They weren't debunked he just denied saying them. Either way. There's plenty more instances of where that guy incites all sort of crazy rhetoric. He gaslights his listeners into thinking the left and what not are gonna eat their babies or something all the time.

Rush never hesitated to trash anyone he saw fit. Along with his whine was anger and anger will make you sick physically.
Perhaps it's the Good Lord sending Rush a message....you reap what you sow.
Didn't he talk # about RBG after she was diagnosed with cancer, and make fun of Michael J Fox for Parkinsons?
Karma is a bitch, but I wish cancer, or celebrate it, on no one.

It's a FACT that republicans have and have tried to cut aid to the poor, including Trump. And conversely, they ALWAYS cut taxes for the super-rich and rich
They just cut food stamps

Didnt care for him really. Sucks he got cancer.
Here's some of my favorite quotes from him, such a champion of the right wing.
1. “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
2. “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
3. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
4. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”
5. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
6. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
7. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
8. “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back (to an African American female caller).”
9. “I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.

Cant wait till Ginsburg dies, should be a fun night of name calling and good riddance-ing. I mean, all is fair right?
Liberals love to take money from folks they don’t know and give it to someone else they don’t know. Bureaucrats take their cut of this forced charity to pay for their wages, benefits, facilities, O&M, etc. It’s a way for liberals to feel good about themselves without personal sacrifice. Charity that strangers pay for.

It's funny the people who generalize about a whole group are bad because the actions of a few are haters themselves.
Civilized folks generally refrain from vitriol when someone may be deadly sick.
It's also civil NOT to blame a whole group for the actions of a few.

While I feel for the man getting cancer, let’s not forget that for years he sided with big tobacco claiming that there was no proof smoking caused cancer. That type of irony is inescapable.
And who knows how many idiots out there actually believed what he said and took the same position.
The funny part is watching right wingers who laugh and cackle to themselves about wanting prominent people on the left to die suddenly grow a heart when someone like Rush Limbaugh is on his way out.
If someone could build a machine that ran off of right wing hypocrisy we’d have solved the energy crisis.

I don't wish the Hell Limbaugh is going through on anyone.
That said, can anyone tell me why he deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
President Obama said, "The Presidential Medal of Freedom is not just our nation's highest civilian honor - it's a tribute to the idea that all of us, no matter where we come from, have the opportunity to change this country for the better. From scientists, philanthropists, and public servants to activists, athletes, and artists, these 21 individuals have helped push America forward, inspiring millions of people around the world along the way."
part of the 21 announced that day .... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elouise Cobell (posthumous),. Ellen DeGeneres, Robert De Niro, Bill & Melinda Gates, Tom Hanks ........
