From the Right, it is hard to choose because there are so many, but I suppose I'll choose Hannity and Limbaugh. Hannity always drives me insane whenever he calls Obama "the anointed one", even despite the President being elected twice with respectable margins of victory. The true "anointed one" was his predecessor Bush ll, who only became president due to a SC ruling that screwed up the vote tallying in FL. As for Limbaugh, I hate how he calls us the "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party". He seems to be doing it on purpose in order to try and make the case that our party is somehow undemocratic, or maybe to emphasize the "rat" part of the word "Democrat". Also, even though I'm not a woman, it makes me sick to hear him calling people "feminizis" who only want to see women on the same playing field as men and to not be insulted.
With regards to political commentators on the Left who I find annoying, it would be Cenk Ugyur and John Fugelsang. These are a couple of people who come across to me as those who expect a president to be all-powerful and to be able to magically set forth a progressive agenda without the help of Congress. Every time I hear from them, they rarely have anything positive to say about Obama. They criticize him for some things that aren't really his fault, like how UE isn't dropping as fast as everyone would like. It would be dropping much faster had our friends in the House passed his proposed Jobs Bill in 2011. And there's the matter with chained CPI, but again as I have stated on here repeatedly--it was not the President's ideal budget. They act as if he is a Republican in sheep's clothing who is so eager to cut stuff, but the President has had over 4 years and a party across the aisle more than willing to help him to enact cuts to entitlements, and he still has yet to do so. Plus there are other parts of the deal that the Left would support, such as higher top tax rates and funding for universal pre-school. And Cenk really lost me when he made the assertion that Gary Johnson, the Libertarian, was a "true progressive". Never mind the fact that his fiscal policy is even more hostile towards working-class folk than that of the average Republican. Johnson is essentially a Ron Paul clone. I just quit watching those two shows after a while. The ones I like on Current (which is the channel they come on) are Full Court Press and Talking Liberally.
