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.”
