>>>The people who oppose this war either can't think, don't know history, don't understand the true nature of pacifism, or don't have all the facts. I'm sorry if I just riled anyone up, but that's my two cents.
Sorry, man, but you're wrong. Trust me on this, plenty of liberals and people of conscience oppose this war with a full understanding of history, a good understanding of pacifism, and with a plethora of facts. For myself, I think pretty good most of the time.
But I agree that AM is not the place for political discussions (outside of the message boards if posters so choose -- I post here so rarely that I'm not one to give an opinion on that). We can get all the right-wing rhetoric we want on the barrage of talk radio that comes at us from all directions, and if we want left-wing rhetoric...well, there's always Randi Rhodes if she ever fixes her streaming audio. I come to AM for music that I can't hear anywhere else. I can go elsewhere for political content.
As for CP continuing if he had been left instead of right, according to Avian, he was let go because his show was becoming too packed with political content, not because of the nature of the content. If you believe him, then the management made a difficult and ethical choice. If not, they're liars and why do you hang around liars?
I do know that the one time I attempted to sit through a broadcast of CP, I clicked out after the first political diatribe. Good music (and I liked CP's musical bent) doesn't make political rhetoric go down any smoother.
