The Conservative "Kennedy"

For years conservative has used Ted Kennedy as some type of caricature for Liberalism. Rush Limbaugh reemergence as the voice of opposition to the Obama Administration gives the Democrats and opportunity to paint him in the same way. As the fringe of conservatism.
A few often repeated talking points of his more outrageous statement would work good right now.
A couple Suggestions

"Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population. Who the hell cares." -Rush Limbaugh

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies" (radio; reported in the Flush Rush Quarterly, January 1993).

"There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492"

Now it should be noted that there are thousands of Rush Limbaugh stupid and hateful comments. So whoever is the the big democratic talking point genie at the top, just pick a few and hit send.
