I just heard the most astonishing thing on a radio station that calls itself “Family Values Radio.” Some “conservative” commentator was going on about how “the liberals” never answer or discuss the “issues” that conservatives “lay down.” Instead, he said, “the liberals” just attack the conservative speaker. Liberals, he claimed, avoid discussing issues in favor of just attacking conservatives personally.
The astonishing thing, of course, was that the person speaking was doing exactly what he claimed was so reprehensible. How can he get away with this? Are the listeners of “Family Values” Radio” so naive that they don’t recognize when their opinions are being so blatantly and shamelessly manipulated? Scary.
