Sounds like Rush forgot that Robin Williams was a patriot who carried on the tradition of Bob Hope.
"Robin Williams participated in United Service Organization (USO) tours for more than a decade, entertaining troops in war zones from Afghanistan to Iraq to Kuwait. He made many trips to 13 different countries and performing stand-up routines for almost 90,000 troops."

Problem is, Rush wasn't speaking ill of Robin Williams, at all. He was talking about THE MEDIA, and its coverage of his death.
Even so, Rush is still an idiot. Here's why.
After 25+ years, he seemingly STILL doesn't get that when he goes on& on quoting what others say, it's easy for the listener to confuse those words as being his own. ( more on this when I have time )
Also, Rush seems to ignore the fact that there are groups like Media Matters who are hell bent in making him look bad & driving him off the air. Such leftist groups are jihadist like in their mission to silence the Right. Of course they'd twist his remarks to the worst possible light. It's all they do.

Fine, fine ... but in THIS particular case it wasn't someone else's words and it wasn't Media Matters twisting anything either. He tried to do a "six degrees of separation" between Robin Williams, leftists' world view, and suicide. Just ridiculous. So inappropriate.

Not much of a fan. But I must admit that one wonderful film which he happened to be in was Awakenings.

The fact that you have to ask says such a lot.
And the fact you can't give a straight forward reply to my question says even more.
I suspect she refers to your second line of your second post in this thread. Some folk consider reality to be rude, even in RWED. Perhaps she thought this was in GD with the numerous other Robin threads.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
It just seemed like you were paying more attention to Frem than anybody else, conjured you might have translated his delusions for us.

“What is the left’s world view in general?” Mr. Limbaugh asked listeners. “If you had to attach, not a philosophy, but an attitude to a leftist world view. It’s one of pessimism, and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they?”

What an obsessive compulsive paranoid freaky deaky broken record. "Take my cereal this morning... too much milk and not enough sugar... just like the lefties. See that color? Leftie blue... How much does gas cost? Too leftie much!"
Ummmm...
This is not new, Rush has explained this to listeners many times before, but he does need to repeat the same things over and over in case new listeners AKA previously low-information voters tune in.
And, his point is applicable to Robin, who was as Looney Lefty Lying/Lemming Libtard as can be - if you didn't already know that, pull your head out of the sand. Unknown if he was the Lying version - knowing the libtardity was all lies - or the Lemming version - blindly believing the lies like all the other Libtard Drones.

You're right that it was inappropriate, and I'll agree it was ridiculous, but to be fair, Rush was talking about the MEDIA, and not criticizing Robin Williams, or trying to suggest that " being a liberal " is why he took his life.
Rush plainly stated that he has no idea why RW took his life, and that NO ONE knows, other for certain.
I'd even compare it to Rush's remarks about Michael J. Fox several years ago, which ALSO got completely twisted and turned around as well.
In short, he did not say what many believe he said.
But what does it matter anyways. Those who hate Rush will think the worst of him, regardless.

Robin mostly did this AFTER corrupting the role of the DJ ?Kronhouer? in Vietnam - he couldn't resist proclaiming all his libtard views, constantly implying that he knew what it was like to serve, and that the real-life Soldier had similar Looney Lefty views as Robin did - when in fact this constantly irked the real-life guy, who Robin refused to tour with (so he never went on USO Tours as a result of Robin) because he was a staunch conservative and continually supportive of the military, which Robin largely despised and constantly made fun of - at least when he wasn't on USO Tour.
Sorry, but "patriot" my muscular buttocks.

Okay. I concede your point. I didn't hear what he said. I only read one very brief article.

Sorry, but my vote is with the soldiers and the USO who say he was a patriot.
