Limbaugh plans to return after some rest and will make appearances with fill-in hosts early in the week, today&rsquo;s statement said. Premier Radio Networks is a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications.     <\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">Doctors at Queen&rsquo;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. &ldquo;The angiogram showed literally no heart disease or arterial disease whatsoever,&rdquo; said Limbaugh, 58. His show is heard on about 600 radio stations.     <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-30616-LA-African-American-Conservative-Examiner%7Ey2010m1d1-Liberals-wish-death-on-Rush-Limbaugh\" target=\"_blank\">Liberals wish death on Rush Limbaugh<\/a><br \/>      Examiner.com<\/strong><br \/>      by Lisa Carter<br \/>      January 1, 2010<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">One only has to read comments&nbsp;about Rush&nbsp;Limbaugh&nbsp;by liberals at the <em>New York Daily News<\/em> 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&#8217;s quite pathetic. <strong><font color=\"#990000\">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&#8217;s points with merit, liberals try to rip him to shreds.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">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 &quot;Do as I say, not as I do.&quot;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"justify\">We&#8217;re so used to this kind of rhetoric that we don&#8217;t even bother to challenge it anymore: <\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#990000\">Rush Limbaugh, an American hero |<\/font><\/strong> This one is subjective. It&#8217;s not apparent to me what he has done that is heroic. He evaded military service because of a pilonidal cyst &#8211; large pimple on the butt. He didn&#8217;t make it a whole term in college. His main employment has been on talk radio.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#990000\">Rush Limbaugh &#8230; is hated because he tells the truth about Affirmative Action | <\/font><\/strong>As I understand it, Limbaugh is opposed to affirmative action on the grounds that minority recipients are lazy deadbeats.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#990000\">Rush Limbaugh &#8230; is hated because he tells the truth about  &#8230; Obama |<\/font><\/strong> Limbaugh thinks Obama is a Muslim, Socialist, Fascist, Communist who is representing only people of his race.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#990000\">Rush Limbaugh &#8230; is hated because he tells the truth about  &#8230; global warming |<\/font><\/strong> Global warming isn&#8217;t happening according to Limbaugh.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong><font color=\"#990000\">Instead of arguing Rush Limbaugh&#8217;s points with merit, liberals try to rip him to shreds |<\/font><\/strong> The reason that people like me don&#8217;t like Limbaugh is purported to be our envy of him, or fear of how right he is about things. I guess I&#8217;m off base. I think I don&#8217;t like him because he makes up lies and distorts facts on a daily basis.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div align=\"justify\">It&#8217;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&#8217;t care whether it&#8217;s true or not so long as it supports their general political philosophy. And this kind of &quot;amateur hour&quot; psychological interpretation appalls me. This author thinks <strong><font color=\"#990000\">we hate Limbaugh because we can&#8217;t stand the truth<\/font><\/strong>. I think it&#8217;s that <strong><font color=\"#990000\">we can&#8217;t stand <\/font><\/strong><strong><font color=\"#990000\">L<\/font><\/strong><strong><font color=\"#990000\">imbaugh <\/font><\/strong><strong><font color=\"#990000\">because he <\/font><\/strong><strong><font color=\"#990000\">can&#8217;t tell the truth<\/font><\/strong>. And the fact that we have to remind ourselves of our personal morality to supress our death-wishes isn&#8217;t because we envy his rightness or because we&#8217;re mean. It&#8217;s because he is a <strong><font color=\"#200020\">provocateur extraordinaire<\/font><\/strong>. He needs to be hated in order to keep his audience&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limbaugh Released, Says Tests Found No Heart Disease Bloomberg By Courtney Schlisserman January 1, 2010 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.
