Wow, now there's a one-sided opinion.  When I listen to conservatives 
like Savage and Coulter and Limbaugh, I hear total contempt and lots 
of negativity-- liberals are called un-American, unpatriotic, even 
communists (Savage says this all the time). I hear conservative 
talkers accuse Democrats of hating our country, and I hear relentless 
name-calling and insults directed at anyone who is a leftie or even a 
moderate.  So, it seems listeners from each side hear what they wanna 
hear and believe that only their side is telling the truth.  We have 
become such a polarized country...
