If the left is desperate to shut up Rush, he must be doing something right.

I have no problem at all with those who don't like Rush simply not listening. But no, that's not enough. The left wants to silence him like they want to silence all dissent.

Yes,lets purge the GOP.Lets throw Schmidt out first.3 commies telling the GOP what they should do.

This hand wringing and letting the media decide the who's and why's is always annoying.

That's the difference between Obama and
a President Romney. So do you really need
to throw the baby out with the bath water ?

But Brian, Hillary shrilly screamed it is every American's right to disagree with the government. Surely you don't disagree with the presumptive heir.

Brian Williams is sort of cowardly speaking behind his little mike and to some other than RUSH...Brian, don't you have the nerve to confront RUSH face to face???

Life is good these days for NBC's young Mr. Williams. A reported $250,000.00 weekly for simply showing up and reading the "DNC Talking Points," for a half-an-hour daily, Mondays through Fridays.......As for Field Marshal Steven von Schmidt, wasn't he the chief architect of our 9,522,083 voter margin landslide defeat in 2008?

In other words, serious-minded Republicans should start thinking and talking like liberals and get with the program, is that about right?

when I talk about a civil war in the Republican Party, what I mean is it`s time for Republican elected leaders to stand up and to repudiate this nonsense, and to repudiate it directly. There has been a culture of fear and intimidation that you are not a real conservative if you ...stand up to these extreme statements...the stuff should start being repudiated by responsible leaders.

I still don't know what is "extreme" about anything Rush has said. If you must call him extreme, you must then call all conservatives "extreme", because Rush doesn't tell us what to think, he reflects what we already think.

Rush has always been the first target to shut conservatism up in America. For the entire 20+ years he has been on the radio, the FCC and liberals everywhere have tried to silence him. But he is ready for yet another onslaught.

This listener will not be having any second thoughts about Rush. He is courageous under fire (and there's been plenty of fire), he's survived sudden total deafness, drug-addiction, marital problems....

....but never once has he compromised his love of country and his core conservatism. Can he be bombastic and juvenile at times? Yes. But is the voice of most conservatives? I'd say yes.

He has almost single-handedly educated American listeners to how gov't actually works and what liberals are really up to. He survived this long because he told the truth, which reflected our suspicions and our fears and our hopes.

If Rush is hushed, the biggest earthly hope conservatism has to prevail in America will be silenced. THAT is why the enemy wants him shut down.

We didn't get the base out. McCain got more votes, and that was probably because of Sarah.

Bush was reelected with more votes than Obama.

Don't take advice from Brian Williams.

"I wish we could figure out a way to bankrupt the corrupt media. "

In their pocketbook. I've cut off cable, Direct TV, canceled newspapers and magazines. It didn't hurt long and it is liberating. Blood pressure back to normal. LOL. Don't go to their movies. Get news online right here in the salon.

I will never, ever agree with Brian Williams. Rush doesn't need to be shut down, but something is wrong with him.

There were some clips of Rush on Greta last night, and he looks awful. Fat, sweating, agitated, manic. Ranting, wringing his hands. I liked the old more reasoned Rush. I don't know the guy I saw last night.

Mr. Williams, a member of the "Main Stream Media" calls for censorship of another person. The people to whom he is loyal have achieved more power, which can be used against their opponents. The United States was ("were"?) not "democracy", but rather a Republic, with supposed limits on the use of force against "minority" political elements. We may see some (more) examples of people being "shut down" over the years. By the way, I wonder what "shut down" means to Mr. Williams. Historically the people who call themselves "government" are quite expert at "shutting down" other people. Maybe they will tell us.

If it's time to shut down anyone, that would be Williams.

What a coincidence! I'd be interested in shutting down CBS, NBC, et al.

I can't do it ... but at least I'm not encouraging them by tuning in to any of their programs (with the exception of ND football games).

Brian Williams would seem to want Rush to talk and talk since he believes it hurts Republicans, so why would he want him silenced?

I think they know it was much closer than they expected, and the fraud of ballot box stuffing was the winning formula.

What we need is for a ballot resolution in California to apportion the Electoral College votes proportionally according to the winner of each Congressional District.
And champion this notion across America.

Why are Republican districts disenfranchised of their vote by alloting the states total EV on winner-take-all?

This alone would change the dynamics of future Presidential elections and campaigning since about 18 Republicans are in the House which would mean the Dems wouldn't get the 55 EV - they'd need to find 18 somewhere else.

Read #3. Then read it again. Romney would have been a great president, but face it, he was a weak and awkward campaigner. Ditto Ryan. Oblahma on the other hand is an incredibly strong campaigner and had the media on his lap as the historic first black president. Now is not the time to cave in on all our principles. Now is not the time to be for amnesty. Let the democrats own this disasterous economy, replace Reince Whatshisname, draft some quality GOP candidates and do a repeat of 2010.

Romney is a Moderate, and he avoided talk radio like the plague. Calling in twice to the Sean Hannity show just doesn't count. Romney ran the text book perfect moderate campaign, refusing to make the circuit on talk radio. As usual, it is a loser campaign. I love how the GOP is supposed to get rid of Pundits they refuse to listen to.
Only in America.

Close the Rep primaries so the East coast LIEberals can't crossover and influence our candidates. By the time we got to vote in Tejas, the squish was in!

we can bat this around but the reality is we are backed into wall and the only way out is to build, wait, plan, execute and be prepared.

Well, I did the math. Rush is one man opposing the Left, who has legions...if you shut him down then thousands of Leftist journalists also need to be shut down...fair share you know...DEAL?

The winners feel puffed up with their position. There is going to be a lot of pontification, chest beating, verbal parading going on BUT the disaster is at the feet of the Democrat, Liberal, Progressive, Socialist, Communist people in Washington. They are not immune to disaster. Brian Williams is a well paid
puppet.

I listened to Rush yesterday and an old, white, fool called in and told him something I read right here on Lucianne.com during the time we were chosing a candidate. Rush was dumbfounded and desperately trying to reason with the man to no avail. The comment? "There is no difference between Obama and Romney, they are both socialists. What difference does it make if Obama drives us over the cliff at 90 miles per hour or Romneyt drives us over the cliff at 70 miles per hour?" He went on to say that he voted for a third party candidate and "until the Party listenes to me and puts up a conservative, I will not make any contributions or vote Republican."

Sound familiar to anyone?

Brian Williams is an arrogant high school grad who married well (but not wealthy), got picked for his looks and voice to follow Brocaw, and has never ever stopped once to recognize that he doesn't follow journalistic ethics and is not actually a non-biased straight news guy. He doesn't really know what journalism is. Actually, what he has in common with Rush is that they both give OPINIONS in their broadcasts....except that Limbaugh makes no bones about him being an opinion maker and Williams masquerades (in his own mind as well) as a well respected straight journalist.

I don't like williams but if he wants to gripe about Rush that's okay. For the moment we are still America and freedom of speech is still one of our rights. However, has he ever listened to the ed show or chris matthews. They are more over the top than Rush has ever been,

Thank you #21. I am so tired of the my way or the highway whiners. The presidential election was lost this time. So we should abandon our families and friends to the left? Bring on the liverpool care pathway for the least of us. These so-called constitutional purists obviously would never have had the testicular fortitude to have fought the British and created this great nation. No, everything is not perfect so they quit.

With every word, the libs, dems, and MSM show that they are true communists, not libs or socialists, but communists. The communist playbook includes silencing your opposition. These people cannot debate, instead, they smear and demand that the opposition not be allowed to speak. That is one of the hallmarks of communists.

Brian?

Rush owns a private jet. He bought it with his own legitimate earnings.

Have a nice day, Brian.

Schmidt for brains: "And when you have these reality show hosts, like Donald Trump, who are hanging around with our presidential candidates, they are, by virtue of that, given some platform for seriousness, ... .

When you find a Republican president who walks away from viewing a real-time terrorist attack where four Americans, including an Ambassador, are killed for lack of action on his/her part, and flies out, while the fires are still burning and their bodies are still warm, to keep his scheduled publicity appearance with a nat'l t.v. talk show host, and a high-dollar fundraiser with his Hollywood buddies, you get back to us with your concerns about platforms for seriousness, ok, Steve?

The real problem is not Rush Limabaugh's free speech ideas, the problem is that the national GOP RINOS have lost touch with their base.

They didn't do much to help Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz--they had their country-clubbers types ready to go and only grudgingly supported the "Tea Party" candidates after their pretty boys were defeated.

Brian Williams is no David Brokaw, Chancellor or Brinkley...he is just a libtard pretty boy who reads daily propaganda points from the DNC--

Give us the news straight and without selective reporting--Williams should be ashamed to call himself a news journalist.

I suggest Brian listen to Rush then listen to NBC MSNBC...then come back & tell us who's radical. I think the RNC should sue abccbsnbccnn for giving the won free campaigns press....that's illegal. ...it's supposed to be equal time for all candidates from the non-media. By the way didn't nbc with Mr. Wm s rank at the bottom on election night?????
