YOUR TYPICAL practitioner of right-wing hate radio, whose daily rants feature not just a radical ideology but healthy doses of sexism, racism and homophobia, doesn't ordinarily get to interview someone like the vice president.But there was Dick Cheney just last month cozying up to Rush Limbaugh - and not for the first time.

I don't believe that the majority of Americans hate... It's the minority (and we know who the minority is).

Instead of listening to right wing hate radio we can listen to left wing hate newspapers. Listen to their hate of America, Christianity and the broad middle class culture and the common person in this country in particular.

I'd say a radio station that sponsors contests where women smack each other around to win concert tickets qualifies more as "hate radio".....but what do I know? see link...

Typical smear tactics. Rather than ADDRESS THE ISSUES RAISED on talk radio, just smear it as mean spirited and bigoted. If there's such rampant prejudice there should be plenty of examples, but most of these type of barf-inducing articles don't bother to present evidence for their charges.

Kinda makes you think that they KNOW they can't win by discussing the issues, since they avoid doing so.

I've got to give them Savage. Sometimes listening to him I wonder if he should have gotten a rabies shot.

Like a comedian said at a show last night, "there's so much hate in the world, and I hate that."

If I try and answer that question honestly then in my opinion, I could see where Michael Savage comes across as a hater. That may not be popular sentiment here in the FreeRepublic but it is just an opinion of mine, after all. And you did ask.

It isn't the right wing of America who is INTOLERANT - look left and you'll find extreme hatred and radical politics!
