Reply #165: I agree up to a point. But if rw radio is as "successful" as you say then why do the polls

[cui bono]

show that most people are for raising taxes on the rich? For Medicare? For so many things that rw radio rails against?

But again, I totally agree that we need to take it on somehow, I just don't think we can blame the whole thing on that machine. The left plays a large part in all of it by not being as vocal and by being unwilling to stand up to the right. And I mean all the people as well as the politicians. Not just Obama, although he certainly should be calling out the lying rw politicians at press conferences, but also Reid who lets them simply say the word filibuster to make him back down.

The right may be wrong on policy but they have the cojones that the left just doesn't have. And the more we play victim the less we will fight back since we think it's impossible to do anything just because the Republicans have one of three branches of govt.

And speaking of rw radio... is Rush still on the Armed Forces radio? That is disgusting. They should put Thom Hartmann on to balance that out if they keep Rush.
