Rush Limbaugh ‘Leftist Ways’ Killed Robin Williams

‘Leftist Ways’ Killed Robin Williams according to Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh ‘Leftist Ways’ Killed Robin Williams – Rush Limbaugh defended his comments about Robin Williams’ suicide saying the left-wing media had taken his words completely out of context.

According to Limbaugh his comments were about the media coverage of Williams’ suicide and not the event itself.

A clip posted by Mediaite showed Rush Limbaugh saying the following on his radio show:

“All of these low-rent, despicable, irresponsible, pathetic, so-called media watchdogs on the left are trying to make it sound like I said that Robin Williams gave up because he was a liberal and is hopelessly doomed to misery and despair because that’s what liberals are devoted to.”

When a listener called in to discuss the news coverage of Robin Williams’ suicide Limbaugh commented:

“He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn’t. Now, what’s the left’s worldview in general? What is it? It you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftists worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy are they? They’re always angry about something. Not matter what they get, they’re always angry,”

Limbaugh also commented the survivor guilt Williams experienced with friends like Christopher Reeves:

“He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn’t. Well, that’s a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country. It’s outcome-based education 2 + 2 = 5.”

Limbaugh’s justification for his actions:

“What I did yesterday was express some real concern over the fact that they’re glorifying this; I was worried about the coverage of all this leading to copycats.”

Media Matters and other liberal media watchdog groups said Limbaugh was  “exploiting” the actor’s death.
