Re: air america radio



That basically sums up the problem of Air America.  Talk radio on the
right never gets more angry with right-wingers to the right of the
Republican Party than with liberals and leftists whom they simply and
smartly classify in the same category.  That's right-wing talk radio's
recipe for success.  In contrast, Air America concentrates its fire on
Ralph Nader, rather than firing up angry liberals and leftists against
the Republican Party.

Response (Jim C): It is the problem with liberalism in general. They are
so hung up on appearances and appearing "reasonable", "open-minded" etc.
I can still remember vividly and often my dear mother's definition of
the typical liberal: "One whose heart bleeds, so piously and so
sincerely, but always with other people's blood." She detested liberals
as she saw them as "caring" about the oppressed only in such forms and
levels as they would not have to invest anything serious--other than
pious words and cliches--in their liberation.
