A progressive radio talk show host whose hate and vitriol rivals, if not outmatches, that of conservative counterpart Rush Limbaugh. Anyone who claims that liberals are not violent or uncivil have never heard of Mike Malloy. In his worldview, anyone who holds a different opinion than his doesn’t deserve to live, as he openly wishes death upon those with whom he disagrees.
Rachel Maddow comments on a news article about Sarah Palin from “conservative Christian” website ChristWire, which is actually a satirical website.

The face of the liberal media. Unlike his right-wing counterpart Bill O’Reilly, who welcomes and debates guests with opposing viewpoints, Olbermann voices his left-wing biases unchallenged from within his echo chamber. In his progressive worldview, debate is unnecessary, for anyone who disagrees with him is merely a racist knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who desires to send America back into the Stone Age.
The epitome of the Hollywood liberal who thinks she knows better than the average American simply because she can act. One would think that, having been the lead voice of dissent against former president Bush (whom she called a war criminal just as worse as Hussein), she would be open to dissent against president Obama. Instead, she accuses any form of dissent against him as racist, and anyone who disagrees with her as blind, naïve, or (if they’re women or minorities) sufferers of Stockholm’s ...
