Reply #24: You're so correct...

I was so incredibly happy the first time I heard AAR programming. I was down in S. Florida on vacation and it was like getting a shot of life saving insulin, or something like that. Where I'm from, in Western NY, it has been 24 hour right wing hate speech, Limpballs and the usual suspects, on talk radio for the last decade. We get Democracy Now from a low power AM station from Niagara Falls and a few hours of local progressive talk on that same station, but that's about it. Now I listen to AAR on line.
I for one appreciate the full spectrum of discussion and dissent on AAR. From the well tempered Al Franken, to the great Randi, and on to that iconoclastic performance artist Mike Malloy, AAR is providing a voice and forum for we who have been silenced for far too long.

I hate the word STRIDENT when applied to progressives who are in the public limelight, whatever their media. We need to declare war against the neocons and fundies. Nicey nicey doesn't cut it anymore.
