Critics of longtime conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh used his death on Wednesday to recall his most bombastic comments and decry the rhetoric he often espoused over the airwaves.
Limbaugh, 70, died this week after being diagnosed with lung cancer last year. Over a 30-year career in broadcasting, he regularly attacked liberal Democrats, social progressives and the national media.
Activists, political pundits and observers of conservative media circulated clips on social media of Limbaugh's more controversial comments during his decades in radio and television, about feminism, environmentalism and race issues.

Some users surfaced video of Limbaugh using the "N-word" with an "a" on the end of the word on his radio show and claiming "it's not racist."
