On his show , Limbaugh has said that the Christchurch mosque shootings of March 2019 may have been a false-flag operation . Limbaugh described " an ongoing theory " that the shooter was actually " a leftist " trying to smear the right . Despite providing no source or evidence , Limbaugh continued : " ... you ca n't immediately discount this . The left is this insane , they are this crazy . " The July – August 1994 issue of '' Extra ! '' , a publication of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting ( FAIR ) , alleges 50 different inaccuracies and distortions in Limbaugh 's commentary . Comedian Al Franken , who later became a Senator , wrote a satirical book ( '' Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations '' ) in which he accused Limbaugh of distorting facts to serve his own political biases
