Why do people make fun of the idea of liberal talk radio? I have no objections. And I expect they'll eventually get it right one of these days. If the liberals can put somebody on the air who doesn't ooze contempt for middle-class Americans and their values, they might pull it off.
But finding a liberal who actually likes America and Americans might be something of a challenge. Pick up a copy of, say, The Nation, and get an eyeful of the condescension and contempt for ordinary folk that has so permeated the Left. Or consider the articles by liberal pundits who profess themselves "alienated" by Dubya's frequent quoting of the Bible and references to God. Most Americans don't find that the least bit troubling. Liberals do; they look at people who really take religion seriously as if they were visiting from Mars.
It's one of their biggest weaknesses and few of them seem to realize it. I actually hope they eventually get this sorted out. Then the country might have a healthy Left--and I think that'd be a good thing for all of us.

We all - including Rush - need to stop telling them what they are doing wrong.

It will never work because the liberal manifesto only works when these people don't have to defend their socialist ideas to people with a brain. That's why liberal opinions work better in editorial pages and on television. They can make their silly claims and retreat with no one to question them. Doesn't work on a live three hour radio show. All it would take to expose the liberal way of thinking as the dinosaur that it is, is one FReeper to get through the call screener and and hit them with the truth.
