Rush Limbaugh, the conservative U.S. talk radio host, was released from a Honolulu hospital and will resume his program next week, Premier Radio Networks Inc. said today in an e-mailed statement. Limbaugh plans to return after some rest and will make appearances with fill-in hosts early in the week, today’s statement said. Premier Radio Networks is a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications.

Doctors at Queen’s Medical Center found no evidence of heart disease in tests taken after he was admitted to the hospital Dec. 30 because of chest pains, Limbaugh said earlier today at a press conference broadcast on Fox News and CNN. “The angiogram showed literally no heart disease or arterial disease whatsoever,” said Limbaugh, 58. His show is heard on about 600 radio stations.
Liberals wish death on Rush Limbaugh

One only has to read comments about Rush Limbaugh by liberals at the New York Daily News to see how vile the left is. All over the Internet, many liberals have wished for Rush to have a heart attack, die, or just both. It’s quite pathetic. Rush Limbaugh, an American hero, is hated because he tells the truth about Affirmative Action, Obama, global warming and many other things. Instead of arguing Rush Limbaugh’s points with merit, liberals try to rip him to shreds.

In any case, you would never catch this column or many other conservatives wishing death on a liberal. Conservatives usually practice what they preach. The liberal motto is "Do as I say, not as I do."
We’re so used to this kind of rhetoric that we don’t even bother to challenge it anymore:
  • Rush Limbaugh, an American hero | This one is subjective. It’s not apparent to me what he has done that is heroic. He evaded military service because of a pilonidal cyst – large pimple on the butt. He didn’t make it a whole term in college. His main employment has been on talk radio.
  • Rush Limbaugh … is hated because he tells the truth about Affirmative Action | As I understand it, Limbaugh is opposed to affirmative action on the grounds that minority recipients are lazy deadbeats.
  • Rush Limbaugh … is hated because he tells the truth about … Obama | Limbaugh thinks Obama is a Muslim, Socialist, Fascist, Communist who is representing only people of his race.
  • Rush Limbaugh … is hated because he tells the truth about … global warming | Global warming isn’t happening according to Limbaugh.
  • Instead of arguing Rush Limbaugh’s points with merit, liberals try to rip him to shreds | The reason that people like me don’t like Limbaugh is purported to be our envy of him, or fear of how right he is about things. I guess I’m off base. I think I don’t like him because he makes up lies and distorts facts on a daily basis.
It’s hard for me to get my mind comfortable with the fact that huge groups of people listen to Rush Limbaugh every day, and either believe what he says or don’t care whether it’s true or not so long as it supports their general political philosophy. And this kind of "amateur hour" psychological interpretation appalls me. This author thinks we hate Limbaugh because we can’t stand the truth. I think it’s that we can’t stand Limbaugh because he can’t tell the truth. And the fact that we have to remind ourselves of our personal morality to supress our death-wishes isn’t because we envy his rightness or because we’re mean. It’s because he is a provocateur extraordinaire. He needs to be hated in order to keep his audience…

    You have to have a heart to have heart disease. I just finished a biography of L Baum the author of “The Wizard of Oz”, so please excuse the silly comment.

    Actually, a great comment! I wish I’d thought of it!
