Attacking

FOR SOME REASON, the only kind of talk radio there is is conservative talk radio. Well, that, and sprots talk radio. Presumably this is because the people who own the radio buisness are conservatives. It would certainly seem that there are enough liberals in America to support a liberal radio talk show, if given the chance. After all, when Barack Obama won reelection in 2012, Rush Limbaugh sadly commented: "they outnumber us". Probably not. Probably, we are all outnumbered by the teeming masses with either no interst in political and public affairs, or people whose views are so vague that the only way to describe them is "moderate". Oh, that we could all be moderates, and stop the uncivil back biting. According to the online encyclopedia, radio talk show celeb Michael Savage (aka Michael Weiner) once wrote a letter to Alan Ginsburg in which Savage expressed a desire to have anal intercourse with the famous writer. My face must've lit up like a roman candle; dirt, on the detested Michael Savage. Then it occured to me that I was doing what I detest most about conservative talk radio, and in the cultural war at large; the tendency to look for any way, anything at all, with which to attack those with whom we disagree. Gratuitous, irrelevant trashy attacks. We are in the midst of an epidemic of this. Look for dirt. Anything. Keep digging. A political candidate makes a grammatical error; send in the attack forces. I do it all the time, and I need to stop. So does everyone else. the sad part is; most likely, none of us will.
