28. I've been listening to right wing radio this week

Nov 2012

I was visiting relatves in a rural area this week and so i spent a lot of time driving around and thought I'd listen to right wing radio to hear the reactions to the election drubbing of Romney.

From what i heard, the right wing radio hosts didn't learn anything and it sound as if they are going to continue on with the same messages that have made their audience an increasingly marginalized group. I didn't hear much reflection or introspection and instead heard plenty of the same anger and blame the Democrats for being traitors that have been the norm for decades. Some of the callers were demoralized and seeking reassurance and the responses they got from the various radio hosts was that Democrats were stupid and wanting to exploit the hard working Republicans and give to lazy minorities.

So, the good news for us is that the right wing (at least the radio component) will continue driving their listeners off the cliff.
