Have you noticed that the RW hosts are in sort of a desperate panic mode these days?

Have you noticed that the RW hosts are in sort of a desperate panic mode these days?
Edited on Wed Oct-17-07 10:26 PM by Pushed To The Left
Right-wing radio is usually on the radio where I work throughout the day, which I actually don't mind because I like to hear what the other side is up to. I have been noticing that the RW hosts aren't as cocky and arrogant as they used to be, and instead seem to be in panic mode. Hannity is desperately trying to convince his audience that things like universal healthcare would be awful and is trying to convince his religious right listeners not to go third party. O'Reilly was screaming like a WWE wrestler (and I'm a wrestling fan, so I recognize this!)on his TV show over that silly communion controversy, and he's getting really paranoid about his "culture war". Apparently, the evil "secular progressives" are becoming more and more powerful! He even compared Moveon.org to David Duke..now that's just plain desperate. Larry Elder was taking calls from a bunch of callers named "Anonymous" who claimed to be conservative Hollywood actors who were mistreated by Hollywood lib'ruls...funny thing is, none of them would mention their names and their voices didn't sound familiar at all...hmmmm.

Looks to me like the right wing is starting to worry about their future as a political force. Could the conservative movement that started with Reagan be on its last legs? I'm a very pessimistic person by nature, and even I'm starting to feel better about the future after hearing the fear and desperation coming from these arrogant right wing talkers.

1. No radio where I live. But I do notice wingers in gerneral running amok more than usual
meaner than usual too

Ever work with behavior modification methods? When one really gets into a program with a subject, the unwanted behaviors tend to INCREASE for a spell. It seems to be fairly predictable. The subject seems to get sorta confused about not getting the usual, expected reaction and so the behavior increases. Sorta like: maybe you didn't NOTICE that I am in charge here...

Poor schmucks are in for some frustrating times as fewer people cave into their BS control tactics.

2. I can only stand...
... a few seconds of any of them, but.... If you switch stations really fast (we have three in this market), it sounds like authentic crazy people.

Medved, Hanutty, and Savage.... all strung together.

More and more shrill all the time. Their voices have gone up at least an octave.

3. No more statements like this?
Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less."

- Bill O'Reilly, June 20, 2005

4. When the followers become ugly and brutal all is lost.
Nobody wants to have a beer with these people.
