Well, they are, hmmm how should i put this, not the demographic that is interested in a more liberal society. They are clowns and the only people who do not know it are the listeners. They are not increasing their audience, their audience is dying off. The big influx of new voters in this country are the hispanic/minority voters and young voters and screaming about brown hordes coming across the border is not going to get much play.

It's actually hurting their cause so i don't mind them so much, because they are reaching to their own choir and letting us listen in to their death rattle. I give it about five years until the hosts start dying off and are replaced by Tejano music stations and 70's music. Really. It's just about over.
The GOP died with Reagan. The just didn't know it yet so they had a Tea Party.
