Two best book titles in recent memory:

Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations

LIES and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: a Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.

And from cover to cover he demolishes them with arguments they cannot refute. The difference is that he does so with humor, which sends them into fits, because they cannot paint him as "angry".

FDR, too, was a cheerful warrior. The worst thing they could say about him was that they hated him. They could not impeach his character.

Short answer: they hate him because he's an effective advocate for liberal positions. If they were intellectually honest, they would welcome a debate. *wipes tear of laughter away* But we all know they're not. And he points that out with brio!

The more they hate him, the more a) that means he's effective, and b) they are likely to destroy themselves. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make angry," someone ancient said.

Perhaps they don't like that Franken refers to their NeoCon prom queen Ann Coulter as a "nut case."
