  My usual rule is not to respond to any post using the word "liberal", but your link is 404.

    First: "liberal" is their deal. They get one liberal, one conservative, and say they have talk from "both sides." That is how they identify him. I wasn't using it to be pejorative, just to identify.
    
    Second: yep, they took down the link, shortly after I posted it. Very very odd!

  They play 42 seconds of the song (about 20%) and then the one guy immediately starts ranting about short attention spans.

  Then you have this caller at about 28 min: "we didn't start this war" while talking about Iraq.

  And their "liberal" host sounds not very liberal. Plus, all of this ruckus about "not taking the 'war on terror' seriously" -- how do you have a "war" against an "overwhelming feeling of fear" anyway? Seems that not being afraid would end that "war" quite handily.

      Wait, you still read dailykos?
      
      I'm guessing I'm quite a bit more progressive/liberal than you and I stopped reading it awhile ago.
      
      It just seemed like too much of an echo chamber to me and I read a lot of progressive blogs (at least the posts, the comments in blog seem nearly universally puerile).
      
      Then again, I'm generally trying to spread less than reading blogs like dailykos (nationally political in focus) and something more local or at least a narrower focus (like useperl or slashfood or such).

        No. I never did. I followed a link there. Note that post is from about 2.5 years ago. There's no "blogs" I read on a regular basis except some personal friends, Soxaholix, and Sound Politics.
