People love Rush, no one would just give a lung to a Democrat, no they have to kill for one.

Wow - I had missed what the guy offered only that Rush was choking up over it.

Dems would just target you and take one from you.

I was listening that day when this happened. Bo Snerdley told Rush he was getting 2 such offers a day.

He probably meant it. Reminds me of a story by a guy who thought he knew wild mushrooms, but didn’t. Ate a poisonous one and had severe kidney damage. He destroyed one of his kidneys and his daughter donated one of hers to keep him alive. Guess who he was.

Not to sound insensitive, because I have been listening to Rush since approximately 1990, therefore I am a devotee and have great admiration and respect for him...but...

If this courageous and generous fan can help Rush by this extremely kind and loving offer; he and Rush better get to it because at age 70 one can no longer receive an organ transplant in the USA. Rush will be seventy on 1/12/2021.

I know this because I am precisely 26,406 days old (about 72.25 years) and am aware of this "extreme age" restriction that our brilliant government critters have instituted, at 70 one is only useful to the trash heap.

I harken back to the Obamacare "death panel".

He’s lost a lot of weight , which is to be expected. I hope he is getting the best treatment available to mankind.

Mark Steyn was hosting for Rush and talking about the multiple offers for lung donations the other day. Steyn said if this keeps up, they will need to have “Open Lung Friday.”

The problem with Stage 4 lung cancer is not the lung; it’s that it has spread to other vital organs like the liver. You can’t replace enough stuff to get rid of the cancer.

Wonder what Snerdley said to the caller? What could he say?

Stage IV means spread to the lymph nodes, metastasis. Replacing the primary organ, while a sweet gesture on the caller’s part, won’t make much of a difference.

The cancer needs to be eradicated from the blood and lymphatic system. That’s a tall order. Hoping for the best.

The next caller suggested “dead in my tracks” wasn’t the right choice of words.

You know what's amazing, is that there really hasn't been any of the usual left-wing fecal matter spewing hatred at Rush over his announcement. I mean, you had one-offs like Bette Midler and the usual liberal trolls on Twitter. But I haven't seen any Democrats or media heads making fun of Rush when he announced his diagnosis.

I think liberals deep down respect Rush. They might hate his guts, but they respect him, and it's better to be feared than to be hated and become a chump like George W. Bush.

Unfortunately its not just a lung issue

It’s so sad...I’m ambivalent when I listen

Torn being between enjoying it and feeling guilty knowing how he must feel

It just sucks

I remember a few weeks ago wondering how long Rush would do this

Listener more or less since late 88

When are they going to make lungs from 3-D printers? Would that even work?
