Lefty, be careful about how you characterize those who listen to Rush, Beck, and Michael Savage. I listen to them when I can. O Reilly and Hannity too. Of course I also listen to Olberman, Meet the Press, CNN, MoveOn.Org, and a host of other liberals. Not sure what that makes me.
That depends.
Do you substitute their cynical "act/shtick" driven by the need for ratings in the name of "patriotism" for your own thoughts? (This applies more to the Becks, Olbermans and their clones competing acts.)
Is your level of debate at the "he's a Marxist get your guns or we are done for" fear driven lowest common denominator?
