He certainly wasn't. I asked AI if Limbaugh was a hater.... Rush Limbaugh's career was characterized by frequent use of language that critics, media outlets, and advocacy groups widely condemned as hate speech, including remarks described as racist, sexist, homophobic, and misogynistic. He died in February 2021, but his legacy and influence on the use of divisive rhetoric in American media continue to be discussed. Examples of comments widely cited as hate speech or highly controversial include: Race He frequently made race-related comments and promoted conspiracy theories. He referred to then-Senator Barack Obama as "Barack, the Magic Negro" in a parody song and implied that the media was biased in favor of Black athletes like Donovan McNabb. He claimed that "all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson". Women Limbaugh often demeaned women, calling them "femi-Nazis," "babes," "sluts," and "prostitutes". In a widely publicized incident, he repeatedly attacked Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke for advocating for contraceptive coverage, leading to advertiser boycotts and a public apology. LGBTQ+ Community He made numerous anti-LGBTQ+ statements, including referring to a transgender college student as an "add-a-dick-to-me babe" and suggesting that the legalization of gay marriage would lead to bestiality or pedophilia. In the 1980s and 90s, he ran "AIDS Update" segments that mocked the deaths of gay individuals from HIV/AIDS. Other Groups Limbaugh also targeted other groups, making fun of Labor Secretary Robert Reich's height due to a bone disease, suggesting Michael J. Fox was "acting" his Parkinson's symptoms for a political ad, and mocking the Chinese language with stereotypical sounds while discussing President Hu Jintao. Throughout his career, Limbaugh often defended his statements as humor or satire, but critics argued that his language normalized hatred and was aimed at the powerless.
