AIR AMERICA RADIO: THE G.O.P.'S BEST FRIEND

After listening to the various talk segments of Air America Radio, the knee jerk reaction of many conservatives is anger, rage and more anger.
It's all wrong. Conservatives and Republicans need to take a step back, take a deep breath and realize just what Air America Radio accomplishes each day as it sends forth its hateful messages via a limited number of stations across the land.
The extremist left wing network is one of several recent endeavors to push national talk to the left. To do this, Air America Radio has resorted to paying some stations to carry its programs. Hit with a barrage of protests from listeners, a number of big advertisers have either shied away from the lefty network or withdrawn their commercials from it.
But perhaps the biggest reason Air America Radio cannot attract advertisers in droves is fundamental. The network simply fails in the ratings game. Only a few rabid left wingers can take the network's negative content for much more than a half hour.
Those in charge of Air America Radio either fail to see the problem or have allowed their political agenda to overwhelm the logic of it all.
Each moment it airs its shows, Air America Radio sends several hundred more independent and Democrat voters running for Republican cover. The network is the G.O.P.'s best friend.
From the cry baby rhetoric of an Al Franken to the crass Boobie Bouncing of a Randi Rhodes to the often hysterical rantings of a Mike Malloy this is a an outfit crying for financial extermination.
Even a casual look at the network's shows betrays its nature as a natural hangout of Vietnam War protesting Jane Fonda era lefties. Morning Sedition, Revolution Starts Now and Mother Jones Radio are hardly names that will attract throngs of undecided voters. Not even the addition of a Jerry Springer can help. After all, its hard to see chairs being thrown over the radio. Once Springer lost his TV visuals, there was little left for Air America Radio to inherit. Then there's Laura Flanders. It's a shame that such a lovely lady comes packaged in all that leftist propaganda.
No, conservatives, Republicans and anyone in the middle need have no fear of Air America Radio. With an incessant fare of America-hating shows that deride people of faith, lambast U.S. soldiers, wish dreadful forms of death on conservative talk hosts and stick up for just about every Anti-American culture assault you can imagine, this lefty network is insuring that the Republican majority will be growing by leaps and bounds for a long time to come.
