"On his April 29, 1994 radio program Limbaugh stated, "There is no conclusive proof that nicotine's addictive...and the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease."
He stated this despite the fact that the U.S. Surgeon General's Report of 1988 declared the nicotine in cigarettes to be an addictive substance, the 1984 Surgeon General's report definitively linked smoking with emphysema, and the 1964 report linked it with lung cancer.
A 2000 R.J. Reynolds report titled "'Reframing the Debate' Communications Plan" lists a goal of "Shifting the debate and framework under which cigarette-related issues are evaluated in the future."
RJR's plan lists Rush Limbaugh as a selected media outlet to approach for assistance in carrying out this plan.""

Why kick someone when they are down regardless of their views.
So he showed a little kindness and empathy is there anything wrong with that.
Though she is young and it is very unlikely at this stage in her life any serious issue
might arise. Say of AOC suddenly announced she had a terminal illness. I would
show empathy and have sympathy for her plight. Just my .02

Here are five Limbaugh quotes.
Look for the compassion.
1.“There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive... And the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.”
2.“Columbus saved the Indians from themselves.”
3."He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
4.“[African Americans] are twelve percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
5.“Kurt Cobain was, ladies and gentlemen, a worthless shred of human debris.”

That's besides the point; I liken the current state of affairs in this country
as us being a bunch of rabid dogs cannibalizing one another.

It's good to sympathize with someone when they are down and hurting. But to award him the highest civilian honour of the nation was pure political self-adoration by Trump. You will probably now see previous recipients of the medal selling them at garage sales for the value of the ribbon, not the medal... or even the metal.

OMG, man -- you need context? What is it that you did not understand? Comprehension matters. It can't be dumbed down anymore than that. Get some help!
