The part about Christians is quoted already, as for Muslims, how about here? QuoteThe terrorists are simply terrorists. Being Muslim has nothing to do with them also having some other rather fucked up points of view. Certainly looks like his claim is valid.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Terry Jones is a pastor of a Christian church. He does, in fact, represent a group of Christians. Some very specific ones he ministers to. In much the same way that GWB made Americans look bad in the eyes of the world, Terry Jones has diminished Christians. I called Terry Jones out SPECIFICALLY.

No, a conversation can still be dishonest, recalcitrant, or intransigent. After all: did too did not did too did not did too did not is a conversation, as long as the participants are on reasonably equal footing. According to Wikipedia, Demagogy or demagoguery is a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public—typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist, populist or religious themes. A harangue is a monolog. In both cases, I'd have to say that the majority of the current crop of political radio folks are both demagogs and haranguers...

wmw999 2,588 #50 September 13, 2010 I guess I see a dedicated radio show about current affairs and politics (which would describe Rush, Beck & Schultz pretty accurately) as being different from one about cars where they also express their (admittedly liberal) opinions (like Car Talk). Dave Ramsay is a pretty conservative guy and that comes across, but I don't see him as being a political talker.
