"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Right-Wing DJs Spinning the Hate

A few days ago, on National Review's blog The Corner, Jerry Taylor suggested that right-wing radio, at best, preaches only to the converted and, at worst, hurts the image of conservatism and small government ideas among the rest of the nation. Other bloggers on the site quickly dogpiled him, with nasty and personal posts letting him know that such ideas were beyond the pale.

Mark Levin is the sort of person whom they defended. Incidentally, Levin, whose recent book has been celebrated by the Republican echo chamber, is one of the bloggers at The Corner.
