Liberal Talk Radio

Filed under: Society-Culture — Bunker @ 6:13 pm

The New Republic Online has an article about a liberal talk-radio host in Florida who has a bigger audience than Rush, who precedes her on air. Randi Rhodes voices such gems as:

A couple hours later, Rhodes was still on the same topic, this time with a microphone cradled in her right hand, addressing not just me but thousands of listeners throughout Palm Beach. “You had to actually be married to the Republican Party to believe the president today,” she declared. She ridiculed Bush’s explanation that the people attacking American troops in Iraq “hate progress”: “People are willing to strap bombs on their bodies because they hate electricity … and they hate school?! This is the explanation we’re getting?!”

Yes, Randi, the people blowing themselves up, along with as many innocents as possible, DO hate progress. They hate electricity and any school other than their local madrassa.

The article is good (as are most from TNR) and talks about the future of liberal talk radio after “decades” of conservative domination. Wow.
