I like to hit them with what one of the liberal programs will do to them if it happens.

Like the fact that the rich aren’t the only ones who are going to get taxed, and how it will end up hitting their wallet.

Now with Jon Carey, I had a really good time because he was a snotty idiot. Sad thing for them too, because they knew it!

Zogby predicted every 2006 Senate race correctly.

So did pretty much polling organization in the country. In many of the races, Zogby's margins were totally off (the Senate races in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee for example).

Besides, when the results of a race are going to be known to the world when it's over, it pays to do your damnedest to get it right. Not the case with this type of poll. There will never be any results to compare it to. It will never be judged for accuracy. It's just Zogby, an activist leftist, pushing his own leftist agenda. Like he does every other time he can get away with it.

Trust the guy at your peril. But I sure as hell don't.

“Limbaugh is enjoyable On Air. I mostly agree with Sean Hannity too, but can’t stand his On Air style. Root Canal comes to mind.”

Rush is real. Hannity, to me, seems a bit plastic.

This is Astrology and Horoscope reading...That, or I have MPD.

I find reading the desciptions, that I can easily catagorize myself as a Red, Blue, or Purple, depending on a mood I may be in, on any given day.

The extensive interactive survey of deeply held beliefs and behavior patterns – conducted June 26–29, 2007, including 3,939 adults nationwide and carrying a margin of error of +/– 1.6 percentage points – shows that liberals were much more likely than conservatives to listen to commentary and entertainment with which they disagreed philosophically. This could be part of the reason Air America has faltered – there are simply fewer potential listeners.

This is psychotic. Zogby has long gone round the bend with his anti-American and anti-Semitic tirades.

Red is historically the color of revolution and radicalism as black has been the color of anarchy and blue is for conservatives.

It was the revolutionaries of the 1800s that cemented Red as their color because it is the color of the blood they were so determined to spill and it was enthusiastically adopted by the Communists.

The MSM reassigned the colors because red was too identified with the left by everyone and Americans are generally distrustful of Left. I was appalled when the Conservative media and politicians accepted the change without much comment at all. Are we now accepting the mantle of Revolution?

Hannity’s show is for soccer moms. He actually serves a valuable purpose, as long as you don’t have to listen to him or his audience.

Certainly Rush attracts listeners of like mind. Does anyone seriously believe that is any different than those who listen to Air America? What is key is not who listens to Rush, but how many. Rush has a huge audience as do other conservative talk shows indicating that there are lots of conservative minded Americans. Liberal talk radio has always had ratings problems simply because relatively few people agree with their perspective and tune in to listen. It is the same reason that the MSM is headed to extinction. When people are given a choice they tune in those they most agree with.

I am not usually a talk radio listener, but i have had occasion to listen to several days shows over the last few weeks, of Limbaugh and Hannity following him. And one thing that *did*...cause me mild wonder..was how many callers were DemoLibs...and it seemed that Hannity had many more Libs calling his show than Rushs’ show.

He *does* seem to get their panties all bunched up...the Dem womens too. ;o)

Yes, of course. I will take anyone that is on the Right to
counter the leftist LSM.
I do listen to Hannity via online from WABC, but given a choice I would take five days of Rush over one day of Sean.

That makes it sound like liberals are more open minded and tolerant but we know better...right.

In many of the races, Zogby's margins were totally off (the Senate races in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee for example).

Races in which one candidate wins by a wide margin are often hard to predict, because turnout is less predictable and the number of undecideds is usually greater than normal.

While 22% of conservatives said they "never" enjoy entertainment that reflects values other than their own, just 7% of liberals felt the same way.

Ah yes, liberals love to listen to diverse opinions. That's why the MSM is usually at least 3 to 1 liberal, and they feel that is "balanced" while FOX has roughly equal numbers of liberals and conservatives and the liberal complain that FOX is biased.

A liberals idea of diverse opinions is" Shall we raise taxes $2.1 Trillion or only $2 Trillion, while cutting taxes isn't even a valid opinion to be considered.

People with a "red" entertainment preference think a lot of programming is in bad taste and doesn't reflect their values. They don't like a lot of things on TV, but their two favorite channels are Fox and Fox News.

I don't own a TV - 90% of the content is garbage, and the other 10% is stuff that the internet is better suited to disseminate (history, science, medical, politics). FOX news is slightly less left-wing than its competitors, but I would not call it conservative by any stretch, and am not endeared to it even remotely.

They like sports, especially football and auto racing, and they watch news and business programming.

Can't stand sports...unless you count women's beach volleyball and similar :-)

They don't like most contemporary music and they don't watch VH1 or MTV. They don't much like late-night TV.

Sorta - a smattering (~6/year?) of catchy songs notwithstanding. True. True.

They like to go to sporting events, and when they do go to the movies – which is rarely – they seek out action-adventure films.

Can't stand sports. Movies - yup, only action-adventure (300, Gladiator, Sin City, Casino Royale, etc).

They prefer non-fiction. When they read fiction, they often select mysteries and thrillers.

Spot on - aside from my wife's Clancy novels, only non-fiction graces my shelves. About 800 lbs of it.

They think that fictional TV shows and movies are politically biased, and they believe they can predict a person's politics if they know the person's entertainment preferences.

Duh. As for the second point, not always.

I read it as not more open minded but looking for the correct path.

It’s continually amazing how many people , mostly lefties ,misinterpret the phrase “Talent on loan from God”—it’s the ultimate statement of humility—any talents any of us have are “on loan from God”

A man is saturated with leftism from his first Sesame Street episode, through nearly all music, television and movies, throughout his entire education, everywhere he goes, everything he does, and he is supposed to be “closed minded” because he doesn’t actively seek out leftist propaganda?

Your post is right on the mark. The biggest forced indoctrination system is the Big Government Public Schools. Liberals are so used to the constant their concentrated leftist messages, they think Rush is an conservative extremist.
