Limbaugh Derangement Syndrome at HuffPo: Radio Host Genocidal to Dems
I'm no medical doctor or psychiatrist, but I believe there's a disturbing condition sweeping the left-wing blogosphere, closely related to the well-documented malady of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Call it Limbaugh Derangement Syndrome if you will, and I will.What else do you call it when a lib blogger compares the radio talk show host to agitators of Rwandan genocide?

Bush in 2000, Arianna Huffington continued to denigrate the presumptive Republican nominee before a Washington, D.C., audience.
