For every Rush Limbaugh, there is an opposite. Maybe not on the AM radio Torone has strapped to his chest, but somewhere in the media. be it Barbara Streisand or anyone else or a group of people. I think that a voice on one side creates a voice on the other.

Extremist on both end of the spectrum more than make up for the rest of us. Sadly for the adult business, the VERY conservative, VERY christian leaning people have the microphone right now, and are preaching very heavily. There is alot of leaning on "god", and on being "good christians"...
It is alot like the old Moral Majority, lead by Rev. Falwell. The MM was very much one of the responsible parties when it came to the Meese Commission (a one sided view of which can be found at
http://eserver.org/cultronix/califia/meese/ ), which was an attack on the adult entertainment industry. The support for this strident message came from the "New Christian Right", which at the time dominated the radio and television airwaves.
Sadly, with the consolidation of media, and the rise of syndication of radio shows has lead to more people hearing fewer messages... in my drive around the US this summer, I found that pretty much every day, I could find Rush on the radio... and he is just the most strident of a bunch of rush-a-bes that want to be the next RL.
Oddly, this Christian desire to control our actions leads to more government, which is exactly the opposite of what everyone thinks of the Republican party...
Who is on the more "liberal" side right now on the radio? Drudge? Hmmm...
