We were talking about...

...[imagine me speaking in a soothing, patient voice] why a right wing talk show might do better than a left wing show.

Your theory was that Americans don't like to listen to the left wing message (proving that there are no left-wingers, I guess).

My theory was that it says something about the difference between left and right wingers, other than the obvious political differences. That (in case I was too brief, last time) the folks on the right are more interested in listening to radio that raises their blood-pressure, than the lefties. I'm not wedded to this theory; it's just a thought.

Your pointing out that there are indeed commentators, protesters, and celebrities with left-wing points of view would be a good point to raise. If I had argued that there were no left-wing commentators, protesters, and celebrities. I can't imagine ever doing anything like that though. You must think I'm stupid, deaf, and blind.
