Missouri's Republican lawmakers want to memorialize Rush Limbaugh, a conservative talk show host who defined the genre and died earlier this year, with a day in his honor.

Rush was a fine American who supported Law and Order, and respected the Rights of all honorable people. He deserves this Honor. He was not the person the liberals say he was. He was better than most of those calling him names.

Debra Riffle

It would be impossible to get a nation, divided as ours is, to agree on the size of a postage stamp, much less on who deserves to have a day of recognition. Rush Limbaugh was the voice for many who felt shut out of main stream media. He deserves to be recognized in this way.

Cindy Evans

Rush is a native Missourian who had a major impact on our state and nation. Whether you agreed with him or not, he impacted our nation and culture, and should be recognized for that achievement.

Opponents say Limbaugh's status as a native son is not a point of pride for Missouri. They say his divisive rhetoric has contributed to a contentious political atmosphere.

For what reason? What a clown 🤡 I have to be nice 😊

It doesn't surprise me. I live in Missouri where ignorance and stupidity is a Olympic sport. Many of us our humiliated by Limbaugh et al. If he gets a " day" from our legislature, so too should a piece of dog feces.

Denzel TW

What makes him sooo special he deserves a day

Sarah Perry

I do not feel he represents Missouri well.

Ed South

How despicable, the man was stuck in the capitol at midnight to have a statue in his name placed there. How much in taxes has he paid to Missouri. Guessing 0.

Cecil Schick

He's no one special

Chad W

Exactly the type of person I DONT want my kids to be.

Robert Cone

This man was nothing more than a hate monger and made his living promoting such. He should have never had his bust in our capital let alone a rush limbaugh day.

Max

He would never get a fair evaluation in the liberal confines of Columbia.

Kim h

I agree with what everyone is saying about him. Why people would even consider this person is outrageous. Not a role model to be honored

Max

You obviously don't agree with those that like Rush.

Wendi Newman

Why would anyone want to honor such a vile man?

DENNIS WRIGHT

He doesn't deserve it!! Anyone who lies like that doesn't deserve to be honored! Are we really going to honor people like this? Another step backwards!!

Mary Ann Pulley

This man spewed division, racism, misogynistic, false information, and ungodly behaviors!

Max

Like Maxine Waters?

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
