Refering to anyone as "anything" Nazi, is IMO insulting and should not be done. Note that I said, IMO. This explanatory statement is missing from many messages posted on this Thread (IMO).

I take offense at Banjo Johnny's statement about Republicans. I don't question his right to state his belief, and since the majority of those folks posting to this thread probably agree with him, I'm probably the only one who does feel offended, but I can't, in good concience, allow him to make such a statement unchallenged. It's as offensive to me, as if he had called me an American Nazi.

And how in the heck did Rush Limbaugh get into this conversation anyway? Yes, he refers to those in the feminist movement as feminazis or something to that effect, but in America, he has a right to do that. It is a guaranteed right. Those who disagree have the same right to disagree with him. I'm not a regular listener of the Limbaugh show, but I have heard several. The descriptions of his broadcast that I have read on this thread from folks who have heard him a few times don't jibe with the broadcasts I have heard. He is an entertainer! He holds no political office, cannot influence political policy, can do nothing other than broadcast his beliefs. Should he have a right to do that? Damn right! Just as much right as any Liberal commentator would have to spout his/her opinions on the airwaves.

The puzzeling thing to me is, why isn't there a Liberal counterpart to Limbaug? Supposedly, Limbaugh has the largest radio audience of any talk radio show in radioland.

If Liberalism is as popular as its proponents believe it to be, why isn't there an audience "out there" large enough to sustain such a radio show?

Is it because we are a nation of naziradiolisteners?

There is a lot of Liberal talent to choose from. Mario Cuomo, Hillery Clinton (once she is no longer running for office), Bill Clinton, once his is out of office, maybe even Al Gore!

So the minority wing of the Mudcat is heard from. Have at me, my friends! :>) DougR
