"We love people." That is, according to Rush Limbaugh, the core value of conservative America as he expressed it before an enthusiastic crowd during the last Conservative Political Action Conference. Honestly, I don't really know how much truth there is in such a statement. What I do know is that the interlocutor wasn't the right one.
For most of his career, as a right wing radio personality, Rush Limbaugh has become famous for his denigrant attacks against all those who don't fit in his ideal image of the world. From his racist statements to his contempt for human rights (he believes Guantanamo is just a tropical resort for Muslim terrorists), Rush Limbaugh represents the ugliest side of American conservatism.
If the GOP is willing to flirt with Limbaugh it better be prepared to pay a high political and moral price. It's time that Republicans start doing something about the assault on their party!
