The leftist cynics say stuff as wild as Glenn Beck, why doen't the left distance themselves from those guys?

Rugh, which leftist cynics would you suggest that Democrats distance themselves from?

Honestly, I can't think of any that are in the same galaxy as Beck. Can you?

They might be there, but I've never heard of them. Do any leftists cynics have a national cable show? Do they have national radio shows? The left not only is not as nutty as the right, it has no national forum even if it were. That is why the left does not present the danger to our democracy that the right wing nuts do.

And if they are there someplace on a lonely blog, does anyone associate them with the Democratic party the way most people associate Beck et al with Republicans?

That's why Graham felt the need to distance himself from Beck, you know.

Because to the world, Beck is a Republican.

Claiming that the left and right are identical in extremism is ridiculous and you know it.

Tell me who on the left is as widely heard or as wildly cynical as Beck?

Make a list of the uber-popular extremists of the right (Hannity, Rush, Coulter, Levin, Beck, etc etc) and then of the left (? KeithO, Maddow?) and try to say with honesty that these are similar and equal lists.

You know, and I know, that it's nonsense.

As I said, the point is not Beck et al, it's all the people that make Beck et all what they are. I'm sure there are nutjob leftist cynics out there, but you know what? No one's ever heard of them because they have no nutjob leftist cynical audience. That's the problem.

SO who are the equivalent cynics that people think of as Democratic media-leaders?
