I see a lot of people who are doing revisionism now that Rush Limbaugh has passed away. So I will post here some of Rush Limbaugh's most notorious quotes (dates included)

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
(1990)
“Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?”
(Comments made while displaying a picture of Chelsea Clinton, then a 13-year-old, on his TV show in 1994)
"Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud."
(1994)
“When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.”
(1994)
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."
(2005)
"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."
(2004)
"Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier."
(2005)
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
(2006 on Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson's Disease)
“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."
(2007)
"Obama's America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety. But in Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering "Yay! Right on, right on, right on, right on."
(2009)
"Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, what's to complain about?"
(2009)
"Everything in Africa's called AIDS. The reason is they get aid money for it. AIDS is the biggest pile of-the biggest pot they throw money into."
(2009)
"Liberals should not be allowed to buy guns, nor should they be allowed to use computer keyboards or typewriters, word processors or e-mails, and they should have their speech controlled. If we did those three or four things, I can’t tell you what a sane, calm, civil, fun-loving-
society we would have. Take guns out of the possession, out of the hands of liberals, take their typewriters and their keyboards away from ‘em, don’t let ‘em anywhere near a gun, and control their speech. You would wipe out 90% of the crime, 85 to 95% of the hate, and a hundred-
percent of the lies from society.”
(Comments made in the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting on his radio program on January 18, 2011)
"'Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba.'"
("translating" Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2011)
"There's rioting in the streets now! And there's going to be more rioting in the streets because that's part of the program here. And next up there are going to be race riots, I guarantee it. Race riots are part of the plan that this regime has. That's next."
(2011 on Obama)
"Beyonce used to be the lead for a three-girl group called Destiny’s Child, and their songs were attempts to inspire young women not to take any grief from men… Beyonce’s now saying, 'Go ahead and put up with it.' And you know why? Because she got married-
She’s married to a rich guy… She now understands it’s worth it to bow down."
(Misinterpreting Beyonce's "Bow Down" single on his radio program on March 22, 2013)
"Obama says he's a Christian, but where's the evidence?"
(2010)
"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute."
(On Susan Fluke's Testimony for contraceptives)
"If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians."
(2013)
“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

This comment, made to an African-American caller, pre-dates his syndicated radio show days, but it's too outrageous not to mention.
I could do this all day. I could talk about his calls to take away free speech, property, and voting rights from immigrants, his "sports commentary", or any other number of comments.
