Why Should Ds Listen To An Ignorant, Racist Minority (ie: the Rs)?
Is there any good reason we should listen to this ignorant and racist minority when they whine about the economy? About Supreme Court justices? Health care? The Confederacy? Anything?

Didn't think so.

So why does the media keep listening to them - and worse, pushing them - creating a false equivalency in the process?

1. Ask yourself who owns the media.
And then you will have your answer why they create a false equivalency.

3. True Democrats don't listen to them, however the knuckle draggers who listen to talk radio do
Right wing hate radio is constantly attempting to fire up their brain dead base. A small vocal minority has a dispassionately large influence on our law makers. A small application of a Fairness Doctrine would go a long way in leveling the playing field
