Liberals (and Progressive Republicans) have a problem.

No doubt the clicking keyboard syndrome of "Netroots activists who prefer e-mails to organizing" is part of the problem. Writers should be more careful even in their electronic local newspaper comments.

In my opinion, what Progressives need is to carefully focus on and study the rise of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, distasteful as that might be.

We need a figurehead like the mirror image of Limbaugh to take on the multifaceted current issues on a daily basis--a person who won't be fired for thought crime like Phil Donahue or Peter Arnett or Keith Olbermann were by [MS]NBC.

A person like Amy Goodman but less eclectic and objective. An _American Dream Machine_ Archie Bunker (without the canned laughs). A Dixie Chick who'll never apologize. A Michael Moore with blazer and tie appeal. An uncowable liberal.

All we have to do is get around Rupert Murdoch's total control of media--and bad proofreading. We need a brand new Phil Donahue Show that can ridicule without compassion the purveyors of "conservative" thinking--and survive.
