Liberal talk radio delves into Indymedia territory:

Every weekday, from three in the afternoon until seven in the evening, Randi Rhodes delivers her brief against George W. Bush. Much of it is standard anti-Bush fare: He stole the 2000 election, he wrecked the economy, he led the nation into a disastrous war under dishonest pretenses. But sometimes Rhodes takes her critique into less familiar territory. Citing a book titled George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, Rhodes alleges that in the 1940s Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather, sold raw materials to the Third Reich. And then there are the Bushes' business ties to the bin Ladens, which, Rhodes says, go back decades and even involve the president himself, who as a young oilman in Texas was partners with Salem bin Laden, Osama's older brother. Indeed, Rhodes contends that it is the Bush-bin Laden relationship--not an anti-American jihad--that accounts for the September 11 attacks. According to Rhodes, Osama bin Laden, disgusted with the corruption of his own family and the Saudi royals, decided to seek revenge against their most prominent American partners: the Bushes. Bin Laden, in other words, doesn't want to destroy the United States; he just wants to destroy Bush.

This is the drivel they use as an example of the "THE COMING RISE OF LIBERAL TALK RADIO". Pretty damn pathetic.
