'''Rush Limbaugh''' (born January 12, 1951) is an extremely popular American [[conservative]] radio talk show host and author. Limbaugh has risen to the top of the ratings charts as by affecting an intensely [[conservative ]] voice in a talk radio media environment dominated by conservatives. In However, he revealed his sharp criticisms true colors as a [[RINO Backer|RINO backer]] when he participated in the [[media bullying]] of [[Todd Akin]] in August 2012.<ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80003.html#ixzz253Tv1IjT</ref><ref>http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/08/21/akin_s_remark_was_stupid_and_untrue_now_he_must_put_the_nation_s_future_first</ref> == Media bullying of Todd Akin ==Congressman Todd Akin is the [[Obama AdministrationRepublican Party]] Limbaugh has been characterized as nominee for one of the ''de facto'' leaders of most-watched races for the opposition[[U.S. Senate]] in 2012. Historians compare his role to Walter Winchell, He has represented a radio commentator portion of the 1930s-1950s eragreater [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]] area in the [[House of Representatives]] since 2000 (Missouri's 2nd congressional district). On August 19, 2012, in a local television interview with KTVI, Akin rejected a suggestion that there should be a broad [[rape]] exception to limits on [[abortion]]. He has been ranked distinguished between an actual rape and a false allegation of rape by referring to the former as a "legitimate rape," terminology that the [[liberal media]] then unfairly took out of context to engage in demagoguery against him. Perhaps fearful of losing an advertiser, even though he's already made millions by pretending to be [[conservative]], Limbaugh piled on with the [[media bullying]] against Akin. He called Akin'The Daily Telegraph''s comment "stupid" and then, a popular UK newspaperillustrating his foolish self-centeredness, declared that "If I had demanded Akin drop out, he’d be gone."<ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80003.html#ixzz253Tv1IjT</ref> Limbaugh added, "What I think Mr. Akin should try to realize here as he makes his decision is that all of these things that he truly cares about will be much easier to make happen if we win the second most influential conservativeSenate and the White House and hold the House this November. He must put the nation and its future ahead of everything else that he's considering. And I hope he comes to the right conclusion."<ref>[http://www.telegraphrushlimbaugh.cocom/daily/2012/08/21/akin_s_remark_was_stupid_and_untrue_now_he_must_put_the_nation_s_future_first</ref> True conservatives stood with principle and defended Akin's remarks, and his right to remain in the race.uk<ref>http:/news/worldnewsdyn.politico.com/northamericaprintstory.cfm?uuid=004DDFAC-6907-452E-93F5-62D3793BBABE</usaref><ref>http:/6990965/Thewww.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-most2012/wp/2012/08/21/tony-influentialperkins-USgop-conservativestreatment-20of-akin-suspect/</ref><ref>http://www.rollcall.com/news/missouri_delegates_still_support_todd_akin_despite_controversy-217050-1.html The most influential US conservatives</ref><ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57497428-503544/rep-steve-king-backs-up-todd-akin-weighs-in-on-rape-and-abortion/</ref><ref>[http://mycn2.com/politics/rand-paul-reticent-to-weigh-in-on-akin-s-future-but-says-akin-s-comment-was-incorrect Rand Paul reticent to weigh in on Akin's future but says Akin's comment was incorrect]by Ryan Alessi, mycn2.com, August 22, 2012, retrieved August 24, 2012</ref><ref>http://akin.org/huckabee-chip-in</ref><ref>http://hinterlandgazette.com/2012/08/social-conservatives-including-frc-head-tony-perkins-defending-rep-todd-akins-legitimate-rape-comment.html</ref><ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80049.html</ref><ref>http://buchanan.org/blog/a-grand-old-party-in-panic-2-5223</ref>
