Guys like that truck driver are tailor-made audience members for Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly and their ilk who shout into their microphones, “Hey! Gotta problem? It's the liberals' fault! They are out to ruin your life, take away your job and turn your children gay!” They bombast hate and rage and muck and convince the suckers who listen that their difficulties are someone else's fault and that their way of life is in danger.

I'm sick of these conservative talk show morons and the venom they spew. Next time you tune in, ask yourself: Is this guy helping me with anything? Is he providing any worthwhile information, or is he just ranting about stuff that makes me angry?

These radio hosts use your emotions and indignation to make you feel special, that your values are under attack from evil, anti-American liberals. They cast their bait with their microphones, and the moment you get angry, they've got you hooked, sucker.
