Review on ITunes
Thank you for publishing your show each week. I find it a refreshing alternative to the Talk Radio hysteria you hear in most radio markets.
Despite my appreciation for your show, the inclusion of Wes Clark’s rant against medical researchers was irresponsible. I would like for Mr. Clark to find a single scientist in the medical field who wouldn’t sacrifice a limb to discover the cure to cancer. I would like for him to find a single corporate head who would give up the chance to discover the cure in favor of a treatment, when another company could go ahead with the cure and undermine all the capital funnelled into that treatment. His scenario is not logical or even slightly plausible. I see little difference between he and Glenn Beck with this theory.
His tin-foil hat regarding this subject tainted every other point he made in the show. If this podcast chooses to make this kind of inane hyperbole a continuous part of the show, you will lose one listener… and perhaps others. It is much more powerful to speak the truth than to channel this kind of foolishness.
