(9,090 posts)re public option/single payer that americans do want, there is NO organized opposition to the think tanks using public airwaves from radio stations licensed to operate in the public interest, endorsed and advertised by universities and pro teams that broadcast sports on them, to create armies of misinformed teabaggers/dittoheads or whatever you want to call them- enough to enable and intimidate the entire corrupt talk radio GOP and a bunch of blue dogs and a corporate MSM to doing what they want.
RW radio dominates most or all rural states with too many senators, and to a large degree local races in alll states, and it's because the left allows it to, and in 20 years has hardly put up a whimper of complaint.
for 20 years it happened with health care from our radio stations. the teabagers screaming in town halls intimidating pols and media were dittoheads and the left should have called them that but had no clue. they're the same bunch that shouted down the protestors and critics of the wars, and enabled the 2010 elections and idiots in congress to create teh debt ceiling 'crisis'- ---- all this obstruction would go nowhere without their talk radio base/monopoly. it's fucking ridiculous the left spends so much time chasing their tails and playing catchup because of it.
