And defend it as "freedom of speech" all you want, the fact is that the conservative movement has all but cornered the market on generating outrage and yelling half-truths and/or lies as an ends to a means. Conservative voices dominate the talk radio dial. And personally I'm glad that people who hold opinions closer to mine (liberals) simply aren't as good at that game. Liberals don't have the taste for the format the way conservatives to, to make a generalized statement. Just look at Keith Olbermann's ratings. He's undoubtedly just as skilled as O'Reilly or Beck, and I do find I agree with and am entertained by much of what he says. But he grew old for me very quickly and I don't think I'm alone. It just doesn't work for his potential audience, they don't buy into the outrage. But there are consequences to that, and I was hoping that Obama would find a way to inject his attitude of reason into the debate rather than just sit back and let it steamroll him like so many others before.
