OxyMoron Rush: Robin Williams killed himself because of his "political leftist" beliefs

Radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday said that actor Robin Williams’ alleged suicide was caused by his “political leftist” state of mind.

“What is the left’s world view in general?” Limbaugh asked his audience the day after Williams’ death was announced. “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?”

“They’re animated in large part by the false promises of America because the promises of America are not for everyone,” he continued, pointing to a Fox News report that suggested Williams had struggled with financial issues, and survivor’s guilt after the deaths of entertainers like Christopher Reeve, Andy Kaufman and John Belushi.

“Robin Williams felt guilty that he was still alive while his three friends had died young, and much earlier than he had.” the conservative talker explained. “He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn’t.”
“Well, that is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country.”

Robin Williams is being mourned by a lot of people. When Rush goes (and I hope I outlive him just for the pleasure of reading his obituary), the world will not react the same way. He probably knows this and can't stand it.

Can't say the same for a morbidly obese, prescription drug abusing millionaire hate radio host who's a relic from a long gone era.

Now I'm trying to think of an El-tone tune I could use to ironically introduce a segment like this if I ever get my anti-Rush radio show.

The Elton John AIDS Foundation.
" EJAF has raised more than $300 million for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS since its inception in 1992. In the Americas, we invest approximately $7 million in more than 120 organizations every year, with half of this focused on the Southern U.S. and the Caribbean."

Sanctimony never saved a single life.

Here's an article describing how good he was: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/12/robin-williams-charity_n_5671209.html

And as for you, Rush Limbaugh, what do you do with all your money besides buy oxycontin and Viagra and travel on a private jet to places where they have child prostitutes? And when you're dead, will anyone write an article about what a good man you were?

I just got something locked where I suggested someone might have murdered Robin Williams due to his political beliefs, as he went on tour dissing Bush, they have another war coming up and Jeb planning to run so they wanted him out of the way.

Can someone point me to where he got help for depression, not alcohol treatment?

From everything I read he said he was an alcoholic, alcohol was his problem. He was self medicating his anxiety.

He did not ever say he was depressed or suicidal.

Profound depression and hopelessness is often part of the mix, especially exacerbated when someone starts drinking again.

Shit, look at Hemingway.

as that. YOU OTOH, will cause people to DANCE...yes that is right...DANCE in the streets when your dumb RWing ass croaks! I think what we have here is some jealousy at all the attention Williams is getting, while Rush KNOWS he will get just the opposite on His Day!
