I can't stand the medium myself, but when I do on occasion listen to it, its almost ALWAYS conservative talk radio.

Why in the hell would I listen to someone I agree with fir 3-4 hours? That's asenine and boring.

Prager is a conservatre, albeit more respectful and intellectual than Limbaugh, but he is still a conservative. The fact that you consider him moderate shows how partisan and extreme your views are. Which is exactly what talk radio is

You speak out of your ass, knowing nothing of what you speak of. I listened to it, in an attempt to be a conservative caller to counter their BS, but couldn't stomach the hate (like I can't stomach YOUR hate).

I hate evil, you hate good, Huge difference.

Typical talk radio talking points.

By the way, anyone that listens to NPR knows that they take few callers, for most of their shows (excluding the hobby ones) there is not a big focus on the callers

Everyone can judge for themselves what a LIAR you are.

This is my post in its entirety.

That may be true, to some degree, but for a moderate voice, listen to Dennis Prager. His tone is moderate, but he is right-on on his facts. He to recognizes how wrong Obama is for America.

Now as you can see I never said he was A moderate, and even stated it is his tone is moderate.

Further, your hateful statement that being conservative is extremest shows just what a HATER you are.

Yes, I discoverd that as well. They leave no room for a dissenting voice. Another reason to leave them as Jetsom in the passage of Humanity through the sea of life.

There's no accounting for some folks' taste.

That's why I called them out on it. I've noticed Libs are reall good at calling other all sort of hateful things (witness the venom spewed at Sarah Palin, for example), but get high, mighty and pompous when somebody returns fire.

We get used to it, because I am going to return fire until you haters stop.
