Limbaugh Gets Lashed By a Listener

Last week, a concerned Marine veteran called in to criticize Rush
Limbaugh on his nationally broadcast radio show for Limbaugh’s “sour grapes”
opposition to President Obama
and his misguided support for torture, which led the caller to suggest that Limbaugh is “a brainwashed Nazi.” This is
uncharacteristic criticism of “Boss” Limbaugh, a man both feared and

adored
within the Republican Party. Chris Hayes, The Nation‘s
Washington DC editor, suggests Limbaugh has led the GOP “off the cliff” and more internal dissention will be necessary if Republicans hope to find their way back out of “the canyon.”

Take a stand against Trump and support The Nation!

In this moment of crisis, we need a unified, progressive opposition to Donald Trump. 

We’re starting to see one take shape in the streets and at ballot boxes across the country: from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability, to communities protecting their neighbors from ICE, to the senators opposing arms shipments to Israel. 

The Democratic Party has an urgent choice to make: Will it embrace a politics that is principled and popular, or will it continue to insist on losing elections with the out-of-touch elites and consultants that got us here? 

At The Nation, we know which side we’re on. Every day, we make the case for a more democratic and equal world by championing progressive leaders, lifting up movements fighting for justice, and exposing the oligarchs and corporations profiting at the expense of us all. Our independent journalism informs and empowers progressives across the country and helps bring this politics to new readers ready to join the fight.

We need your help to continue this work. Will you donate to support The Nation’s independent journalism? Every contribution goes to our award-winning reporting, analysis, and commentary. 

Thank you for helping us take on Trump and build the just society we know is possible. 

Sincerely, 

Bhaskar Sunkara 
President, The Nation
