Let's talk about Rush Limbaugh's "legacy," of upholding white supremacy and being the OG misinformation spreader in the modern age
As a broadcaster in the 70s, Rush told a black caller: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” After becoming nationally syndicated, he mused: “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?” https://fair.org/article/limbaugh-a-color-man-who-has-a-problem-with-color/
In 2004, again on air, Rush said "I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs." https://www.mediamatters.org/rush-limbaugh/limbaugh-nba-call-it-tba-thug-basketball-association-theyre-going-watch-crips-and
In 2007, again on air, Rush said “Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2007/01/19/the_classless_nfl_culture/
Rush "translating" the words of Chinese President Hu Jintao to his audience of millions in January 2011
There are literally too many examples of him being racist, bigoted, or simply spreading lies. I cannot catalogue it all because it would take me all day. Rush Limbaugh was an awful human being
Ok one more, Limbaugh was also a massive homophobe / transphobe, and said on air “When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.” He also regularly compared homosexuality / marriage equality to pedophilia. https://books.google.com/books?id=ZCy4-K4nar8C&pg=PA59&dq=%E2%80%9CWhen+a+gay+person+turns+his+back+on+you,+%E2%80%9D&hl=en&sa=X&ei=W6D5UcakBej84AO4tIDABw#v=onepage&q=%E2%80%9CWhen%20a%20gay%20person%20turns%20his%20back%20on%20you%2C%20%E2%80%9D&f=false
