Rush ("Up is the new down, cold is the new hot, light is the new dark, got it?" Limbaugh is saying: "I want to know why American caucasians are supposed to feel guilty about slavery. . . . Listen, primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries, some British and American entrepreneurs rescued a bunch of ignorant and savage people from a misbegotten continent, gave them free travel to the greatest country in the world, and guaranteed them full employment. . . . So what if their travel was restricted for a couple years? They were still here and not getting eaten by lions or by their fellow man, so called. . . And now they have it made with food stamps, assistance, cheap wine, and plenty 0f fried chicken franchises. . . . It's time we were proud of our country's history of slavery!!"

... embarrassed that racist pinheads like Limbaugh still exist nearly one half century after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Bill.

Sounds like he knows this is the end of his career, so why not go out with a bang. Just sad.

providing the essence of their so-called "thinking" or having them say what they would like to say if they thought they could get away with it (as here).
This CAPTION based on the following story at Media Matters:

The only 'followers' Rush should have left should be the little men in the white coats with the butterfly nets!
