Limbaugh and Hannity routinely claim Republican credit for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964- I think it actually became law in '65. Limbaugh was certainly alive then as he is my age.

There is nothing inaccurate with this claim, other than it was the now largely defunct liberal wing of the GOP that passed the bill. Javits, Rockefeller, Percy, that crowd. Rush can claim them if he wants. They just didn't happen to be remotely conservative, in fact they were bitterly opposed to Barry Goldwater. I've yet to hear him acknowledge this. He may not even know it, which wouldn't surprise me.
