But if you're talking a character who is a yelling, angry, hate-spewing talk radio guy, there aren't a lot of liberal types in that genre.

I guess that's my point. It's almost as if the liberal showrunners are nodding to the (presumed?) liberal audience and saying, "Man have you had enough of how wrong all of those idiot right wing radio hosts are? Amiright, folks?!?!" For a minute, it had me thinking, "Yeah, those stupid conservatives" until I realized I WAS a conservative. And I have to imagine that a disproportionally large fanbase for superhero stuff is conservatives, due to the traditional values represented therein. So, it just seems odd to me that (I'm assuming) that the liberal show runners are assuming that their audience is also liberal.

You're right about Green Arrow being the liberal hippie. I had forgotten about that when, again on Smallville, he recently starting spouting off on how the only thing illegal aliens (Clark excluded, I guess) wanted was the same freedoms that our forefathers sought when they came to this country. *rolls eyes* Yeah, it's totally the same thing.
