Daylight is the best disinfectant. Bashing either Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton daily, five times a week, for 11 years straight. OK. Your turn to defend that.

Hey flap, sounds like you're a product of liberal spinism... re: Bush's economic stimulus package and give $1.3 trillion to Big Business... I suppose you've read the whole plan??? jh p.s. Clinton selling out US security for 1M$ to the DNC form Loral...what a sell-out. Selling out every American's national security for what...money. Such B&&shi. 1000 times worse than the Enron thing. And nothing wrong has ever been done by GW in that case anyway.

I would like to hear specific comments, not just your interpretation. Rush didn't help the Republicans win the House by bashing day after day. He had a positive and inspiring message. By the way, his show is now starting, you better go tune in. :-)

"Twenty-five years ago Bill Buckley would haul in the Michael Moores of the world onto "Firing Line" and the two would debate the issues in a dignified manner. " I'd almost forgotten about that. Actual debates. What a concept. "It's just hour after hour, day after day, year after year, of continuous right-wing bashing." "Sometimes I wonder whether these people even know what they're saying" They don't. It's not necessary. I heard Dick Morris, who is a scumbucket, but brilliant, disclose what is really going on in the political media world today - it is called "unintentional learning". That's the technical euphamism for repetitive propaganda messages to give opinions whether the audience wants them or not. I was shocked by how casually and businesslike this concept is used in political and media programming by Morris and others. By all parties, Dems and Repubs. Whoever brings the most dollars to bear can get whatever message they wish into the brain of whatever segments they want. The toughest are those who have the patience for an actual hour-long Buckley type debate. Too much thinking goes on, so it's much tougher to create "unintentional learning".
