If you can get a copy of the New York Times, go to the Art Section, and read the article by Frank Rich on Liberals and talk radio and talk tv.
One of the things he sights is right-wingers are much more angry than liberals. That's why they can get over better. Their anger fuels their attack style, and attack humor.
To me there's plenty top make of fun of both sides.
But it's hard to do on the radio because people want you to belong to something. Either you are with them or against them.
There's much to the left I like and believe in. There's also much I find full of shit. I also find some of what the right has to say as very valid.
It's the hate speech on the right, and the anger, that gets me down. Look, there's one host on WLS, who equates Gays with dogs.
Who has it out for anyone on the left in the worse McCarthyite way.
Who needs this kind of crap?
Do you?
I don't. Let's have an honest exchange of ideas, and try to look at what needs to be fixed in this country instead of acting like a bunch of verbal storm troopers.
Do I sound angry?
I guess I might be.
