It has been said that Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot. This is true. His world view is roughly 180 degrees not just from correct, but from right. My take on his fans has included anger, but with a healthy dose of sadness and disbelief mixed in. However, after Limbaugh has mocked those who have recently suffered through the earthquakes and tsumami in Japan and wondered if environmentalists would cheer the quake and its resulting carnage, my take is different. My view of him remains unchanged -- he is a worthless piece of garbage. My view of his followers, however, has hardened. You cannot be a fan of Rush Limbaugh -- you cannot even think it is okay to listen to him because some of what he says is correct -- and be a moral person. The two are simply incompatible. If you want to think that some of what he says is correct, fine. You are likely incorrect about this, but I am wrong about things, too. However, there is no defense for helping to perpetuate his cult of personality.
None.
