7. Robertson, Moore, Coulter.
Yeah, those three sure are similar in their rhetoric.

"Fair and Balanced" is fucking garbage. You don't "balance" Moore with Coulter.

9. I think it was Tom Tomorrow who had a good one on that
Michael Moore, "President Bush is a liar"
Ann Coulter, "I just wish Timothy McVeigh had blown up the NY Times building"

Yep, they're equal.

12. Al Franken and Michael Moore are
not, by any stretch, "outrageous." Maher's not "outrageous" either.

Pat Robertson and Ann Coulter have serious mental issues. Coulter is all about trying to be "outrageous" for the sole purpose of making a quick buck, but she just comes across as pathetic.

Limpballs is another poser - a verbal shit shoveler who spews lies for an audience he knows full well makes the guys in Deliverance look normal.

O'Reilly is all ego. It's all about him. The only thing I find outrageous is that he's still on the air after he was exposed as a sexual harrasser. A Dem would have been forced to resign in disgrace - or, at the very least, seek professional help. Bill took the repuke way out - hush money.

Howard Stern's entire gimmick is to be outrageous - but he's really only giving his audience what they want.

No one on that list is truly outrageous in the "I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me" tradition.

13. They compared JOKES to real statements
Oh my god, what complete bullshit. They compared Maher and Franken and Stern making jokes to real beliefs by Limbaugh and Coulter and Robertson. That's what's outrageous.
