They think U.S. involvement in Libya and the Middle East were unilateral regime change wars. They don't know it's NATO. They're the ones who thought President Obama had a drone kill list just for fun. The ones who the day after Trump's inauguration never mentioned drone warfare again.

The Iraq Resolution vote used as a way to call Democrats warmongers decades after the fact is ridiculous. Blaming Democrats for Republican things.

irrelevant to blame a few two bit players

limbaugh talked about lynching obama on 600 radio stations- "maybe obama's head needs to roll" along with years of lies about hillary clinton etc etc

those radio stations enabled the ignorant trump base to push trump to end the iran nuke deal and enable this shit

they're just two hollywood actors

industry to finally apply real market forces to it - that will kill the monopoly

the only unique advantage the fascists have now is talk radio and all americans have to do is stop ignoring it

boycotts of ANY advertiser on ANY rw radio station/show and protests at stations and the 88 universities will send advertisers running and will force the ad industry to ask advertisers if they really support trump and global warming denial. and when universities start looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on many of those stations will be forced to go to other programming.

whenever and whatever the left protests at rw talk radio stations will be front page. or the 88+ universities that use their majority black athletes to attract advertisers to 260 limbaugh/kkk stations

the cons can ignore protests everywhere else because a few hundred ignorant liars on those radio stations yell over the protestors as long as it takes.

protests directed directly at the problem will freak the cons out. they'll howl "free speech!!", media will notice, and that will send advertisers to the hills. the cons will have to fund it directly and that will end the 'market demand' for lies and hate bullshit

this fascism has been blasting from 1500 radio stations for 30 years UNCHALLENGED by the left. as a protected unchalled 20-1 monopoly that dominates politiocal messaging in 40 states with 80- senators it operates outside the free speech spectrum. it won't survive if it's forced to compete.

artificial intelligence-enhanced transcription now makes it inevitable that talk radio will be digitized so it can finally be analyzed - it needs to happen NOW and the dem party and left orgs have no fucking excuse to continue the stupidity

for americans to despair over the rise of fascism while doing NOTHING about rw talk radio is very sad, especially going into this election and facing global warming acceleration - it's the biggest political mistake in history

so well as people on the left tend to read rather than listen to the radio. And the Deplorables would change the station. So it's got to be planned as a way to get their attention without seeming to be liberal.

there's challenge or correction to the bullshit

the right's excuse that 95% of americans want that bullshit is an insult to americans, but it's wall mart vs mom and pop if you're talking 'competition' now

applying market demand in blue areas that have no liberal talk - so that people waiting for the traffic report or sports get sense and truth rather than russsian inspired racism and fascism will make the rw talk radio gods look like the anti-american liars they are and they'll end up on a lot less station.

But has no regrets doing so, and Saradon who is embraced by the Sanders campaign, and makes campaign appearances continuously on his behalf

And all you say is who cares, ignoring the fact that these people who are part of and embraced by the Sanders campaign are a reflection of the views of that campaign

Some folks like to wear blinders I guess

In attempting to illustrate to the world just how unconcerned we really are, we often unwittingly advertise our biases more than we do any indifference we may otherwise allege.
