Spreading nothing but pure lies and hate

If you think the insulting, vitriolic hate spread over the airwaves by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck is going to go away, you're wrong. These clowns, along with their lower-level trainees in smaller markets around the country, are waiting in the wings for Barack Obama to be inaugurated so they can spread their toxic brew to more than 100 million Americans who are willing to listen.

While these idiots (for lack of a better description) are constantly whining about the vast left-wing media bias, here are some actual FACTS (you know, those things that Hannity, Limbaugh and their like would not recognize if it hit them in the face):

A 2007 analysis by the Center for American Progress and the Free Press shows that of all the news/talk stations in the top 10 radio markets in America, 76 percent are conservative while 24 percent are progressive. Sound like a vast liberal media bias to you?

The reality is that these talk show hosts do not deal in facts. They appeal to people's fear and ignorance by spreading LIES. The link below will connect you to Media Matters for America, an organization that has done an excellent job of exposing the hate mongers:

I urge you to learn about these bigots, because they are not going to go away. They will continue to fuel the hate that exists in certain parts of this country, a hate based in stupidity and ignorance.
