Rush Limbaugh's now decrying the
coarsening of debate wrought by the Internet. He's very concerned
about trolling and the "series of sewers [on Twitter] where trolls are ...
I mean, endless parades of human debris hang out." Because of this
overarching concern, he's doing his best to help establish 'moral guard rails'
for public debate.
No, really.
I heard him say so, right on his very own radio program, just a few mornings
ago. (June 24, 2015 show, just around six paragraphs of transcripts, see link
above.)
"That's
why there's an ongoing effort on this program to establish and maintain what I
would -- what's the best way to characterize? Not just cultural norms, but
uplifting standards morality and decency, standing for them, representing them,
the guardrails of society, if you will."
This, from a man who built his career on ridiculing Prez
Clinton's appetite(s) and Hillary Clinton's "cankles." Who
keeps said career going by making fun of Michelle Obama's appearance and
nationally trashing a random law student as a "slut" for advocating for
access to birth control. Yep, quite the model of decorum.
What's next? A "proper use of footnotes and citations" movement from
Ann Coulter? The Pope denounces celibate unmarried folks & offers a
21st Century "Sex Tips for Girls"? Donald Trump denounces the
conspicuous consumption of folks in Orange County and offers new guidelines for
simpler, more humble living?
You really can't make this stuff up, folks.
Update October 5, 2015:
Read on for assorted evidence of Limbaugh's devotion to providing and
maintaining the guardrails of society, if you will - both before and after his
declaration.

Great job of "uplifting standards of morality and decency" there, Rush. Your listeners may want to look elsewhere for their moral guardrails.
