Some damaging arguments (and links to sources) in this diatribe:

To fall under the rule of Limbaugh means that the Republicans have sealed their status as the party of race-baiting. In Limbaugh's world, Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama ( blogs.abcnews.com ) simply because Obama is black ( bobcesca.com ) -- excuse me, Halfrican American ( mediamatters.org ). In Limbaugh's world, all blacks say "axe" instead of "ask." ( fair.org ) In Limbaugh's world, it's hilarious to pronounce Mayor Ray Nagin's name as Mayor Nay-ger. ( movies.crooksandliars.com ) In Limbaugh's world, black contestants on Survivor are at a disadvantage because "blacks can't swim." ( mediamatters.org )

To fall under the rule of Limbaugh means that the Republicans have become the party of sexism. In Limbaugh's world, women who seek equal rights are making up for the fact that they're "ugly." In Limbaugh's world, it's hilarious to compare pubescent teenage girls to "the family dog." ( motherjones.com )

In Limbaugh's world, women live longer because their lives are somehow "easier." ( mediamatters.org ) I can't imagine that would apply to Limbaugh's three ex-wives, but okay.

To fall under the rule of Limbaugh means that the Republicans have become the party of comparing torture to fraternity pranks. ( mediamatters.org ) They've become the party of multiple divorces. The party of Oxycontin addiction. The party of "phony soldiers." ( mediamatters.org ) The party of mysterious all-male excursions to foreign nations while in possession of erectile dysfunction medication prescribed under a false name. ( thesmokinggun.com ) They've become the party of wild conspiracy theories like the one Limbaugh was repeating in October -- maybe you've heard this one. Did you know that Barack Obama traveled to Hawaii, not to visit his then-gravely ill grandmother, but instead to participate in the cover-up of his secret birth certificate? ( bobcesca.com )
