Well, if they can get “mainstream” elected Republicans to reject Rush, they can easily paint him as an extremist. Therefore, anyone who supports, or even listens to, Rush is a troglodyte, right-wing, religious kook who hates minorities, gays and anybody that believes in evolution.
There is then no harm in silencing Rush, who is, after all, only a fear-mongering wingnut spewing hate-speech to ignorant followers.
If Rush goes down, it’s all over, I’m afraid. And I don’t trust the squishy, suck-up Republicans we have in Congress to stand up to the heat that’s coming. What we have seen is only the first volley.
Oh, please.
That's absurd.
