Rightwing radio hosts are mainly big LIARS. Their positions have have gotten people in a froth after 9-11, but upon any scrutiny they're totally full of it. Some of the whoppers I've heard from Hannity and Limbaugh are:

- The war in Iraq will only last a few weeks
- The war will all be paid for by Iraqi oil
- Bush was a fighter pilot and John Kerry a coward/traitor
- Lowering taxes increases revenues
- Clinton was a poor president who gave us a recession
- Reagan ended the Soviet Union
- Clinton was offered Osama and turned him down
- Bush is only spying on terrorists in this country
- Bush gets a warrant every time he spies on people
- Peace activists are "evil"
- Democrats would cause major deficits
- Tom Delay is being persecuted by the liberal media
- Jack Abramoff gave millions to democrats

etc. etc. - none of the above being in any way true, of course. Yet if you listen to Al franken, for instance, I'll bet you can't find a single thing he says which isn't proveable fact. And he will go out of his way to prove it using actual tapes, etc.
