Your take is misguided, liberal rhetoric. Limbaugh is NOT a politician and as such isn't bound by the political correctness that politicians are. Unlike his liberal brethren, his show is extremely popular and tremendously successful. It wouldn't be either if his listeners weren't on board with much of what he says. While he often baits and makes outrageous statements as it is his JOB to stir the pot, a lot of what he says not only is true but appeals to a large majority of the conservative population in this country. The same conservative population that the GOP failed get to show up in the last election. It would be foolish for the GOP to ignore the power that Limbaugh has among the conservative base and not to utilize him or simply deal with him despite his penchant for bombast.
Despite the disdain that the left and congressional liberals show for Limbaugh, they do truly fear his message as shown by the Fairness Doctrine, the future fairness doctrines that will surely come disguised as something else and the current Presidents and Democratic leaders obsession with him.

the dems obsession with rush is tactical. he appeals to a sliver of the american public that would rather be "right" than electable.
and every time another republican has to kiss his ass is just one more day they won't have solved the problem of being out of power. dems will continue to point out how outrageous his opinion's are a simple reason. it helps drive a wedge between republican's and the majority of voting american's.
you guys are like dems after the 1980 election. telling yourself the problem was a lack of motivation in the base of a party that only has a shrinking 28% of the registered voter's nationwide is deluded. buy hey, if that's your solution i won't argue.
