It is ridiculous, preposterous, and theater of the absurd. (see here for context. Editor)
I will name no names and will not join this mudbath. I have appeared on a number of shows as a guest, listen to many of them, find great value in most of them.
Conservative media, conservative politics, and conservative money have megabillion dollar machines.
Liberals feud with liberals. Liberal money people are stingier than Scrooge with liberal media. Liberal politicians view the progressive internet and radio as colonial powers view colonies, as a source of money extracted from average Americans to finance overpaid consultants. And now liberal hosts feud with each other.
It is ridiculous.
Prediction: the story of 2007 will be the belated but powerful synergy between progressive individuals, progressive media, progressive internet and progressive radio with progressive causes such as opposing mistaken wars and combatting global warming and climate change.
In the meantime, to the feuding hosts: please shut the hell up instead of attacking each other. When I hear that talk, I love you all, turn you off.
Stay tuned. I will have much more to say, and do, on this subject soon.

You are so very correct. Liberals think unless a candidate agrees with them on every single issue, they are not going to vote for them. Many times their attacks on other Liberals is much more harsh than their attacks on Republicans whom they seem to just ignore.
The Republicans are deciding right now who can win for them in '08. Liberals are deciding who agrees with them one hundred percent on every issue. Lincoln was so correct, "United we stand, Divided we fall."

I wish I knew who you were talking about. I only listen to a few of the Air America Shows. One thing that does bother me about liberal commercial talk radio is what appears to be the host's desire to ape people like Rush Limbaugh. I am disgusted by all of that blustering. I also don't like religion-bashing. I guess I'm lucky that I haven't heard any liberal-on-liberal radio bashing yet. I must not listen to the 'hot' shows or something.
