Interesting website.

I hadn't realized that "Limbaugh donating approximately $500,000/year to the animal rights organization PETA"

He ever talk about that?

You're using selective cutting & pasting (are you MSM)? You took that out of context.

Even Limbaugh's introductory theme music has attracted controversy.

Since the 1980s he has used an edited and looped version of the powerful instrumental riff from The Pretenders' "My City Was Gone", a song written by Chrissie Hynde to bemoan the effects of overdevelopment on her native Ohio. Limbaugh loved the riff, hated the message, and thought he could both attract listeners and annoy opponents by playing it. When a landmark copyright case was decided in the 1990s, musical artists gained control over their works when performed thematically.

Briefly in 1999, Limbaugh was forced to suspend playing the song while negotiating with Hynde. Hynde eventually decided to allow Limbaugh to use it, with Limbaugh donating approximately $500,000/year to the animal rights organization PETA. Hynde explained that she doesn't agree with Limbaugh but her parents are big fans. [5]

Hi skip. I have done a better job of insulting Rush, and I'm a semi-disgruntled fan.

What next? Reports from his gay sister and college roommates?

Blech. Lay off.
