I hope you will listen to this in it's entirety. I found it to be truly appalling.

It was interesting, but, like most of Moyers pieces, somewhat slanted.


I will agree wholeheartedly that the entire political discourse in this country has become much crasser over the last 20-30 years.

yes it's scary. and there is no recourse. as long as people who want to hear ignorant, illogical, over-the-top emotional appeals - then this will perpetuate. fits with the psychological profile of fanatical conservatism. let's be scary.

and please note i said "fanatical" which i would not consider the same as mainstream conservatism.

Oh, yes, I agree with you there on it being just as bad if not worse in the 17 and 1800's. Back then the party that won was president, and the opposing party was vice president! Can you imagine that! My DH and

What scares me is the mentality of the people who listen to them. Fine, if they just listen for a laugh or two,but some are sick enough to believe what they say.

Can I assume you feel the same way about those who listen to Air America?

i don't listen to Air America. do they dehumanize their opponents across the board? in other words, can you put ALL commentators on Air America into the category of "shock jock"?

and you know i will ask for references, not just opinion.

I have never listened to AIR America. If it's as mean and nasty as people like Michael Savage and Glenn Beck and Rush and O'Reilly and Coulter, I would guess I'd question them also.

It's so convenient that none of you have listened to Air America. How very interesting...
