Awesome post Snipe
The most hilarious thing I saw was John Lofton a conservative author and journalist who had a show called "It's only politics". He took on James Carville about a book Carville had released. James was at a loss for words and Lofton wasn't cutting any slack LOL.
I also first heard of Bill Lind on N.E.T. He and Brad Keena {IIRC is Janet Parshall's brother} called The Next Revolution. Lind Penned "The origins of Political Correctness". Lind predicted many things happening today including the dividing of the nation into a cultural war. You had to either have a cable company that carried the network or a C-Band Big Dish Satellite System to watch it. Free Republic came later on for me. My late cousin told me about it.
