Give Peace a Chance

Well, as you know, there is a big debate today. One that has eclipsed the faltering economy. It has eclipsed the war on Terrorism. It has eclipsed the impending invasion of Iraq. That issue is: Could Liberals create a liberal alternative to Rush Limbaugh?

Take a moment to examine the breadth and importance of that question. Makes things like troops dying in Iraq or your diminishing paycheck seem insignificant in comparison.

Ann Coulter, who I've ignored for a while, offered an opinion on this subject, saying. "One thing about liberals is they're pesky devils. They'll never quit. And now they are back again looking for the next "liberal alternative" to Rush Limbaugh. They have the money, the business consultants, the radio talent. Now all they need are ideas. There's the rub.

If liberals cared about ideas or knew any facts, they would cease being liberals.
"

So there you have it. Liberals are all fuzzy headed warm and fuzzy guys who wouldn't know a fact if it bit them on the tuckus.

Ann does quote later in her letter a Pew poll that seems to indicate that only Conservatives watch the news anyway. Take a moment to look at the questions. You notice all the questions on ideology, to determine whether or not a caller is conservative or liberal? There's a grand total of one. "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" And based on that one question, the Pew foundation is apparently able to determine the politics of a person. What magicians (maybe they employ Ben Shapiro, Boy Prognosticator). The Pew foundation has learned one of the great secrets of life: People will believe anything if it is in a table and there is lots of numbers.
