It Appears That Someone Urinated on Rush Limbaugh's Grave

https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/it-appears-that-someone-urinated-on-rush-limbaughs-grave-39565153

Well, it was bound to happen. It appears that Rush Limbaugh’s gravesite has become a gender-neutral bathroom.

The unrepentant bigot died on February 17, 2021 and was buried in St. Louis’ famed Bellefontaine Cemetery (4947 West Florissant Avenue). At the time, we found it interesting that an extreme homophobe like Rush Limbaugh would choose Bellefontaine, where he’d have his body laid next to a gay icon like William Burroughs for all eternity, but we guess he had his reasons.

While many people used the recent anniversary of Limbaugh’s death as an opportunity to remember that he died (that’s what we do every time we get Rush-related hate mail), others have taken a moment to send their congratulations to Limbaugh for being two years sober. Brutal.

A recent post on Reddit seems to indicate that fans and foes have found Limbaugh’s resting place and are using it as a restroom place. Posted six months ago, a supposed “cousin” of Limbaugh’s shared a photo of his headstone surrounded by tiny American flags and splashed with some sort of liquid.

Probably never come out with any cleaning. I was expecting more than a few spots, though.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the first time Limbaugh's "cousin" visited his grave since he was buried. Regardless of the frequency of visits, his observations are just a snapshot of what has been going on there over the years. No telling how many times that tombstone has been pissed on. Not to mention that it does rain in St. Louis, and stuff gets washed away.

Now that people are reminded where he's buried, I'm betting there will be lots more wet spots there, along with some "Number Two."

For years Limabaugh blew smoke in our faces with his "f*** your feelings" barrage of vile propaganda. I tell you I, I am absolutely SHOCKED to hear that people are paying homage to him in this way!

Now, not any do I know where he's buried, but I'm actually familiar with Bellefontain.
It's only about three hours away. I could go visit Burroughs again.

they're either going to have to put it a secret place, BUILD THE WALL around it, or make it a latrine. should probably have flushing toilets available as well.

I’m saving all my piss for the trump site, but he likes that kind of thing, some say.
Maybe pour gas on it and light it, his other favorite last time. But “gas lighting” that pile of grease would be hazardous to our ozone, it would burn for years with toxic fumes. Oh, and fuck you Rusty Limpballs.

Payed My Respects To Cousin Rush



One of my family shames is that we are related to Rush Limbaugh. According to my grandfather, Rush was always a real piece of shit, even as a kid. As a queer person, I knew I had to pay my cousin his proper respect. Enjoy!

As someone who loves cemetery exploration, I find this disturbing. It’s never okay to desecrate headstones, regardless of how vile the person who is buried there was.

In life, Limbaugh was a loud-mouthed asshole with no empathy. However, he’s dead and gone. Cemeteries are supposed to be sacred places to honor the dead.

This is disrespectful all around. It’s a trashy insult to everyone else buried there too. Cemeteries are fragile and are vandalized constantly by people who refuse to treat them with respect. Please stop celebrating this.
