116. WE MUST get the progressive voice out of the cities...
Mon Nov 19, 2012, 02:48 AM
Nov 2012

...and into the back hills of this country, if we EVER expect to win the minds of the people living outside the major cities.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....we have to compete with rush and sean vannity and savage and beck and ingrahm..and the rest of these seditious animals if we EVER expect to see the color blue outside of the cities. The people live in a cave of fox-nonsense.

I've driven across the country numerous times in the past ten years...and once out of the cities...there is NO liberal or progressive voice. You can often get rush and sean and savage and the rest of the cult on as many as four or more stations from one location....
BUT NO PROGRESSIVE VOICES!! How can we ever expect to drag our country out of ignorance if this continues???

Good. Both stations ought to remove Limbaugh from their programing iemitsu Nov 2012 #1
