The left will do anything to shut down conservative voices.
And they always start with Rush Limbaugh because he is the most famous talk radio host in America.
So one MSNBC contributor tried to take out Rush with this big lie.
MSNBC Contributor Smears Rush Limbaugh With This Big Lie
Steve Schmidt is one of the biggest Never-Trumpers in America.
Schmidt – who gained his fame by running John McCain’s losing campaign in 2008 and stabbing Sarah Palin in the back to the liberal media – rants and raves on TV and social media about the evils of Donald Trump.
He made his living convincing Republicans to support RINOs like Arnold Schwarzenegger and John McCain.
But Schmidt recently set his sights on Rush Limbaugh and other conservative media figures in the wake of the tragedy at the Tree of Life synagogue.
He appeared on ‘All In with Chris Hayes’ and huffed and puffed about Limbaugh and others having “blood on their hands” for inspiring this anti-Semitic bigot.
Schmidt ranted:
Kellyanne Conway, despicably, today goes on national television, she said, well, this shooter’s movies were because there is an antireligious sentiment. No, ma’am. The propaganda industry that she commands, with the vile president that she serves, abetted by Mark Levin, and Rush Limbaugh, and Breitbart, and NewsBusters and Judicial Watch and all the rest of them, have blood on their hands for the incitements that they have made that have triggered and radicalized these crazy people. It is deliberate in intent. He scapegoats minority populations. He alleges conspiracies. He creates a sense of shared and virtuous victimhood, positions himself as the avenger, and there is no cost too high, so long as it benefits his narcissism, so long as it benefits him politically.
Why The Left Wants To Silence Conservative Media
Liberals hate the fact that other opinions are allowed in America.
The driving force behind modern liberalism is the desire to “de-platform” their opponents.
CNN tried this with Sean Hannity in 2017 and failed.
However, the left-wing activists at CNN succeeded in pressuring social media companies to ban pro-Trump radio host Alex Jones for spreading “hate speech.”
The liberals who run the big tech firms agreed and vaporized Jones online presence.
And Limbaugh is always in their crosshairs.
Before he came on the air in 1988, the only media in control leaned left.
There were three broadcast networks, CNN, and the major papers like the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Americans received a media diet made of only left-wing talking points.
So the left has tried many boycott campaigns to force Rush and other conservative talk radio hosts off the air.
Schmidt’s rant on MSNBC may preview their next line of attack.
When a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter tried to assassinate Republican members of Congress, the media pretended to care for an hour and then quickly swept the story under the rug.
There was no suggestion that Sanders – or the rhetoric from the media that the shooter had consumed – was to blame.
But now liberals think they have an advantage.
And they will use it to try and shut down more conservative media.
