Hi Lane3. I really don't want to pile on here. I would argue, though, that there's sort of a quantitative difference, if not qualitative, on the two sides of the aisle here. Republicans / conservatives embrace this kind of stuff this on a fairly industrial scale. Remember what happened when Michael Steele raised some modest criticism of Limbaugh? I'm not really of the fight fire with fire school, but I think Democrats tend to be totally outgunned by the Limbaugh/Beck/Fox News noise machine. I don't quite know what can be done about it. An article from a couple months back that sort of addresses the issue from a little bit different perspective: theatlantic.com . Dale tends to be somewhat sanguine about people filtering out the cable news / talk radio drumbeat. Me, less so. Anyway, glad to see you posting here again. Looking at your profile, I'd guess you have some kind of SI foot-in-two-camps record with your 2 favorite threads. I'm sort of under orders not to refer to the other one, though.
