http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/9-vilest-right-wing-moments-week-limbaugh-pits-himself-against-abducted-nigerian1. Rush Limbaugh: The Nigerian girls arent our girls... and other atrocities.
Despicable, human-shaped being Rush Limbaugh went full-on evil this week when he decided to mock the #BringBackOurGirls Twitter campaign to bring attention to the school girls kidnapped in Nigeria.

2. Laura Ingraham: Nigerian girls were kidnapped because, Benghazi.
As the world now knows, schoolgirls were kidnapped in Chibok, Nigeria. Their cause has become a rallying cry around the world. For Fox Newsian Laura Ingraham, this can only mean one thing: Benghazi. Also, Benghazi. Its like a buzzing sound, a compulsive tic she just has to blurt out... constantly. Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. During a show this week, she interrupted her guest, who seemed to be actually discussing the situation in Nigeria, to say: I think part of the problem here is that we have a dead American ambassador, and no one in custody... not to go back to Benghazi.

3. Marco Rubio shifts from climate change denialism to pseudo-science about abortion.
Last weekend the junior senator from Florida said he doesnt believe human activity causes climate change or that we can do anything to change it. This did not play well anywhere, especially in his home state of Florida, which will be under water soon because of rising sea levels caused by man-made global warming.
4. N.H. police chief calls Obama the n-word, refuses to apologize saying he meets his "criteria for such.
Another week, another revolting old white racist raises his lizard-like head. Sometimes two a week. Donald Sterling hasnt even exited the stage yet, when along comes a police chief in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, who was overheard calling President Obama the effen n-word. When residents demanded a retraction and his resignation, by golly, 82-year-old Robert Copeland up and refused.
His answer was this:
"I believe I did use the 'N' word in reference to the current occupant of the Whitehouse [sic]" Copeland wrote in an email to the residents, as quoted by local TV-station WMUR. "For this, I do not apologizehe meets and exceeds my criteria for such."

The idea that everyone is "us" is a very dangerous one to conservatives who live in a divide-and-conquer, us-vs.-them world.
