I have just recently travelled thru parts of the USA and while we were on the road whenever I could I would listen to Rush, Dr Laura and finish it off with Michael Savage.
Rush really appeared lame most of the time. The worst insult from him appears to be calling someone a liberal. That was his arguement. Disagree with him - you're a liberal, listen to NPR - liberal etc.
Savage was the funniest. As I was listening to him - and I think he is probably quite an intellegent being - I couldn't help wondering whether some of the outrageously funny things he was saying he actually believed. The scary part is his listeners in all likelihood take his word seriously.
What I found lacking was any "leftwing" talk on the radio while driving around and thru "smalltown" America. I know it has to exist but I couldn't find it.
Loved your country; hate your government. The Shrub will be here in Australia next week and some protests are planned in parliament during his address there.
