In my opinion, these two cases are comparing apples and oranges.
Those who celebrated RBG's death did so as a result of her ACTIONS, and the effects that these actions have or could have upon their lives.
Whereas those currently celebrating the death of Rush, are celebrating because they disagreed with his OPINIONS, which they could have completely ignored and not allow to effect their lives.
As for myself, when RBG died I watched the crab rave video, and said to myself "she's dead, good riddance" at which point I no longer cared.
The primary difference, other than one hated for actions the other for opinions, is the direction of the celebrations, the majority of the celebrations over RBG would have been primarily for making memes and amusing people. Whereas the celebrating over Rush is directed towards those who are grieving, and primarily out of spite and malice.
Intent should always matter, as should the difference b/t actions and opinions.
