"And if we remain divided, perhaps there's a reason for it?"
The reason has to be faults in our nature.

Faults in our nature? People have been disagreeing for an eternity.
We used to (some say we still do...but at least it's less) go to war
over it, now we go on talk radio/TV and yell at each other.

Cluelessness on a biblical scale.

We won't hold it against you.

The recent liberal frustration has to do with the democratic party's
complete inability to articulate it's position and put forth a
decent Presidential candidate.

The inability to articulate a position is one of Rove's more genious
inventions. The position is that Dems think that pols should be held
accountable for their screwups. It's a mystery to me that anybody who
expects to be taken seriously can say "... and what would the Democrats do
to fix Iraq?" Hell, we don't even know what the Republicans want to do to
fix that FUBAR situation. Oh, yeah, stand down when they stand up. Good
plan. Two legs good, four legs bad.

The reason has to be faults in our nature. Since the repeal of the
fairness doctrine in brodcasting it has gotten worse. The current sad
state of affairs correlates with the arrival of Rush Limbaugh on radio.
It's a sad comment on us as a people that there is a market for hate.

There has always been a market for hate in the US: look
at the KKK's history for 80-odd years. It is difficult to avoid
inter-tribal conflict in a nation that is the sum of many tribes
with (relatively) recent memories of other pasts. And Rush
is simply the latest incarnation of a lineage that stretches
back to folks like Father Conklin and the pro-German Bund
activists of the 30's and early 40's.

You extreme left wingers amuse me. Limbaugh is nothing more than an
entertainer. He gets $30 million/year. Personally I don't think he
deserves it, but if he gets that much just to **** you off, Pavlov,
maybe he *does* deserve it. Al Franken tried it for you far left
wingers and fell on his face. Too funny!

Limbaugh produces plausible sounding soundbites to entertain
people too lazy or ignorant to understand complex issues.

Liberals understand that complex issues cannot be reduced to
partisan soundbites and aren't much amused by it even when
Al Franken does it.

Face it, we're just smarter than you.

Does that make you feel better? More superior?

Limbaugh is an entertainer, just like Susan Sarandan, Barbra
whatsherface-with-the-big-nose, Charlie Sheen, Al Franken, Oliver
North, et al. Nothing more, nothing less. He just happens to make
more money than they do, and the fact that he ****es off Pavlov is a
bonus.

Limbaugh makes his money peddling half-truths and propaganda to
nitwits who are more than happy to be so "entertained". Quite a
different line of work than that of most entertainers.
