RUSH: You know what this feels like to me? The cultural revolution of Mao Tse-tung when the Chinese became the ChiComs. This is exactly what it was like: “You will conform, and you will love it. You not only will conform, you will love it — and if you don’t, kablooey! It is to the work camps for you or to the reeducation jail for you — and if you don’t get it after that, then it’s dog doo-doo for food for you until you do get it.” Let me ask a simple question, ladies and gentlemen. You know, I can’t help it. I’m logical.
I can’t help it! That’s the way I think. I’m the mayor of Realville. I’m looking at the media, and I’m watching various… I did watch some TV last night, and I found out why I stopped. Boy, you talk about… I just was blowing up last night. I don’t like being mad. I tell myself, “You don’t have to be mad anymore, Rush, you’re 66!” I can’t help it. I get mad. It’s a good sign, probably. I’m watching TV, and I’m reading a lot of so-called conservative publications and blogs and websites, and if I didn’t know better… Well, no. I don’t have to qualify this.
I’m being told, you’re being told that Donald Trump does not want to tick off the Nazis or the Klan or the white supremacists, because that’s his base. Right? And he’s got to acknowledge ’em. He can’t make ’em mad. Why not? Well, because that’s who elected him. Do you realize how asinine that is, folks? Do you realize how literally stupid and dumb that line of thinking is? How many members of the Ku Klux Klan are there?
And subtract one with the death of Robert Byrd, Democrat senator from West Virginia. How many members of the Klan are there? I happen to know the number. How many neo-Nazis are there in the United States? How many registered neo-Nazis, and how many white supremacists? Do you actually think…? I’m asking all of you in this audience. Do you actually think that the people who elected Donald Trump are the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazis, and white supremacists? Is that who elected him?
Because that’s what your media is telling you, and that’s what many in your conservative media are joining with the left in saying that Trump is doing all this because Trump is trying to accommodate these wacko right-wingers ’cause that’s who voted for him, and he can’t afford to lose ’em. Or — get this, I forget who said it — that Trump will take the support of anybody who loves him. “He’s so desperate to be loved, and if the Nazis love him, you will not ever hear him condemn them.” Except that he has! He’s condemned the Nazis! He condemned the bigots.
He condemned the white supremacists and the Klan — and, you know, Trump when he was flirting with the presidency originally back in 2000 with the Reform Party, you know why he quit the Reform Party? Because David Duke joined it. He quit the Reform Party because Pat Buchanan joined it. You know, this is the party that Perot started back in 1992, or at least was founded around Perot, and Trump was flirting with a presidential bid back in 2000, 2004, whenever it was, and he quit the party the moment the Klan got their hands in it.
There is no history of Donald Trump associating with the Klan. None whatsoever. But beyond that, people are saying that Trump is insensitive and he’s boorish and he’s a pig, and now he’s sympathetic to all of these extreme right-wing groups ’cause that’s who elected him. Okay, how many members of the Klan are there, folks? Have you Wikipedia’d this yet? The number is 200,000 tops. Tops! How many white supremacists are there? Where do they live? How do you campaign for them? Where do you get their votes? Where are they registered and how do you reach them in a campaign?
And now the Nazis, the neo-Nazis, where are they? How many of them are there? Add all three of these groups. How many people are we talking about, and we’re told these are the people that elected Trump? It’s not possible, folks. It simply isn’t possible, and therefore the idea that Trump refuses to criticize them even though he has? The media says he didn’t mean it on Monday, so they’re not letting him credit for criticizing. “He didn’t really mean it in his press conference Monday.
“He showed that he won’t criticize ’em, ’cause he likes them, ’cause he needs them.” So now you’re being lied to and told that Donald Trump is president because the Klan, the Nazis, and the white supremacists are his base, and that’s why he will not condemn them. Please don’t tell me you buy into that. Please. Please don’t tell me that you have bought that. Okay, let’s go back to the phones. Here is Diane in Oklahoma. Welcome. Great to have you on the program. How are you doing?
Every pendulum has limits to its swing.
When the progressive pendulum begins the return swing, we will make sure that swing is not pretty.
At all.
Beware, progressives.
If we were china...
And if you didn’t know, the actual number of KKK in the US? Zero. The last three actual KKK wee sued into oblivion in the 1980s.
Sieg Heil!! er.....
The Cultural revolution was in middle 60’s. China fell to communism in 1948.
What is taking place is really pretty sick and twisted. We have the media and their partners in crime ramping up mass hysteria. They are intentionally creating fear and hatred. They are intentionally inspiring division and violence. What kind of people whip up this type of hysteria regardless of the consequences? This is not the first time and will not be the last - but we need to call these folks out for the harm they cause. Criminal conduct and it must be punished.

As Rush and others have said, the Media runs the ‘Rat Party now. What the Media wants the Left does.
The Media and the Left are Marxist totalitarians. There’s only one way and one way only they will be stopped.
The question now is are there enough Americans left with the stones to do it.
What year did America fall?
They changed phone numbers after they were exposed.
Actually, Dems are worse.
ISIS destroys, but doesn't erect replacement monuments; because they don't do monuments (other than mosques).
The Left's next act will be to demand the erection of monuments to Che, Mao, Stalin, MalcomX, Obama, Mandala, Black Cop-Killers, and other scumbags.
Trust me. It's coming.
Rush is so full of it today (Thursday 8/17)!
He is going on and on about why Trump can’t fire Bannon, as if he really wants Bannon gone, and he is taunting Trump to ditch him.
Does not Donald realize that Bannon is the sole voice in the WH who speaks for us?!
He is also criticizing websites like FR (not by name) which has given Trump and Bannon the attitude that Bannon got him elected.
I don’t listen to Rush or any other other radio talks show host, and haven’t for ages. I have to read his transcript first and see.
Well he and Hannity are two of the few who have stuck up for Trump, even tho Rush was late to the game and was snarky in Trump’s early days in office. I think Rush resented Trump’s success, but he fell into line. But now he is nit picking him.
Not as much as all the other pundits and former conservatives we could count on. It is now Trump against the world.
The media and left have tried hard to silence Hannity. Mentioning Jeff Rich murder almost cost him his FOX gig. And his radio sponsors were/are intimidated by left smears.
