Unfortunately, he and his many, many, many imitators all over hate radio, the web, and tv have done their best to manifest someone like Ronald McDonald. He may be gone but his movement is very much alive.
Welp, Rush Is dead now. Dying was the coolest thing that man ever did. 🎉
Dying was his second coolest thing. His first coolest thing was becoming a drug addict after years of being critical to those with drug addition. He even said "drug abuse was a choice, not a disease. " He was alive long enough to live that hypocrisy and experience the ridicule for it.
Well, he also denied the smoking - lung cancer connection.
I cannot tell you how many people would argue with me - IRL and online - often molded directly after Rush’s style, and repeat, like good little parrots: “correlation is not causation! correlation is not causation!”. I think Ayn Rand had her cult members smoke as a matter of dogmatic adherence to her Objectivist ideals, too. I have to wonder how much of this made its way to all the little Libertarians and/or Republicans as a consequence.
The Republicans never abided by them. See Rush (de facto leader of the Republican Party for decades) and Chelsea Clinton, for instance.

I’m just happy he was finally able to get off drugs.
I wish he’d done it years earlier.
