This week the UK's telegraph is running a series on the 100 most influential liberals and conservatives in the US.
Each day, they've been listing 20 more, starting with numbers 80-100, working on down, so, today, they will list the top 20-40, and Friday, they'll list the top 20.
But... they list Joe Lieberman as both a liberal and conservative, and they list Stenny Hoyer. They asked for comments, so I started putting my own list together. But I used progressive, not liberal criteria (not left of center, but actually progressive. Here's my partial, incomplete list. It leaves out people already listed in the top 40-100 people listed by the Telegraph. I'm also adding a few more categories besides influential progressives, including
-influential pseudoliberal moderate but really right wing democrats
-cross partisans (like Joe Lieberman, who swing, politically, both ways)
Influential progressives:
air america radio talk show hosts
randi rhodes, thom hartmann
Jones Radio talk show host
Ed Schultz
Mark Green co-owner Air America Radio
Democracy Now's
Amy Goodman
David Sirota-- Creators Syndicate Columnist
