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

Bea, I rarely listen to AirAmerica, but I've heard Randy Rhodes call Bush & Co "Nazis" and "Stormtroopers" on the air.

Our of curiosity, since folks are claiming the left engages in shock jock tactics "just as readily" as the right, what are the relative number of minutes left shock jocks are on the air each say as opposed to right wing shock jocks?

And who are these left wing shock jocks? I don't think I have ever heard of one and I live in a blue state!

Beats me, I don't listen to talk radio and I guess we rarely have a left leaning person link or post one of their tirades as evidence of something or another.

It's not right to say that, but unfortunately because of the way he acts, it's true. The way he made fun of Michael J Fox

Chomsky does not have a radio or television program where he can continually spew to a regular audience. His books are widely read - in some circles. Probably there are more people who have read the cliff notes version (or have not read it at all) than have read the actual books.

Savage, Coulter, Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity are staggeringly spiteful people. They're like a bunch of playground bullies vying for attention by daring each other to take things to the next level. And they do it incessantly, relentlessly. And there aren't many people who actually stand up to them in the mainstream media.

They may well disavow any connection to that TN Church shooting, but it's as hollow as when Pierce denied having prompting Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Murrow building.

Every single day of the year, this collection of propagandists fill people's heads with the most idiotic and hateful crap - and every single audience member believes he "thinks for himself." Anyone who questions them or their cause in any serious way is labeled a traitor or a liberal - and their minions repeat it - THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT!

I'll definitely agree on Savage.
