Limbaugh['s speech] in the crosshairs

For the record, I believe it is unkind to mimic a dialect in a derogatory manner, so I would not defend Rush Limbaugh's actions here (based on what I've heard that he did). On the other hand, I think these people are making idiots of themselves to criticize "making fun of any country's leader." But this attack on Limbaugh appears to reach a new level (My Way News - "Asian-American lawmakers demand Limbaugh apology"):
Yee has been joined by Asian-American state and federal lawmakers who say Limbaugh's comments are inciting hate and intolerance amid a polarized atmosphere. A number of civil rights groups, including Chinese for Affirmative Action, Japanese American Citizens League and the California National Organization for Women, have joined Yee in calling on sponsors to pull advertisements from Limbaugh's program.
