In that case, you must have overlooked my comments about propagandists
in general (left and right). Take another pass through the thread, and
you'll see that my comments about propagandists are not exclusively
directed at the right wing- even though the right wing has the majority
of the audience at the moment. Divisive hate speech and stereotypcial
absolutes promoted by the left are just as damaging as that same
activity from the well known propagandists setting the political and
philosophical tone for much of the right wing.
I actually know a handful of reasonable, rational, sincere and
thoughtful conservatives. These people cannot be characterized with the
same brush that articles like the one posted by basskisser attempts to
apply to conservatives in general. Most of the reasonable, rational,
sincere and thoughtful conservatives I know don't subscribe to the
"liberals all do this, that or something else......" nonsense either.
They are too reasonable, rational, sincere and thoughtful to buy into
that simplistic crap.
One point stands regardless; Most of the time when you hear a right
winger use the terms "shrill" or "whine", it is context of a statement
of train of thought currently being promoted by one of the prominent
right wing radio personalities.
Most of the time I don't hear it. In fact, until you and bk started talking
about it, I don't recall *ever* hearing it. But then, I tune into Hannity for
about 10 minutes only on those occasions when I'm waiting for my wife at the
metro.
But, I don't listen to Air America either, so I can't say *anything* about the
liberal radio folks. I assume they're all 'fair and balanced'?

I can't agree or disagree about "liberal" radio, as I never go out of
my way to listen to any overtly liberal programming. I don't know that
"Air America" is even on the dial in my area of the country. I try to
listen for at least a few minutes each day to the local and nationally
syndicated right wing talk shows. It is enlightening and beneficial to
tune into the comments of folks with whom I typically disagree.
Listening only to people you generally agree with most or all of the
time does not foster any personal growth.
