I don't recall Rush ever urging his listeners to rush out and cut off peoples hands and feet. They do that in Africa, but I just can't see Rush doing that. I don't recall him suggesting stoning is a good idea either...although I did hear a Dem suggest it on TV once. I guess that's ok though.

I can't agree with the author that opposing sides should calm down and find common ground. I think the recent polarization of America is a GOOD THING. Let's rid ourselves of the illusion that we all inhabit the middle ground, the gray area between liberal and conservative. If 9/11 has shown us anything, it's revealed to us the gaping canyon between our two dominant ideologies.
Is a friend or co-worker an appeaser or a fighter? A patriot or a blamer? A socialist or a capitalist? A citizen or a party loyalist?
These are things I WANT TO KNOW about my fellow citizens, and if the gap between FOX/INTERNET right and Mainstream Press LEFT widens I say Bring it On! These are... finally... interesting times. The dull days of polite nonpartisanship are over, and good riddance.
Me? I'm enjoying the journey more than ever.

Everything always seems to revolve around African behavior examples lately... More idiocy from the stupid people. We call them liberals.

This trend is troubling to me because my work involves developing ways to use the talk-show format as a tool for understanding here and abroad. The threat the Democrats are feeling may be real - Republicans may indeed gain some votes in the short term by igniting partisan fireworks over the airwaves à la Bill O'Reilly, but in the end we all lose. I can see it right now what the leftists' newest slogan is going to be: "Ritalin to tranqualize your kids and liberal talk radio to tranqualize you!".

How sad for us that as Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, and Burundi are using the talk-show format to create a culture more conducive to democratic values, ours is looking more and more like the media they are seeking to transform. What planet does this insane twit live on?
I notice the BBC carrying a story today on the widespread systematic rape by all sides in their civil war in Sierra Leone. Even child soldiers raping women older than their grandmothers.
Allafrica.com is carrying a story on the increasing repression in Liberia.
In Nigeria they recently murdered a couple of hundred people over what some felt to be an insult to Mohammad in a newspaper.
ABC news today tells of another 30,000 displaced in the ongoing civil war in Burundi.

Speaking of talk radio, why haven't the cry babies bemoaning the lack of competition to el rushbo realize that there is already a strong liberal talk show marketplace in America? I mean, if hitlery! really wants to support liberal talk radio then she could promote it, listen to it and even appear on it as much as she wants. They would be fawning over her and other liberal leaders if they would appear.
What, you haven't heard miz hitlery? talk about the liberal talk radio hosts who have up to a million unique visitors per day, even though they are barely syndicated? Why hasn't she pushed for clear channel to push the syndication of these already successful talk radio hosts? Hmmm?
Because the liberal talk radio hosts that command such large audiences are on urban oriented radio stations. While I only know of a few urban total-talk hosts, such as John Wiley Price in Dallas, the urban format is a mix of talk, preaching and music. If they want a radio audience, get on Tom Joyner's program. I bet he still gets a million unique listeners a day. She could be on radio everyday in NYC just on someone's program as a celebrity voice.
The fact is that she doesn't listen to liberal talk radio because it is primarily on urban stations. It's not her culture. Instead she only gets on TV when it suits her, and ignores urban stations except around election time. And to admit it would indicate how much she uses black voters.
The Man is still oppressing the people. His name is hitlery.
