Truthfully, I'm not a big fan of O'Reily's either. He does the same crap. Alan combs does this to a lesser degree....he isn't abusive, but he loves to interupt speakers when they start to make a point he doesn't like.

I much prefer people with the temperment of Sean Hannity. You may disagree with everything that he espouses, but he is never rude to you. He may crush you in your discussion/debate, but he is always cordial and respectful.

As far as Zell goes, I didn't compare him with JFK. What I did do is say that he comes from a time where the moderate stances of people like JFK were celebrated in the Democratic party and those with socialist or communist leanings were relegated to the fringe of the party. You say that Zell's views are antiquated and I believe you are right. This is the great tragedy of the Democratic party. They have allowed the zealots to gain control of the party, which has pulled it farther away from the moderate base.
