\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Daniel Henninger. I have quoted his work here over the course of the many years that I have been hosting this program because, when I started, I was it. I was the only talk radio program out there. Now there\u2019s all kinds of them. When I started this program, there were 125 radio stations that were doing talk as a format, and today there\u2019s close to 2,000. It\u2019s been that way for a while.<\/p>\n

I mean, the growth rate was phenomenal once this show took off. You know, the media\u2019s a copycat. National shows sprung up. My guest hosts got their own shows then local radio stations wanted to get in on the act. Conservative talk radio just took off. As such, it has become a “thing.” Conservative radio is its own entity. These people in the media treat it as a monolith, that everybody in it thinks does the same thing. And, of course, like all mistakes made about large groups of people, talk radio\u2019s not monolithic. But Mr. Henninger here has a piece in his column at the Wall Street Journal. It\u2019s actually from yesterday.<\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s called “Paul Ryan and the Trumpians<\/a>.” “One day after the path cleared to the Ryan speakership, a sub-faction of conservatives said they were furious at . . . the Freedom Caucus!” the conservatives in the House. “You\u00c2\u2019ve heard of road rage? Politics now seems to have its own instant-anger phenomenon — radio rage. That\u00c2\u2019s fine. The political raging on the radio is entertaining, a testament to the market system,” and I get lumped in with all this. This whole monolithic it thing. So whenever… It usually is aimed at me if there\u2019s no name given. Who is “radio rage” in this country? And I have not been raging at the conservatives in the House!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, all I\u2019m saying… Look, here\u2019s the thing: I\u2019ve cited Daniel Henninger\u2019s Wall Street Journal work I can\u2019t tell you how many times, and always favorably because he frequently comes up with — and this is hard to do — a unique interpretation of events when there\u2019s just a flood of media out there. Do you realize how hard it is to be original? I\u2019m one of the few pulls it off, and Henninger is one of the others. But this thing with talk radio… These people in the conventional media just have such a distaste for it. They try to dismiss it, impugn it. <\/p>\n

And, as I say, they treat it as a monolith. “Well, everybody in radio is X, Y, and Z. They\u2019re raging, angry, all of this.” I\u2019ve not talked about this much because it\u2019s inside baseball, and I don\u2019t want to come off as whining. But for crying out loud, again, 125 radio stations doing talk radio when I started; over 2,000 today. Even people that we think are our friends are now out there trying to impugn and castigate the whole genre as populated by Looney Toon radical extremist loudmouths, as exemplified by this pull quote from Henninger\u2019s piece.<\/p>\n

“One day after the path cleared to the Ryan speakership, a sub-faction of conservatives said they were furious at … the Freedom Caucus!” This is the House conservative members. “You\u2019ve heard of road rage? Politics now seems to have its own instant-anger phenomenon — radio rage.” I wonder, has Mr. Henninger ever written of Obama\u2019s rage at climate change? Obama\u2019s rage over the lack of things done that he wants done, such as amnesty and so? <\/line><\/p>\n

Why is it always us that are tarred and feathered with this dismissive, “Ah, they\u2019re just a bunch of angry, out-of-control what have yous”? “Radio rage.” Now, Henninger writes, “That\u2019s fine. The political raging on the radio is entertaining, a testament to the market system. The best reaction to the ‘sellout\u2019 charge came from Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a Ryan supporter in the Freedom Caucus, who was asked if he feared the pitchforks back home. No, replied Mr. Buck, ‘I\u2019m the guy with the pitchfork.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So they lump everybody that does this all together, and they don\u2019t name any names. All I can tell you is, I have never ripped the conservative caucus in the House. I have never ripped anybody in that caucus. I haven\u2019t ripped anybody about what they\u2019ve done with Ryan or any of that, as it relates specifically to the conservative caucus. It\u2019s just… I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just more of the same. It\u2019s laziness. If you\u2019re calling people out, call \u2019em out! You want to go and tar and feather an entire branch of the media, it kind of gives us an indication that you\u2019re mad at us or you don\u2019t like us or you\u2019re afraid of us. <\/p>\n

And I guarantee you when you talk about the journalists, it all revolves around amnesty.<\/p>\n

All this anger and animus revolves around amnesty, because they want it and we don\u2019t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
