All over but the shouting, just a waste of time...

Having been listening to the Far Right wingnuts on talk radio, I have one question:



Why are they so damn loud? Limbaugh is blabbering so fast and loud you can practically hear the saliva hitting things around him. Engraham is screeching like a harpy. Michael Savage is shouting so loud he can be heard in cars two streets over from me. Some...lady Saturday night was had such a high pitched scream, my windshield was getting ready to crack. Glenn Beck is yelling so loud he's likely to pop a vocal chord right out of his throat.

And they are the only ones talking.

I mean, they might have a guest every so often, but their guests always agree with them and parrot the day's talking points from Fox Noise and the Republican party. And they'll have callers calling in, sheep baa-ing right back at them the things they've just said. but mostly, it's just them, in a studio, alone...screaming. Why?

Is it more important for them to be loud than to be right? Is it a case of, if you have nothing good to say, say it loud? Must they continue thier racous and rude "debating" techniques of out shouting their opponents, even when there is no one else there?

And speaking of their sheep-like followers, can they think for themselves? It seems every stinking caller that calls into Mancow In The Morning bleats the phrase "loveyouloveyourshow!" as fast as they can, as if it's the secret password to gain them admittance to the far right lunatic fringe club that Mancow belongs to. Can't they please think for themselvs instead of just waiting for these conservative looney toons to tell them how to think?

no...I guess that would be too much to ask. If they could think for themselves, they wouldn't be calling in in the first place.

I avoid neo-con talk radio at all costs, it just makes me angry.

And you are right they all yell, as if yelling will make their point, it just makes them seem desperate.
