We, like most of sane America, hate Rush Limbaugh. Really, what's not to hate? C'mon, the guy calls his faithful listeners "Dittoheads." (Editor Jill and Wikipedia told this Phillyist that it's because Limbaugh listeners start their call-ins by saying "Ditto" to echo how much they enjoy his show, but I know it's really because they're mindless, or misguided, carbon copies of one another.) We've panned Rush on these pages before for encouraging his Republican listeners in Texas and Ohio to switch to the Democractic party to vote for Hillary Clinton, because she's more likely to lose to John McCain in a general election than Barack Obama is. (And let's not forget, this is the same guy who swore he would not support John McCain, which may have been a ploy to make sure McCain—the only electable Republican who ran in the primaries—got the nomination, because his endorsement of a candidate is about the quickest way to turn off moderate voters.) And now it looks like the party-switching sabotage mission may be happening in Pennsylvania.

Perhaps Senator John McCain is feeling pressure to court the remaining Christian conservative votes he has not already pulled out from under former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is a former evangelical pastor. Many far-right conservative voters have expressed doubts about McCain’s allegiance to their values, including notorious radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. This may be the reason why in the past week he has been openly embracing fiery evangelical leaders.

Confession time.
