I listen to Rush once in awhile. He is a master of satire. Usually these "outrageous" things that he says are void of the context of satire when reported on a message board like this. If you miss how he sets up the satire.......well then you don't get it.
That being said, he did cross a line with the Sandra Fluck thing.
OK, what is the "satire" of calling Obama a rat and then denying he's making a personal attack???

RUSH: I am not holding Obama up as an object of abuse.

RUSH: I call Obama a squirrel. What's a squirrel? Nothing but a rat with better PR.

RUSH: What sharply personal attacks? All they are is people telling the truth about the little squirrel. What personal attacks? "Well, see, Rush, there you go, that's a personal attack right there." No, no, no, no. Not a personal attack
I tell Limbaugh what to say.
