Oh, perhaps it's not tone deafness, then, you just think everyone around you is everyone. Common mistake.

Meanwhile, first page of Google image search for, generically, "cheney", yields:















And that's just the first page. You have to go eight pages into a similar GIS for "Obama" to get the same amount of material.

..And Cheney has been in office and a candidate for over 8 years to Obama's 1.

And I'm just taking a sampling of the places I see. I'm not necessarily talking about my workplace, but every office I've been in for one reason or another. People do not put up the 'I hate Republican' stuff up like I see conservatives do.

Maybe that's why talk radio has Rush and Beck, etc, and the liberals have junky Air America. Conservatives like red meat speech, and liberals don't. It's hard to sell bitter hatred if the audience isn't buying.

While the web might have some examples, it's all amateur hour. Noone is paying 400 million dollars to Al Franken.
