Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.
Limbaugh's wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show.
The radio icon learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First lady Melania Trump then presented America’s highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in an emotional moment.

Single-handedly saved AM radio, and conservatism, too!

RIP Rush, you fought an epic battle, and you took no prisoners. You pioneered the way for most of the right wing talk hosts, even starting most of their careers. May God's peace be with your lovely wife and your family.

RIP Rush. May God hold you in his arms. You inspired millions to follow a conservative path and we thank you for it. And for the ones of us remaining to carry on may we ignore the filth that will be spewed from the msm harpies.

Sitting in my office crying my heart out. We knew this day was not far off but it’s still a shock. I can’t imagine life without Rush.
God bless you Rush and welcome you into his loving arms. You will live on in our hearts and we will always treasure your memory and everything you did for us for over 3 decades. We love you!

Thank you Rush for your tireless pursuit of broadcast excellence, promotion of the ideals that made America great and for exposing the left as the godless, hateful hypocrites they are. I pray God's peace and strength over his wife, brother and staff.

I'm crying now for both Rush and my late husband Walter. It was Rush who made Walter realize that he was a conservative, not a democrat and made out marriage much better. God bless them both in heaven.

It was clear since last week that it would be any time now. But no amount of notice can alleviate the sadness at this loss. I have been grateful for the tone and tenor of Todd Herman this past week.
Radio will never be the same. America iwllnever be the same.

God bless you, Rush, and RIP. My sincere condolences and sympathies to you, Kathryn, and the rest of Rush's family. I'll be praying for you all in the days ahead.
I'm comforted to know that Rush knew his Savior, Jesus Christ, and is now more alive than ever in heaven. I look forward to the day when I see Rush there and shake his hand. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll give him the biggest bear hug! He has been like a brother, a member of my family for many years. I looked forward to hearing Rush's voice every weekday...finally someone saying what I believed. I'll miss you, Rush. There will never be another like you. Godspeed.

It is difficult to express what this one man meant to me. He had a huge influence on my life, taught me how to express conservatism, and taught me most of what I know about civics. Not sure where this nation would be without his voice all these years. He will leave a huge hole to fill for sure.

I just got home from the gym and slumped down in my home office to see this. It's hard. Rush had recently commented that his days were numbered. He wasn't kidding and I didn't want to believe it. The El Rusbo has now entered eternal life in the loving care of our Creator.
Rush was one of a kind. So many memories from his life and program. We can expect President Trump to offer some words if he hasn't already. Rest in Peace, sir.

I'm so glad Rush received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Trump. It was obvious he was overwhelmed and treasured it. RIP Sir, you will be missed.

Highway Star by Deep Purple is a terrific song from the early 70’s. I am thinking of the tens of millions of motorists who drove incalculable distances with The Rush Limbaugh Program playing on their car radios. Rush was a star, a highway star. R.I.P.

Rush changed my life, and so many others. I was brought up to be a Democrat, in a state that would elect Satan if he had a "D" next to his name. I moved away and picked up Rush in the late 80's and never stopped listening. Rush always said he was "talent on loan from GOD...". Today, when he met St, Peter he was told that the loan was paid in full and the Pearly Gates opened wide.

I am so sad to hear this, I kept praying for a miracle, but God has His reasons. America has lost a great American. Comforting to know he's in Heaven with His Creator. He will be missed.
