Case of sour grapes

I was somewhat troubled by the rambling comments of Don Gale (Nov. 7). He suggests that my ability to reason is reduced or compromised because on occasion I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. He is quick to trash these radio hosts personally but fails to offer an opposing view. He says they trade on pessimism and disparage those who disagree, yet, they continually express faith in the people of the United States, the Constitution and principles of freedom.

He gives us his version of the rise of conservative talk shows and yet fails miserably trying to justify their lack of opposition.

I would suggest Mr. Gale is suffering from a severe case of sour grapes. It irks him to be left in the dust, along with the likes of Walter Cronkite.
