At that point in the conversation Rush didn't even mention Robin Williams' suicide. The caller didn't even mention why Robin Williams killed himself.
It takes following along the conversation to see that it's exactly what he's doing. It takes an awful degree of rationalization to NOT see what he's saying. Then again, we know conservatives have trouble with satire, so the basic aspects of reading may elude you. Keller's onto something.Quote:

I apologize if what I said hurt your feelings. It's a hard truth that I think you'd better learn.Quote:

I know WB hates bolded words when they are used against him but I'm sorry WB, I must.
LIMBAUGH: So our last caller from Des Plaines, Illinois, wanted to know, “What is the politics in the coverage of the suicide of Robin Williams?” Well, I believe there is some. But I don’t think that the politics is driving it. I think there was, on the part of media and Hollywood, genuine affection for the guy that is driving it, but there is politics. If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough.
“He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn’t.” Now, what is the left’s worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they? They’re always angry about something. No matter what they get, they’re always angry.
They are animated in large part by the false promises of America, because the promises of America are not for everyone, as we see each and every day. I mean, right here there’s a story Fox News website. Do you know, it says right here, that the real reasons that Robin Williams killed himself are he was embarrassed at having to take television roles after a sterling movie career.
I've bolded the parts where Rush was transitioning to a different topic.
At this point I fell I should go the route Keller went and start charging for my services; I'm working at least 5 times as hard as he did.

Come on. You are purposefully misreading this at this point. No other explanation.
It's background while I play games and surf teh internets. I very rarely ever passively watch TV on the couch.Quote:

The answer is - "There is politics, but it is not in the coverage of the story. The coverage is based on the media's genuine affection for Williams. But there is politics in the story. The politics is that Williams had it all but was still unhappy. Unhappiness is a leftist trait."
Seriously - you might need to hire a private tutor at this point. You can't keep monopolizing the class's time like this.
