Back up claims with proof

Rather than calling the radio talk-show hosts spewers of hate, I wish those offended would tell us why they disagree and present arguments to convince us otherwise. Thomas Sowell, in last week's column, did exactly what I'm saying. He stated that Barack Obama shows contempt for core American values. Sowell then listed more than a dozen reasons to back up his claim.

Liberals need to stop whining by calling those they disagree with "peddlers of hate, fear and ignorance." Instead, they need to combat talk radio with cogent arguments and ideas to convince us that liberalism is the true path.
