Ugh, I did not need my favourite web comic being associated with Limbaugh.

"Associated with"? That's definitely incorrect. Maybe"referencing", "calling out" or even "denouncing"...

Associate: a mental connection between ideas or things.

"the word bureaucracy has unpleasant associations"

the action of making a mental connection.

Associate: to join as a partner, friend, or companion; They were closely associated with each other during the war.

See? I can paste definitions too! I was merely pointing out that that specific word choice could lead the reader to infer collaboration or partnership. The comic is clearly not endorsing that worldview...

I don't know what to tell you mate. You came off to me as if trying to tell me I didn't use the word "associate" correctly, and I was trying to show you that I, in fact, did. I got nothing else for ya.
