~Rush Limbaugh, 1994 List of 35 Undeniable Truths
2. If you feed them, if you feed the children, three square meals a day during the school year, how can you expect them to feed themselves in the summer? Wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the State. Pure and simple.
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, December 2011
3. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, August 12, 2005
4. Lets say we discover the gene that says the kids gonna be gay. How many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? Well, you dont know but lets say half of them said, Oh, no, I dont wanna do that to a kid. [Then the] gay community finds out about this. The gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life faster than anybody youve ever seen.
Theyd be so against abortion if it was discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies.

5. The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. Its natural. Its as natural as the ocean water is. Rush Limbaugh, on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and refuting science, May 3, 2010

8. Exercise freaks

9. What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] 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. She wants to be paid to have sex. Shes having so much sex she cant afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.
~Rush Limbaugh, referring to Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown Law School who was denied the right to speak at a congressional hearing on contraception hearing, in which she planned to discuss a friend of hers who needed contraception to prevent the growth of cysts, February 29, 2012
10. A Georgetown coed told Nancy Pelosis hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex theyre going broke, so you and I should have to pay for their birth control. So what would you call that? I called it what it is. So, Im offering a compromise today: I will buy all of the women at Georgetown University as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want.
So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, heres the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, March 1, 2012
11. Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.
~Rush Limbaugh, radio show, Fall 1993
12. It doesnt look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary dietary advice. And then we hear that shes out eating ribs at 1500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat
No, Im trying to say that our first lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you.
~Rush Limbaugh, Feb. 21, 2011
13. These were highly civil comments for crying out loud. I mean, people are going nuts. USA Today, the Politico. And some people were suggesting that my comments were below the belt. Well, take a look at some pictures. Given where she wears her belts. I mean, she wears them high up there around the bust line. Isnt just about everything about her below the belt when you look at the fashion sense she has?
~Rush Limbaugh, after being criticized for making derogatory comments about First Lady Michelle Obamas weight, Feb. 22, 2011
14. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
~Rush Limbaugh, basically saying that all wanted criminals are black people on his radio show in the early 1990s.
15. Im a huge supporter of women. What Im not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose. Feminism has led women astray. I love the womens movement especially when walking behind it.
~Rush Limbaugh, responding to criticism that he is sexist and defending his selection as one of the judges at the 2010 Miss America Pageant, Fox News Fox & Friends, February 3, 2010
16. Were not sexists, were chauvinists were male chauvinist pigs, and were happy to be because we think thats what men were destined to be. We think thats what women want.
~Rush Limbaugh, claiming that women want men to be assholes, April 15, 2004
17. Given the National Organization for Womens membership and proclivities, its no wonder that people now view the NOW gang as being obsessed with only two issues: abortion rights and lesbian rights.
I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. The term describes any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a modern-day holocaust: abortion.
A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed. Their unspoken reasoning is quite simple. Abortion is the single greatest avenue for militant women to exercise their quest for power and advance their belief that men arent necessary. Nothing matter but me, says the feminazi; the is an unviable tissue mass. Feminazis have adopted abortion as a kind of sacrament for their religion/politics of alienation and bitterness.
~Rush Limbaugh, The Way Things Ought To Be, p.192-93 , 1992
18. There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?
~Rush Limbaugh, See, I Told You So, p.68, November 1993
19. From this day forward, somebody propose it, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns. Its just that simple. Liberals should have their speech controlled and not be allowed to buy guns. I mean if we want to get serious about this, if we want to face this head on, were gonna have to openly admit, 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 cant 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, dont 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.
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, January 2011
20. Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Nothing wrong with saturated fats.
~Rush Limbaugh, disputing science despite his own hospitalization back in 2009 for chest pains, March 8, 2011
21. Obama is a clown. You dont have to be a scientist to know that the President doesnt know what hes talking about when he says fossil fuels are the energy of the past. We have more oil than we need. Well never run out of it. Its all weve got.
~Rush Limbaugh, saying the world has unlimited oil despite what geologists and other scientists say, March 8, 2011
22. You know, one of the benefits of school being out, in addition to your kids losing weight because theyre starving to death out there because theres no school meal being provided, one of the benefits of school being out, college campi being vacant this time of year, is that our audience levels go up. I think, you know what were going to do here, were going to start a feature on this program: Where to find food. For young demographics, where to find food. Now that school is out, where to find food. We can have a daily feature on this. And this will take us all the way through the summer. Where to find food. And, of course, the first will be: Try your house. Its a thing called the refrigerator. You probably already know about it. Try looking there.
~Rush Limbaugh, denigrating poor children, June 16, 2010
23. [S]ome people are self-starters, and some people are born lazy. Some people are born victims. Some people are just born to be slaves. Some people are born to put up with somebody else making every decision for them.
~Rush Limbaugh, talking about economic inequality, October 8, 2010
24. Public and private polling indicates that Ohioans, by a substantial margin, want to overturn the new law. Which means, if this is true, that people in Ohio want to rape themselves
~Rush Limbaugh, comparing the repeal of anti-union laws to rape, November 7, 2011
25. What is it with all of these young, single white women? Overeducated- doesnt mean intelligent.

27. You just gotta be who you are, and I think its 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.
~Rush Limbaugh, another racist comment, December 8, 2004
28. Holocaust? Ninety million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos whats to complain about?
~Rush Limbaugh, making yet another racist statement, September 25, 2009. There once was 15 million Native Americans in North America. After the centuries of genocidal policies, Native Americans were nearly wiped out, with only 250,000 left by the end of the 19 Century. There are in fact, about 2 million today, but casinos hardly make up for the near extinction.
29. [T]he nags
the national association of gals, thats our pet name for the NOW gang
the nags are a bunch of whores to liberalism.
~Rush Limbaugh, another attack on women, October 14, 2010
30. To some people, bankers code word for Jewish and guess who Obamas assaulting? Hes assaulting bankers. Hes assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if theres starting to be some buyers remorse there.
~Rush Limbaugh, stereotyping Jewish people, January 20, 2010
31. Do you know we have more acreage of forest land in the United States today than we did at the time the Constitution was written.
~Rush Limbaugh, ignorant of the fact that when the Constitution was written, the United States consisted of 13 colonies along the East Coast, February 18, 1994
32. The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them.
~Rush Limbaugh, advocating for blowing up the world.
33. Citizen service is a repudiation of the principles upon which our country was based. We are all here for ourselves.
~Rush Limbaugh, selfishly saying that we should never serve our fellow citizens unless we get something for it.
34. I think this reason why girls dont do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, whats it going to be? We all know what was chosen.
~Rush Limbaugh, making another degrading comment about women, February 23, 1994
35. When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; its an invitation.
