Sounds just like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity and Savage.

By telling a certain percentage of the American listening audience what they 
want to hear- Rambo Radio. Their audience hates the sixties and everything 
associated with it such as progessive ideology (although heaven knows it 
predates the 60's by a few hundred years) and desires a simple solution to 
every complex question (my country right or wrong, God said it that ends it).

I can enjoy Rush's humor from time to time, and even O'Reilly or Hannity's 
arrogance, but Savage is so full of hatred that I cannot listen to five 
minutes. The man propagates a facist idea that if all of the people who didn't 
agree with his red white and true blue vision of America (let's just forget 
about his own "questionable" past escapades) just "went away", then there 
would be a wonderous god-fearing utopia of like minded "correct thinking" 
individuals. Herr Goebbels would be ecstatic. There is no debate on these 
shows anymore than you'll see on NBC's Today show when there's a guest whom 
Couric doesn't like and they will bring on someone else to railroad that 
person into pergatory. Or when you have CBS having a "critical" panel on DeLay 
consisting of three republican apologists.
