One of my rules: "Don't speak ill of the dead." Bad karma. There are exceptions.
I will keep this brief.
This man gained power, fame, influence and money railing against black folk, gays, women, liberals, Democrats, Hollywood. He was a powerful voice who used it to "punch down" on people with less. A bully, a loudmouth, he spent most of his radio career, stoking hatred, widening political division, and lying to his audience on a daily basis. He built a loyal fan-base, filled his listeners with disinformation. They are the folks who voted for Trump, those people who believe an alternate reality. Truly a disgrace, a plague, a scourge on America. A cloud of pernicious influence. A black cloud on politics and culture. What a waste of a life. A long-time smoker, he told us that smoking didn't cause cancer, he died of complications related to lung cancer. Oops. The airwaves are suddenly a bit less polluted. Good riddance.
