No that is seemingly a requirement for a post in the Obama administration. It would be illogical to protest paying more taxes if you didnt pay them in the first place.

I'm not trying to start something, but it seems that conservative's like to be told over and over how wrong Democrats are and how "right" they are. Liberals are just as sure as Conservatives that they are correct, but I don't know anyone who listens to Liberal radio ( is there any?)...I guess watching CNN counts, but I just have no desire to be lectured...even by Keith Olberman or anyone Liberal. In a country pretty much split down the middle politically, why then are conservative columinists, radio hosts and TV guys that hugely outnumber anything Liberal? Because the right listens to that stuff and the left doesn't...maybe it's a personality thing? And I answered your question with a question

And I think Bill Maher is brilliant and hilarious, but I still won't make time for that.

What side of the fence would you considere NPR to be on? I've seen both sides claim their programming to be one or the other. Widipedia has some brief studies on NPRs listeners and reporting:

I've always found that people love or hate NPR.

Newsweek has the lefts back for sure.

Seriously? I can't listen to any talk radio..sports, NPR, Rush..anything for more than 30 seconds. I just don't laugh at their jokes or want to hear them pontificate. Would rather read it all.

But..to answer your question...I would think NPR is fairly unbiased, but reports on more issues that tend to fall in the Left camp vs the right. But that's totally IMO..

I have a thought on this one (bolded):

Often times liberals use self-righteous indignation to
argue with conservatives and it leaves many conservatives
looking like they are amoral beasts. These talk shows
teach conservatives how to argue with liberals. Its like
a Conservative Arguement book for Dummies, only on the
radio.

So now I set the liberals up with a fat pitch...
Making Conservative Arguement for Dummies, one in the same.
Spare me.
