You will likely find that even if Rush did, in fact, use the term pejoratively that he wasn't alone in using it that way. It was used in general by at least a few of those within what roachboy called the "pretty elaborate conservative media apparatus."

And you will also likely find that Rush isn't the only one to refer to Obama's office as a "regime."

I think there is a difference between being overly sensitive and making the decision to educate people who react negatively to such conservative bias, because maybe you're getting too much feedback or too many complaints about something that's actually rather misleading or false. Of course, the same conservative bias would likely call this "reeducation."
