The Liberals Are Coming! The Liberals Are Coming!
Air America comes to Chattanooga tomorrow, with a hint of local flavor, as WDOD-AM shifts format to progressive talk. It won't be the full Air America lineup, but it will feature Al Franken, Randi Rhodes and the Majority Report.
I'm happy there will be a local aspect to the station, including local news and commentary. One of the highlights will be a weekly appearance by Hamilton County Democratic Party chair Stuart James.
Not surprisingly, the Chattanoogan's opinion section is awash with old people and Republicans. There are a few gems of Chattanooga opinion there, but let me reprint my favorite part below:

To the owners of Air America and WDOD, I say this:Wow. Now, I am an affirmed XM Satellite Radio fanatic. But thanks to Pete Thurston of East Ridge, who could really use a new county commissioner, I will listen to WDOD every day. Why? Just so this jerk and others like him will have to live with the fact that liberals live in his fair city.
Chattanooga is representative of the people who voted against your agenda last fall, and have been doing so for a generation. Look at the Chattanoogan website and see all the advertisements and announcements for churches and Christian-related events. What is your vision for Chattanooga and all those red state places you so heartily deride? Is it gay pride parades up and down the riverwalk, same-sex marriages in Baptist churches, and Federal troops rushing southward to forcibly reopen abortion clinics in the Scenic City? Do you honestly think that ridiculing our faith and our values will win us over to your side? Do you come to our city, just to torture us? We have endured your values on our TV sets for two generations. It hasn't turned us into what you want, and neither will Air America. We will get our WDOD back, someday.

Like those old backward-masking occult messages on records in the 1970s, W D O D when reversed spells
D O D W ... DOing the Devil's Work.

Just one week in, WDOD is already backing away from liberal talk radio, giving part of their schedule to a health show.
