[BC] Air America

[Donna Halper]

But what really puzzles me is the anger on THIS list.  So, I make a small 
typo (1994 versus 2004-- come on guys, I had eye surgery and have been 
struggling with my health for nearly a year) and out come the knives 
letting me know  how wrong I was.  So some of you hate Air America and hate 
liberal radio and hate progressive and maybe even hate me.  But this 
conversation can't be a good one if we can't listen to each other's 
viewpoints without gleefully leaping on the other side's alleged sins or 
jumping on alleged mistake the e-mailer made. This isn't the cosmic battle 
between good and evil, guys-- it's radio, it's communication. Some of you 
seem very ideologic and only want your point of view to be the dominant 
one.  I accept that, but it's not useful. And you prove my point when you 
defend the hatred on the right and condemn the hatred on the left.  BOTH 
are equally wrong and equally unhelpful to democracy.  It's the Ten Days of 
Repentence and I don't wanna fight with anyone.  If you don't like AAR, 
don't listen to it.  But  it has a right to exist.  And just because Rush 
or Sean or O'Reilly or Savage has been around longer, that doesn't make 
them better.
