Conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh remained in "good, stable condition" Thursday after he was admitted to a Hawaii hospital for chest pains.

Limbaugh's guest host Walter Williams told listeners the talk radio king "continues to rest very comfortably" at a Honolulu hospital, where doctors planned a complete medical exam.

His medical scare fueled a flurry of reactions - from fans and foes. "I'd donate a heart to keep Rush alive," wrote conservative blogger Dan Riehl. "Just need a knife and a liberal close by."

I don't care who you are...that is just funny as hell.

Unusual southerly winds recently have covered the islands with VOG - volcanic haze. It was bad enough yesterday that I could taste the sulfer in the morning air. This VOG will adversely affect some people with breathing problems. It may be that Rush experienced chest pains or the onset of a heart attack as a result of the VOG.

In a few more hours we will go into the next year, and two things will remain the same.

-We will still have Rush, a good and successful man, a patriot.

-ABC will still be a disgrace, going broker by the day and remain an organization of and for traitors.

I haven’t prayed for a long time and I am not religious, but, I prayed last night for his health. I also prayed for America and the rest of the world (except for the liberals) :D

Hey, I believe as much as anyone on this thread that prayers up are prayers answered for Rush. Grateful am I.

But... what if... Rush may have exaggerated his reported condition just the teensiest little bit, in order to provoke the savage heartless bloodthirsty wishes for his demise that have in fact occurred in great abundance on MoveOn, DUmmies, and other leftie websites?

Wish Rush the absolute best and with all the blessings that a new marriage can bring. His Monday show, however, will be charged to the muzzle (old artillery term) with all the liberal vitriol unleashed against him these last twenty four hours.

“This is the face of the enemy” will be Rush’s theme, I predict.

Looking forward with both great anticipation and dittos.

My suspicion is that he had chest pains due to lack of Potassium. When dieting, one loses a lot of fluid and Potassium.

I get chest pains that start in my jaw. After taking a swig of liquid potassium and rehydrate and I am good as new.

But ABC said he said he was on meds for back pain. Surely that’s a violation of confidentiality.

FReepers mentioned that Rush had talked about back pain during his program. He may also have said himself that he is taking pain meds for it.

If Rush has said it on the radio, I don't think confidentiality is an issue.

All Rush’s team has reported is that he had chest pains. they didn’t even say a heart attack. He may have had one, but no word on it. How do you exagerate “chest pains”?

I'm starting to worry that Rush's condition might be worse than we are being told. I thought he might call into the show today, I realize that's probably not his first concern laying in hospital bed though. Then Walter Williams kept carefully repeating word for word what sounded like a prepared statement about Rush's condition and promising updates that never came.

I'm not saying he's knocking on death's door or in a coma. But I don't think he's lounging in bed watching TV and cracking jokes either...

BUT.....they implied he told the ambulance people that “I’m on meds for back pain” and then ABC continued to his substance abuse issues....

I’m worried about Rush, frankly. I hope that it’s a good sign that officials have not confirmed a heart attack, but I’d really like more information right now. Prayerfully, Bob

That’s what has happened to a number of people I know who had heart attacks. They have done wonderfully well for years afterwards. Praying for all to be well with Rush’s health and safety.

I heard him when day when he was in severe pain and he remarked that, “I can’t take painkillers.”

Whether he got desperate enough to take something, I don’t know, but I doubt it.
