I received this e-mail tonight. It is a copy of an e-mail sent from a Conservative to a Liberal. He sent it to many people, so I have no problem with posting it. Both are in the Media. It is well written too: "Got the article on Bush/Pakistan, etc. He's pumping out the cash to those who're playing ball with us. Of course, I like it... In my on-going quest to de-program you from your cultist past with those evil Democrats, I did want you to know saw Sean Hannity's (sp. ?) BEST SELLER at Barnes and Noble last night alongside BEST SELLER "Slander," while looking for the audio of Ms. Counter's NON-FICTION book. She HAS recorded it, but it's not yet arrived in stores. I'm getting yours soon now! I was reminded of your assessment that these books sell because of all the media attention they get (on conservative RADIO talk stations). But, isn't it amazing that they can do this despite the all the liberal TV types who consistently belittle the main stream... like the conservative little radio crowd...( "who are making the books best sellers"..)... The conservatives have no Peter Jennings (Liberal ABC anchor, Canadian citizen, and Palestinian apologist married to his latest wife, a very attractive Arab lady)....Tom Brokaw, more moderate but still liberal, NBC anchor)...and the third of the unholy Trinity, Dan Rather who can be somewhat excused for listing left like the Tower of Pisa on at least every other story due to his unfortunate ancestral gene pool. Rather took the baton from another blowhard (Cronkite) who has always obfuscated his intellectually challenged positions with an avuncular voice that (literally) speaks from the wilderness. Never has one mellifluous voice articulated so many shallow views for so many years. Ever heard him ad-lib a speech? Empty headed, is a compliment. Pope Walter celebrates big government, more taxes, and every liberal platitude that doesn't negatively impact his life aboard his yacht, nor harm his well cultivated image with the Hampton hussies. Maybe these best selling conservative books are being hyped on the Sunday morning network talk shows? From....Tim Russert? (former Democratic operative) George S. on ABC, former Democratic honcho for Clinton and Hillary? (to his credit, he "outed" these phonies...if not the left-wing plans for a people's republic) What about Bob Shiftless on CBS? Perennial last place loser on a show that should have died before "I Love Lucy." His liberal positions amount to little, because nobody is watching anyway. Don't think there'll be any conservatives hawking books on any networks, other than CSPAN or FOX. Hasn't happened, yet. Except to attempt to scornfully make fun of same... Of course there is our ex-priest and his friends on Sunday, but nobody's going to get in the way of this friend of moderates and conservatives, because McLauglin's always going to be doing all the talking. So, that leaves...what did you say..."All those conservatives on the radio who're hyping the books?" Well, they COULD maybe make it to a LIBERAL talk show, but they ("Mario," "Jim Hightower," and others)...died a quick death). No ratings. America didn't want to hear from all the knee jerk liberals. So, adios! That leaves "...take no prisoners, " FOX. CNN and Larry King are thrashing around interviewing the daughter of Dear Abby, and sounding like Oprah, while trying to figure out what the majority of Americans already know. Liberals are a boring and broken minority. Everybody knows except their port side flagships: ABC, NBC, & CBS...and their patron saints...the NY TIMES and WASHINGTON POST. Israel just dumped CNN for FOX. Nobody ever accused the Israelis of being fools...or, fooled. I'm not an Israeli, but I'm another enlightened American who is tickled to death Ted Turner's candle is dimmer and dimmer. Couldn't happen to a better target. In another year, CBS, ABC, and NBC will have yet another decline as alternate cable services peel away their arrogance and pious points of view... I love to argue. A. T. Hun"
