Why are Freepers calling Progressive radio shows claiming to be liberal Democrats before spewing their pre-?

Dickensian claptrap? Given that most Progressive radio hosts invite dissent and varying views, wouldn't it be less undermining of their opinion?

Update:

Strange . . . I note that no one has yet to answer the question. The inquiry was not about defending/disparaging Progressive Talk Radio; it was about Free Republic and pay-for-"conservative"-commercial-types entering into a public conversation through willful and intentional lies and moral malfeasance. I want to why recessivists insist on intentionally and knowing arguing from a position of compromised integrity. It is my fervent desire that folk address that issue. Do they believe that falsely playing the victim makes them holy?

'Pharaoh' comes the closest but chooses to ridicule the mirror proposal and appears to have zero understanding of the progressive understanding of the universe. Unfortunately, Pharaoh's commitment to remaining positional makes his answer almost totally disposable. In fact, his answer seems to be designed to specifically display that qualities of human behavior I am asking about.

@Zay-el: I appreciate the support for my understanding of the universe BUT I wou

Update 2:

@Pharoah: Hilter was not a Progressive. Hitler was a fascist and a dictator. If you ever desire to be accepted as a serious/righteous individual . . . Hell, If you ever desire to be accepted as a human being . . . Loose the patently false jingoistic horse-crap.

Update 3:

@Zay-el: I appreciate the support for my understanding of the universe BUT I would also like the issue of the inquiry to be addressed. Progressive Talkers do tend to engage and discuss opposing points of view. Wingers - like Limbaugh, Hannity and Prager - tend to work to specifically screen-out dissent. Please discuss the hypocrisy inherent in the right-wing callers approach to SPAMming Progressive Talk Shows.

Sooth be typed, I have nothing against idiots holding recessivist opinions. I like have folk to discuss stuff with and sharpen my understanding of our fact-based reality. Heck if it weren't for historical illiteracy and piss-poor rhetorical skills there would be no Republicans/Libertarians/Objectivists.

SIDE NOTE - Additional Information:

Progressive Talkers now make up 3 to the Top Ten Talkers (up from 1 over the last 5 years): http://www.talkers.com/2011hhindex.html

Corporate media outlets tend towards attempting to deliver a message that supports their interests. There is

    Hey, at least they don't shut off the mics on their debate enemies, unlike someone I could name on Fox.

    @Everyone else who replied: And then you'll turn around and say conservatives are under-represented in the media. Hypocrisy, how I love thee.

    I see no connection till it is shown that Loughner not in simple terms listened to talk radio (no information so a strategies that i've got have been given considered) yet that he regarded as though it would obsess on it. He'd met with Ms. Giffords in '07 and reported some element so unintelligible the group is asserted to have chuckled and regarded puzzled. Ms. Giffords became style of speechless and regarded as though it would the subsequent question. Being deranged as Loughner seems, i might think of of he began simmering precise then. ...

    How do you know so much about a person you never met who called into a talk radio show? Are you saying that all liberal Democrats think exactly alike? Are liberal Democrats forbidden from having independent thoughts? Are they...sheep?

    Source(s): Hitler was a progressive.

    Gee, I'd call a Progressive radio show, but I can't think of any offhand that don't have a listening audience over ten people.

    I imagine these "progressive" radio shows are very please to have ANYONE listening.

    Rush has 35 million listeners; I suppose he can get a little more picky than a guy like Schulz who has 12 listeners.

  • They aren't calling in. I believe it is the liberals who are calling in to conservative radio shows.

    I wouldn't know. I don't think I've EVER heard a left-wing radio show.
