Caribou can do without being "bigot" Rush Limbaugh's "new musical obsession"

Caribou, aka Canadian producer Dan Snaith, has suddenly found himself with an enormous right-wing admirer.
Rush Limbaugh, as per his wiki page, is "conservative political commentator". Needless to say, he's a real fun guy.
As well as frequently courting controversy for his views on race, feminism, drugs and drug use, capital punishment, and, lately, consent, Limbaugh's got a soft spot for Caribou's 2014 single "Can't Do Without You".
Snaith was none too pleased with the praise, telling Mr. Limbaugh to "fuck off" and "stop being a bigot". Fair enough.
Dear @rushlimbaugh,

Fuck off.
Please either:
a) stop using my music on your show
or
b) stop being a bigot.
