Says Who!! I'm not buying the right left tribal crap anymore.

[highwaysong007]

Scott Brown will betray you all.

ppl really still buy the left/right false paradigm?

progressive = marxist

and recent supreme court rulings granting unlimited campaign donation by corporations = fascism

Good timing, a few months before in mid-term elections! To make one correction in this video is that Rush Limbaugh has more than 20 million listeners everyday! The average American doesn't believe in the far left message anymore with mostly attack commentary and full of misreporting, if any facutal reporting at all! The message of the left is that of victim, martyr, no self-reliance and no individual responsibility. Their message is the government is the answer to everything and me-me-me!

Or even that the biggest progressive voices aren't even from AA.

Dial Global: Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Bill Press and Stephanie Miller.

Premier: Randi Rhodes

Fox News Radio: Alan Colmes

The thing to remember is that Air America was little more then a syndication company. They didn't actually own the radio stations.

Progress Talk is still alive and well, and there is no shortage of Liberal shows from other companies (including Premier who also Syndicates Rush).

AA tried to be Liberal 24/7 where other networks are just trying to make money. Shows like Thom Hartman's and Randi Rhodes' are able to be profitable.

[17R3W]

It bothers me a great deal that they never mentioned all the successful Liberal shows, that aren't on Air America.

Namely Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Bill Press.

The truth is most of the progressive stations were almost unaffected. Most of their programming comes from places like Dial Global or (Rush's own) Premier Radio Networks.

In the US its supposed to be a more balanced apprach, typically socially liberal and economically conservative

I am not knowledgable in the many other labels that represent different degrees of socio-economic belief though.

If I knew more about your beliefs I may be able to research an answer.

Labeling is not about controls, its human nature.

"Everything" is a label.

Do you have a name? Thats a label. Is it wrong to label you a name to separate you from the others around you?

[waltermh111]

Well, depends, do you mean economically conservative and sociality libera?

Or economically social and liberal?

In what way are you both liberally and conservatively economic or social in both of those senses?

independent is a lack of party affiliation, but it isnt an economic or social stance.

Libertarian is a party, and libertarian is a sociopolitical point of view., just as is liberalism and conservatism.

[afferch]

If I hold beliefs that would be consisdered both conservative and liberal what label would you put on me, Independent! Stop labeling people and think for yourself, dividing people into catagories, is how they manipulate,control,and enslave people. Our world in in trouble now, and we should focus on the ones who are desparate to control us and not play thier game. Think for yourself.

[LifeIsGood63]

Have you ever noticed how retarded both sides act? If you think outside their parameters then you are the enemy. No ability to reason.

[LoryLandskipper]

I agree with this comment.

[waltermh111]

So much confusion over semantics

Liberal and conservative are not party affiliations.

They are beliefs in how the world should work

You are liberal by the way you thought before you got the label, not by it convincing you of something

You are thinking of party lines like dem or repub.

Different because you can be liberal or conservative dem, and same for repub

Liberal just means you tend to be for social equality and change

Conservative is usually about tradition and the feeling of stability
