Soothing the Savage Beast
If there's been a theme running through this week's shows, it's been the nastiness with which those who sit on the opposite side of the political aisle from me (and, likely, you if you're reading this and listening to my shows) interact with us. It began with a tweet from a stranger to me. Out of the blue, this troll pops up on my twitter page to post @nicolesandler When you produced M&B it was all about risk & freedom & now you're a socialist?. Brian adored Ayn Rand, WTF happened to you? — Tom Cruz'n (@TinPotDickTator) December 2, 2013 [...]
Wednesday Women!
Today on my show, I welcomed Sally Kohn, the liberal who often appears on Fox to challenge their craziness. Her piece, "I was An Obamacare Guinea Pig" is making right wing heads explode.

If you expected treatment of a different manner, [...]
Today on the Randi Rhodes Show!
Yes, I'm filling in for Randi again today, and we have a great show lined up for you... Although the South Florida Sun Sentinel continues to mis-characterize what I was doing at an event put on by my congressman and advertised as a town hall meeting... I went to ask my congressman a question, and to have him hear what I had to say. Isn't that what town hall meetings are for? Anyway, in today's paper, the headline reads "Protester arrested at Congressman Allen West's town hall meeting won't be prosecuted". I wasn't there as a "protester," I wasn't a "heckler" [...]
