Limbaugh Dubs NYC Islamic Center "The Hamasque"

By Kate Conway

The predominant topic that Rush Limbaugh tackled today was the proposed Islamic cultural center to be built in lower Manhattan, which Rush dubbed the "Hamasque."

Rush went on to attack Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who is leading the initiative to build the cultural center, which, Rush claimed, glorifies "Muslim aggression" at the expense of those who died on 9-11. Rush later contrasted himself with Rauf, who he claimed is "getting a pass" from a left that went nuts when he tried to buy the NFL's St. Louis Rams.

Rush also went after President Obama over the issue, again calling him "Imam Hussein Obama" and saying that he's the best anti-American president we've ever had. Wondering why the Clintons hadn't been vocal about the issue, Rush speculated that they were waiting to pick up the pieces of Obama's supposed failure, saying that they're hoping to restore the Churchill bust to the Oval Office when Hillary Clinton will be able to look at it every day. He then falsely accused the State Department of sponsoring a fundraising tour for the center because it is sending Rauf to the Middle East.

At another point, Rush said that being told to "grow a pair" by Peter Beinart is "like a eunuch telling you that you don't have any onions." Rush also tickled himself pink thinking up lewd suggestions for names of the Muslim-friendly gay bar Fox News' Greg Gutfeld has proposed building next to the cultural center.

During a moment not devoted to discussing the mosque, Rush said he was smoking an e-cigarette in front of the dittocam, listing various flavors available (he was enjoying "apple") including "menthol or what have you for the brothers."

Here are a few highlight from today's show:
