Very true- And you can add Laura Ingraham- one of the most annoying radio personalities. The two of them simply reiterate the same talking points as Rush Limbaugh.
An educated idiot is still an idiot. Anyone who compares Keyes to Mussolini is on drugs.
The SMART ones will tune in to see Dr. Keyes and forget the rest of MSNBC's programming. They sre still just another propoganda arm for the RATS and SOCIALIST party.
It's not just her voice. It's her attitude and ideas.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh yeah, that coveted conservative black/latino vote. How could we forget that? The pro-life vote PALES in comparison to that juggernaut.
Whether one likes or dislikes Keyes ( I dislike) some reality has to be considered. MSNBC has certainly not had a sudden conversion, so an ulterior motive is highly suspected. They hope for Bush bashing or to overdose and annoy "moderate" viewers with Keyes and then paint him the poster child of extremists. Fair or not, his brand of speech can turn a lot of people off and what better tool for MSNBC to use to counter Bush's popularity. Some things don't add up regardless of Keyester enthusiasm. It is often true, "Be careful what you wish for."
Mmmm... But I can imagine him taking on some blinded-by-ideology Berserkely professors. I can't wait.
And Rush and Jim Quinn basically reiterate what we've discussed at Free Republic a day or two before they bring it up, so it may be that the radio shows are essentially useless.
Who knew that I'd ever even want MSNBC? :^)
