Rush Limbaugh: Liberals should be "silenced" and "not be allowed to buy guns"

Crosspost from tumblr. Here's the transcript. Rush and a caller also say that the Tucson shooter is a "liberal," which is hilarious enough, but then it took a turn for the terrifying.

"I’ve got the solution to all this. I’ve got the solution to most crime in America. From this day forward, somebody propose it, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns. It’s just that simple. Liberals should have their speech controlled and not be allowed to buy guns. I mean if we want to get serious about this, if we want to face this head on, we’re gonna have to openly admit, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns, nor should they be allowed to use computer keyboards or typewriters, word processors or e-mails, and they should have their speech controlled. If we did those three or four things, I can’t tell you what a sane, calm, civil, fun-loving society we would have. Take guns out of the possession, out of the hands of liberals, take their typewriters and their keyboards away from ‘em, don’t let ‘em anywhere near a gun, and control their speech. You would wipe out 90% of the crime, 85 to 95% of the hate, and a hundred percent of the lies from society."


Well, here it is. With the Republican Party trailing further and further right every day, one of them finally went full on fascist and proposed that all opposition should be silenced, and their means of fighting back taken away. If he was trying to discourage me from potential gun ownership, then it had the exact opposite effect. Now my urge to own a gun is stronger than ever.
