Limbaughtomy 

The removal of large portions of your cerebral cortex by exposure to mindless drivel spewed forth on the EIB network.

Ever since she got her limbaughtomy, Jane thinks that Barack Obama is the love child of Osama Bin Laden.

Limbaughtomy 

A severe impairment of cognitive function as a result of repeated exposure to bigoted views (see “Bignorism”).

Neural activity that would normally travel to the neocortex (in the upper brain) for analysis and evaluation is diverted to the amygdala (in the lower brain, a center of emotion) where it excites fear and hatred.

This diversion of brain signals is a survival mechanism that evolved in early mammals to react to dangers, where immediate action is needed before the neocortex has time to mull over incoming information.

The amygdala does not apply logic as it scans for danger. If information is non-threatening, it allows transfer to the neocortex. When it senses danger, other parts of the brain are activated, and this can lead to aggressive responses driven by the lower (reptilian) brain.

An example is when people respond to a mass shooting by saying, “We should enact laws to restrict semiautomatic weapons and large clips”. Someone who has been Limbaughtomized instead hears, “Let’s have the gummint break into houses and seize any guns they find — next week we’ll go after swords, knives, needles and then rocks. Hell, let’s take their women while we’re at it”.

Thank God! Ever since O'Reilly was fired for sexual harassment, we've got one less bloviator to perform a Limbaughtomy. Could this help curb the growth of Bignorism?

Limbaughtomized

(to be) When an individual has lost all independent function of their frontal lobe (the thinking, rational part) instead activating only limbic brain function (the part responsible for emotion) as a result of the incessant inundation of the multimillionaire corpulent windbag racist Narcissistic synthetically driven diatribe of Rush Limbaugh which has convinced these typically uneducated white males that they are the oppressed and robbed of their believed privileged status in society. (like Mr. Limbaugh who flunked out of every class he took), and encourages them to believe minorities, homosexuals, immigrants, Liberals, Democrats, women, young people, academia, and non-Christians have taken this status from them. These individuals also buy Mr. Limbaugh's products and refer to themselves as dittoheads believing they are part of some special club. The devotion to Mr. Limbaugh rivals Jesus Christ as Mr. Limbaugh has had some incredible legal scandals that if it were a target of Mr. Limbaugh's who had been caught committing these crimes; Mr. Limbaugh and his supporters would not let it go (i.e. Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick). Thus the ability of the frontal lobe to be rational in those who have been Limbaughtomized, especially when it comes to Conservative politics and Mr. Limbaugh himself seems to no longer exist.

"Bill refuses to listen to the logic surrounding access to birth control for all women and just gets angry when the subject is brought up because he's been Limbaughtomized."

"Lisa and I tried discussing gay marriage yesterday, but she went crazy pounding the table, screaming, and spewing Limbaugh talking points while refusing to hear my side; this shows she is completely Limbaughtomized."

"My grandmother told me she believes Rush Limbaugh over me and my 'Liberal agenda', all I did was tell her that his facts were inaccurate, she's totally Limbaughtomized."

limbaughtomized rushian 

A person who has listened to Rush Limbaugh for so long that he acts as though he's had a lobotomy.

Dude, how was your family Thanksgiving dinner?

My brother is a limbaughtomized rushian, so you can guess how bad it was...
