggart,” a guy from Toledo told Limbaugh recently when he called in. “Only Pee-wee thinks he’s being funny, and Jimmy thinks he’s being serious. I haven’t figured out what you’re trying to do.”

Limbaugh laughed good-naturedly at that one. He maintains that he could not care less that a lot of people are still confused by the program’s cockeyed attitudes. While his conservative views, forged in a family of Republican attorneys in Cape Girardeau, Mo., are deeply held, he never planned on becoming a right-wing icon. His professional universe is show business. The fact that he has become a semi-authorized conservative spokesman–he’s the guy “Nightline” booked last November when it wanted someone to articulate citizen support of mobilization for war with Iraq–is merely a testament to how well Limbaugh packages what he preaches.

“Sixty, maybe 70% of my success is my (conservative) message; I never bargained for that,” he told a concert audience in Long Beach late last year. “I am on the radio for one reason: to attract the largest audience I can and hold it. I am not in a think tank.” Yet he swears he is sincere. He could never pose as a liberal for the sake of ratings, he says. Too much work. Liberals never have a nice day. “They don’t have fun. They’re worried about everything being wrong.”

The entire conservative movement is shaken up by the news of Limbaugh’s diagnosis, with many public figures offering their thoughts and prayers.

Tucker Carlson Calls Out Minnesota AG Keith Ellison for Withholding George Floyd Body Cam Video From Public

Ellison has purposefully divided America.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is calling out Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison for withholding police body cam video recorded by Minneapolis law enforcement shortly before the death of serial felon drug addict George Floyd.

Immediately after Floyd’s death went viral, a massive racial uprising was staged and the instance was used as proof of white racist terror against black people. The dash cam video shows that this was never the case.

Carlson pointed out that Ellison, who is an Islamist with deep ties to virulently racist Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, could have released the video to correct the media-driven narrative of racial division but chose not to do so. America is now on fire, with crime spiking and the rule of law disintegrating nationwide, as a result of Ellison’s misconduct.

“The video seems relevant, particularly considering all that has happened next. And the answer to why we haven’t seen it is simple: because Keith Ellison, he is the Attorney General in Minnesota, hid the video from the public. He refused to release the footage and admitted it,” Carlson said.

Carlson played a clip of Ellison claiming that he hid the footage from the public because he felt that it would give him a better chance of successfully prosecuting the cops who encountered Floyd shortly before his death.

“Videos like this are released all the time by authorities,” Carlson noted.

“In this case, it was hidden, and, in fact, if it weren’t leaked to a foreign newspaper, we wouldn’t have seen that video,” Carlson added, referring to the police video of Floyd.

Carlson’s entire segment from his Fox News show can be seen here:

Big League Politics reported earlier this week about the Floyd video after it was released to the Daily Mail. The video showed an incredibly belligerent Floyd high on drugs resisting throughout the encounter. He also requested to be put on the ground and was complaining about not being able to breathe before he was even placed on the ground.

“Stand up. Stop falling down,” Officer Kueng told Floyd. “Stay on your feet and face the car door.”

“Please man. Don’t leave me by myself man, please. I’m just claustrophobic,” Floyd said.

“Well you’re still going in the car,” Officer Lane said.

After resisting for minutes and refusing to be placed in the cop car, Floyd was placed on the ground. It took several officers to restrain the belligerent and drug-addled suspect, who continued his complaining the entire time.

“I’m through,” Floyd said while he was on the ground. “I’m claustrophobic. My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Everything hurts. I need some water or something, please.”

The officers called for EMTs to arrive before Floyd died of a heart attack, according to the county medical examiner. He has since been canonized by society because Ellison withheld the video, allowing the media to gin up a leftist uprising against law enforcement.

Ellison has done his Islamist brothers proud. He has caused more damage to this nation than ISIS ever could with his malicious prosecution against officers who showed tremendous restraint when dealing with fentanyl-crazed thug George Floyd.
