116. Bingo....This Is Nothing But Desperation
Democrats won a large victory last November DESPITE hate radio. They threw their best and not only lost the White House, but none of their candidates...Rudeee, Thompson and Hucklenutz never made it. They had little influence over their own listeners.

IMHO, it's the Rushbos that have been HELPING Democrats when they open their pieholes. Rushbo spews slime at Michael J. Fox and the GOOP loses their ass in '06. His "operation chaos" was a total bust or else we'd be "saluting" president McCain. His audience has shrunk...as has all of hate radio. Yes, the format...and sadly, the medium are in their death throes.

The strength of a democracy is the ability to deal with the demogogues. Sure, they get attention and are a threat, but in the end, they always find a way to make themsleves irrelevant or alienate more than they influence.

Cheers...
