Liberal Twitter Users Rejoice at Rush Limbaugh’s Hospitalization

31 Dec 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I just read the news on TMZ that Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital with chest pains while vacationing in Hawaii. The story was about an hour old and didn’t have many details so I searched Twitter to see if people on the scene would have more news.

I didn’t see any further information but I am amazed at how dominant haters of conservatives are on Twitter. They seem so proud to voice their rather baseless opinions. Most Twitter posters seem to hope Limbaugh dies! They seem to think Limbaugh (and all conservatives) are full of hate. I know that is untrue because I am a conservative and conservatives I know are about individual freedom and less government, not hate. But, that’s besides the point.

The real issue to me is why can’t Twitter posts be about information, informed opinion and thoughtful disagreement instead of bashing, group think and hate. This kind of knee jerk twitterism is useful for nothing and makes a great service like Twitter less great.

Here are a few sample hate tweets taken from thousands about Rush Limbaugh:

Key_Air_Uh: Rush Limbaugh might be dieing? My Christmas wish came true!

MaxCJensen: PLEASE USE HASHTAG #DIERUSHDIE IF YOU HOPE RUSH LIMBAUGH DIES. DONT BE ASHAMED, IT IS FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF AMERICA.

DevinBlake: Rush Limbaugh in the hospital with chest pains, please let this be the end of his reign!!! This would be a great end to the decade!!!

aramina: FOR THE RECORD, UNIVERSE, IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO START THE NEW YEAR WITHOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH AROUND. JS.

Bane117: Rush Limbaugh rushed to hospital w/ chest pains. Santa actually listened this year.

It may mean someone accidentally added some spaces, or perhaps that you were reading the message in a software program that was not able to handle HTML

As others have noted "nbsp" is used to stand for "non-breaking space", used when you want to create some extra space in a line e.g., in a table. (If you type ordinary spaces with the keyboard HTML will not pay any attention to any beyond the first. Thus, although I just typed TEN spaces before this sentence, what YOU see has just ONE space.)

The actual HTML code for such things, including many symbols is always begun with and ampersand (&) and closed with a semicolon (;) But, if someone forgets to separate them it can end up looking something like this:
