The news of Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis on Monday shocked conservatives nationwide. Many took to social media to express their sadness at the news, and offer thoughts and prayers for the man who made talk radio what it is today.
Unfortunately, there were many on the left who were not sad or sympathetic to the news.
Hey on a positive note note, Rush Limbaugh has cancer.

No one should ever have to suffer from cancer. I can only hope Rush Limbaugh dies ASAP and burns in hell for eternity https://t.co/MOH8IPPXrJ

I watched my parents and brother die of cancer. I won’t shed tears for the likes of Rush Limbaugh. The world will be better without his everyday hate speech.
