“Now, folks, the conventional wisdom is that Trump is scum, that Trump is a reprobate, that Trump is dangerous, that Trump is obscene, Trump’s insane, Trump’s a lunatic, Trump’s dangerous, Trump’s got to go. Why join in with that phrase? Why join that crowd?”

WASHINGTON — Conservative talk radio hosts didn’t endorse Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslim immigration on Tuesday — but they certainly didn’t condemn him and almost uniformly refrained from criticizing him or his plan.

Talk radio heavyweights Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin showed different levels of sympathy for Trump’s idea on Tuesday. These hosts, who boast large audiences of conservative listeners, have been pro-Trump to various degrees for months, and have been the most significant media engine behind Trump’s startling rise, echoing and reinforcing Trump’s rhetoric, particularly on immigration....

FNC isn’t far behind those channels; sadly.

MeGYNA Kelly could barely even puke out Trump’s name tonight.

She absolutely hates his guts. He got the better of her, and she cannot stand it.

[Logical me]

Because what Trump suggest makes sense. Stop the shi! for a while and take a hard look at what is Washington doing. Whatever it is it is not working and the killing by radical Muslims continues. When will it stop. Afraid too late. It has been let in and just waiting.

[Steely Tom]

True, but this TRUMP stuff is worse than what was thrown at Reagan.

Yes, but we didn't have domestic terrorists shooting innocent people and the Washington establishment essentially saying "no problem, we can absorb these casualties" in basically real time, as it is happening.

Carter was laying the groundwork for that, but ordinary people didn't realize it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Liberals have already proven that they could give a rats a@@ when Jihadists kill their own, that was proven last week with the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Govt workers, most likely voted for Obama twice, liberals dont care that Muslims killed them, as long as Democrats get Muslim votes they can deal with Americans dying here and there

[nopardons]

Oh I knew what Carter was doing!

[RC one]

I’m not real thrilled with Kimberly Guilfoyle either. Her bit on O’Reilly was pretty disgusting. Apparently we can’t even put a temporary halt on Islamic immigration because of the United Nations. Her words.

and have been the most significant media engine behind Trump's startling rise

Actually, the MSM and GOPe have been the biggest contributors to Trump's rise. Everytime they go after him for something "offensive" he has said, they are giving him free media to a larger audience than he could dream of reaching through "traditional" approaches.

[Noumenon]

You have the right of it, sir. None - and I mean none of them are fit to live in a free society. A house cleaning of biblical proportions is in order.

[TTFlyer]

Fox News Channel is not conservative, folks. They don’t like Trump, they don’t like Cruz, and they don’t like you.

[chris37]

Yeah, i just happened to catch that tonight. I usually refuse to watch O’Really, but I hadn’t yet changed the channel.

I agree with what O’Really said though. Neither one of those two lawyer babes convinced me of their argument.

International treaties don’t mean a damn thing to me.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

This is really ticking me off because this is absolute blatant attempts by the press to fix an election through libel. Where is the FEC in all this? Is this even legal? Constantly tagging a candidate as racist, as Hitler?

[nopardons]

That IS what is is, with the aid of a sitting pResident, his stooges,the RNC, and just about all of Congress.

I have NEVER, in my entire life, seen anything at all like this.

[nopardons]

They most assuredly do NOT like US and WE are the ones suppose3dly their target audience.

[RC one]

It's a sixty year old treaty and the Islamic states flat out stated the Declaration was "a secular understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition" which could not be implemented by Muslims without conflict with Sharia and then refused to abide by it on those grounds. On 30 June 2000, members of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (now the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) officially resolved to support the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, an alternative document that says people have "freedom and right to a dignified life in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah", without any discrimination on grounds of "race, colour, language, sex, religious belief, political affiliation, social status or other considerations.

[chris37]

What the...

Not in my country they don’t!

They have a right to live under the Constitution, and if that isn’t good enough, they can go back to Shari’ah land and leave us the Hell alone!

There is a treaty that needs to line a bird cage.

Megyn Kelly can blow it out her ass.

She showed her true colors in the debate and was roundly criticized and sent on vacation by Trump.A little more pushing and he would have had her back at 4:30 news hour.

[RC one]

One law for thee and another for me.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I am praying the majority of the people see right through this garbage, like my brother says - a year of calling Trump Hitler is never going to fly as all they will be doing is exposing themselves, it’s going to seem utterly ridiculous after a while even to the thickest individual. What I would LOVE to see is Trump go independent and STILL win the Presidency. That would be the closest thing to a full scale rebellion by the people without firing a shot, just the utter and complete rejection of this government and all involved in it, just one huge middle finger to all of them.
