As far as the judiciary, Limbaugh insisted that a recent NY Times profile of Chief Justice John Roberts which described the conservative character of the court was some sort of warning or attack so that Roberts would moderate himself. Limbaugh connected the profile to the Arizona decision, saying that it was not a coincidence that the two episodes happened in such close proximity.

Discussing Obama's appearance on The View, Limbaugh said the President brought "much-needed estrogen" to the program. Limbaugh also found time to once again mock Malia Obama's voice, and falsely claim that Phoenix is "the kidnapping capital of the world" outside of Mexico City.

Highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh opens show with attack on Obama "bringing some much-needed estrogen" to The View

Rush: Obama "reserves his empathy, sympathy, whatever, for terrorists and other enemies" of U.S.

Limbaugh falsely claims Phoenix "is the kidnapping capital of the world -- well, outside Mexico City"

Limbaugh again mocks Malia Obama's voice

Limbaugh attacks AZ judge as "partisan political operative"

Rush Limbaugh is not a fan of the electric Chevy Volt. Limbaugh claimed that he had turned down advertising from General Motors after the government took over the company, and that he did so because he opposed the idea of an electric car as currently implemented. Limbaugh said that an electric car would be moot anyway, because the energy policies enacted by President Obama and congressional Democrats would eliminate electricity. He said that in the past it cost 10 cents to buy an AIDS ribbon to show that "you care," but now that the Volt costs $41,000, the cost of showing you care has increased.

Limbaugh said that President Obama's appearance on The View would "add estrogen" to the show, and that Obama told the Boy Scouts to "go to hell" rather than appear at their meeting. He said that Obama had "stiff[ed]" the Scouts because "there isn't a merit badge for community organizing."

When the story about federal Judge Susan Bolton blocking portions of Arizona's immigration law broke, Limbaugh went on the attack. He called the judge an activist (an accusation he also leveled at Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan), and argued that she had "ruled on the spin" while admitting he didn't have time to review the entire ruling while doing his show. Limbaugh said that she had bought the "horse manure" that's part of the American left.

Highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh on AZ decision: "I guess the judge is saying" it's not OK "for Arizona to try to defend itself from an invasion"

After judge's decision on immigration law, Rush predicts that "Muslim terrorists" will "have a field day in Arizona"

Limbaugh: AZ judge "has put the icing on the cake," so "we're going to strike politically at the ruling class in November"

Limbaugh says subprime crisis was result of a "giant conspiracy" on the left

Complaining about Arizona immigration decision, Limbaugh attacks Sotomayor and Kagan as "activists" -- not judges

In attack on "affordable housing," Limbaugh says "It was almost as though [the financial crisis] was done on purpose"

Limbaugh falsely claims affordable housing caused financial meltdown

Obama "stiff[ed]" Boy Scouts "probably because there isn't a merit badge for community organizing"

Limbaugh: Under Obama, "there isn't going to be any electricity to drive a car with"

Limbaugh: I "turned down" GM advertisements because he doesn't support electric cars

Rush Limbaugh opened his show saying that if he could change only one thing about America, he would change the fact that "so many people born in this country hate it." While Rush claimed he didn't want to "get in to" whether or not President Obama himself was patriotic, Limbaugh suggested "it's clear that Obama has a different view of this country than the vast majority of the people." Limbaugh went on to discuss Obama's upcoming appearance on The View and said "every day Obama is in that office he denigrates it."

In the second hour, Limbaugh shifted his attacks to the left as a whole, claiming, "if I were everything the left says I am, I would be one of them" and called liberals "racists," "bigots," and "sexists."  Limbaugh then blamed the financial crisis on liberalism, and placed blame on the policies of Presidents Carter and Clinton, Senator Chris Dodd, and Rep. Barney Frank, whom he claimed "forced" banks into making bad loans. Limbaugh concluded that "there's really no comparison here in the destructive nature of the two parties."

After making similar attacks throughout the show, and claiming that Obama would raise taxes on small businesses, Limbaugh rounded out his broadcast by suggesting that "we've never had an administration this destructive ... whose objective was to preside over America's decline."

Highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh: Obama and his supporters "have an active, ongoing, and increasing dislike of this country"

Limbaugh: "For every day Obama's in that office, he denigrates it"

Limbaugh falsely suggests Obama's proposing to tax most small businesses

Limbaugh: "There's really no comparison here in the destructive nature of the two parties"

Recycling old falsehoods, Limbaugh names "liberalism" as the sole cause of the economic crisis

Rush Limbaugh didn't let the fact that the Obama administration didn't support the release of the Lockerbie bomber get in the way of spending a lot of time explaining his theory for why they did support the release. According to Limbaugh, the administration "backed the release" because they wanted to "make nice with the Muslim world."

Moving on to the recent leak of classified information about the Afghanistan war by Wikileaks, Limbaugh tried to connect the leak to his theory that the Obama administration sought to keep in the place rules of engagement that put a higher priority on minimizing civilian casualties. Limbaugh then went into detail explaining his view that the modern U.S. military is unable to fight wars fully because "in the old days, the definition of winning a war was killing people." He spoke about this idea for some time, citing Gen. William Sherman's march to Atlanta, the firebombing of Dresden, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as incidents where civilian casualties had been necessary to achieve victory in war (he didn't discuss the advances in technology made since the cited incidents, however.)

Despite the errors on his program today, Limbaugh claimed that he operates "flawlessly" and has "zero mistakes."

Highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh falsely claims Obama "backed the release" of the Lockerbie bomber

Limbaugh: Obama supported release of Lockerbie bomber because he "wanted to make nice with the Muslim world"

Limbaugh mocks Wikileaks' exposure of civilian deaths: "In the old days, the definition of winning a war was killing people"

Limbaugh: "If this regime will mislead" on Lockerbie bomber, they are "certainly capable of misleading on the Wikileaks"

Limbaugh claims he is "executing assigned host duties flawlessly" with "zero mistakes"

Limbaugh: Obama and the left believe "the United States military is the focus of evil"

Limbaugh: I'm a conservative, Gingrich is a "party man," a "Republican through and through"

Limbaugh then spent some time praising MSNBC's Luke Russert for his questioning of Congressman Charlie Rangel - while apologizing to Russert for his praise, which Rush asserted would get him into trouble. He then asserted that the city of Harlem is "proud of" its "time honored tradition of corruption" - claiming that he was not, in fact, attacking Harlem.

Here are the highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh: "Literally insane" "acne-faced, zit-faced little people" at "nutroots convention" are "depressed" and profane

Limbaugh: Netroots Nation "going after" Democrats is like "Hezbollah going after Hamas"

Rush: "George W. Bush is still stimulating the economy that Obama is trying to ruin"

While talking about the Sherrod affair, Limbaugh criticized Fox News, and Shepard Smith in particular, for "cav[ing]" on the story by saying that "Breitbart is wrong." Rush also said, "For all I know, the White House orchestrated this whole thing."

Limbaugh spent some time crowing about the news that congressional Democrats might support the extension of the Bush tax cuts, even for the wealthiest Americans, but he predicted they ultimately wouldn't do so. There was further repetition of his theme from this week that there "is no media" because of journalists' subservience to the left. And he said that Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan are "not qualified" and that they discuss their "life experience" because "they're women -- that means they're victims."

Rush closed out the program with a bang. Regarding the settlement of a discrimination lawsuit against the Agriculture Department, Limbaugh said, "This is just reparations under a different name."

Here are some highlights from the show:

Limbaugh calls Obama "the most-racial president"

Limbaugh: "Andrew Breitbart was exactly right," Sherrod is "racist -- the NAACP is racist"

Limbaugh says the NAACP is "now the R-A-C-I-S-M"

Limbaugh: Fox News and Shep Smith "caved" on Sherrod story by saying "Breitbart is wrong"

Limbaugh: "For all I know, the White House orchestrated this whole [Sherrod] thing"

Limbaugh calls "Democrat party" the "white plantation holders"

Rush: Obama "regime" is "tribalizing this country" into "different racial tribes"

Rush: "Not qualified" Sotomayor, Kagan discuss "life experience" because "they're women -- that means they're victims"

Limbaugh says discrimination lawsuit against USDA "is just reparations under a different name"

Later, Limbaugh returned to his obsession over Journolist conspiracy theories by reading from the Daily Caller's latest yawner. During one of his frequent self-interruptions, Limbaugh claimed credit for the ongoing decline plaguing mainstream media outlets. Limbaugh then praised the "real journalism" of the Daily Caller for publishing "transcripts" of the Journolist listserv, favorably comparing this to the phony "Climategate" episode.

Rush also - without any trace of irony -introduced new charges of racism against Eric Holder and the Justice Department, Democrats, and the NAACP.

Here are the highlights from the show:

Limbaugh accuses Eric Holder, DOJ of racism

Limbaugh: Sherrod supports "Obamunism," "the haves versus the have-nots and the need for redistribution"

"Democrats have wanted a race-based confrontation for months now"

Limbaugh: "NAACP is about the advancement of leftist ideals, agenda, and its own racism"

Limbaugh: "I know Andrew Breitbart, he doesn't purposely screw around with edits"

Limbaugh: Obama is a "grossly underqualified, unaccomplished editor of the Harvard Law Review"

Early in the program, Rush jumped into the other big right-wing story of the day, praising as "great work" Andrew Breitbart's smear video of an Agriculture Department official speaking at an NAACP event in Georgia. (She resigned; the story turned himself around 25 minutes later and declared that "the charge of racism is losing its heft" and that it has been "overdone and overblown."

During the course of the show, Rush also aired doctored audio of an exchange that Tom Brokaw had with Charlie Rose on his PBS show -- a replay of something he did a year and a half ago. In addition, Limbaugh said that "unemployment" is a new "entitlement" and "welfare program."

Rush spent a good deal of the final hour talking about a Sports Illustrated article on all-you-can-eat sections at big-league ballparks, which a caller had pointed out to him. Rush found this to be more evidence of propaganda from the left and the intrusion of "Michelle Obama's agenda."

Here are some highlights from the show:

Limbaugh calls Breitbart's heavily edited video of former USDA official "great work"

Limbaugh joins right-wing media chorus freaking out over "coordination" among liberal journalists

Rush claims emails between liberal journalists proves "mainstream coordination with the left"

Limbaugh: "The charge of racism is losing its heft" and has been "overdone and overblown"

Limbaugh says "unemployment" is a new "entitlement" and "welfare program"

After more than two hours, Limbaugh got off the topic of the American Spectator article and discussed a New York Times blog post that connected the current landscape of unemployment in America to "the effect of the financial crisis on business owners who reacted to the fear and uncertainty by laying off employees in extraordinary numbers." Rush blamed government.

Here are the highlights from the show:

Rush reads from American Spectator piece to falsely suggest Kagan covered up plagiarism

Limbaugh repeats misleading claim that U.S. has second-highest corporate tax rate in the world

Davis also had on Quin Hillyer, senior editorial writer for The Washington Times, who proceeded to repeat nearly every dubious and phony claim that Republican activist J. Christian Adams has thrown at the Department of Justice. Hillyer cited McCain supporter and current Draft Rudy Giuliani for Governor chair Bartle Bull's defense of Adams, as well as the support from equally discredited Bush era DOJ officials.

Here are some highlights from the show:

Rush fill-in Davis absurdly claims Obama "energiz[ed] terrorists the world over with a lackadaisical defense of America"

Davis and Hillyer hype allegations that "if you're white, you have no civil rights" according to Obama DOJ

Rush fill-in Davis and Wash. Times' Hillyer hype "NAACP-New Black Panther connection"

Rush sub Davis suggests White House is disappointed by halting of Gulf oil leak

Rush also spent a few moments engaging in some class warfare, ranting that only "the mediocre and the lazy" benefit from social welfare policies. He also eventually got around to repeating some of his attacks against Obama administration official Donald Berwick.

Here are some highlights from today's show:

Rush says "there's no such thing as preventive medicine" -- it's really just "mind control" and "1984"

Rush says Lenin is "the father of the concept of national health care"

Rush repeats ridiculous claim that Berwick "is a huge rationing supporter, which ultimately leads to death panels"

Rush: "It's the mediocre and the lazy who get propped up by the American left"

Rush calls administration health care regulations "fatwas"

Limbaugh led the show today by complaining about the media's coverage of his comment yesterday regarding George Steinbrenner: "That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires." He said that Media Matters had taken the comment out of context and falsely claimed that we didn't note his comment that Steinbrenner "knew when to die" because there's currently no estate tax -- we did. Limbaugh played an audio clip of Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) saying at a town hall meeting that he hadn't heard about allegations that the Justice Department is racially biased because of the phony New Black Panther voter-intimidation "scandal" being peddled by Republican activist J. Christian Adams. Limbaugh connected this to media reports about his Steinbrenner comments, claiming that reporters didn't understand his cleverness because they weren't aware of video footage of one of the New Black Panthers involved in the phony scandal, King Samir Shabazz, engaging in a disgusting rant about killing "crackers."

Rush spent a good deal of time talking about statements from President Obama and other administration officials that Al Qaeda doesn't "value African life" because of its willingness to use Africans as suicide bombers and the recent bombings in Uganda. Rush used this as a jumping-off point to launch more racially tinged attacks on the Obama administration. He speculated that charges of racism might finally motivate Attorney General Eric Holder to "get serious about going after Al Qaeda now" and declared that the "Democrat Party" is like Al Qaeda because it "targets and recruits black Africans and Americans." For a guy who claims he's colorblind, he sure does like to talk about race a lot.

The rest of the program was a mish-mash of standard Limbaugh. The stimulus failed; purportedly bad poll numbers for Obama; Democrats wanted the recession; Obama wants Republicans to win the midterms so he can blame them for problems; and, of course, Obama doesn't want to stop the Gulf oil leak.

To sum up, a particularly salient quote from Rush today: " 'Cracker' is the word of the day."

Here are some highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh: "Democrat Party" is like Al Qaeda because it "targets and recruits black Africans and Americans"

Limbaugh says Holder "might get serious about going after Al Qaeda now" because of racism charges

Limbaugh falsely claims Media Matters "left out" his comment that Steinbrenner "knew when to die"

Limbaugh again suggests Obama doesn't want Gulf oil leak stopped

Later, fueled by a Daily Caller story about how White House adviser David Axelrod said that America would be going "backwards" if Republicans took control of Congress in 2010, Limbaugh ranted about how he would "love" to "go backwards," back "18 months" -- when the economy was in total free-fall. Limbaugh also took issue with Michelle Obama's comments at the NAACP, later wondering if she was talking to the New Black Panthers.

Limbaugh continued to serve up a heavy dose of race-baiting throughout the day. At one point, he agreed with a caller who said Obama is "enslaving" children to "the NEA plantation that is D.C. Public Schools." Limbaugh also insinuated that the NAACP is racist.

Here are the highlights from the show:

Rush's race-baiting on Steinbrenner death: "That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires"

Rush says "something's not right" about Michelle Obama's comments at NAACP because blacks should "be happier than ever"

Rush: "Liberals are like Muslim extremists" because "they want to be told how to live" and also "can't stand freedom"

Rush asks if Michelle Obama was "talking to the New Black Panthers" at NAACP event

Rush agrees with caller that Obama is "enslaving these children back to the NEA plantation that is DC Public schools"

Rush calls it "ironic" that the NAACP would call Tea Party racist

Rush made the rounds of dubious voter-fraud charges today as well, promoting a new "documentary" that claims that Obama stole the primary election from Hillary Clinton and a "study" conducted by the conservative Minnesota Majority that alleges Sen. Al Franken won his seat on the strength of felons voting illegally. Then came the crazy: Limbaugh said that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder "continue to protect and represent" New Black Panther Party member King Samir Shabazz; he then alleged media bias based on the coverage of Mel Gibson's "raunchy" comments.

A few leftovers: Rush called Obama "a spoiled brat baby," said that anyone who criticizes Obama is portrayed as "a racist, sexist pig," and referred to undocumented immigrants as "undocumented Democrats," because "amnesty" is just a "get-out-the-vote program." Limbaugh also criticized Sen. Scott Brown for not being a true conservative because Brown said he will vote for financial regulatory reform.

Here are some highlights from today's show: 

Limbaugh complains that "anybody who criticizes Obama is" declared "a racist, sexist pig"

Limbaugh: "[T]he only way the left can get what they want is to destroy our capitalist system"

Limbaugh says Obama and Holder "continue to protect and represent" New Black Panther

Limbaugh says "this is the Democrats' economy -- Obama didn't inherit anything. This is not Bush's economy"

Limbaugh: Obama may want Republicans to win midterm elections so he can blame them for laws passed in lame-duck session

Rush Limbaugh began today's show by theorizing that LeBron James' decision to join the Miami Heat was motivated, in part, by lower tax rates in Florida than in New York City. He also spent an excruciating amount of time railing against the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) for threatening to sue McDonald's if it continues using toys to market to children. Rush smeared the health group as a "wacko bunch of leftist kooks" who are "no different than your crazy aunt in the basement."

A good portion of the second hour was devoted to attacking President Obama (no surprise there). After claiming that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head Donald Berwick "openly advocates health care rationing," Rush stated that Obama decided to recess-appoint Berwick to prevent "more controversy about Obamacare." Rush also said (again) that Obama is "redistributing the wealth of this country" and "happily presiding over the decline of the United States." He then accused Obama of "populat[ing] his administration with like-minded zombies, cut-outs, rubber stamps" and of pushing for amnesty for undocumented immigrants because it "is the largest voter registration drive we've ever had in this country." Rush added that Obama is "sell[ing] the country and a particular state down the river in order to secure a voting bloc."

Rush continued his amnesty rant during the third hour of the show, and even criticized Ronald Reagan to bolster his position that comprehensive immigration reform "makes" no "sense." Speaking on the immigration legislation in 1986, Rush said that "Reagan's amnesty was a disaster."

Here are some highlights from today's show:

Rush smears health group as "wacko bunch of leftist kooks" who are "no different than your crazy aunt in the basement"

Limbaugh: NRDC on spill commission like "putting Colonel Sanders on a commission to save the lives of chickens"

Limbaugh: Berwick is an "open advocate of rationing, which is shorthand for death panels"

Limbaugh: "All this talk about growth -- nothing but lies. ... If liars could fly, the White House would be an airport"

Limbaugh: Obama "destroy[ed] the economy," "squander[ed] a trillion dollars" "on purpose"

Limbaugh on immigration legislation in 1986: "Reagan's amnesty was a disaster"

Limbaugh on AZ law: Obama "sell[ing] the country and a particular state down the river in order to secure a voting bloc"
