<p>&quot;I think it can now be said, without equivocation — without  equivocation — that this man hates this country. He is trying — Barack  Obama is trying — to dismantle, brick by brick, the American dream. There’s no other way to put this. There’s no other way to explain this. He was indoctrinated as a child. His father was a communist. His  mother was a leftist. He was sent to prep and Ivy League schools where  his contempt for the country was reinforced. He moved to Chicago. It was  the home of the radical-left movement. He hooks up to Ayers and Dohrn  and Rashid Khalidi. He learns the ruthlessness of Cook County politics.  This is what we have as a president: A radical ideologue, a ruthless  politician who despises the country and the way it was founded and the  way in which it became great. He hates it,&quot; &#8211; <a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/watchwomanonthewall/2012/07/rush-obama-hates-this-country.html#ixzz20qGvdwYG" target="_self">Rush Limbaugh</a>, who surges into the lead. (Awards glossary <a href="http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/awards.html" target="_self">here</a>.)</p>
<p>You know Obama&#039;s doing OK when Limbaugh has to resort to the crudeness of this formulation. It&#039;s not that he hasn&#039;t said this before. It&#039;s that he is now at that Breitbart moment when he is merely screaming epithets at those whom he hates.</p>
