To Wayne Madsen: I've heard Jim Hightower. Sometimes it's his assumptions that turn me off....sometimes it's his conclusions. In either case I disagree with him. And I think I'm every bit as smart as he is. (I've listened to Rush....he sees things that I don't.)
Besides, radio is a business. If he can't hold an audience then radio stations shouldn't be forced to carry him.
It's the bottom-line, stupid.
People who despise capitalism can never be expected to understand this simple truth.
