Actually thats not true at all. If most talk radio listeners were "hard-core right wing conservatives who won't listen to anyone they disagree with" then the Democrats wouldnt care what Limbaugh or Hannity do. They are worried because there are alot of liberals listening to them who are getting swayed by their arguments. Its sort of like howard stern. people who disliked what he said listened more than those who liked what he said because they wanted to know what he would do next.
Talk radio offers listeners something the rest of the news doesnt. A conservative viewpoint (I know fox news has been approaching this method now as well). Unlike what some Democrats seem to think, people are stupid. (why they think their supporters are stupid for not voting for them is beyond me but then im willing to bet there are conservatives who think people are stupid for not voting for them as well) Americans will look at the arguments and see which side presents a better case, which liberals are failing to do. Calling the President stupid and a liar may make you feel like your big, but it doesnt defeat the issues he stands for. It doesnt make terrorism go away, it doesnt make our education system fail less. Democrats have no real agenda. They have been complaining about the same issues for the last fifty years or so despite having control of Congress and the Presidency plenty of times in which they could have passed their agenda. And the last to Democrat Presidencies have been a joke. I think if the liberals want to attract listeners to the radio, they need to find some key issues, develop plans on how to impliment them so that they will work logically and then share them. But they wont they continue to attack Bush offering no alternative. This is why they will fail.
As for them putting it up agianst Orielly i could care less. I dont think he is very indicative of the Conservative movement. He is one of the few ones Conservative talk show hosts ive listened to who i think really is full of himself. This may be why they picked orielly to go up against. But then since im usually getting ready for bed that late at the night i doubt id listen to either anyway.
