12/30/09: Obama's Followers Are an Ugly Lot

An open, running thread to document some of the nastiest Twitter responses to the news that Rush Limbaugh has been rushed to a hospital with chest pains. Leave whatever you find in the comments section.

Here goes:

@JamesAkersJr - Can someone with no heart actually have a heart attack??? Just a thought.

@Marnus3 BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh suffering from empathy blockage

@wiseguyeddie I do not wish death upon Rush. I just wish he would have been caught with a black hooker instead

@jasonrantz Not only do I hope Rush dies, but I hope every #tcot drinks a bottle of cancer as well

@ryan_mcrae "I hope he fails!" LMAO

@RafayAgha Maybe 2010 will be better than I thought!

@adamwanderman Maybe the "Year of the Celebrity Death" will end with a big one! A big, obnoxious, drug abusing one.

@lavishluxuri #RushLimbaugh is an idiot biggit #imjustsayin


@ALumpOfCoal Here's wishing Rush Limbaugh a long, painful hospital stay. Or, perhaps better, a short one.

@DJ84 #RushLimbaugh rushed to ER with possible for possible heart attack..Mixing Oxis with alcahol again I see.

@jaydestro if there is a god, rush limbaugh will not make it out of hawaii alive.

@mitchsamuels It be cooler to be the first celeb to die in 2010 than the last one in 2009, Hang in there Rush Limbaugh

UPDATE: 12:15am EST - That's enough for now. Documenting this stuff is disgusting. There is a huge difference between criticizing a policy or laughing at Joe Biden and wishing someone to die - ESPECIALLY when that person is lying in a hospital in what could be his final minutes on Earth.

If you wish Rush Limbaugh dead tonight, remember your hatred on the night when you take your last breath. Whatever you feel - if you feel anything at all - will be a small payback for the inhumane, childish way you behaved tonight.
