Not All Campaign 2008 Excesses In Talk Radio Are On The Right

Just read THIS. Why, it sure is funny — a skit characterizing Mitt Romney’s supporters as people who’d commit mass killings. But when you read the stuff on the link, it isn’t Romney’s supporters or Republicans who seem a bit unhinged…

Oh, we’re sure we’ll get comments defending it but…sorry. It’s as unwanted, unnecessary and poisonous when it comes from the left as well from the right. A little less demonization on both sides in Campaign 2008 would do the political world a whole lot of good.

Yours truly is not a Romney supporter or a Republican, so spare us the characterizations in comments. But we do have a question:

Is there something in the water talk show hosts are drinking this week? Or smoking?

You have snarling conservative talkers turning their programs into virtual 3 hour Romney For President commercials and demonizing McCain nonstop, and you have this “satire” on a leading liberal talk show host’s show that wouldn’t have made it past the initial idea conference on Saturday Night Live during the frequently lame show’s lamest week.

    After reading and listening to speeches from the CPAC this parody isn't really that far off the mark in terms of the hyperbole and sour grapes being expressed within that group. Take it for what it is, a joke.

    That was a pretty weak. Can't imagine why Air America would be having problems.
