Rush on the NFL...,."the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons."
Rush defending Ronald Reagan's AIDS policy "it did not spread to the heterosexual community."
Rush on rape....."How many of you guys . . . have learned that 'no' means 'yes' if you know how to spot it?”
Rush in 1995....."too many whites are getting away with drug use". (cut a plea deal to avoid going to trial on prescription fraud charges in 2003)
Rush on feminism.... "it was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."....
On February 29, 2012, Limbaugh, while talking about contraceptive mandates, included remarks about law student Sandra Fluke as a "slut" and "prostitute." Limbaugh was commenting on Fluke's speech the previous week to House Democrats in support of mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives. Limbaugh made numerous similar statements over the next two days, leading to the loss of 45 local and national sponsors and Limbaugh's apology on his show for some of his comments.
Rush on Weapons of Mass Destruction and Iraq war. Insisted they existed even when none were found. Later claimed the evidence of WMD was fabricated just to set up George Bush. (Se what I mean about rubes believing anything)
During 2014 Ebola scare Rush accused Obama of intentionally allowing Ebola to be transferred to the United Sates because of guilt over slavery..... "People at the highest levels of our government say 'Why, why shouldn't we get it? Why should only those three nations in Africa get it? We're no better than they are.' And they have this attitude, 'Well, if they have it in Africa, by God, we deserve to get it, because they're in Africa because of us and because of slavery.'"
Crazy conspiracy theories.....
- The FBI investigations of Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort as well as the subsequent Special Counsel investigation directed by Robert Mueller were orchestrated by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party to undermine the legitimacy of Trump's presidency and constituted an illegal coup d'état.
-Eco-terrorists intentionally destroyed Deepwater Horizon
-The police response to the violence at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville was deliberately restrained by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe as a botched attempt to start a presidential bid in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, and that it was part of a campaign by "international financiers" such as George Soros to start a second civil war in the United States to remove its status as a global superpower.
-The October 2018 United States mail bombing attempts were perpetuated as a false-flag operation to draw public attention away from Central American migrant caravans. He reiterated these claims two weeks after the arrest of the primary suspect Cesar Sayoc, a registered Republican.
-The Christchurch mosque shootings of March 2019 may have been a false-flag operation. Limbaugh described "an ongoing theory" that the shooter was actually "a leftist" trying to smear the right. Despite providing no source or evidence, Limbaugh continued: "... you can't immediately discount this. The left is this insane, they are this crazy."
Of Limbaugh's controversial statements and allegations they have investigated, Politifact has rated 84% as ranging from "Mostly False" to "Pants-On-Fire" (a signification for extremely false), with 5% of Limbaugh's contested statements rising to the level of "Mostly True" and 0% rated "True." These debunked allegations by Limbaugh include suggestions that the existence of gorillas disproves the theory of evolution, that Ted Kennedy sent a letter to Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov seeking to undercut President Reagan, that a recent lack of hurricanes disproves climate change, and that President Obama wanted to mandate circumcision.
On October 14, 2011, Limbaugh questioned the U.S. military initiative against Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), based on the assumption that they were Christians. "They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them." Upon learning about the accusations leveled against Kony, which included kidnapping whole schools of young children for use as child soldiers, Limbaugh stated that he would research the group, but never changed his position.
