Look, the achievements or failings of a demagogue don't really impress me or concern me, but what's the point of this thread? Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite? Shocking development. 
As a Republican, I really don't care whether gays get married or not. And I care even less about what Rush Limbaugh thinks.
Good thread title, by the way. Well worth of the front page on the National Enquirer. But why the heck do you Limbaugh haters break a sweat? He's not our Messiah; George W. Bush is. Right?

Have the Bushists lost the moral high-ground on family values? Or are these just more examples of "family value" hypocrites?

Ya gotta love threads like these. As of this post no one has yet to "testify" as to what, or anything, Limbaugh has ever said about marriage. But it sure doesn't stop 'em from pontificating on high.
This thread is another great example of the Omni cheap shot.

* I believe:that strong, wholesome family values are at the very core of a productive, prosperous, and peaceful society
* that those values cannot be instilled by government but can indeed be sucked dry and eliminated by well-intentioned but destructive governmental programs
* that there is one God and that this country was established with that fundamental belief
* that our morality emanates from our Divine Creator, whose laws are not subject to amendment, modification, or rescission by man
* that the meaning of the establishment clause of the First Amendment should not be stretched beyond its intended dimensions by precluding voluntary prayer in our public schools;that the USA was founded on the beliefs I have just enunciated and that it is the greatest nation in the history of the world
* and that the USA is the greatest nation not because Americans are inherently superior but because its government was founded on principles which seek to allow maximum individual achievement.

I wonder what his listeners will think of this?

Doesn't sound like a non-sequitur to any rational man.

What are the demographics of his audience?
1. Can't think for themselves.
2. They have to have his talking points/sermons on a daily basis.
4. They do not read nor do they watch anything but Fox News since the media has liberal bias.
5. No more than high school in education, even if they went to college.
6. The monment you raise a quesion about Bush, Reagan or GOP, they immediately go into convulsions which makes them call you anti-American.
7. Main issues, prayer in schools, anyti abortion, anti-gay.
8. Foreign Policy---Blow them up. We are the Baaaaaadest and the meanest.
9. Have an aversion to truth.
10. Abilty to analyse isuues spans laying blame al the way back to Jimmy Carter if blaming Clintons doesn't work, that is.
