Because I find all religious broadcasters offensive.
It is called freedom of speech and equal time.
BTW: I was watching an interview on FOX of a man in Holland(?) (where
the
Divinci relative was murdered recently) and he was on a mission to
"deal"
with Muslim religious fundamentalists in his country. Needless to say
he
said he was being guarded by the police 24/7, can't go home to sleep or
see his family often, but was determined to press for the "removal" of
fundamentalism.
Personally, I don't believe we can have too much mockery of
Christianity. When it's left alone and left to develop--or
fester--unmocked,

Let us know what you care about so we can make fun of it. Sounds like
you need a little of what you want to dish out in kind.
What I care about is made fun of and viciously insulted by Rush and his
spawn approximately 16 hours a day on my local AM radio station and
millions of stations just like it all over the country. They not only
deride most of what I believe in, they constantly say vicious things
about the intelligence and integrity of persons like me, and they
routinely attack our patriotism and suggest that there is no place in
the country for our world view.
Whenever I listen to those guys I soon get so angry I can hardly speak.
After I calm down I rationally think that it's sad that they get to
engage in such vituperation, while on the other side NPR and the major
networks still make a good-faith effort to be balanced.
NPR... balanced? Come on.
Apparently, this is what our public discourse has come to under the
influence of the fury of our right wing. Today I think that the
imposition of these two different sets of self-imposed rules on the two
great political groupings of the nation will hurt us tremendously in the
long run. I'd like to hear leftists and liberals stop being polite and
come out swinging too. If they did, I would hope someone like Robert
Green would step forward here to would be my champion.
