#2 The success of conservative AM talk radio is that there was NO OTHER OUTLET for the majority of Americans to hear views like their own. So, the conservatives took over a long-abandoned, moribund medium, AM radio (are you kidding me? AM radio?!?) and made into something that people would want to listen to. This rightly outrages liberals, who never compete in the marketplace of ideas when they can outlaw competing thought. I mean, does anyone really think that AM radio is out of control? I'm talking about A M freaking RADIO!

#3 But the libs did compete in the marketplace of AM radio. Their problem was that they were thoroughly trounced.

#4 I was listening to some liberal talk show where the anchor (or whatever you call them) was talking about how everyone had to give up all their irrational fears over the proposed healthcare system.

If that's the best they have to offer, then they're going to continue to get trounced until they outlaw the medium, which will make them right in their minds.

You have to give up all your irrational fears of big government, newc. Just sit back and let them take care of you. You'll be fine. Honest. /sarc

BTW, government studies have shown that listening to NPR will put you to sleep and Air American would cause you to either change the station or to just turn off the radio. But the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin will raise your blood pressure. Therefore, under provisions of the new health care reform bill, the Department of Health and Human Services has decreed that these angry and conservative talk radio hosts will be banned from the airwaves.

"Barack Obama will require you to work ... Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." -- Michelle Obama

Citizen, you are now now the government's bitch. Now shut your piehole and do as you're told.

#7 âThink of the press [media] as a great keyboard on which the government can play.â

Joseph Goebbels

And so in the end the so-called "diversity chief" title is not about diversity at all but about tyranny and the scrapping of the Bill of Rights.
