Thread Name: BS: RW talk show hosts
Subject: BS: RW talk show hosts
I was watching Joe Scarborough last night. Why is it that RW hosts always have to antagonize their guests and talk over them?
Scarborough asked a woman what all the Limbaughs on the left are expecting of their party now that they are in power. The woman said there weren't any Limbaughs on the left and Scarborough cuts her off with a big, loud, "OHH, COME ON!!!!" But he never named anyone. When Michael J. Fox spoke out in support of Arlen Specter, what leftwinger stood up and accused Fox of faking it so he could drum up a sympathy vote for a republican candidate? Nobody.
Sean Hannity and Anne Coulter are notorious for talking over people with an opposing view and shouting them down. Yet when I watch the Daily Show or the Colbert Report, their guests are always allowed to speak freely with no harrassment or antagonizing. IT might even be too tame but at least it's civil and respectful.
Apparently, the people agree since it appears that every dem and pub Colbert has inteviewed on his show has won election. Those that refused all lost. That's more than coincidence.
I think the people have had enough of the Limbaughs and the Hannity's. By next election, I think they'll be history.
