Have you ever noticed how Pugs use emotion rather than reason
Advertisements [?]
to try and win arguments? In their undeserved arrogance, they belittle, slam, lie, infuriate, call names, intimidate -- just like a bully in the schoolyard who is TOO DUMB to reason with.

Take Hannity for example: everytime he about to lose an argument, he either calls his guest a name, talks over them, tells them he's not going to listen to them, or says something the likes of, "your father wears women's underwear."

O'Reilly is another example. His best weapon is his smug arrogance.
When all is lost, he simply says, "SHUT UP."

Whereas, you take a progressive talk show host like Ed Schults,
he listens to his callers... even if they are off their rockers.
He challenges their assumptions with REASON. When was the last
time you EVER saw a Republican use REASON to win an argument
rather than cheap, schoolyard bully tactics? I'd like to know.
