I just heard on FOX News, comments by Sen. Daschle who in addition to complaining about the lousey Homeland Security Bill, said that over his years in the Senate he has become concerned about the influence of right wing media, especially talk programs and he named Limbaugh.
Fox's political reporter said that in Daschle's comments today, he likened them to the Taliban and the Mullah's who teach hate.
Why is it always only the right wing talk shows that are so criticized? Phil Donahue and his ilk preach hatred, not Limbaugh. Please may this too fall his little head.
We'll be stuck listening to Neil Rogers and Tom Leykis all damn day long...
The Democrats seem to have bought into the idea that they need to throw some red meat to their base. But they seem oblivious to what they sound like to everyone else. To tell 30 million voters that they are hatemongers insults them and angers them. They know better, and they're going to remember what this guy said come election day. For every liberal yahoo who cheers when he hears Daschle getting "tough" on those evil Republicans, there's one evil Republican and one mystified independent wondering when it became popular for elected officials to insult the voters. |
Maybe he should look a little closer to home!

Limbaugh's audience is sufficiently large that it is not possible to demonize him, except to the hard-core Democratic base who have never listened to Limbaugh anyway. So here is Daschle once again preaching to his choir, while simutanously alienating the 30 or so million voters who are at least somewhat familiar with Limbaugh and who know that this kind of demonization is nonsense.
