As I said, the equivalent of a Michael Savage. Descriptions of political leaning depend on who's doing the talking of course; the John McCain that left-wingers describe as being far right was actually picked by John Kerry to be his running mate, and John turned it down, and many conservatives call him a Republican in Name Only and
said they'd rather stay home than vote for him (they did). Alan Colmes--I enjoyed his old daytime show--
called his book "Red White And Liberal" IIRC but many on the left feel he's a squishy moderate. For all those on the left who call Bill O'Reilly far right, there are many on the right that think he's too far to the left. And so it goes.
As I've mentioned before there are hosts like Phil Hendrie, Dennis Miller, and Alan Nathan who try to stake out a kind of middle ground, and those on the extremes dismiss them for it. Hendrie is liberal on some issues and
endorsed Obama last year yet supported W and the war on terror. Miller's quote was that while he didn't
mind Larry marrying Steve, he would object to an Islamofascist firebombing their wedding. Nathan (heard
briefly on WNSH) called himself "the militant moderate" and said "we want the Republicans out of our
bedrooms, the Democrats out of our wallets, and both away from our First and Second Amendment rights"
Some people who are liberal on some issues, conservative others, prefer right-wing talk (though they don't
agree on everything) and enjoy putting down "moonbats", Hollywood, "the elite", etc. Others who aren't
straight down the middle on every issue would prefer left-wing talk and make fun of "neo-Cons",
"wing-nuts", "tea partiers", etc. Even Hendrie, whom many would consider to the right on most issues,
poo-pooed the "tea partiers".
