The Evil of the Left

Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital today with chest pains while vacationing in Hawaii.  I learned about it while working when someone I follow mentioned it on twitter.  Twitter, and other new and social media is a terrific way to learn about news before other traditional sources have picked up the story… but since it’s a medium very close to the person telling the story, it also exposes a lot about the people behind the information.

While watching this story develop on Google’s realtime search, many tweets made their way through, most of which were extremely disturbing…

@randomscreenname: Dear Rush Limbaugh, please die. Sincerely, The People of America.

@billpalmer: come on God, I don’t ask you for much, and I very rarely ask you to smite anyone. but please kill Rush Limbaugh tonight.

@LONGBRDSK8R #RUSH LIMBAUGH IF IT COMES DOWN TO THE POWER OF PRAYER YOU AIN’T GOT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE OF GETTING THROUGH THE NIGHT GOOD RIDDANCE PIG

@epik_fail I’m not as good or decent of a person as the rest of you, so I’ll just say it outright: I hope Rush Limbaugh fucking dies.

@Skullbuggy Please let Rush Limbaugh die. Please let Rush Limbaugh die. Please let Rush Limbaugh die.

@billionbucks Rush Limbaugh in a hospital? Maybe our health care system will fail enough to remove him from this world he bitches about everyday. #byebye

These are joined with literally thousands of other vile hatred filled tweets. When Kennedy was nearing the end, I don’t recall the right ever expressing a death wish for the man.  Sure I disagreed with Kennedy and believed him to be bad for this country, but I never once tweeted wishing for his demise.

I do pray that Rush is ok and I really believe that we need to start praying for our country and our world.  When you surround yourself with mostly good, honest and moral people you tend to forget just how evil the rest of the world can be.
