"the country was being talked to death by conservative zealots like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and others."

Ironically enough... Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and O'Reilly were actually in response to years of left wing papers and magazines back when there WAS no forum for Conservatives. Thanks to Rush, G Gordon Liddy, in the early 90's and FreeRepublic, Drudge et al, in the late 90's we are now a force to be reckoned with.

Hell, who brought the protest back? It was FreeRepublic in October of '98 witk the march on D.C.

And what a march it was, too.

Seeing Jim Rob at the head of the column of EVERY STATE in the UNION - and all the armed services - brought a tear of pride to me eyes. How great it was to realize that so many people felt so strongly about their country. Breathtaking.

Yes, and why do the libs need to do talk radio? They already have the left wing papers and much of the TV media, so they can get their viewpoint out there. And if they want to
respond to Fox News, conservative blogs, etc., they can do
it via their OWN establihment media (CNN, NPR, NY Times,
B. Globe) etc.
They wanted to do talk radio to counter what was already
a counter-movement --and to them, if the only viewpoint
ever heard in media is the leftist one, it's fine with them.
And it WAS that way for years.
