1. All Republicans are always right about everything.
2. All Democrats are always wrong about everything.
3. Anyone who disagrees with me about anything is an idiot and hates America.
4. I get to decide for everyone what it means to be conservative, even if the issue at hand has nothing to do with conservatism/liberalism.
5. Any facts that are in conflict with my opinion are lies from the liberal media.
The opposite of thoughtful discourse. See Beckism.
Similar to McCarthyism. Simply substitute "Liberal" for "Communist".

Get the limbaughism mug.(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.

"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."

Get the Limbaughitis mug.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”.
