I'm sure there are soldiers who think that NPR is made up of commies and America haters, well, I wouldn't be surprised anyway. And probably a contingent that has no problem with rampant, out of control use of petroleum. No real point in including them in that show.
Wanna guess how many I have watched to date? As I have said before, if you really found it that offensive, why even subject yourself to even 1 programming? It isn't like you are so stupid that you cannot guess what his angle is. I don't even think it is worth 1 minute of my time to evaluate what he says and I can't even say that I find him irritating. As I said, you need "***** material" and to scare any right leaning ideas off by trying to tie them into Beck just like people use the term "Nazi" to stifle dispute of any racial issue so I guess you can't complain about how offensive it is.

Yes, I suppose you are right at that. Include those whose opinions line up with the theme and forget those in that same category who disbelieve the theme. Pretty much what I would expect of the "guests" on Rush and Beck's shows. As I said, a softer version of Rush and Beck.
