And to the degree that we use those words, they win.

Note that I left out "tiny-pricked" and "man-child"?

You're right, there are plenty of truthful descriptors for assholes; we don't need to invent any.

"[Obama] wouldn't have been voted president if he weren't black If Obama weren't black he'd be a tour guide in Honolulu or he'd be teaching Saul Alinsky constitutional law or lecturing on it in Chicago." --Rush Limbaugh, July 6, 2010

"I'm a huge supporter of women. What I'm not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose. Feminism has led women astray. I love the women's movement — especially when walking behind it." --Rush Limbaugh, February 3, 2010


"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society." --Rush Limbaugh

"They oughtta change Black History Month to Black Progress Month and start measuring it." --Rush Limbaugh

And a great, winning pair of quotes:

"Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too." --Rush Limbaugh, in 1995

"I am addicted to prescription pain medication." --Rush Limbaugh, in 2003

Hard for me to see any equal to Rush on DU or on the 'left' at all. The years of hateful statements, the wide range of groups targeted for slander, the specific people held up for contempt using slurs and lies....
