Listen to any conservative talk show and within minutes you are bombarded by an angry tirade against so called liberals (many of whom are moderate conservatives).
Yet when a liberal or moderate conservative ever speaks their mind on an issue conservatives mock them for being angry liberals. Am i missing something or is it that conservatives believe they have a monopoly on "righteous anger"?
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what you think about it.

I was a conservative. It was simple, easy to understand, it appealed to all your worst human instincts and said it was OK. Then I grew up. A simple fantasy says you can walk into Iraq and steal their oil, reality shows you can't, and you should have had enough morality and humility and humanity and decency and perspective to know you couldn't and shouldn't do things like that. When I was a conservative it was educational hearing them talk--a big streak of bigotted hate ran thru all their thinking, they do think Blacks are inferior, they do think Latinos are dirty and inferior, they do think Catholics are idolaters--they hate just about everybody, and conservative talk shows and politicians prey on that hate, they say its good, its the way things should be. I think it is impossible to appeal to the worst in people without encouraging it. And that is why our society is going down the toilet.

As my mom would say more heat less light.
The angry liberals provide nothing as far as solutions.
I have seen them never answer questions but dodge them and go on their rants.
(many of whom are moderate conservatives) You got proof of that?
I have tune in on Air America and liberals do the same thing.
The whole idea seems to be if you insult the other side long enough they will win them over.
That doesn't work either.
Reasonable debate when it comes right vs left is not happening.
Each side holds on the belief they are right and the other is wrong.
Each side holds on myths like Bush lie about WMDs or liberals love Muslim terrorists.

Ever listen to Air America (well,when it had all 3 listeners). Randi Rhodes uses gun shot sound effects when she talked about Bush. And let me say this,all 3 listeners were screeching like cats in heat.

Great observation: Its because those conservative pundits don't realize the difference between self-righteous indignation and righteous anger.

Same on liberal side. You actually think either party is interested in debate they are just there to pander to the zealots on both sides.

I disagree completely. The most successful radio talk show hosts don't use anger in their programs. Or very little of it.
That is why Air America failed. All it was, was uneducated, hateful drivel.
