Limbaugh Says Obama's Economic "Role Model" Is Robert Mugabe, Who "Took The White People's Farms."

Here's a little about Mugabe if you don't know much about him via Wikipedia:

Robert Gabriel Mugabe is the President of Zimbabwe. As one of the leaders of the liberation movement against white-minority rule, he was elected into power in 1980. He served as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987, and as the first executive head of state since 1987.[1]
--
Since 2000, the Mugabe-led government embarked on a controversial fast-track land reform program intended to correct the inequitable land distribution created by colonial rule.[6] The period has been marked by the deterioration of the Zimbabwean economic situation. Mugabe's policies have been condemned in some quarters at home and abroad, especially receiving harsh criticism from the British and American governments arguing they amount to an often violent land seizure.

And now he plays the Willie Horton is a dictator card. (h/t Atrios)
