NPR ran a series of audio clips--the "best of" Rush Limbaugh. They were his signature rants against liberals, women, environmentalists, Mexicans, liberals, Obama, people getting health care, liberals, the Clintons, and liberals. To him, anyone who cared about the environment was a "wacko" and anyone who supported democracy was part of the Deep State conspiracy to destroy the country.
What I found most disgusting, though, was his constant misogyny. His crude attacks on female politicians, feminism, and women's equality marked him as a relic of the nasty old white male stone age. His criticisms of Nancy Pelosi, for example, centered around the fact that she is a WOMAN. He characterized anyone who supported women's rights as a "feminazi."
The man was an utter piece of shit, I'm very happy he's dead, and I hope he suffered. His kind is slowly dying off, including all the nasty old white men who were titillated by his bombast and casual abhorrent expressions of hatred. He was given credit, if that's the proper word, for the GOP recapture of Congress in 1994 and certainly, had a lot to do with Trump's ascension in 2016. That just shows how much influence a media demagogue really has in this country, even if--especially if--he lies through his teeth for an hour every day.
