Preaching to the F'n Choir

Okay, I'm angry. I shouldn't listen to talk radio on the way to or from ... anywhere. I especially should not listen to conservative talk radio.
BUT... in listening to the local truly liberal talk radio station (and not one of those that's just labeled as liberal) I got angry. I got angry because I agree with almost everything they say and I don't know what to do about it.
To explain... they're preaching to the choir. The Republicans have a great ability to make a lot of noise, often omitting truth in that noise. Democrats seem to like to fight "fair" and don't make much noise. HOW do we get the real truth out to people who don't know? HOW do we get across that Palin is running for VP, not President. HOW do we get across that she put the Wasilla (and man I wish radio and tv people would learn to say it correctly) budget millions of dollars into debt? How do we get across that she was NOT against the Bridge to Nowhere? How do we get across that she DID illegally obtain someone's personnel records and illegally have them fired? How do we get across that she hired an Abramoff crony to get Wasilla pork barrel money?

She's LIED LIED LIED. She needs to be called out on it and calling her out on it is NOT sexism.
