Showing Original Post only (View all)Rush Limbaugh coins a new term: Hispandering [View all]
Rush Limbaugh coins a new term: HispanderingTin-eared Rush has coined a new term that should make all the GOP shudder: Hispandering.
We may have a new theory why the GOP lost the Hispanic vote: the only Hispanics voting Republican are those who don't mind being insulted by Rush.
Hispanics should not feel alone, of course. We all know about Limbaugh's war on women. He has also engaged in a continuing jeremiad against Muslims, and he's not too fond of American workers either. All this, from the erstwhile leader of the Republican Party.
Limbaugh has accepted big bucks to stealth-recruit for the ultra-right wing Heritage Action for America which, on election eve, declared war on President Obama.
He has flung gay slurs at New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and President Obama.
Limbaugh has been accused by fellow Republicans of being the main reason the GOP lost the election. He has acknowledged and ridiculed that assertion while unveiling a biting parody of President Obama as Santa Claus bribing voters with gifts. In doing so, he also thumbed his nose at Republican Speaker Boehner, and aimed his accusation of embracing vote-bribery directly at Latinos.
Most recently Limbaugh has, menacingly and absurdly, predicted that liberals will riot over ObamaCare.
A growing number of moderate GOP advocates have seen enough, and are either criticizing Limbaugh directly, or are lamenting the conservative information bubble generated by the "conservative entertainment complex." Rush mocked the accusation by offering a "most dangerous man in America" T-shirt.
More Rush, here.

No the GOP lost the Hispanic vote because they're too damn stubborn to see past their own racism.

That's it Rush. Continue to piss off the people you need to keep the GOP viable.
