It's not fair!
You Conservatives have the talk radio market locked up because your hosts are viewed as interesting while the Liberal ones either never get a loyal following, or just crash and burn.
When people go to an art museum, should they only look at the "pretty pictures" or, for their own good, should be compelled to look at less traditional, modern art that challenges them? The same principle applies with talk radio. Your guys admittedly are very entertaining, but radio should be more than just pure entertainment. It should be a conduit for disseminating vital information, such as the Liberal agenda!
So, while people may be entertained by listening to that smooth talker O'Reilly, the need for people to hear the important Liberal side of issues should trump personal choice and therefore we should forcibly make people listen to Liberal talk radio. In Canada they have a law that 50% of the music played must be from Canadian bands. Shouldn't the same idea apply here?
People just have to accept that we Liberals know what is best for them. If we let people choose, they'll listen to people like Limbaugh and O'Reilly. For the good of the nation, we cannot permit this to continue. We want freedom of choice, and it appears that government intervention is what is required in order to make people listen to the Liberal analysts.
It only makes sense. Remember, you're never going to get a fine appreciation of art if you only look at the "pretty paintings" at the museum. Similarly, you're never going to hear the Liberal perspective if entertainment value is your sole motivation.

Apparently not. Heck they would not even listen to it which is why it failed. No one wants to listen to garbage.
Now however, they do not want us listening to stuff we do enjoy since what we enjoy goes against their socialist philosophy.
BTW, I asked a question about the Shadow Party that Soros owns, you know, the one that owns the democratic party. Well I asked if there were any Dems that disagreed with this socialist control of their party. None answered, so I guess all Dems are socialists now.

Quite personally I really do not listen to Air America. So I guess I will stick with the internet, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report and Little Bush for my amusment.

RP, I'm 57 years old and was a rightie all my life until King George came along. Now, I'm a leftie He makes me afraid, he makes me very afraid for my children and grandchildren. He makes me afraid even for you and all your rightie friends. Remember, what gets taken away from me, gets taken away from you too.
Now, having said all that, I must agree with you. I don't like listening to all the sniveling and whining either so I don't listen to those stations. Even when they make a point I agree with about something that is wrong, they blame it on the righties. Well, why didn't they stand up to the righties and stop them.
We've all got problems, pal, lefties and righties. If you truly care about the constitution and our freedoms, I hope you will take an interest in learning about Ron Paul. If you like what you learn put your money where your mouth is and support him.

The socialists are hoping that the tiny vibrations in the air from their radio waves will penetrate our brains and subliminally cause us to convert to super-liberals.
The only thing it has done for me so far is to change me from a right-handed person to a left-handed person.
Perhaps they should have done more research on that.
PS, I am pretty sure tin hats do not protect against the liberal radio waves, but anybody who tries it, please post back on Answers and let us know. Thanks!
