We already know that Mario Cuomo, Jim Hightower, Sam Donaldson, and Bill O'Reilly really suck as talk radio hosts.

Conservatives love a good argument. Problem is, Leftists never bring one to the talk radio forum.

Basic indisputable truth follows. Leftists don't like talk radio. They don't just dislike talk radio a little they hate it. Left-wingers hate talk radio with a blue-steam, Grade A, unadulterated blinding passion. They know without a doubt that their loss of control in Washington in 1994 was due generally to talk radio and specifically to the influence of The Godfather, Rush Limbaugh. You should have read the "hate Rush" posts from the BushBots. They just didn't get it. Rush is good. He's very good.
They're playing right into the liberal hands. Boycotts and everything. No kidding!
(Liberals are little people with a Napolian complex.)

Instead the Leftists have NPR, and we're all paying for it. You would not believe what is said on the local Washington, D.C. NPR chat shows. The distance they manage to maintain from reality is shocking.

Ok you asked for it now, the liberals are calling in their big gun, op's sorry I met their little cap pistol, traitor tiny tommy dashole.
He will jump up on his little soap box, expand his puny little chest and procede to bore everybody to death with meaningless whining about the same old boring lies that are still the standard for the Dumb-O-Crats.

Boortz is off-base with this.
The people who already listen to talk radio are already aware of and immune to the left's "hate" tactic which, despite its ineffectiveness, has been in wide use for decades now.
People who dislike talk radio -- and there are many such -- are also not greatly influenced when the Left affixes the "hate" label, primarily because it's now used so casually that they ignore it.
The only people for whom "hate" is effective are leftists or other disaffected folks, most of whom are not going to listen to -- much less be influenced by -- talk radio anyway.
With this column Boortz is demonstrating something that is damaging to conservatives and to talk radio: the declaration that the other side is "the enemy," whereby political differences are no longer something to be discussed and dismissed, but where instead "the left" is accused of a nefarious plot against talk radio.
In addition to being silly, this shifts the debate away from the real issues, where leftists invariably lose, to the leftists themselves. Ironically, Boortz has tilted the battle the left's favor, as their expertise in victimology allows them to apply the "hate" label.
When Boortz begins making these wild-eyed personal accusations, I begin to feel sorry for the poor schmuck who has to clean the spit off his microphone. That's the sort of thing the left can use to make the "hate" label stick.

"Fairness Doctrine." I'm pretty sure they tried this when Rush started getting popular. It was the "Hush Rush" idea. I remember Katy Couric on the edge of her seat , desperately trying to convince someone that it was only "fair" to make radio station give liberals enough time to convince everyone not to be conservative. That only helped prove to me how biased the media was. I never trusted her (or the others) even a little bit after that.

Radio is for thinking people; television is the natural environment of boobs, who always vote for liberals.

What comments...like she looks hot in a leather bikini? That she is a hypocritical, closed minded bigot? You don't have to be a socialist to see that....just open your eyes.

The problem the commies have with this campaign is that any controversial radio or TV show is
already radioactive to potential advertisers - ever since the gays and lesbians destroyed Dr. Laura's TV show with threats of boycotts of advertisers.
Now, no issue-oriented show can get Fortune 500 sponsors. Rush has a huge audience - but crappy sponsors. Dr. Laura still has a huge radio audience - but her former Fortune 500 sponsors are all gone.
The Left is now a victim of its earlier success!
