Conservative Talk Radio Hosts Don’t Reject Trump In Wake Of Muslim Ban Proposal
Buzz Feed News ^ | December 8, 2015 | Rosie Gray

“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....

The MSM, Democrats, and most Republicans - in other words, the entirety of the elites - are all going to try to rise up as one against Trump. They're going to try to turn it into a "Top Of The World Ma" moment, from White Heat.

This is going to be a defining moment. Either Trump, or the Uniparty elites are going to come out of this much diminished.

I'm betting on Trump.

I’m 54, I don’t think I’ve ever seen in my life a POTUS candidate get as much absolute venom and bile as Trump has. Seriously, when has this ever happened before? I knew it would be tough for him, but holy smoke, this is utterly completely over the top hate. This guy has been called every single name in the book and for what? For being honest? Obama wants to import 680,000 “refugees” from a terror producing country...THAT is OK, but Trump saying “Hey let’s hold off on that a minute” makes him Hitler? Is there something we suddenly owe to foreign Muslims or did I miss that?

The elites have handled the affairs of our country so stupidly ever since 9-11. We’re going to see wall-to-wall finger pointing.

The MSM is going hysterical over this.

I guess they are too dumb to learn. We’ve been here many times before.

Just watch Trump surge in the polls. The MSM has been owned.

Few remember it, but Reagan was absolutely reviled by the MSM/Democrats and even some Republicans.

Tip O'Neill called Reagan an "amiable dunce" even once he was sitting in the Oval Office.

Most AMERICANS think that Trump has the right idea. It’s only the low I.Q. leftwing kooks who love and worship those who have come here to behead and murder them. You know, the idiots slinking around among us.

It’s amazing to watch MSM having hysterics over this...and, watching their tizzies grow even more when they realize that We the People are behind Trump 100%.

It’s also amazing to watch the MSM/DNC/RNC/CheapLaborExpress groups and several on this site have the same hysterics...over Trump!!

His surging in the polls, over this, will cause severe mental anguish.....everywhere.

Some are ‘slinking among us’ pretty close, aren’t they?

I remember that, maybe not much as I was around 17 at the time, but this is utterly over the top ridiculous. They got Trump making Hitler salutes on the headlines next to a picture of Hitler, maybe it's worse here because it's New York....Look at this, I just looked it up. Now the Daily News has him wearing a Nazi uniform.......

Look at this crap...

For the first time in my voting life (44 years) I’ve registered Republican to vote for a candidate who is not bought, says his mind, is NOT PC, and is pissing off all the right people. He may be an egotistical, bombastic SOB, but he is an SOB who ‘gives a sh-t and isn’t a pussy’. At this point in time he is my SOB.

The Fox News crew seems to be siding with Jeb Bush/ the Democrats against Trump over this. Megyn Kelly is especially upset about it...for some strange reason.

I'm older than you are and as bad as the MSM treated Nixon, it wasn't EVER this bad, and it was VERY bad back then!

Reagan got it too, but this is worse.

W got it too, but again, NEVER as bad as this !

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

They’re trying to intimidate what is probably a majority of the population into pretending that the inverted reality they try to project is real reality.

They can do this with each other, because what they think is an iron grip is backed up by the threat of social shunning within the elite “in-crowd.”

They have lost sight of reality, obviously. They think that We The People are as spineless as their elitist buddies are.
